I played guitar in a shitty band in highschool and the administration let us play an impromptu show in the commons during the last period of the day, as long as we played an original song for Pi Day. Our vocalist recited somewhere around 100 digits of pi while the rest of us just made noise over a PA before they came out and told us to quit. Then we all went on possibly the best Spring Break ever.
Now, to any person who has ever seen an AI image or indeed seen anything in the real world, you'd think it would be obvious that these are fake images. ... And yet, other each of this images there are hundreds, sometimes thousands of positive comments. ....
So braindead and stereotypical are these comments that you might think they are themselves AI generated. But, picking a few at random, I checked out their profiles and they seem genuine. ... They did also all seem to be active churchgoers but that must be some kind of coincidence...
I'm playing two different saves in Skyrim right now, and I still thought it was The Long Dark when I saw the thumbnail. Seriously underappreciated title!
I was in the market for a new keyboard recently, and came down to either a Redragon or a HyperX, and I ended up going with the latter just because it was on sale. I'm happy with the HyperX, but I think either would have been just as good for me.
Very similar details to what you wrote here -- they have their own switches, feels nice, inexpensive, RGB... I got black "pudding" key caps to replace the stock ones, but there are plenty of pink options too.
Only thing I don't think works for OP is that I don't see any HyperX keyboards with a white base, only black. Redragon has at least a few white base keyboards, though.
I was really surprised at first that it was a woman, but then it became pretty clear that she was an old, white woman, and then it at least made more sense. She's (presently) unaffected by any of the bullshit that is being thrust upon women of child-bearing age, the persons of color, the non-binary folk, the young people hurt most by skyrocketing housing costs, etc; and she's thoroughly unapologetic about her lack of empathy for any of those groups of her fellow Americans. Goddamn, what a bummer.
EDIT: Then I made the mistake of continuing to listen, and half or moreall of the callers for the next 20 minutes are brainwashed boomers ranting about how Biden was the devil and Trump is going to save us from the illegal immigrants who are ruining all of our lives. Yeesh.
My partner is T1D, and I've seen what ketoacidosis looks like. It's awful. I simply do not believe that any adult living in a modern society could see those symptoms playing out and think that it would get better without real medical intervention... Especially a father. I think he was looking for an "out," and he thought he'd found it in this cult.
Jenny Nicholson, for anyone interested. There's an equally long one about a failed permanent Renaissance Faire that's a real trip, too. Almost all of them are a fun diversion, really.
This is what I was advocating for, with the additional caveat of the admin doing their part.
My friend who teaches at a local high school told me about at least two instances where parents berated her when they came to retrieve the phone, and having no backing from the school administration. It's easy to imagine that, at some point, it's not worth it to enforce rules if you're just going to get screamed at for it.
Wait till you see the comments on any thread about Florida.
People like to broadly label strangers, putting them away into neatly-labeled boxes in their minds. It makes it easy to ignore the suffering of the innocent, because there are no innocents in [insert location here].
But what I think would be more important would be for there to be fines.
I like this, it seems like a very practical approach that takes on the root issue. Parents need to address their kids' conduct in school, it can't solely be on the teachers and staff.
Just to play devil's advocate; what if the parents ultimately refuse to pay the fines?
You think teachers will ever do any teaching if they spend their whole day playing phone police?
Assuming they're struggling to get any teaching done while there are no rules in place, this still seems like a step in the right direction to me. But to answer your question, I suppose that depends on what the rules are, and how they're enforced. One infraction could mean your phone is taken away for the rest of the day, or until a parent comes to get it -- For example. The biggest problem I see with this approach would be that it foists a lot of liability onto the teacher -- As in, if there were an emergency situation for the student following the teacher taking their phone away, perhaps the teacher could be held liable in some way. Then again, I think this comes down to the administrative staff having a very clearly defined policy in place.
And the emergency reasoning is bogus. The teacher has a phone, an intercom, and a panic button.
And if the teacher is subdued? Or if the emergency takes place on school grounds, but outside of the classroom? Etc.

It was Friday, March 14th, 2003. Pi Day.
