It’s all too common when anti-phrenology people don’t understand phreno101.

oh look yet another warmed over “DAE the kids r bad” talking point that i’ve been hearing literally since i learned language.

yes because having assigned reading material directly and specifically relevant to the subject of the class is exactly the same as registering for a website full of shitposts and propaganda bots. remember when you got all that spam from opening your textbook, and there was an entire chapter calling you out for being a little bitch?

that’s the stupidest comparison i’ve ever heard.

“hey there’s this thing called lemmy, check it out some time” <- leading a horse to water

“ok you have to register an account on lemmy, it’s part of your grade” <- shoving a hose down the horse’s throat and cranking the spigot

requiring my students to create Lemmy accounts

No. Nobody likes registering accounts for random services because an authority figure told them they had to, I feel like if it were me I would do the bare minimum of interacting that I was required to and never look at the service again out of resentment.

I’ve been saying for eight years he’d be more dangerous as a martyr than his stupid alive self.

right now mine has manjaro+cinnamon. i booted my wife’s Win11 laptop to it so she could test drive it and within ten minutes she was asking how to get to the installer. i hope to repeat this process with others as well.

i grew up in a rural area where nascar is very popular (i personally never cared for it or paid much attention) and never understood the seemingly irrational hatred some people seemed to have for mr earnheardt, but that one quote makes it all make sense. thanks for clearing that up for me.

As a Linux user whose first distro was Arch, I heartily endorse this advice. Arch is a terrible place to start.

this is news to all of us greymuzzles with multiple decades invested in the fandom

it sounds like you’re not only deeply insecure but unwilling to better yourself out of a misguided sense of spite

if you won’t talk to me except through insta then you’re not worth being friends with just fucking text me like a normal ass human.

when the disagreement is about whether we should be allowed continue existing it’s a bit much to handwave like that, and fuck you very much for deigning to not only frame it like that but 'splain it to us like we’re children. get bent.

the US military uses a personal cooling vest that was invented by a furry to keep cool in his fursuit

Is that what’s happening here though? I don’t have any context for this and there’s no obvious tell (that I could find) that the business is Jewish-owned and that it wasn’t put up by the owner, just looks like a small business taking an anti-genocide stance to me.

If the context is what you’re saying though, that’s fucked. Jews deserve blame for the actions of the extremists running the Israeli state the way Christians deserve blame for the actions of MAGA - these fascist groups don’t represent the religion or the people they’re just wearing it as a hat.

EDIT: To the reader: I should have read farther, another reply chain provides context that

1. this is in fact a Jewish-owned business, and

2. this specific Jewish-owned business has expressed a pro-Palestine stance on its Facebook account (specifically, its pfp is a palestine flag overlaid with a raised fist encircled by the words “Free Palestine End The Occupation”).

It seems very unlikely that this is a targeted act of hate, and PerogiBoi should be ashamed of themself for inventing a narrative out of whole cloth based on one factual detail and then proceeding to decry everyone else as “reactionary”.

I’m sorry you were taught words wrong.

ITT people who think all coffee is like the Z-tier roasted-until-burnt held-until-stale blasphemy they serve at Starbucks.

ITT people who think all tea is the result of oversteeping a lipton bag in a cup in the microwave.

ITT people who think any random plant plus hot water is “tea” but are oddly specific about what is “coffee”.

Tea is also not chunks of dried fruit and random herbs, it’s a specific plant.

No. Only tea is tea. If there’s no actual tea leaves in it then it’s an infusion. Not goddamn tea. You may as well soak orange peels in hot water and call it “orange coffee”, it makes zero sense.

“paying people who create value for your company is too complicated to worry about” is a weird justification
