so… you’re just casually scraping and replying to months old comments… okaybuddy, ez block. Actual crazy person behavior.

Scraping a post from 7 months ago to lob a shitcanned insult? Yea? Is that normal behavior for you or like, are you an actual bot searching the word “bot”?

welp, that’s a new low.

Cool, gonna make some routers that you cant buy in the US?

Ringworm, just everywhere. Syphilis in his eyes. Use your mind’s eye; manifest it into reality.

Spirals, you say?

See, this is the kind of thing that I thought AI would be used for.

But now, after all the generative bullshit, and theft and hallucinations and antisocial reinforcement and environmental havok and techbro douchebaggery… I just dont care.

this was the first quote I thought of after having read Orwell’s. I think they’re both talking around the same thing here and I agree with them on it.

Pacifism is a virtue for those who will be unaffected either way, or who benefit from the status quo. More to the point, it’s convenient and easy to do nothing while feeling morally superior. And it’s the position of people who look at the violence of the conflict and conclude that both sides are the same. Because they don’t want to inconvenience themselves with having to look any deeper, learn anything more, or get involved in any manner. Afterall… it doesn’t affect them, so its easy to be a smug pacifist.

wheesht?

How’s that corpo boot taste? If you lick it real hard maybe you’ll get your own boots, but only if you lick real shiny.

I did buy the book tho… it’s with all the other books… I’ll read them at some point…

you’re just be pedantic. The issue isn’t about it being “mostly”, it’s about if its a “men’s” thing. A 42/58 isn’t that wide of a gap to say that it’s one gender’s thing. As the difference could likely just be attributed to other cultural factors and not the thing itself.

If office workers were split 42/58, you wouldn’t call it a “man’s” job, even if technically there’s more men.

eyyy there goes $140 million dollars just so the chuds could take their chud-to-be tax burden kids to gawk at the military propaganda while saying “whooooa look at da airpwane”

They dont have children, they are a child.

Oh, got it, youre just a literal child. Of course you know everything.

A chromebook is an open invitation for all manner of distraction. The convenience is a double-edged sword. Having tablet like tech to work through also means it’s just as easy to go do something else rather than the task at hand. In addition, the school chromebooks are controlled by the school admin, and not the parents, more on that later.

With a book or some kind of physical medium, switching to a different thing means physically changing what you’re doing and interaction with. With a chromebook it’s as simple as opening up a new tab. And since the environment hasn’t changed (still at the desk on a the chromebook) it’s far too easy to lose track of time. They’re not mode-switching, they’re just switching tabs.

This is disaster, especially for children who already lack impulse control; because they’re children. Kind of one the main hallmarks of being a child. It’s exponentially worse for neurodivergent children, especially those with ADHD. Class/Homework/Textbook is boring? Open up a tiktok/youtube/etc tab… hours are gone. HOURS.

So the solution should be “well okay, the just block those things”. But you can’t… because you (as the parent) are not the chromebook admin, the school is. “Then you should just watch them”, you’re right, but ya know what would be better? If they weren’t doing their work on a machine that was so easily for them be distacted. Schools shouldn’t be giving children the tools to consume hours of brainrot, give the parents no controls in the mattter and just go “welp, figure it out”.

A child using paper and pencil has to physically change what they are doing and their focus. That’s mode switching. And it provides a focus barrier helping kids remain on task or at the very least track time (like with a pomodoro timer).
