I can think of an America specific reason to not block all communication with the outside world in a school. Even if every room has a wired landline that worked and was accessible to students and teachers

Even in the event that the article is talking about, he at least had some logic behind it

When Walz was elected a few months later, he did try to halt the pipeline’s development. Early in his first term, Walz continued a legal challenge from his predecessor’s administration against Line 3, which he continued until 2020.

But after that legal challenge was rejected, Walz declined to use his executive powers to stop the pipeline, and his administration approved key construction permits that allowed the pipeline to move forward. He told MinnPost in 2019 that he believed a unilateral decision “would violate principles of ‘checks and balances’ between the executive, judicial and legislative branches of government.”

“If you fall on the side that says, ‘Well, the governor should just stop this; it’s the right thing to do,’ then you would be making the case that the next governor should just build one, without any environmental review, without any process involved,” Walz said at the time

Which I don't 100% agree with but at least see where he's coming from.

But if she is black, they can call her a DEI candidate. And if she's not black, they can call her a liar. Both insults are wrong, but they need to have a consistent message. So that's probably why they're so obsessed with race. That and they're racist.

Horror movie idea, this concept but when the second humans arrive, they find the human civilization that got there first was wiped out before they got there and they don't know why.

I think it's open to interpretation. Like you could take it at face value of just a funny comic about lions and gazelles.

At a deeper level though, it's about the ones in charge placating their victims by giving them something that won't actually help them out of their bad situation. And also maybe that knowledge without action won't change anything. That kind of situation and lesson could be applied to so many things, like rich people telling poor people to go to college to get degrees that don't actually help enough with pulling themselves out of poverty because in reality the game is rigged.

Stuff like that, but that's just my interpretation.

So now I have to pay to see ads for Intel?

Seriously though, I think this is great. With it being one of the top results when searching for benchmarks, and how biased it's become, it would be great if better sites can overtake it

Absolutely based

“I was passing by and I saw what was going down,” he said in an interview, “and I figured, they can’t have a riot without me!” Van Ronk was not gay, but he had firsthand experience with police violence, both at the Beatnik Riot in Washington Square Park in 1961, as well as at many antiwar demonstrations. “As far as I was concerned,” he said, “anybody who’d stand against the cops was all right with me, and that’s why I stayed in…Every time you turn around the cops were pulling some outrage or another.”

It's 2023 and we're still doing this? It's pretty obvious neither is objectively better, stop being so loyal to companies and their products.

I'm so surprised. The GOP?? Never, this is shocking. I'm blown away right now. But Republicans care about kids, and the drag queens are the groomers /s

My mom found porn on my computer in high school so my parents decided it would be a good idea to sit the whole family down and talk about what she found and what new restrictions the Internet would have for us all.

Turns out that restrictions on porn for high schoolers don't work and just make them more... creative. That was my first taste of learning about IT haha so maybe I should actually thank them.
