I get what you're saying about how people establish stronger pathways when they discover something on their own rather than copying something down but at the same time, that's how education works. You have something explained to you simply first, whether that's by human instruction like a prof or written instruction/visual demonstration like doing your own research on google. Of course there are low quality/high quality internet sources just like there are low quality/high quality professors and that goes back to how much of a desire the student has to learn, whether they just want to copy and paste answers or actually understand why it is that answer.

As a math teacher I'm sure you can agree that high level academics depends on having a understanding of the fundamentals. If I don't understand algebra or polynomials then It's going to take me a while to get a hang of derivatives or calculus and that doesn't mean I'm stupid or lazy, I just haven't devoted my life to that specific field because I have 9 other courses to study at the same time. Graduation numbers would be insanely low if we expected kids to figure everything out on their own without access to previous knowledge like the internet. Having the world's library at your fingertips gives you the ability to copy and paste but also the ability to be an autodidact, it really depends on that specific person's desire and goals.

I had a lot of foreign students as TA's for my calc courses, I know it's not their fault but it was really difficult for a lot of us to understand their accents and we didn't want to be rude by asking them to repeat themselves all the time. If I didn't learn google-fu for explanations on concepts I would have failed those classes easily.

I think that comes down to your desire to learn. One person might just repeat a google answer but another person might spend some time thinking about why it's the right answer.

Google is how people get degrees after all, it's the modern day version of hunting down books in libraries

I was using the brave app watching youtube this morning in mobile mode like a normal person. I go to my subscriptions and all of a sudden it's locked in desktop mode.

I checked the settings to make sure I didn't accidentally select retrieve desktop site and I hadn't. When I try to manually input the web address m.youtube.com, it automatically changes to www.youtube.com/?app=desktop.

Never had this issue with the app before and the only site I see it happening to so far is youtube.

There is a theory that natural human psychology wasn't made to handle all of the world's atrocities. People experience a "bad news burnout" because some of us constantly feel disappointed in humans as a race by hearing/seeing sociopathic behavior on an international level every day.

What name are you accusing me of calling you? Lol I accused you of things you never said? What you said was so racist that it was deleted by a mod. Haven't seen gaslighting like this since I accidentally watched Trump debate highlights.

That's definitely in the top 5 most ignorantly racist things I've heard/read this year

Any "human" that feels ok with locking their kid in a drawer is not fit for society. That's not like forgetting to feed your dog one time.

Regardless of whether she was too mentally deficient to understand what she was doing or she consciously tortured this child. It's highly unlikely that someone could put a child, their own child, through that nightmare and all of a sudden turn a new leaf. 7 years is far far far too light of a sentence, this "mother" is a danger to others.

If 2/3 of people seemingly understand the truth, how tf was he voted back in? Can they get rid of the outdated electoral college system yet?

As long as they're not obnoxiously loud and saying something that's actually funny, I think it's completely normal. People usually say funny things that they find funny so it would be natural for them to laugh a little.
