Relyssa posted:It certainly is a shame that fake things can't still be funny. Posts espousing this opinion totally baffle my brain. The whole comedy of the situation hinges upon the voyeurism of seeing someone's brain fart. If it's fake, its as effective a joke as someone saying "wouldn't it be funny if I painted over a shadow thinking it was a dark spot ha ha ha"

If it were a hilarious joke by itself then they wouldn't need to pretend it was a candid shot.

kazil posted:OP was talking about native speakers of Europe. Not worldwide. Why though? The conversation was about esperanto's creation as based on widely spoken languages that originated from Europe. Colonialism had already happened and the Americas already existed, it's entirely arbitrary to define European languages as those spoken within the geographical confines of the continent of Europe when discussing the relative merits of what languages to use as the base for a new one.

dialhforhero posted:This is entirely the problem with Esperanto. It doesn't take languages outside of European languages in its design, and even then it doesn’t have a resemblance of proportional influence based on number of speakers from its influences. Nor, for that matter, is it neutral in its design as it was intending to be. I mean yes I'm not disagreeing that it's obviously a problem for a language trying to become a global second tongue to be predominantly derived from only European languages. But I'm still totally confused by whatever you're trying to say about native speakers of Russian because globally Spanish, English, Portuguese and possibly French all have more native speakers, which is surely relevant when discussing which European languages it made most sense to draw from. If your point is there's more native speakers of Russian in geographical Europe then yes obviously but how is that relevant? Butterfly Valley has a new favorite as of 15:24 on Jul 1, 2023 |

HPanda posted:When I was growing up, the thing was parents arguing computers (desktops) in classrooms were awful and pointless because they grew up without computers in classrooms. Now my generation is arguing smartphones in classrooms are awful and pointless because we didn’t have them while growing up. These two things are not even remotely the same. Computer literacy is a basic requirement in nearly every job that exists and is an incredibly important life skill. Kids know how to use their phones and will know how to use their phones just as well even if they're denied them during school hours. Also in my school at least there was a constant running battle between the IT nerds and the staff to get Counter Strike/Warcraft installed and working on the PCs while the staff played whack-a-mole, it was definitely a learning experience

projecthalaxy posted:Is exactly what your colleagues told me when I complained about being sexually assaulted in junior high, yes. To be fair, the "also you're not allowed to tell your parents is new." "A fight" doesn't have to mean "beaten up" or "sexually assaulted" and you should very well know that instead of trying to slippery slope their argument based on your own personal poo poo experience

HPanda posted:We can either fight against integrating what the kids are using in their everyday life or we can strengthen instruction using the tools familiar to them. I was teaching for 15 years before changing careers, and my very first class was teaching English Composition in a computer lab. Knew from day 1 that trying to fight against what students want to use is a losing battle. Better to redirect what they use to productive learning. Absolutely, to your last point, but there's still a difference between kids using tablets and other tech to support their learning, and kids having a phone in their pockets to gently caress around with/film people in the classroom. I was at school in the last generation before iPhones so we all had phones but as they weren't much good for anything apart from playing snake unless you were a rich kid, classroom distraction wasn't really an issue. I teach mainly adults now in smaller groups so if they're looking at their phone I just ask them if it's something important and let them deal with it if so and otherwise just pause until they get the point. I get that this wouldn't be as easy in normal classroom sizes though. Ideally there wouldn't need to be a heavy handed approach, because teachers have enough poo poo to deal with without having to fight with kids over making them hand over their personal possessions. Lessons should be engaging enough that kids don't feel the need to gently caress about and kids should be able to not look at their phones for the length of a class. This is all pie in the sky poo poo though, I can see schools that are sick of this poo poo having blanket classroom bans on phones and I can unfortunately also see the largely USA-specific safety issues of wanting to be able to get a hold of your kid at any time.

Why are you reposting that from the PC building thread on these forums? Edit: it's mildly funny if you're a big nerd because that isn't the motherboard power port and the very slightly bent pin will never be used anyway as it's for case intrusion detection, but if you're new to PC building it makes sense to check
