Probably not to the same level of lane-correct-agressiveness, but my SIL’s Volkswagen’s lane correct is insane. The roads around here aren’t great, and it will often detect random streaks or lines of potholes as a lane and refuse to allow you to avoid them. Once an elk ran in front of the car and when my brother tried to swerve to avoid the damn car fought him so hard we only narrowly missed it. And at other times when on roads with no lane markings at all it randomly decides that the road isn’t the road, and that ditch over there is the lane we’re supposed to be in.

All that said, it works great most of the time, and we just turn it off if it’s acting hinkey

A well rounded graduate of highschool, having experienced multiple different kinds of work environments could help our society feel a little more connected, lead to kids better able to determine what it is they want to do with their lives. If you had to do this once per year during highschool, and you had to pick a different one each year, you’d end up with at least 4 different experiences by the end. That’s a lot better than our current system of “you’ve never been allowed to make a decision before. Now, my child, on your 18th year, decide your career for the rest of your life, and blindly take our 200 thousand dollars worth of loans to do it”

That’s fair, honestly. I was going to make a quip about kids not wanting to learn math, so what right do we have to force them to learn it. But in all honesty, you’re right. We treat kids like little machines who must do and say as we command, and that’s a problem. I still stand by saying that experience with the working world would be beneficial, and that it should be part of standard education, but as far as the ethics and morality of it goes, it’s a sticky area that would need much discussion.

I’m not suggesting that no one has empathy, or even that most don’t, just that some would benefit from this in that arena

How about we just add it to curriculum for school. During general highschool educational, you must take at least one Public Service class per year. You can choose from farming, retail, plumbing, electrician, road crew, et cetera. Each kid has to do a certain number of hour per school year, and it’s required even if private school kids. Disability would obviously be an exception, but otherwise you need to be doing at least X number of hours per school year to graduate. Could help people understand how these things work, and hopefully build some empathy in the little sociopaths.

Dammit, that wasn’t supposed to post yet. I’m still in the process of revising! Lol.

Couldn’t students just generate a paper with ChatGPT, open two windows wide by side and then type it out in a word document?

Y’all need to stop offering me this, I’m gonna take one of you up on it. I want out of the south :(

Ha. She’s one worth crying over. Lost her in April, and I don’t know that I’ll recover. Hug your loved ones. ♥️

But I will tell you, she taught me how to steal fantastic cheeses, and we never went hungry again. Haha.

Not to mention the mechanic always messes with thomas’ kaboose

Would marry that farmer. No questions asked, no long engagement. Straight to the court house, we’re getting hitched.

My mom and I used to steal fancy cheese for each other. God I miss that woman like you can’t believe. 10/10 mom and person.

I’m sorry, you’re all crazy people who are wrong with your wrongheaded wrongness. Ent is second best 90s/aughts trek. This is a factual fact that is true and good in the eyes of the Lord and Prophet Rodenberry, peace be upon him.

Loudly sings Faith of the Heart over any counter argument

I flipped my phone, fully expecting to just see nothing at all. It legit does look like a cat. That’s fucking wild

I’m a tech moron, but I’ve been on Linux of and on since like 07ish. Full time since 2015ish. Started with Ubuntu way back when, and I’ve jumped around from distro to distro. I’ve tried Manjaro, mint, opensuse… God, I can’t even tell you what else. I once installed that Miley Cyrus Linux and ran it for like a week as a gag. But from 2015 onward when I went full time I’ve basically just been in Fedora (including silverblue and Bazzite). I’ve got Ubuntu running on a mini PC I’m using to set up a server for jellyfin and a few other things. But as far as my daily driver goes, it’s almost always fedora. I just fucking love it.

But bear in mind here, I’m a pretty surface level user, so what I love is actually Gnome. Lol

Personally I was only 14-16 for like 5 years at most

Lmao. That stands for leaded and regular. Sheesh.

Honestly, that’s fucking genius. They should do murals on elevators doors that change as they open

They said scifi, not fantasy :p
