Hot Fuzz is the best buddy cop movie I've ever seen.

Paying Microsoft more money so they can give you less Windows is a very Microsoft thing to do.

Disney has made and destroyed many pop stars. Miley Cyrus explained in an interview that she had to act as crazy as possible for Disney to stop forcing her to tour as Hannah Montana.

I'd buy it on Blu-ray tomorrow if I could. They won't shut up and take my money...

Gordon Cole (played by David Lynch) from Twin Peaks.

Who's that Pokemon?!

It's...

Goldeen! Wait... Goldene?

what if we showed each other our humanity in the streets of the ringed city? 👉👈

This chucklefuck was talking about fixing illiteracy in Utah like, a week ago. Yet here he goes, empowering people who want to gut education.

Unfortunately, I did not choose the level of privilege I was born into. It sucks that you feel like trauma has to be some pissing contest. Please try to be a little nicer to people, I'm sure it will get you a lot further in the long run.

Children were handed a portal to all the information they could want, and constant contact with everyone they know.

I'd stress if someone stole all of that from me too. If you want to bully me over it go for it, but don't bully children for crying out loud.

Edit: also read the article. Nobody is complaining. They are using data to show it can take years of phone limiting to get the desired results of better behavior and test scores.

They're going to make Starship Troopers again? Okay I guess.

You see, the joke is that "dual boot" means you have two drives/partitions you boot from.

"Duel boot" would imply your boot drives will take 10 paces apart from one another, turn, and shoot each other, one dying and the other emerging victorious.

Instructions unclear, warped to Babylon 5.

Oof, sorry I tried to have fun on your science board.

Just as a general piece of advice, the --help flag will usually list out flags that can be used with a command.

Also the tldr package is available for a lot of distros. Might be worth seeing if yours has it. It's like --help but a little more human readable.

Being condescending to us won't fix a thing. Please reconsider your approach.

You literally cut off the other half of that idea that explains the phones are not the center of the problem, and said they are the center of the problem.

If you want to miss the point and argue in bad faith, go ahead I guess.

You won't change my mind: School needs to be engaging enough that students don't seek distractions. Phones, books, clicky-pens, daydreams, doodles, writing, passing notes, all fulfill the same exact purpose of amusing a bored mind.

Everyone's struggle is valid, everyone handles different stresses in different ways. Bullying people won't make them fit in the box you have made for them.

Ah yes, it's the children's fault we haven't changed our approach to education since the industrial revolution.

I texted and listened to my iPod in school, I can guarantee students have been disruptive and hard to teach forever. The phones may enhance their distraction but, students doodle, daydream, and dissociate all the time.

Want students engaged in schooling? Engage with programs that make education more interesting, and help students find better ways to learn.
