So going off the chalice in the movie, the distro that will save you from judgment is the plainest one – the one with the least bloat? That tracks.

Is there such a community here? Maybe you could start one.
I blame both, much in the same way that I’d blame a quack doctor and parents bringing their kids to the quack doctor.
13 words per minute isn’t impressive
Worse than that, it’s abysmal. That would’ve been a failing grade back when I had a few months of mandatory typing classes back in 6th grade. 40 WPM was an A, and arguably that was overly generous due to factors like 1) most students weren’t nearly as exposed to the keyboard in their daily lives as they are today, 2) the testmakers probably didn’t fully grasp how important the Internet would become, 3) the test intentionally obscured the keyboard so you had to go by feel, and 4) because of (2), the class was very short despite taking you from knowing no typing to using all the English-language keys. (I just barely passed it IIRC in the 45-ish WPM range.)
On a whim, I decided to pull up a typing test – something I haven’t done in probably 5 years – and tried to see how I could do by simulating the speed of hunt-and-peck. I really tried to make it excruciatingly slow, and it still came out to just under 20 WPM. Next, I tried to see what I could do if I only had my left hand, and it was 35 WPM with 97% accuracy. If you chopped off one of my hands, I could still type 2.7x faster than the average kid in that school’s fourth grade could – bearing in mind that that’s the average, meaning as long as the data is roughly normal, about half of the students fall below even that.
That’s completely insane in a world where this iPad generation almost assuredly has tons of exposure to the QWERTY keyboard layout. It’s just inexcusable, it’s absolutely not the kids’ fault as them doubling their average typing speed after actually being taught to type shows that, and it totally tracks that it’s in Oklahoma.
The students will learn using a mixture of artificial intelligence platforms on their computers and virtual reality headsets.
Suspicions immediately confirmed that the principal is a complete fucking dipshit who just wants to chase whatever trends sound futuristic. What an awful person for putting kids through this garbage.
He actually threw $44 billion at it because he’s a fucking idiot who wanted to manipulate stock prices and then was masterfully forced into the purchase by Twitter’s legal team.
However, yes, he has since been destroying it, likely to the benefit of investors such as the Saudis.
Right? Like they’re trying to equivocate and act like radio waves are this strange thing that science doesn’t quite understand yet, when in reality they’re unbelievably well-understood, and it’d be ridiculous to insinuate that radio waves passing through your body perturb it in any even remotely harmful way. The only reason this study had to exist is because of a bunch of psychotic quacks and grifters who say this kind of thing with zero evidence.
You would get more damaging radiation from the potassium-40 in a single banana than you would spending your entire life immersed in humanity’s ocean of RF waves, and that’s because a radio photon isn’t fucking ionizing.
Not really. In terms of engaging with posts, oh my god, absolutely it’s worse. Twitter and its clones suck when it comes to engaging with things people post (but Mastodon at least makes it a bit better by increasing the character limit). But there’s just something different about following a hashtag versus following a Lemmy community. Like for example, when it comes to getting highly detailed, up-to-the-minute news about things, Mastodon beats Lemmy every time. Additionally, I can see people’s random, one-off takes that wouldn’t really warrant a post on Lemmy.
I would argue too that it’s not even true that you should just be focused on following hashtags, but rather that you should be trying to do both.
To me, Lemmy is the type of place I could kill two hours; for Mastodon, it’s maybe 15 minutes, but that doesn’t make it inferior, just a different use-case. It’s pretty apples-to-oranges.
Silly vegoon, you can’t just invoke obvious facts from 2nd-grade biology and a rudimentary understanding of thermodynamics which would tell you that there are enormous energy losses in converting plant matter to the animal flesh that I eat. I don’t understand either of those subjects, and so that means you haven’t addressed my point. 😡 Now excuse me while I seriously claim that animals are only fed on “waste crops” or whatever while 67% of crops in the US are grown to feed animals and every 3 calories of beef takes 100 calories of grain.
I am very smart and not at all arguing in bad faith.
Just clarifying that animal agriculture in Europe still represents unthinkable cruelty on an unimaginable scale even if specific practices are outlawed there.
I love this idea that veganism is a grift by the big Vitamin B12 supplement industry (???) despite literally zero evidence and in fact evidence to the contrary, unlike the notoriously corrupt and gargantuan animal agriculture industry. God, please be a troll or someone who was out sick when their class learned critical thinking in 3rd grade as well as every single period of science class.
Oh yeah? Name them. Name the specific one. Every single one of these has a statement on potential conflict of interest and/or how it was funded. Go ahead. Tell me.
Hi, Europe! Four years ago, Denmark systematically killed 2.84 minks for every one person living in Denmark.
Oh, and how’s that whole banning live exports thing going? Not at all? Cool!
But to straight telling anyone who eats meat is subhuman is nearly unbearable annoying of you.
Boy, that’s an absolute hell of a strawman. I’m deeply comforted that this is the sort of sound, rational thinker that the LW administration thinks should be kept on-board.
Oh god, oh fuck, we need to get the word out to these highly educated nutritional scientists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, pulmonologists, oncologists, bariatricians, and nephrologists that “it’s the opposite, actually” as soon as possible. I’ll bet they’ll feel like idiots when they need to retract the dozens of meta-analyses and systemic reviews they’ve meticulously authored both showing that plant-based diets tend to be healthier than omnivorous ones and giving explanations for why.
I thought it over, and I’ve decided that from now on, I’ll only be getting my meat from Elwood’s. They’re stock animals, so I don’t have to worry about harming pets anymore.
Quick, someone post “Cascade” from Homestuck and bring down the entire fediverse.
True. I believe B12 is the other big one, although that is trivially supplemented to my recollection.
Cats need meat or they don’t
And yet this binary assumption that you’re taking completely for granted for some reason is fundamentally flawed. Cats need amino acids from meat that they cannot produce themselves. The scientific research being conducted is over whether these amino acids can be artificially produced and vegan cat food fortified with them in such a way that the cats can properly absorb them. If yes, then voila, you have healthful vegan cat food.
Robot clearly never watched the ending of Fallout 3 about letting the humans do it instead.
