I disagree. The US is ultimately responsible and should pay everyone else. The US has enabled Israel, its attack dog, to torture everyone in the region. Without the US, Israel would have had to adopt a different attitude towards its neighbors if it planned on surviving in West Asia.

From the article: "While teachers may be intending for these tools to be strictly educational, students often have different ideas. According to a 2014 study, which surveyed and observed 3,000 university students, students engaged in off-task activities on their computers nearly two-thirds of the time.

Horvath blamed this tendency to get off-track as a key contributor to technology hindering learning. When one’s attention is interrupted, it takes time to refocus. Task-switching also is associated with weaker memory formation and greater rates of error. Grappling with a challenging singular subject matter is hard, Horvath said. For the best learning to happen, it’s supposed to be."

The technology encourages task switching, which is detrimental in situations where one is supposed to focus on a single challenging task in order to optimize learning. So in this case, I’d say it’s the technology itself that is unsuitable for the task at hand. Clacking keys is fine, I went to university in the late nineties and computers were already an important part of my education. But I didn’t have access to the internet on a powerful pocketable device during lectures. The computers were in the computer rooms.

Well done, you sure told me buddy, good job! Not weak and pathetic at all.

“Your type”? What type is that? Chinese plant? And I “simp for billionaires”? Are you high? Lol, I have no idea what you’re on about, but you don’t seem to feel well, get better.

I didn’t even criticize your going after China. That’s fine, argue your point, convince me. What I criticized was a reflexive turn to calling people bots and plants as soon as they don’t agree with your point. That is whiny, and comes from weakness. You won’t change anyone’s mind with that whiny garbage, you’ll just get pats on the back from those who already agree with you. Going for those pats instead of actually arguing your point shows that you’re weak, and not a good proponent of anti-chinese views. Grow up and read a little. This can be a platform for exchanging ideas and teaching/learning, instead of just attacking anyone who disagrees even slightly.

You yourself seem to have a weird hard-on for bringing up Uighurs arbitrarily when it has zero to do with the subject of the post. Perhaps then you shouldn’t throw stones in your glass house and accuse others of waiting to arbitrarily pounce on the word “Xin Jiang”, when you obviously do the same thing for the word “China”.

Argue your point instead of automatically assuming everyone who doesn’t agree with you is a Chinese plant. That just makes you look whiny and weak, and brings no one around to your standpoint.

Is everyone really advocating for some substack CEO to start deplatforming people based on ideology? How quickly do you reckon that will be weaponized to deplatform any anti-zionist content? I’d take an ‘open for all’ framework over arbitrary deplatforming based on ideology every day of the week. Particularly considering the ‘new definition’ of anti-Semitism being adopted everywhere that equates most criticism of the state of Israel with anti-Semitism.

It’s a masterpiece for sure. But it’s also objectively terrible in the most literal sense, in that it will scar you in a way that you’ll carry with you forever.

Yeah, these genociders are independent thinkers with morals, unlike those genociders who are the actual trash. I’m sure the mothers of murdered Palestinian children will be comforted by the fact that their children were slaughtered by moral and thinking genociders.

Some shit stinks less than other shit. Still shit though, so good riddance.

You seem to have a particularly bigoted view of Asian women that you seem to have found an outlet for in this thread hiding behind people’s anger at this murder. But there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of daylight between this racist murderer’s attitude towards immigrants and your attitude towards Asian women. “Such women cling so much”? You wish buddy. Despicable.

You think that the military was more restrained in Iraq than ICE is in the US? Really? We all know the name of this murderer, his victim’s name, how it all happened from several angles and so on. There were hundreds of thousands of victims of the US military in Iraq. How many of those murderers can you name, along with how they killed and the names of their victims? It’s amazing that even after scandals and atrocities like Abu Ghraib, people can utter nonsense like this. The military completely destroyed a civilisation in Iraq, but the suffering of Americans at the hands of ICE is somehow worse?

Where I am (Europe), I haven’t seen a single article calling this what it clearly is. Maduro is just a captive in every article, never a hostage. But they have no issue calling an Israeli pow a hostage despite him being taken from his damn tank in occupied territory. The west has become a total and very visible clown show, and I don’t think changing Trump to the next Obama can do a lot to change that perception internationally. Specially Europe has shown itself to be a particularly pathetic entity with very little independence from ‘daddy’ Trump.

I wonder how and when narco-trafficing becomes narco-terrorism. Presumably they’d have to explain that distinction in the kangaroo court?

Rachel Dratch is one of the funniest sketch comedians of all time imo. She’s a treasure, I miss her Debbie Downer so much.

Mentioning Tiananmen Square, an example of internal repression with a couple of hundreds to a couple of thousands estimated fatalities, in the same sentence as two cases of near complete genocides of other ethnicities is wild. Do you not see how distorted that is as a comparison? In that comparison, you’re either trying to minimize the genocides of the Nazis, the Americans and the Turks, or raise the level of a case of internal repression with limited casualties to be comparable to massive historical crimes against humanity. Neither makes you look great.
