You're missing out, unless the concept isn't your thing after all.

Your contempt for an account you cannot be bothered to block is highly amusing.

Virtual Classrooms were the first thing we tried and realized it wasn't for us. We dropped it within a few weeks. I can't imagine spending any significant amount of time stuck with such a finicky and un-reliable medium.
"Look at it wrong and it breaks" is very apt in that situation; All the while they are "taking attendance", and none of the lessons were available for later viewing. Our kids learned more from going through stacks of worksheets* with our help, reading, and just spending time with us as we went about whatever errands.
*worksheets were over 95% of the Virtual Classroom work anyways. The rest was art and poorly thought-out "expiriments", with the occassional form-letter/one-paragraph-a-week "essay". Not even book reports or recommended reading!

Why do you think "many" come to you with all of these skills? Home-schooling is more common than ever. Most homeschoolers we met were also restricted to older or no tech... Even no tech seems to be better than consumption focused devices.

That's how we handled it when we home-schooled the older three for a while. They ultimately asked to go back to regular school, but they had stayed ahead of their peers.

I almost clarified "in external form", but you've really hit the nail on the head.

Joke's on you; Almost all of the personalized links whatever app/sites generate for me to share are invalid until I delete massive chunks of them!
As a result, I anonymize all of them just so I can share stories about random bullshit.

Congrats on making me want to pull my youngest from public school for a year or so, so I can teach her typing, scripting, the command line, etc ... (also, phonics) ... Blows my mind that TYPING as a late-elementary-school glass is basically gone in our school district, nor is it a class that's even available in middle or high-school.

I'm in this comment, and I don't like it. I still fix "computers" for a living, but when I get home, most days, the last tech I want to interact with is anything more complex than my phone.

Let's hope you're right.
It does seem like some out-of-left-field weaksauce to me, but the absurdity is part of the populist newspeak playbook that has been disturbingly successful over the last decade or so.

The concept of victims not understanding justice strikes me as very disingenuous. Its not their understanding of our concept of climate justice that entitles them to assistance, recompense, and yes, to the extent possible, ensuring that those who are responsible for these disasters are the ones footing the bill.

Narrative-wise, they become no longer Palastenians, but Saudis who are disobeying their King/Prince. It does NOT change anything for the better.

Oh, it WAS funny. I wasn't one of the downvotes. You didn't have to be loud and obnoxious, but I appreciate you for taking those downvotes, and painting a concise picture.

Yes, and that's why those in power are using this moment to try to sell us on this story, and it's chances of success.

You're not getting downvoted by the anti-helmet crowd, promise. You're getting downvoted for the same reason I'll ever tell my kids to shut-up; Being right doesn't mean you have to be loud and obnoxious.

You're splitting hairs on the difference between violating a country's territory and threatening its existance, and since you need it spelled out, they aren't just any nuke-holding country. They are one of a few that has the capability to wipe all life on earth even if their targets never returned fire, but please, do go on about how going gloves-off at them "by proxy" is such a great idea.
You'll have better luck convincing Russia to back down by diplomatic means than you will convincing NATO to do what you are suggesting. That's how stupid of an idea it is.

Social Credit is real, yo. Particularly, networking with people who have the discretionary funds to spend on expensive equipment.

Yes, invading a nuke-holding country is the best way to win a war. JFC
