I moved from the south to Minnesota in recent years and will never move back. The winters aren’t too bad after the first. Finding a knowledgeable local is pretty easy plus the Internet can fill in the gaps.

It’s about damn time. The difference between Hillary’s meme attempts and Walz’s is crazy. I’m not sure who handled them, whether it was the candidate or a team for each, but Walz’s are so much better it’s insane. Chillin in cedar rapids and Pokemon go were so hard to watch. I know an election like this so much more than that, but get with the times if you rely on a younger voting pool. Walz’s reminds me of Biden VP memes to a certain extent. Maybe more timeless and less fad based. Not sure but seems much more genuine this time.

There was a feature I had on android several years ago where you could limit notification sounds by time. You could pick from 1 to like 10 minutes. The first one would ping you and the rest for that timeframe would be silent notifications until the timeframe ended and treated the next one like normal.

Edit: still a feature on the texting app I use, Textra. I like their features so much I paid for it and keep reverting back when trying stock or anything else. I’m sure there’s some big flaw I don’t know about since it’s an old SMS app though.

I was also wondering but it makes perfect sense now :)

If I miss a part on commentary, I lose out on the video explanation. If I miss part of the movie, why the hell are these people trying to kill each other. Different levels of impact where rewinding just a few minutes and not going back to the beginning for exposition and reparsing it all back together.

Thanks for backing me up

While I agree, the amount of productivity that’s increased since the 5 day work week was established has made it reasonable to once again change the norm. That, or pay workers equivalent to the increase in productivity that has happened. It’s all going somewhere.

My SO upgraded to a Ryzen 5600 and 6600 GPU from a 1050TI and some integrated old CPU and saw massive improvements for BG3. I don’t know the integrated CPU but I think that made the difference for this game. Loading in went from crashes or naked people to no issue at all.

I gifted that card to my SO mid scalping days to relieve their integrated CPU some work and it held the entire time (3 years). They got a great deal on a CPU and GPU and accessories for like 400 USD this year. Ryzen 5600 and the AMD equivalent of a 3060 (6600?) and with some PC building tools on top of it. BG3 went from a mess at act 3 to buttery smooth. i think it went from low to high settings as well. Great card all in all. The CPU made the difference in this case (I think).

This exactly demonstrates my mindset.

I guess that’s another suspect of eating away people’s time. If university takes more than 8 hours then it is also in question. If people want to be subjected to work outside of their 8 hour window, they should be allowed. Forcing this is crazy.

I very much enjoy sports but I don’t think education and preparation should be displaced by playing a game for entertainment. School is for learning. Maybe there should be a trade school for sports that happens later or is auxillary to normal education.

This was my first thought. Teachers definitely need time to assess outside of class time. I would think that assessment or grading would happen while they aren’t teaching. There should be a system where teachers grade outside of teaching time or during “homework/study hall” time. You would teach math for 6 hours and grade math for 2 or some breakdown that makes sense. I don’t want to make teachers work anymore than they already do. The current system doesn’t seem to respect them either way.

I’m pretty familiar with the farming aspect of all of this, but clearly we are way beyond needing children for farming (except for some child labor law changes that I’d like to ignore in this case). To me, it sounds like a legacy issue that was never changed with the times. Just my observation

As a straight, I agree. I think my partner and I are okay. A good reality check periodically won’t hurt us though.

Works on connect for Android.

I think the issue with the downvotes is because you said that slaves could just run away. It comes across like you are simplifying the problem. I don’t want to assume that’s what was intended, it just doesn’t come across well. And, you are correct that modern times still have similar corruption. I just hope society on average understands why it’s not okay compared to back then.

At least howler monkeys know when to shut up

I absolutely see your point and agree with you. The unfortunate part is that by the time these kids graduate from highschool they have been indoctrinated. The ones I would be the most worried about aren’t going to college anyways. There should be sanctions from the rest of the country that discourages people from moving there in the first place. Sanctions that discourage having kids there. If you want a family with children then get the fuck out. Help those people get the fuck out. You’re right that we need to undoctrinate the older ones. That won’t be as affective as just stopping people going there in the first place.

Yeah those runaways that were caught were either killed or made an example of with public torture. Runaways decided that between existing in slavery, being killed on the spot, being tortured, or maybe getting away was worth the risk. It was that bad that they risked everything. I can only imagine the bravery that was needed to decide.
