    So I was a kid who was goofy and hung out with gamer kids. One LAN party the kids from the other high school showed up and we went for a drive.

    I had no idea it was going to happen, but one kid had a handgun and shot out from the moving car window in a residential neighborhood without any warning.

    I probably would have taken my parents up on the offer to bail if I had a code word to do it, but I wasnt about to call my daddy in a car with an unstable kid with a gun to say im scared come get me.

    Tldr its a good thing don’t shit on it.













  • As someone in education i would bet money that since it is a vocabulary word with a simple definition in a subject that is hard to teach, it is included to make things easier on the teachers and students. Mind you easier isnt often a good thing, and in this case I’d say its lazy and irresponsible to focus on things that don’t scaffold well or have much practical use







  • Hey let’s not be pessimistic. Based on the current societal trajectory we might be living in the best period of history, end of the 20th, beginning of the 21st centuries. We had an amazing life with access to awesome technology for personal use that we didn’t have to lease. We weren’t under 247 surveillance by corporations. A brief period of technological freedom for a smallish group of humans before we went to corporations authoritarian hell.
