How do you prove if a student has learned something?

Without tests, by what metric will you measure student success?

Also, what admin need to get out of the way?

A huge chunk of public school district funds come from local taxes. So the union wants everyone in town to go demand a tax increase, which is one of the reasons why public schools are always underfunded.

The white faced guy in this scene is super comedic and hams it up. It comes off as pure comedy.

GPT-4 is great, I'm already using it to help make my work as a software engineer much easier. I don't think I've been disappointed with an answer I've gotten back yet, even when asking random social questions. Every response I've gotten matches a high-quality stackoverflow post tbh

Haven't tried asking it very casual / silly questions though

TotK purchases will benefit Saudi Arabia. We can't pass on some childish elf game to not give our money to the funding of anti-woman and anti-LGBTQ human rights abuses?

A "state" to a communist is something different than "government," so there could absolutely be corruption in a communist society.

Both.
Government is inherently prone to corruption. Regardless of fundamentals.

I really dug it. One thing I specifically like about Tarantino is how grotesque his violence is: it's much more off-putting than your standard action film.

For how long?

It's not really baffling, it's a nerd community that's finally found "Acceptance" in something being mainstream. Nerds always get super defensive.

Which is why everyone knows those movies, right?
Like what are you even trying to say here? I don't give a fuck about how Disney feels about shit. They're putting my people on the forefront on the big screen and that's a good thing. Why should I give a fuck that they're doing it to make money? Everything every company fucking does is to make money. So what?

Representation matter, for example I complained about the poor representation matters. Like besides Nope and that Beast movie, I can't think of a movie headlined by an Straight Black male. You don't think that gets to people after a while

are you using two accounts, because that was my response to PowerfulSageIRL.

and my argument was based on the tweet I was replying to.

and?

I never said there couldn't be conflicting views within a demographic.

like, using Black Panther (the first movie), as an example, it was an overwhelming success, with many black people enjoying a big budget movie with a mostly black cast and African inspired themes in the forefront.

however, there were also a good amount of black people who felt it was pandering to them, with Wakanda being this super advanced, yet fictional nation, when there were other stories that could have been told.

not everyone is going to appreciate everything, but if representation resonates with more people than less, it might be the best balance of inclusivity and marketing.

if you say so, but if your criticism is that this character is black, or your character is gay, for example, then I don't see our views aligning.

no one said they were...?

from my experience, bad faith conservatives often use the left-wing arguments to criticize stuff like this when their claims of "politics", "wokeness", "agendas", and so forth fall flat.

IMO, all that really matters is whether demographic(s) represented/targeted feel appreciate the inclusion or feel pandered to.

personally, I don't care who Disney, Netflix, etc. cast for their projects, but there are those who complain about every little bit of representation that happens, and belittle people who do care.

I think youre vastly overestimating the current capabilities of automation for the majority of existing jobs. The discussion of automating trucks has been seriously going on for at least a decade and were probably at least another decade or more away from a realistic rollout of automated semi trucks in a meaningful manner.

I believe if humanity were to eliminate the need to sleep companies would demand you take whatever treatment is necessary to remove the need to sleep if you want to keep your job then make you work 14 hour days.

Because this is one of the instances where it actually would be socialism to make the change and not the sort of bible-thumpy nonsense that conservatives screak about to their children as a horror story. Most of the civilized world has shown unequivocally that decreasing the work-week improves literally everything but as the US is explicitly conservative in nature we only have eyes on increasing the man-hours worked.
