No, you’re not listening. I am a teacher. Peers in my field tell students not to trust the information in Wikipedia articles because they are inaccurate since anyone can edit them. They are teaching a mistrust of Wikipedia solely because anyone can edit them. This has NOTHING, again, NOTHING to do with sourcing an academic paper.

That was me. Teachers tell students “it can’t be trusted because literally anyone can edit it.” Nothing to do with sources. Tech illiterate people or people manipulated by right wing media believe that Wikipedia has bad information

Nobody here ever said it can be used as a source

See the thing is tons of exhausted teachers just keep teaching the same shit every year; many of them teach the stuff they learned when they were in school. So a crazy number of them do in fact still teach kids that Wikipedia can’t be trusted because anyone can edit it

What sucks the most is this is win-win for conservatives. Dismantle and erode trust in the government, job is either taken up by private entity stealing government dollars, or by putting more work on individuals who will not get more pay for doing the work

All you said is probably accurate, but this one little dip was probably unrelated. It’s already back up to where it was.

I thought the email explanation would help, but I’ve learned that the vast majority of people had someone help them make an email once a long ass time ago and haven’t thought about it since. They maybe made a second one when they needed a serious job and were afraid everyone would judge SmokerToker69.

I love the grouped comments. I scroll through the comments on once instance, then I reach the next one and you can genuinely see the shift in priorities between communities. It’s pretty cool

And I’m pretty sure our heavy capitalist model is the main reason

While the coastguard was clear that they didn’t mean the bananas

this does not include perishable goods like foodstuffs.

everyone here IS following maritime salvage law.

The “long established” rule is: the owner has all rights to the cargo and wreck, but must compensate those who assist in recovery only if the owner agrees to assistance

The British maritime law that keeps getting referenced here was put into place initially to ensure that people would be compensated completely when assisting.

Previously, when it was a raw ‘handshake’ agreement, there would be negotiations before helping which delayed assistance, or Party A would screw over Party B with a low-ball reward, or Party B would just nope out of the situation for fear of not getting reimbursed and risk of damaging their own property.

The shipping company in this situation asked for assistance and sent a list of missing stuff, especially since they were threatened with penalties for creating a hazardous waterway. If you find missing stuff, you report it, and the government knows already how much you should be compensated and makes sure you get it. In this case, the company wants their expensive refrigeration equipment.

I have no idea if they offer a reasonable amount, but this was the intent.

Did you go through settings and really personalize it? To me, that was gold.

Dastardly Dave

I left about a decade ago. Best decision of my life.

“allow” them to unionize haha. They’re not going to do that.

Just like his robots at that party and his taxis, the feels so much like he just has people doing the work and pretending to be AI.

One of mine is in high school, and as much as I hate the confirming culture, especially because it’s led by morons and marketing, I choose the same path. I allowed my (now high school kid) to participate in all the awful crap that I would never do myself when she felt middle school pressure. She was in the popular kids group.

The caveat has been it all comes with extreme education from my end. Not demeaning or condescending. I over-preach about marketing/ads/influencers and constantly question why people make the choices they do. I question everything though. “How do you know that?” often leads back to tick tock.

In my experience, the OTHER kids are now getting smarter as they age. Mine is now able to live her life how she wants and is still with that same group , and the kids (I shit you not) look to her for purchasing advice. The vanity kinda goes away as their brains leave that dumb social hierarchy age.

Note: My kids are/were decked out in Nike. We live by the world headquarters and a good chunk of the kids’ parents work there. If that isn’t peer pressure, I dunno what is!
