I've seen half the shows listed and they're all pretty decent. And this is from someone who just cycles one subscription and watches whatever looks interesting on the current subscription.

I wish Station Eleven was longer :(

I wanted to see that world explored a little longer.

Man, I remember a couple teachers that encouraged randomly asking questions like that, and the whole class was really engaged. It was very rare but an amazing environment to learn in. I feel bad that there's so many people that never got to have those sort of teachers.

They would probably be more likely to stare at their phones instead of learning if they did.

I do think that having students sit at desks for hours at a time is not an effective way of teaching. Giving students different ways of learning is beneficial and more likely to motivate them. But that usually is more work and more expensive to do.

In an ideal world, every student would have an individualized, self paced learning program with a dedicated teacher. Unfortunately, that's not the case for nearly any student.

If schools only focused on what students were motivated to learn, I'm not sure schools would really be accomplishing much. Not to say that schools shouldn't foster motivation in students. Just that technology, especially social media, is very effective at distracting people.

Depends on how you're accessing lemmy. There's a button on lemmy websites if your instance's admin has allowed it.

Don't think so, easier to request someone on the other instance to create it for you.

You were not an asshole for saying thanks dude, but your comment after their reaction made you an asshole then. Your coworker's reaction was pretty strong though. Have you had issues with them before? I would try to apologize to them when you get a chance, maybe bring some coffee and donuts as consolation if you really wanna mend things.

Don't forget to do so in the alternate realities you discover too 😄

Is that from the deltarpms? It's a pretty common problem with them. You can disable deltarpms if you don't mind installing the full package by default. Though if you're concerned about the cost of the data, deltarpms are probably exactly what you want 🫤

Maybe from genetic testing companies that sell that to data brokers, which a car company could enrich your personal information with?

Doing better than me. Sounds like a great life. Rating chips, chilling on the couch. Making a small but hopefully wholesome living in some corner of the world he calls home. Being known as the chip guy for a while until history fades in the way it always does.
