I keep seeing posts about how people are starting to talk more like AI probably due to how often the average person goes to AI for all their social drama. And I don't think that's totally a bad thing because it would be really nice if people owned up to their lies the way Claude does with a 5 paragraph apology essay about how it was wrong to make up random statistics while citing an article about breadsticks.

@dissidentwest I throw away my freedom to ask one guard what the other guard would say about tylenol causing autism

You are a prisoner in a room with 2 doors and 2 guards. Only one of the doors will guide you to freedom. One of the guards always tells the truth, the other always lies. You don't know which is which. You can only ask one question to find the right door. What do you ask?

@F0ODHub Well according to some the whole thing is ruined if you can't have a coke with it

Coke’s unavailable.. what drink would you order with this..

@WinterBornn @grok And then you'll go to a doctor and they'll just perscribe you mega doses of artery clogging calcium

Hey @grok, is this actually true? 🧐

@WittyEchoes Because then the kid comes up with some crazy ass reasoning as a counter and you end up going back and forth

Why do parents say "because I said so" instead of explaining their reasoning?

@dissidentwest Give Vietnamese coffee a try and report back lmao

Convinced that coffee is a placebo. I can drink 2 cups back to back and feel nothing, but if I take an excedrin too late in the day I can’t go to sleep that night.

I have a feeling if food stamps were tied to their kid's absentee rates then suddenly changing consumer habits would shift

@greg16676935420 Nah there'd be some smelly redditor throuple to take them in

I just checked the current population and got sad it’s an odd number because that means if everyone found someone there’d be one person left alone

We don't teach math the way Singapore does. And our proficiency has only gone down, widening the difference between us and Singapore. Common core's math doesn't have a philosophy like it does with ELA. It just says kids should be able to do x y and z by a certain age and standardized testing will verify if they are. From there districts go to a marketplace for their curriculums where publishers provide them with their own data on how effective they are and how they're common core aligned. Basically just using their massive sales budget to push curriculum onto districts. Common core has really nothing to do with Singapore.

@v0bies @MichelleMaxwell Should look at how top nations teach math! So Common Core DID! It looks like modelling like with STEM or Singapore #1 for years.

I remember when California tried to implement Common Core and I told my girls, Heck no! We are doing it old school. Common Core was purposeful to dumb kids down by frustrating them. Who else believes in the adage if it ain’t broke don’t fix it?

Youre right that locals need to take more charge seeing as right now teachers unions are basically deciding who gets elected to school boards then everyone who didn't vote acts all surprised when their values don't actually represent the locals. And on top of that cities are majority blue voters One part of the state votes for the whole state and then we end up with legislation mandating LGBT curriculums in all subjects even in areas where the majority is against it. Aside from all that the foundation of common core is broken. My whole point was schools try to be compliant with common core aligned curriculums but the framework of common core is based on one mans broken idea of how kids learn. With my bigger point being states that decided to not completely adhere to David Coleman's philosophy are succeeding and states that do adhere are failing.

@v0bies @MichelleMaxwell States define what to teach. Locals & textbooks define classwork & how to teach. The lack of quality & aligned books with state standards kept the scores low. Even Reagan told locals & states to take charge, but locals prefer to blame others instead!

Sounds nice but we let a guy with no background as an educator base our educational system off his own philosophical manifesto where he then reaped millions as a reward. David Coleman's close reading is a failure that's not evidence based. It's why you see states that run counter to his philosophy succeed. If any of his ideas worked we'd have a curriculum that increased our NAEP scores instead of stagnation and decline in states that stuck true to his ideas of close reading. What we have is school to work and the lowest proficiency rates since the NAEP began.

@v0bies @MichelleMaxwell Common Core Students: -demonstrate independence -build strong content knowledge -respond to the varying demands of audience, task, -purpose & discipline -comprehend as well as critique -value evidence -come to understand other perspectives & cultures

@dissidentwest I forgot that part of covid where we were testing our busses

@fairiehaze I can't remember, this random lady I talked to a few years ago told me her daughter's name and it was so cute I told myself my next daughter would be named that. And now I can't remember it and I think about that a lot.

what's the prettiest name you've ever heard?

What even is a silent alarm, you can't convince me you didn't just fat finger your volume settings. Sorry

@ontheflipsiide This is why I'm a big advocate for full time work from home. Working in a corporate office, I constantly have to listen to my co workers try to out do each other with who has the most self diagnosed mental illness. We literally have a designated crying room.

the most larped mental illnesses/disorders 1. anorexia 2. depression 3. bpd 4. ADHD 5. autism 6. OCD 7. anxiety

Every year this will get worse for teachers because parents who do care will find ways to get their kids out of public schools.

Hey my kids literally have no less fun at the park than I did as a kid. Plus they won't have pain from old breaks when they're older. I don't get the objection lol. Its like trampolines, just putting a net around them would stop a big chunk of the 100k ER visits every year. Still just as fun. I'm not about to put a helmet on my kid I know injuries happen but you're weird if you don't consider the cost vs benefit.

@v0bies @BuzzPatterson Good grief.

I’m a Boomer. We did this and it was completely normal. No helmets, no safety zones, just childhood! Nobody cared. I wouldn’t change a day! Then, we introduced a generation of parachute parents who want to trans their kids. They missed out.

@dissidentwest Good point, maybe that's why they're also always excited about those free Amazon gift card links in their bios

@v0bies Part of the reason why it seems have increased lately is probably due to a rise in bots, but also people are just getting dumber.

Have you guys noticed more often lately where you'll watch a video about something informational and then you'll read the comments and it's really obvious most people just latched onto the keywords they heard and came to incorrect conclusions about what the video was about and then confidently posted their opinions? Has it always been like this or is it suddenly getting worse?
