BBC did, but it’s seemingly inactive now.

I know that, I just didn’t think they’d go as far as to make a sliding scale of punishing wages for teachers who don’t comply.

Wow, that’s disgraceful.

Funny how much “Agenda47” sounds similar to “Project2025”…

Also, “Merit Based Pay”?! AFAIK there is currently a teacher shortage and this dumbass thinks people are going to abide by a, no doubt, asinine rulebook to make a crappy wage in relation to the schooling required?

The Exit Polls that were a verbal conversation upon leaving might not be accurate if they are asking women in front of their partners, right?

I’m not USian, so IDK how those polls work. I’m just dismayed that that many women would vote for a pedo rapist who took away their bodily autonomy.

I only found this out the other night because my fridge went dead silent for a long time. I thought it was borked, so I was peering deep into the freezer when I saw The Gates of Hell through the grate.

(Okay, so full disclosure, I had smoked some pot, but it totally looked like when Dana opened the fridge to Zuul before she was The Gatekeeper.) 😱😱😱

Anyways, turns out it was in defrost mode (which happens twice a day), and that involves some elements going orange or something. I know that’s vague-- I looked it up, but as I mentioned, I was high, so I only kinda remember, lol.

Edit:

The refrigerator activates a heating element located near the evaporator coil. This element warms the coils, causing any ice buildup to melt.

That makes it look all Loony Toons :S

Oh yay, I get to post the new image I found the other day!

Image: Cartoon woman smiling, wearing headphones. Labelled “YOU”.

Man smiling, bent over in background with tube up butthole that leads to headphones. Labeled: The Joe Rogan Experience.

I’m learning Polish, and spelling (rz dz sz cz ł and ą ę ż ś) is all fine for me-- the thing I struggle with is the grammatical cases. The fact that the ending of everything changes is what has caused me to give up twice 🥺

I will pick it up again, but I sucked at the Masculine/Feminine thing with French, and this is a lot more difficult.

CAT:

• KOT
• KOTA
• KOTU
• KOTEM
• KOCIE <— (This is where I quit: Locative case took the T away WTF?!)

Przepraszam moja drogi!!

Huzzah!

If it’s on-loan, sure.

But this was straight up thievery.

Global News is a terrible sensationalist rag. I’m sorry it’s managed to fester outside of Canada.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear the Meterologist on the video in that article specifically explain warming oceans from carbon are causing the increased frequency/intensity.

Sorry, I don’t know what that means, I don’t have Tiktok. I’m talking about the whole article being vapid, just multiple paragraphs that are lists of apps:

It could be Class Dojo, Brightwheel, Bloomz, or TalkingPoints. It could be ClassLink, SchoolStatus, or PowerSchool.

Is it like brand name dropping to keep people’s attention or something?

I stopped reading the article after it just became a list of apps. Felt like a thinly veiled ad, and if not, annoying af.

Your comment reminded me:

I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.

I’m just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.

Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.

It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.

I never seriously used Twitter, but aren’t hashtags for indexing and search? Kinda need them there unless you enjoy screaming into the abyss, no?

In Poland, some people put fruit juice in their beer (piwo z sokiem), and it is fucking delicious
