Like I said, it doesnโ€™t consistently work with Proctorio. I was lucky last time I tried Edge that my teacher let me retake in Chrome because Proctorio crashed in the middle of an exam and forced me out of the exam window

If youโ€™re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

What? Spanish is being taught in American schools because itโ€™s the second most spoken language in the nation. We donโ€™t have a national language in this country, despite what MAGA might try to make you believe.

Threads and articles โ‰  peer-reviewed research. Again, grow up. Youโ€™re exhausting, so Iโ€™m blocking you. Have fun crying about how you need a girl to put you first 100% of the time cause you canโ€™t be bothered to wipe your own ass and make your own food tho.

Imagine trying to use AI to make a point ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ AI will literally say anything you ask it to, and the information that it gives is often wildly inaccurate. Grow up and learn how to do actual research.

If my spouse left because I put our child first, Iโ€™d help them pack ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ you have a very juvenile view of relationships. Unsurprising that youโ€™re single, hope you stay that way, bestie ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป

Both parents should be prioritizing the children over the partnerโ€ฆ theyโ€™re children. If you leave them alone, they die. The same is not true for adults. If you donโ€™t want your partner prioritizing a child over you, maybe donโ€™t make a child.

Back then it really came down to monetary distribution. White schools were better schools because they got money from the government to be better, to have up-to-date textbooks and teaching tools, while black schools were mainly maintained by the community members and often had to do without

They/them were singular pronouns long before they were pluralized. Furthermore, I promise you use them to refer to a singular person more often than you realize. โ€œOh, someone lost their umbrella, hope they find itโ€ rolls better than โ€œsomeone lost his or her umbrella, hope he or she finds itโ€

Project 2025 isn't being vague when it states that eliminating the VA in its entirety is the goal.

Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Itโ€™s doorstopper-size has intimidated me til now, and Iโ€™m mad about it because this book is positively delightful

I use Firefox as my default browser for non-Proctorio or panapto things (another school thing, where my teachers post video lectures for online classes for the stuff they donโ€™t have on campus), but I still hate that I have to use google chrome pretty much every single day

I wish we had the time. Heโ€™s military and in school, works 12 hour shifts, and Iโ€™m a full time student and freelance online work, so our free time adds up to a whopping hour, maybe 2 if weโ€™re lucky ๐Ÿฅฒ weโ€™re too old for this shit.

Iโ€™m struggling with letting Google go mainly cause of Chrome. Itโ€™s a shitty browser, but itโ€™s the only one that works consistently with Proctorio, which I need to complete my degree. Iโ€™ve tried Microsoft Edge, Opera, Firefox, Safari, none of them run Proctorio properly and it pisses me off :/

Grocery prices are so bad that my husband and I are back to eating like we did when we worked minimum wage jobs as teens. Ramen noodles, canned soup, and frozen meals, because we canโ€™t fucking afford real food.

Sheโ€™s not indie, but she is absolutely fantastic, Kalynn Bayron! One of my all time favorite YA writers!

Very simply, they donโ€™t care about all children, only rich children. I grew up poor and remember when our school finally instituted free lunch. I remember some parents protesting outside our school about how if our parents couldnโ€™t afford to feed us they should have killed us in the cradle

This right here is why Iโ€™ve been a loud advocate for physical media. You donโ€™t own digital media, youโ€™re paying a price for access to it until the company you purchased access from decides you donโ€™t get to have it anymore. Fight the power, buy physical media!!

Partly yes, partly no. Remember it was admitted on live television that Elon helped to rig this election. Trump has never fought fairly, and while there were people who voted for him, I wonder just how many of those votes were legitimate

Pfft I wish. When there ARE eggs in our stores here in Florida, the cheap eggs I could buy for $2 a dozen 4 months ago are currently $6 and the fancy eggs I was treating myself with that were $4 a dozen are up to $16.
