Trust me it's totally worth it, especially if you get into politics. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1994 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┐ ║ @user-1123 │ ║ │ ║ hi nice to meet you let me just transfer my unencoded public key to you so that │ ║ you can sign it and verify that it's definitely the same thing I intended to │ ║ send and not a malicious package that plans to execute itself to executable │ ║ space and permanently hardwire your machine to continually feed data to an │ ║ external site, no siree just a regular ordinary public key that was transferred │ ║ over the internet, that place that basically guarantees a man-in-the-middle via │ ║ it's communication processes over the lines and cables connecting ye to thee │ ║ which are naturally administered and watched over by your host, AKA the isp. │ ║ │ ║ ... but yeah trust me bro plug in this flash drive, there's no way that a │ ║ secret hacker might install a rootkit or something on my computer just because │ ║ I plugged in a flash drive, once, literally just a nugget of information │ ║ carried upon a little machine that you can fit in your pocket roughly the size │ ║ of a thumb) drive, the kind that is useful for transmitting information by │ ║ sneakermail. :) │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1995 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── https://v.redd.it/tq6dkxtj098d1 haha well ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1996 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── I don't expect or demand anything from teenagers except perhaps "be a cool kid" and "learn all that you can" Even most adults when they mess up I just think "ah, well, they're trying their hardest, same as anyone" And tbh I'd rather see a kid running up and down the aisles than burying themselves in an ipad I think we, as a culture, built our society to demand too many "should"s from people. "I should get a job" "I should study this thing I'm not interested in so I can make more money" "I should put out traps for the rabid wolverines so they don't start hanging out in my underwear" "I should pick up detergent at the grocery store" Should is useless. Do; or do not. There is no should. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1997 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌───────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: cursing-mentioned │ │ ║ └───────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ A teacher should help students learn, and perhaps guide them toward learning │ ║ things that are broadly applicable instead of specifically applicable. │ ║ │ ║ For example, let's say a kid wants to do a project and present their findings │ ║ about various types of pokemon and their match-up strength against various gym │ ║ leaders or whatever.
