@theartguy True enough; I guess I just see a lot more people talking about it (and their preference for comprehension-based testing) these days.

@theartguy I wish NCLB hadn't repopularized the memorization-based testing paradigm. "It doesn't matter whether you understand the material as long as you know the right answer to plug in." :/

@Elizafox @NeonArcadia :o

@maloki @staticsafe :o IT ME

I actually can't run a server over my home internet; my provider doesn't allow me to run servers over my connection. (They're trying to protect me from data-cap overages!)

As a user, Mastodon is as slow as any other site over satellite. Disabling auto-playing GIFs/videos helps a lot, but there's a lot of data overhead, because of the way Mastodon loads images. I have to avoid the LTL; the FTL is a DISASTER to my data cap.

@clar @Elizafox @literallyfenic saying "intelligence is fictitious" without qualification leads to situations where people who genuinely struggle with learning, memory retention, etc. don't get the help they need and ask for because "you just need to try harder". (I have witnessed this firsthand and it's awful, especially when you don't know how to offer the help yourself.)

@literallyfenic @Elizafox @clar while I appreciate where you're going with this, a blanket statement like "the concept of intelligence is fictitious" both is wrong and leads to ableist situations. Better to say that a) IQ is biased and not a good measure, b) what we think of as "intelligence" is a set of loosely-coupled qualities that do differ from person to person, and c) judging people's value based on those qualities is wrong.

HAN: "Don't worry, I've got this all under control!"

NARRATOR: "He didn't."

@salameleon @Ulfra_Wolfe @Sapphaos tomorrow, jack tweets: "after long consideration we're rebranding as Cishetter"

"Please enjoy our new logo" which is a rainbow flag with 🚫 stamped over it "it really represents the direction we want to take the site"

It's actually my parents' house, but they don't live here anymore. I pay everything but the mortgage and property tax, and pay the rent in housekeeping and maintenance.

I'm in the study of my house in northern Maryland, wondering if the coffee is done brewing.

I want to take a photograph of "The Treachery of Images" and hang it with a plaque reading "Ceci n'est pas 'La trahison des images'".

@idesofmerch The Road Runner is a constant. The Coyote would always be rolling a 1 - and what's more, he's accidentally rolling a d12 instead of a d20.

@balrogboogie @staticsafe @chosafine actually, it's pronounced "heef"
