It’s a frame from the movie Idiocracy.

I always wonder how these things are determined. Does a 6th grade reading level mean that you cannot read above that level (simplifying here), or just that you generally don’t read above it? Never in my adult life have I taken a survey/test that would generate the statistics like this that we always see, nor do I know anyone that has (which isn’t to say that they aren’t happening). If the media being generated for me is written at a lower level, and that’s what they are basing these types of statistics off of, that’s not reflective of my abilities. Don’t get me wrong, my country is beyond fucked, but I’m not really a fan of how the author of this article tried to make their point (and I’m not just talking about the reading level statistic).

I was hoping to read more about the self cleaning process, but it sounds like it’s just an antibacterial spray down after every use. I wonder what happens when there are physical items left about. Toilet paper on the floor, syringes left behind, etc. How do you keep the seat from being wet every time someone goes in? If they aren’t hooked up to water and sewer lines, how frequently are they manually maintained? I’m not saying this isn’t a good thing, just that I have a lot of questions that aren’t answered in the article.

Edit: speech to text fucked my shit up

Personally, I wasn’t particularly enthused with the character. I didn’t gravitate towards her at all. If they did something like that, I’d still check it out because SNW was so good, but I’d rather see something with Ortegas (not as captain, obviously).

Finally, it is critical that the leadership of DHS actively steer away from politics and partisanship, which obviously hurts the Department’s ability to carry out its critical missions.

Remember, this was written 5 years ago.

I think the majority of Lemmy users are Reddit refugees, not because they got banned, but because of the Reddit API changes that forced 99% of the third party apps to shut down.

I love Lemmy, but I block so many more users than I did on Reddit. Just a reminder for everyone that you can block people. 🙂

For anyone interested in this, I would also recommend reading the original dev diaries: https://www.jordanmechner.com/en/books/journals/

I really enjoyed the read, personally.

Exact same situation for me. I was flabbergasted. My first computer was black and white. I’ve been around technology my whole life. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would need to Google how to turn off a device that only has 3 buttons.

I don’t think doctors fit in that group. They are paid well, and respected, far more than nurses on both accounts.

I would suggest updating your title to something like “Tips for interacting with mute customers in retail?”

Respectfully, I don’t see anything in your comment correlating how you feel to the marriage vs the general relationship. Do you feel there is a difference?

Plotting?? They’ve been there for ages.

America as a whole.

Republican, for those that are wondering.

I’m keen on my own: NecromancerGlitterPonies

That’s it? I’m disappointed.

People, please don’t list your full name on the internet like this.

Thanks. Went and took another look and finally found their international policies.
