Scoop: Netflix shuts down 'AAA' Team Blue gaming studio, amid gaming shake-up
  • Sure maybe best cloud gaming experience, but is an avid gamer really going to switch to sonething like that. I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do find game delay stuff annoying, I can only imagine playing over cloud is worse

  • Opposition mounts against Quebec’s new flood maps
  • My one house purchased late 90s in Ontario came with notes and required signoff aknowledgement that it was in a designated flood plain. So flood plain awareness should not be new to people. (The home was on a raised pedistal foundation, so flood damage should have been minimal if it occured, and price was right)

    Moving out west with huge topology changes meant I always checked flood plain maps before looking at realestate. Some friends of mine called me paranoid and had a good laugh about my efforts...but I think with all the atmospheric rivers and worldvwide flooding recently, they may now understand my madness.

  • Is it a reasonable expectation to check peoples profiles when commenting on their comments to ensure I am pronouning them correctly?
  • I never check usernames or comments. It is about the conversation at hand.

    I assume sone people are sensitive of pronouns if they have transitioned or altered their pronouns, but simple catch phrases should not get you banned--if it was clearly not harrassment.

    I try to be cautious of gendering and use they/them when possible, but also i feel individual people need to realize the world does not revolve around just them as an egocentric bubble, and sometime shit happens and you have to deal with your feelings about it, and either A) ask for what you need, or B) move on. Having mods protect your feelings for a perceived slight does not prepare you for the outside world of actual interaction with humans.

    Again, anyone please don't take this as condoning purposeful harassment, bullying of those not in the boomer view of gender. I grew up as a cismale that did not follow the normal idea of what a boy or man is. I was the artsy, poetry type that had mostly female friends. This caused toxic males to label me gay. Cuz gay to hang out with women, LOL.

    On a funny note my as a bearded man standing at the pharmacy counter, my pharmaciat called me "Sir Or Madame" as one phrase. They clearly had just taken a course on inclusivity, or have something in them that made them respond per the exact script corporate presented. There wasn't even a need to address me with an honorific, they could have just said Next, or I can help you now.

  • Why on gods green earth do people buy gift cards?
  • We had something similar. Dad went out for a dinner, then later you get to have a phonecall about the restaurant food and experience. A way to share, rather than a gift they probably didn't need.

  • tfw someone just steals feelings out of your brain and puts them to words
  • Looking back through the comments the downvotes aren't about denying experience. The topic raised was no need to show work if answer is right...but there is a reason the work should be shown and it is for the future course / work setup. If people have trouble doing that, your school can setup an IEP (individualized Education Plan).

    If anyone had taken my explanation as insult to experience that was not my intention. Two of my kids have ADHD. They both had wildly fluctuating math scores. Working with them on techniques to work through the method and not jump right to answering, helped them steady their grades. They were often done first out of everyone, but rounding error or just plain old transposition often messed things up, so part of showing work reasoning was "OK, you have 1/2 hour left till test is over, go through your steps backwards, does it still make sense" and often they'd find their errors, but you can't do that with an empty page with only an answer.

    Until the system has multiple types of learning and testing setup, which could take decades, working with the system is really the only way to get through it. Finding the students currency often helps provide a reward system to counter what the executive function and impulse system aren't coordinating on
