Always have that on lock
  • "I bet this would look better in landscape, let me just turn my phone." Phone refuses to orient properly, no matter how hard I try to shake it.

    "Let me just browse Lemmy while I lay in bed on my side." No matter how I orient the phone, it will be sure to change screen orientation as soon as I adjust to reading it that way.

  • You’re about to board an 18 hour flight. Where do you sit?
  • 5 or 9, pretty sure either of then would just out headphones on, and very likely they would end up falling asleep.

    Stanley is slightly safer than Toby, since Toby would probably be the target of some shenanigans...

  • Man who posted deliberately offensive thing on social media can’t understand why people are offended
  • So, right in that meta-analysis, it was showing that all but one study they reviewed indicated that content warnings increased avoidance, and that in cases of avoidance anticipatory anxiety was slightly raised. Which makes sense, that's what anxiety is. The analysis also showed that non-avoidance with a content warning did not improve anxiety responses through time to emotionally and mentally prepare for the content, compared to exposure without a content warning.

    So... it gives people the choice to not engage, and offers a better outcome if you choose to not engage. Yeah, there's more anxiety than if you didn't come across the content warning (or content) at all, but it offers choice.

    I think the how and when content warnings are used needs to be further refined and more uniformly applied, but this meta-analysis does not conclude "content warnings are a bane to society".

  • ‘It is not illegal to teach drunk’: Charges dropped against 2nd grade teacher accused of being intoxicated in class
  • Yeah, whether or not they are fired, because it is certainly unprofessional behavior, it isnt criminal. Unless you count that they were somehow putting the children in direct danger, but that probably isn't the case for a geography or math teacher. Drunk woodshop teacher, maybe?

  • Ask me for help, never respond to my questions, then complain when the issue doesn't get resolved
  • Just document, document, document. Cover your own ass. If they don't get back to you through teams or email, document that you asked for time they are available for you to assist but never heard back. If you do decided to go walk to their desk and they are either unavailable or working from home, document that you attempted. This way it becomes their problem or their manager's problem if they complain about it.

  • Michigan middle school coach allegedly choked student with shirt in incident caught on surveillance video - ABC News
  • Yes. Assault is a legal term. Even if it is on video, if there is an open case in court about this incident they need to phrase it that way. The quotation marks aren't scare quotes, this is part of what the family's attorney, Jordan Vahdat, said. Probably deconstructed from a sentence like "and we are seeking to file for assault charges against the formerly trusted coach", because trusted coach was also in quotes.

    The assault absolutely took place, and the article never infers that it didn't.

  • Michigan middle school coach allegedly choked student with shirt in incident caught on surveillance video - ABC News
  • Yeah, not sure if we read the same article. It definitely uses media safe terms like allegedly, but only on actions that would be legal definitions of crimes. After that it refers to it as "the incident" (and not as "the alleged incident"). They never hedge around whether the attack happened, and the rest of the article even strongly takes the side of the family. I see nothing that makes it seem like the news agency likes or is siding with the ex-coach.

    I guess maybe taking all of the "allegedly" and "appears to" at face value you could get the impression of them being dodgy, but it's just how they have to report it until facts are discovered in a trial. Actually, they even later quote the family's attorney calling it a "horrific assault and battery", no "allegedly" in sight, because it was a quote referencing what was being investigated.

  • Rule
  • They never said that there aren't trans vegans, they said that they have witnessed a subset of vegans spouting transphobia online with claims from those same vegans that hormone therapies weren't vegan. They did not make a claim one way or the other about it themself.

  • Ah yes, organization.
  • So I understand the first one, if you don't want an app open handling them. I still usually just open email or calendars when I want to check them, and close the tab again after, but also don't have a job that requires me to constantly monitor them.

    The second point I guess I do as well in short term, but more whatever I am actively, currently try working on. I've never needed a long term organization for that, though, since it was always more like having several loose leaf papers spread on my desk and less like putting multiple bookmarks in a book and coming back to it over several hours or days. If there's no need to use it in the next 20 minutes or so, I just bookmark and close it.

    The third I just really don't grok. Maybe I just really need a tidy browser workspace, but I usually have one, maybe two tabs open at a time when I'm not actively using them and referencing between them. I dont have any tabs that can be forgotten, because I close them immediately after I use them and no longer need them right now.

    I guess it is no different than having bookmarks for everything, except I can hide those. I just hate the "look" of a bunch of tabs open (as a personal preference).

  • Ah yes, organization.
  • So genuine question, what are the benefits or reasons for having multiple tables open rather than saving as bookmarks or links? It just doesn't make any sense to me but seems to be pretty common for people to do any more and I want to understand

  • Help with next upgrade
  • Pretty sure that motherboard is only gen 3 pcie, so you aren't getting full potential of your gpu. Bumping to a b520/b550 would help there.

    16gb of ram is fine, but 32gb would likely work better with newer games.

    I'd invest in a better power supply down the line. At least something gold+ is my usual recommendation.

    CPU should be fine, even with the most modern games. Cooler is a beast. GPU is a little on the lower side of you're looking at 1440 resolution, but should be golden for 1080.

    The motherboard is by far the weakest point, and is likely holding back other parts of the build already.
