A big one :(

I mean, yeah, you’re not wrong.

And I do solve these all the time, but it’s his computer, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect he’d bring it when he realizes he needs it for his work?

The only reason I call it an “excuse” is because it’s not the real reason, or at least it isn’t the full reason. We know what the real reason is. He admits as much when we talk as well, and that’s fine.

I’m not some super strict and punishing teacher who looks for reasons (or excuses) to punish these kids. Rather, I try to talk to them and understand them, which is why I’m also here in this community :)

Not autistic, but I teach people with mild cases of autism.

The “excuse” I most often hear is that they haven’t started doing the work they’re supposed to be doing, because they didn’t have their computer there.

That’s less of a reason and more of an excuse, because the solution is easy for these kids. “Go get the computer”. They know they can, and in fact often do.

The real reason is that they’d rather sit and chat with their friends instead of doing work (who doesn’t?), and if they were honest about that, I’d appreciate it a lot more.

Often, I guess you could equate an excuse to a “bad reason”.

This is ny daily driver as well. Just wish Sony would update the phone for longer

That could absolutely work too. I think grouping it by font style gives the intended meaning, but I really like yours as well.

I have three main ways of solving these.

1. Read vertically to see if there are some weird shenanigans going on.

2. Try to read the ones that belong to the same font.

3. Cry

Today is the day. You like it, wear it!

Not an ADHD thing. This is someone who is good at mathematics confusing it for ADHD because others say it’s wrong.

At least allegedly. I’ve never in my life seen or heard teachers complain about stuff like this, and I’m in my late thirties.

Then again, I’m European, so that might be why…?

I would also like to know this

Isn’t the price normally given at events like these called a darwin award?

I feel like there’s a lot of cherry picking here too, because if we take the MCU, it also does some race swapping that nobody has a problem with.

Nick Fury is one, but Samuel L Jackson is so cool in that role, it doesn’t matter.

Heimdal is another one. Norse mythology, probably not a lot of black there, but Idris Elba is also so damn cool in the role that it does not really matter, and I’ve never heard anyone complain about these people.

I think in general it’s more about if the people in the roles do a good job or not. Tilda Swinton did a great job. Johnny Depp… Maybe not so much, but I also do remember people were mad about that one.

Dual booting W11 and Linux Mint. I like linux, but can’t get adobe premiere to work satisfactorily there. There are also some softwares like a viewer for 3DS games on my modded 3DS that I can’t really use either

Shinkawa’s artwork has always been an absolute joy to behold. I don’t understand why his art doesn’t adorn the box art of Kojima games anymore.

Steam deck convinced me to try Linux. I installed Mint on saturday and I’m pretty happy.

Sad that Adobe doesn’t work well with it, but everything else seemed pretty hassle free

Good to know it’s not just me then. I’m sorry to hear that scribus is actively frustrating though.

I did make a dual boot switch to Linux. Been really liking it so far, but I’m sad to realize that Adobe doesn’t really work with it :(

I’ll either have to keep windows on a partition, or I’ll have to use a Virtual Machine for adobe in linux, neither of which feel awesome, but… What can you do?

Switching to Davinci Resolve is something I tried earlier, but I found it a bit clunky

Been considering doing that myself, but am worried I’m not tech-y enough

Same. It’s like the one thing where I am a total boomer on

I buy it
