Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • Lol wtf, I just played and beat Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky for the first time and I see a meme for it? Ha.

    Btw, great story full of existential dread and other serious themes like being overwhelmed, or loss of a loved one. A weirdly good story for an IP with terrible stories.











  • I was chitchatting in a jury waiting room yesterday, on the day of the guilty plea, and there’s a fun little “what side are they on” when talking to strangers- especially boomer strangers in California- that happens when Luigi is brought up.

    I detected a “Luigi deserves jail time” from her but I could tell she was playing the same game with me so I just nodded along and changed topics. Lol

    Though, if I made it to voir dire, I was so ready to preach the gospel of Luigi and go full ACAB to get let go. Can you believe they only pay 15 bucks a day for jury duty if your employer doesn’t cover? Man fuck that, lol.









  • Correct, and an actual study can isolate variables and when you do that, tech is usually a boon. It’s especially easy to do with tech, but long term studies are still difficult because of history effects and imperfect control groups.

    I can believe Gen Z is doing worse, but almost every study I’ve been around in education has found Socioeconomic Status to be the strongest factor (by far) and given Gen Z and Alpha are raised by the first generations to have economic decline, it stands to reason that’s probably the main factor here.

    School interventions do help to some degree to mitigate SES, it’s just hard when it’s this bad for this long. We’re talking decades of decline.
