how is it legal to stop people from wearing bulletproof vests in public!? Why aren’t 2nd amendment mfs screaming about this?

Sidenote, the modern web is so fucked because how am I supposed to teach a kid that I would trust the random website “paper.wtf” I have never seen before with literally “meow” randomly above their article MORE than businessinsider.com which is like at the top of every search result

so you’d pay if there was a free trial?

I’ve gotten that before too

if they were a Republican it would be screamed everywhere about how liberals are using violence

I wish I could close or move windows around with my brain. It would be so nice.

just marketing I assume. duo has always been a weird marketer

😔

The books were worth about $1,700. Since they are not overdue, the library will bill the man later.

honestly that’s hilarious as fuck 😂

Also, most school laptops are old. Someone did this at my school and got charged (iirc) $175 since it was the really old kind

laptops > raspberry pi imo. Having a screen is SO useful. I just got an old laptop to watch YouTube and mp4s on my TV without ads. Way better than the slow ad filled Roku OS

Hi there, I’m currently in highschool. You don’t understand how school laptops work. There was a court case where a school laptop was recording from a child’s home - it actually happened.

Also when you shut the screen it doesn’t turn off all the way. I’ve had times where I shut the screen, out it in my bag and 45 minutes later on my Bluetooth headphones I’ll head the windows notification sound.

And just for clarity, do I personally believe that they are spying with audio/video? probably not tbh.
Do they track EVERYTHING you do on the laptop? yes. Very obviously yes.

my coolest data hoard (im not insane, I only have like 3tb, mostly of games) was the doom 1993 files.

me at 2am tinkering with my computer had an emotional connection to another computer nerd back in 1995 at like 11:30 at night who was packaging doom files that through dozens of exchanges made it’s hands to mine.

Wonder who it was and how they’re doing now…

would it be better to find a torrent so I can share to others who need it?

I’d rather be in a civil war than Republicans having access to minorities that can’t fight back.
2A is needed.

In a perfect world it wouldn’t be needed, but this isn’t a perfect world.

ok but like if I don’t have music and noise cancelling earbuds I will explode

do we even know?

didn’t 4chan do that once?

If we’re talking about how it SHOULD be, the educational system to properly teach kids knowledge about life and not encouraging cheating (which a teacher has implied to do before) on some math equations.

never required and still do not require a phone

If your teacher does their job and teaches, sure. In the modern age where the teacher just tells you to “google it” then you DO Google it and it’s blocked, yes you DO need a way to get information related to your studies online.

As an example:
I need to make an essay on a song… that I can’t access because it’s blocked. Literally today.

Phones are an extreme distraction to the learning process and coupled with social media…

I do agree with your reasoning though. Ideally the schools provided resources would be able to do this. However due to the fact that we have 2 IT guys for 4 schools, 6,000 students assuming similar size, there’s not enough people to actually make stuff work.
