    Either (1) which ever one is polling highest or (2) it doesn't matter.

    I'm going with 'doesn't matter' and will just do a vibes check

    He's partly right. We wanted to just punish cyber truck owners, but couldn't only target them and decided the first two groups were acceptable sacrifices.

    Dumbest shit ever

    The hidden premise seems to be "the problems in the middle east are mainly caused by bad ideas Muslims get from the Koran."

    Even if that were true (it's not), there are Muslims who have the book memorized, not to mention all the existing copies.

    I really doubt homeschooling has much to do with it. Some subset of every gen is good with tech.

    The one homeschool kid Im working with this semester is terrified to use the telephone. Their entire experience in home school education was largely sitting in virtual classrooms

    Its definitely not all students and, in reality, I believe every generation has been deskilled to diff degrees. So, while these skills are noticeably worse with Gen z than it is with millennials, many young people I meet come to college with some or all of these skills.

    So I think you could go with a less extreme intervention lol

    Teaching college students, I agree that phones and 'need' are largely the culprit.

    Loss of typing skill, trouble shooting skill, and file directory skill.

    Better at cameras generally

  • as a USian, where do you consider tipping most important and/or mandatory?

    Working as a server doesn't require you to pay for special insurance, working as a server doesn't require replacing tires, and brake pads, and windshield wiper blades, and regular oil changes, and not killing random people by accident.

    For most servers (and most jobs) all of these things are required, just less, since the only way to get to work for most people is to drive

    My tipping procedures are very typical of the US, if you're blessed to not be from this accursed country they might seem strange, but I think the numbers I give are fairly normal. That said, I don't order food much, so it's possible I'm off base.

    As for my reasoning:

    (1) Working as a server is a lot more than just carrying a tray one time.

    (2) I live in a fairly urban area, anywhere I order from is at most a ten minutes drive.

    (3) Food delivery tends be more expensive at base cost, so the percent is off an already higher value.

    (4) If there's bad weather or awful traffic (hence increasing driving time), I do double or triple the tip.

    Table service, delivery, making a drink

    Table service I tip 20%

    Delivery I typically tip 10%

    Making a drink (whether at a bar or cafe) I usually tip 1$ per drink or 20% whichever is more

    Is it better to be sweet or spicy? Coarse or smooth? Disruptive or deliberate?

    If Dems win it will affirm that a party can fully back what is widely recognized as a genocide (even among it's voters) and still win an election.

    If that happens, I really think the country is hitting the fascism accelerator

    "yes, I'm voting Kamala this election. When she loses and the trump admin starts arresting my non-white neighbors and forcing them into trains, I'm gonna shake my head smugly--especially at the Arab ones. That way they'll know they should've voted harder "

    If that's what's at stake, better have a better plan than voting jb-shining

    I figure with the possibility of the wars heating up, now would a good time to prepare lit/resources to demoralize military memebers and give advice on how to get out early. Any one got any materials or links related to this? Edit: [found this](https://girightshotline.org/en/military-knowledge-base/) which might be useful for legal avenues of quitting early

    This vibes anecdotally with my local chapter. In the face of overwhelming membership solidarity with Palestinian liberation, the social imperialist reactionaries are purging themselves.
