I really wanted to do this one, though.

I've seen some rather amusing vids about this problem, but how much does it really happen?

TIL the Democratic party is far right.

When you stop every little possible cause of fires you're not preventing them. You're delaying them and making them much larger when they do happen such that they cause all their problems at once; are harder to control fight and manage; and are more likely to burn into areas that otherwise wouldn't burn.

Matter over Thread devices are not directly internet connected. They connect to a local hub with a Thread radio in them.

The hub could send your data to someone on the internet, but there are open sourced Thread hardware+software hubs that prevent that kind of shenanigans.

Feudalism is already here. Oligarchs enrich themselves by creating paywalls from chaos. The citizenry pay for things that were less expensive under true capitalist competition. Oligarchs use their wealth to dismantle rules, regulations, safety requirements, and oversight (aka neo-liberal deregulation) it break unions, pay remaining workers less money, monopolize and increase costs, buy up competition or smash startups with legal harassment, leaving us with shitty more expensive things that don't work and no recourse. We don't own anything anymore. We are only allowed to rent things protecting the oligarchs with one sided ELU's and no rights to fix something that breaks. This has been true for a couple of decades now, Trump and reichwing are just blatant about it.

That's going to be the name of the new GTA6-associated online mode! Encompassing Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas.

Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 is fantastic btw.

It is very good to be certain, and worry free. You have achieved what few have.

I'm not certain, but your tone indicates I might have touched a nerve here. Of course you or I would not want to be married to someone who would risk their marriage over those stupid tests. But those tests do exist. We have to pay attention though. There are stressors, such as boredom, insecurity, peer pressure, and its close cousin group dynamics.

While my wife doesn't use TikTok, I can observe changes in her gestalt after joining Facebook some years ago. She's a stable person, but being in contact with my toxic older sister on a now daily basis has had some observable effect.

note: this is not specifically about women. I have a friend who was radicalized by Facebook's algorithms. I suspect from your pseudonym, you might be familiar with them. First click on some random political news or even news channel, then more and more extreme pages start showing up on your feed, the algorithm chooses based on your clicks, then nudges you along. But this friend shifted from mildly conservative to full blown MAGA at the far edge of the spectrum over a couple years.

But back to my SO. Despite my suggestions that too much contact with my sister might not be all that great, there have been undeniable signs that indicate they have been in regular communications. Both by social media, and personal communications. Not much I can do about that, SO is her own person.

Point is, the wife is pretty stable, has decent critical thinking skills, and yet still influenceable by social media. To a lesser extent, definitely, but the principle holds.

Perhaps your SO is immune. I hope so - a kind woman is a gift. I only do my regular me doing me as a Cassandra. But it is always a few clicks away from a deep dive into the algorithm and where it takes you, and how it influences you.

Regardless, good luck.

Where are you getting this data? How do you measure "most talented"?

When K'Breel, Speaker for the Council, heard that their Martian robot spy had been discovered, he had their gelsacs flanged. No one was reached for comment.

The ironic thing is, with all that whining you sound exactly like a "Karen."

Welcome to your new tribe, friend, you were always there.

In reality you can be fine in either a home school or public school environment. Or, either one of them can really mess you up. I know a few kids who graduated early from high school (some doing home school, one going straight for the GED two years early), so they could escape from public school and enter the much more healthy environment of university life.
