Yeah man I hear you on this. One of my younger coworkers was like “OK boomer” when I told him something, I was like “dude, we are ALL fucking Americans, cut that shit out.” There was a brief moment of lucidity in his eyes, and then it died. I don’t think I got through to him.
Yikes, sounds like a psycho ex
I learned everything about how to build a PC from buildapc… like 12 years ago. Nowadays it has been infested by idiots who don’t know shit but act like they do, and also think more RGB = more better.
Not like I support Rockstar since I think that company is dogshit. But how is it lazy? They’ve been milking PC sales of RDR2 for years now. Seems like they didn’t want RDR1 to compete against RDR2. It is more calculated than lazy.
Reading this whole article was a mindfuck for me. I don’t have kids, so current school conditions aren’t something I think about ever.
The last time I was plugged into this discussion, the talk was about how more and more schools even had a single SRO and how they were being relied upon for disciplinary actions and physical handling of students because school districts were so afraid of being sued if a teacher got involved.
In the time since, it seems that this ceased to even be a discussion as it has become accepted and normal in American schools, at least outside of Atlanta. As extra wtf, note that in the last bullet point of my original comment it mentions a 5 year old got arrested… because that is normal, right???

Pretty long article, talks about the problem at length. Worth a read.
Some points:
Atlanta Public Schools police department as an example where student arrests were high until 2018, when they course corrected: “They trained their SROs to focus on helping students to reach graduation, rather than making arrests.” Mentions elsewhere in article: “Ron Applin, chief of police for Atlanta Public Schools, says they’ve never arrested an elementary school child in his six years running the department.”
Virginia as having a statewide problem where their elementary student arrest rate is absurdly high (sad lol???) : “Virginia has taken a different approach. Schools there arrested kids in elementary schools at five times the rate for the U.S. overall during the 2017-2018 school year, according to CBS News’ analysis of Education Department data.”
Points out that low-income students, students of color, and students with disability are the most at risk for being arrested.
Points out the perspective of SROs (school resource officers) have toward their students is dependent on their economic status:
SROs who worked with low-income students and students of color “define the threat as students themselves,” Kupchik (sociology and criminal justice professor at University of Delaware) said. “Whereas the SROs who work in wealthier, whiter school areas define the threat as something external that can happen to the children.”
“It’s an external threat for the more privileged kids,” Kupchik said. “As opposed to students in the schools with more students of color, low-income students, where they’re seen as the threats themselves.”
Provides an example of the response from the federal government: “The U.S. Department of Education issued new guidance on school discipline in July, requiring school officials to evaluate a student with disabilities before disciplining them.”
Provides an example of the response from a local government: “On Thursday, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia, from Houston, introduced a resolution to encourage local and state governments to prohibit the physical restraining of elementary school-age children.”
Article questions whether SROs even make schools safer: “There is some disagreement [among experts],” Kupchik said. “There have been some studies showing that police officers in schools can prevent some crime and misbehavior, but there are far greater numbers of studies finding the opposite, that they either have no impact or in some cases can increase crime. What they do all show consistently is that while we’re not sure about any benefits, there are clear and consistent problems with putting police in schools.”
Article closes out by talking about not only the negative impact of police actions themselves and the trauma it inflicts in the moment, but the potential future effects of said trauma: “The father of one child told CBS News Colorado his child, who was arrested at age 5 and had documented disabilities, “regressed significantly” after the incident and even had to move to a residential treatment facility to receive more intensive care.”

This is the kind of self promotion that Reddit once thrived upon and which made it an interesting place to find user made content. It’s fine.
All of those “no self promotion” rules seemed like they came into existence to combat spammers… but really in the end, it just turned into a way to clear the subreddits and make advertising space for big brands instead of the little guys.
They are both bad for different reasons.
Kbin has uncontrolled spam because the administrator, Ernest, likes to go AWOL for months on end and wants to do everything completely by himself. Currently, Kbin.social has been unreachable for 4-5 days - whether that’s because something legitimately broke or Ernest pulled the plug on things we don’t know because he actually hates communicating with people. He could gain so much more goodwill from the community if he just left a one sentence post saying “I am still alive, I am still updating things, be patient.”
Lemmy World sucks because the admins suck, the moderators suck, and the majority of the userbase don’t seem to be interested in creating quality content. Most of the people there are only there because their Reddit app doesn’t work anymore.
