no I meant the expectation that people will just comply without complaint. especially if its not been stated otherwise in the lesson plan or syllabus.

this guy makes it seem like he magically was able to charm people into not using their laptops. and then wrote praises to him for such a thing, and quite frankly I’m certain all of that is embellishment.

I’m all for being more productive in classrooms, but banning note taking methods that quite a few people rely on is just silly.

if people want to join classes where note taking is analog only, that’s great and I encourage it. but let me know its that way ahead of time so I don’t waste my time having to get a refund for the course.

read the entire article yesterday, yes. how can i help?

this entire thing reads like a fantasy. or some reddit thread where “everyone clapped” to me.

if I was told by a professor on the first day of class which I paid for that I wasn’t allowed to use my own note taking method I had been using for decades, I’d just say “No.” and if pressed further, I’d take it as high as I needed to. or get a full refund for the class and find another.

this isn’t an elementary school. these aren’t children. these are adults.

i have no idea what you’ve gone off about. i did a DDG search. i am not claiming anything.

I’m sorry for doing a search. lol

i don’t know anything about it. i just looked up VW and looked to see what countries sales were good and bad.

“USA can go fuck themselves, they are making themselves irrelevant.”

i did not want to get into a political shit fight, man. i did a DDG search about sales for a car manufacturer. thats all I did.

take it fucking easy, damn. =(

i don’t think its really all that big a deal. nobody said the US is all that matters. guy just said nobody is buying their cars.

which to him is true. but its been corrected.

this is just a conversation.

In EU they sell well. not in the US, however.

…you know? that’s a fair point. I’m not sure how it would work. but it would be nice to know some stuff if its important.

it seems its an app that helps women flag potential dating candidates as being dangerous or red flags.

there is the potential for doxxing that comes with that, but I can absolutely understand its use and need when not abused in that manner.

i wonder if there’s the potential for a different app with more encryption and a way to prevent doxxing and abuse.
