this is so based it sounds almost too good to be true

yeah

It’s not for everyone but I like it

I still have a lightscribe drive in my main PC. No lightscribe discs though.

its the impostor!

this just merely confirms what everyone knew all along, that the supposedly “not racist” anti-immigration policies are in fact blatantly racist since the Trump admin have made an exception in this anti-immigrant rhetoric for white Afrikanners based on nothing more than a crackpot conspiracy theory.

there is that (as someone who had parents and grandparents who were smokers) but it is also quite unfair, you never asked for them to be smokers or smoke around you and when you are a child your attempts to convince them to stop smoking is met with laughter more often than not.

I think a big part on why I’m not a smoker is I saw what it did to people, and how second hand smoke has affected me. I’d be in a room with my mother and grandfather, trying to find clean air inside my grandfather’s small apartment because both of them were smoking at the same time. I never want to make another human experience that.

Best thing you can do is to break the chain if others in your family do it I guess. I will never smoke, there’s literally nothing in it for me or those around me.

No doubt

Things like this were certainly better before social media, when a trend like this would be contained to a school and would be less likely to spread across the world.

I think if we knew what the capabiltiies of social media platforms would be 25+ years ago, it would certainly be something we would see coming. The idea that a teenagers telling a bunch of other teenagers hundreds of kiometeres away what dumb and dangerous idea they came up with is probably one of the more predicable things that has happened.

uh oh, this is gonna upset the top 1%.

ty c:

I meant more broadly than just breaking computers, but I guess for as long as computers have been in school teenagers have been finding creative ways to break them.

Was always a BYOD kid since our school allowed it (and I think most if not all should) and I preferred using GNU/Linux over Windows so I never really did anything like this myself. I’ve scavenged parts from (usually ewasted) school computers before, but that’s a story for a different day.

The kids in our schools were also surprisingly well behaved in this manner. It’s not even that I haven’t heard of kids doing stuff to their school computers elsewhere I just haven’t really noticed it to be too bad where I was. Maybe a few incidents of kids picking the keys off the keyboard but otherwise not really much. I wonder if it’s still the same way or if it’s changed, but I guess I’ll know that once I start working for a school IT department.

Unless it’s Google hardware I don’t really know what they could say. It would have been better for them to contact actual Chromebook manufacturers such as Lenovo, Acer, or Dell.

Its a stupid trend, but at the end of the day teenagers will do stuff like this no matter what generation you look at. I hope they can become educated to why this is bad and you shouldn’t do it.

I love you

but you are absolutely stunning

so cute sweetie <3

probably the kind of person to scream “woke DEI” everytime they see someone who isn’t white working at burger king.

if men did that the world would be so much better

you see, free speech is only for reactionaries.

down with the monarchy
