  • This world you keep imagining where Kamala would have invaded more countries than we have in this past year alone is quite the sight.

    Where did they say that?

    How many times will congress fail resolutions to narrow her war powers?

    Probably zero, considering that they didn’t even consider doing it to Obama or Biden. Ya know, the guys who bombed bunches of kids.

    Will she fill her cabinet with actual circus clowns instead of the hand picked pool of media sycophants who aren’t experts in their fields?

    She would have picked liars, simps, and sycophants, just like Biden, Obama, and Clinton did.

    The “but Kamala” card requires entertaining the idea that literally any president other than the one that got voted in would have been able to outpace the malignant narcissism of senile Emperor Nero over here.

    No, it just requires looking at her predecessors, and what she said she would do.

    It’s not an argument in good faith. It’s an argument for the guy who babbled incoherently about how tariffs work and then did exactly what he said he would.

    Wait, so your post full of made-up arguments are in good faith?

  • My personal experience: I run my own email server out of my home, and it’s been fine. I do occasionally get caught in spam filters, but it’s easily less than 1%. I have a few friends who do the same, and they also say that it works fine for them.

    The vast majority of people that I’ve seen who say it is impossible, are sending spam. They swear all day long that people really do want to read their marketing emails, but doubt

    That being said: If you run it in the cloud, be prepared to spend time building up a reputation. Most cloud providers have a terrible reputation, and it’ll take time to get through that.




  • The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) represented, in the United States at least, the triumph of measurable outcomes over meaningful learning. Under its regime, schools were judged by their students’ performance on standardised assessments. The consequences of poor scores were severe: funding cuts, staff dismissals, school closures. The entirely predictable result was what educators came to call “teaching to the test,” a practice in which classroom instruction was narrowed to the specific content and formats that would appear on state exams.

    As someone who graduated before then, this was a problem long before NCLB. It’s also a fundamental misunderstanding about the purpose of American schools. Schools have two goals:

    • Babysit kids, so that both Dad and Mom can go to work
    • Train kids to do arbitrary, bullshit tasks that don’t have any meaning or purpose

    Any actual learning when I went to school was tertiary, and Critical Thinking was constantly shot down. If you want an A, you don’t Think Critically, you regurgitate what you were told, even if it was wrong.
