What's New....?

Unless we’re talking about non-planar surfaces, then a line is straight as they are the geodesics of a plane. The boundary of a planar circle is an edge, not a line. Although on the surface of a sphere the geodesics are great circles.

But, you’re right, the test is insane and should disqualify those who wrote it and those who thought it was reasonable to set it from being allowed to vote!

Sad as it is, bunch of those people probably still have government jobs. Those that didn’t managed to get away with it and only the tiniest minority ever realised how truly huge pieces of shit they were.

It must have been this test or perhaps the same question was in whatever test we took bc our teacher allowed us to go down the rabbit hole pretty often and before he asked if any of of thought the test was fair, we did venture down the rabbit hole on each question and I kinda remember the this exact same debate :joy:

Yea, totally ridiculous that this ever existed in what calls itself a “free democracy.”

I’m a fan of automatic restoration of voting rights the second you get out of prison. I’m not sure where I am on the people who are out on parole but technically still serving their sentence.

I have made a spreadsheet of my physical game collection.

I’m only going for portables now, PSP is next on my list and then I might get some Gameboy stuff.

All my old childhood games are in storage or at parents’ houses and I’m not really in the mood to get them and then get working old consoles.

Do you only play handhelds now?

I pretty much only play on PC and handhelds. Although the Switch is a cheat because I play it on the TV a lot.

I also hacked emulators onto my Vita so I still get my SNES and other old console fill, just while on the toilet or outside.

I can do that already through the power of cloud gaming. We are already there baby.

On the other side of the spectrum. Some chick I use to talk to back in 2019 just reappeared in my life out of nowhere so

That could mean so many things! Totally worth exploring if you ask me.

Well sure but streaming is not the same as running a game through the phone’s hardware :stuck_out_tongue:
And how do you play those game through the cloud without an internet connection, I wonder? :grin:

Oookay. I got home safe, and I’m now unpacked. The whole little vacation trip/experience was… ‘something’, I’ll tell you that. Mostly glad I went, so that’s good.
(Got kinda tense last night with a dating couple in our class getting into a drunk drama, then leaving. Also some other university group moved in next door right after that and got kinda hectic outside.)

Might have a few person-less pictures I can share of some stuff, we’ll see. The beach was a highlight for sure

Reminds me of a troll test we got at school.
I can’t find it to post but let me describe it:

The purpose of the test is to make us reading questions carefully and not just rush it and do needless mistakes. To manage that the test had these questions:

  1. First read all tasks and then start doing this test.
  2. Circle the last word of this sentence
  3. rip off the top right corner of this paper
  4. calculate this: …
  5. Find the wrong spelled word: …

(a handful of more tasks)

  • Last task: Now that you read all tasks, only sign this piece of paper and give it back. Write your name readable as you don’t get a second piece of paper.

Was quite funny. Especially as people got sweating when the first left their place to give the paper to the teacher as that gave the remaining the impression you should stop reading and start working on all the tasks.

The German one is well intentioned, in fact more tests like that should be given, it enhances the reading comprehension and critical thinking skills of a student. The American one is a blatant tactic to discriminate people and remove their right to vote without violating the law and US Constitution. Just shows that intent matters when you write something.
