  It worked so well for Vietnam so why not

  Considering going after Cuba has been floated as recently as last week, it doesn’t

  Well, yes and no. A large part of the design of the system is conformity and preparing the population to be part of the workforce. No matter if that’s blue collar/unskilled labor for the poors or white/gold collar for the rich.

  But, a key part of the overall educational system is supposed to also create an educated population which would increase the entire country’s economic strength.

  Both of these things can be true at the same time. Things that degrade the quality of education will likewise depress the economic strength but make for a more subservient population.

  The degradation I was referring to was the focus on making the numbers look good instead of making sure the students actually learned. They are made to regurgitate facts/figures instead of think about the implications or ramifications of any part of what they are being tested on. Things that incentivise school systems fudging numbers or making tests excessively easy do nothing to help the students learn. They do both the kids and the country as a whole a disservice.

  My point is, that doesn’t have to be the way things are. The education system is wholly focused on the wrong metrics and reacting to them in the predictably wrong ways.

  The infuriating thing is that it doesn’t have to be. It’s been gutted, filleted, and various other words of a similar effect over the decades to the detriment of the entire populous

  For me, it was realizing that while I was smart, the shit level of schooling was more an impediment to me gaining the skills needed to continue excelling and I continue to be surrounded by absolute dipshits wherever I go.

  In school, I didn’t have to study to pass and there was no real incentive to learn how to. This bit me when it came to university because the lectures didn’t cover everything that was to be tested on. Turns out, trying is a skill I never needed until then.

  Then, in the workforce, I’m constantly exhausted dealing with people who are at best functionally literate and I have to cater to their understanding of literally everything. No desire to either understand the problem or fix the root cause, just make the thing do what they want right then.

  Depends on who gets burned tbh

  If the person burned has been boasting that they’re fireproof all night, that’s hilarious

  If only there was a way to do a check for compatibility on the os side for a standard that has been available since before the predecessor os was released and fall back to the older driver if it fails

  I was thinking more adding from outside the visible spectrum. So a flag with the entire electromagnetic spectrum from ~10^-20m to ~10^17m

  He took the KISS method of advertising/marketing. Slap the brand name on everything you can to squeeze out as much money from the "fan base"as possible

  Hey, I’m not normally one to judge but it seems like a bad idea to call yourself spyware. Either you’re going to blow your cover or it’s just negative self talk.
