Ohio resident for grade school, they did it at 4 different school districts across every grade.
Can’t speak for anyone else.

Or teacher didn’t even see this, handed it to a high school student and said “grade this stack of papers”
I had that happen several times in science classes in 3rd-8th grade. Eventually I started arguing with the teachers in class, and boy did they not like being corrected.
Sorry Ms Avery, you not knowing that “Pb” is the abbreviation of the Latin word “plumbum”, where we also get “plumbing” from due to its use in piping in rome, doesn’t mean I got the answer wrong. To her credit, she looked it up and changed my grade before the end of class.
Ms hoschouli from 7th grade can get fucked though, a parallel circuit increases amperage load, not voltage load. I knew more about electronics in 7th grade than a college graduate who teaches science class, which in hindsight isn’t that impressive considering it was general science and not electronics specific… But in 7th grade, as far as I was concerned I was hot shit for knowing more than the teacher, and getting detention for calling her out in the middle of class. Never got the grade changed and I only got out of detention because my parents called the school.

I once got in trouble with my math teacher for saying “well if we’re just making things up, then sure [I cheated on a math test while sitting in the front of class where the teacher can see but I was using some kind of hidden code on my t-shirt that was a bunch of Shakespearean insults] . But what about all that Crack you were doing in your car this morning?”
Apparently my "making things up"was a slightly more serious than his. I stand by it. If we’re making shit up, we’re making shit up.
For the record, this geometry teacher was convinced I was cheating in class because I didn’t do homework. Homework was 5% of the final grade for the year according to his syllabus, I hated homework, so I figured as long as I didn’t suck at the rest of the class, I could do 0 homework and pass. I was right, passed with a 94%

That’s the point.
Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.
Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.
The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.
The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.
The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.
But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”
It’s all designed to boost engagement.

You know, it’s always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as “barbaric” or “Savage”, but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.
200 years ago, the local “doctor” will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he’s gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it’s last use.
200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you’ll be fine.

It’s great when people on your side of the border hate you because you support human rights, and people on the other side of the border hate you because of where you were born and lived untill recently.
Also simultaneously being told “you should just leave your shit hole country” from one group of people and also “you should stay and fix your own stupid country before you try and ruin others”
Basically “fuck you for existing, now go die quietly so we can get on with our lives”
And don’t even get me started on any sort of minority group and how shitty they have it here. Can’t even walk to the corner store without looking over their shoulder for ICE or some other thug law enforcement.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure they will.
And as long as none of them try profiting off it, Nintendo has no leg to stand on with their usual C&D bullshit.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
The spectacle of it would certainly boost sales for a little bit. How much and whether it covers the development time, who knows.
I’d do it on principle alone, but I’m a petty bitch.

Nintendo can sue me any day, I’m out here making RC hang gliders and making tiny 3 second games where the only purpose is to pull out a glider and put it away instantly.

It’s the capitalism way.
“The company with the best, cheapest product will come out on top… Unless the shittier company has more money and lawyers and then they sue everyone else into the ground for even attempting to break into the market.”
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
Shit like this is why I haven’t bought a Nintendo product in many years.
They might think it’s keeping their profits up, but it’s hurting their business, as a lot more people than me feel the exact same way.
- Comment on Must secure the castle 4 weeks ago:
People around me put cones, trash cans, and even sawhorses to prevent people from doing this.
I’ll be honest, I have gone two extra driveway spaces to put my tires on someone’s driveway that did this when I needed to turn around. Just out of spite.
I get not wanting random strangers pulling in all the time, I used to get that all the time due to a U shaped driveway that Google used to direct people was a turn around spot for a missed turn. But it’s not a big deal, and unless I was asleep and my dogs woke me up I wouldn’t care.
Now, parking on a random driveway while figuring out where you are is weird to me. And also fuck all the cops who used to use my driveway to try and catch people speeding. You were visible from both sides of the road long before your radar can give you a reading. You did nothing but leech tax money.
I have strong opinions on driveways depending on who you are and why you need it but mostly it’s “you do you booboo”

Cavemen? Maybe 20,000 years ago.
10,000 years ago we were planting crops and forming cities. They weren’t built to last the ages like Rome, but dirt cities are still cities.
Besides, Ubumfejn-Hooga-booga is the FALSE GOD. The REAL God is Ubumfejn-Booga-Hooga. But nobody has worshipped her since 12,527 B.C.E. after a high-priest got drunk on fermented fruit and accidentally swapped the name while reciting The Old Ways, and who’s gonna correct the high-Priest?
- Comment on May the 4th be with you 4 weeks ago:
The big one of endgame is Tony Stark commits the single worst crime in the history of the universe by “un-snapping” the half of the universe that was snapped by Thanos 5 years after they disappeared. No accounting for all the people who are dead in the meantime, no accounting for all the awkward conversations of “oh for me I just blinked and now you have two kids and a new wife” or “who are you people and why are you in my house where am I supposed to live now” all because he lacks the imagination to make the universe go back 5 years while keeping Pepper and his daughter the same.
Oh and
spoiler
he dies in the process too
. That’s probably more important to most people.
- Comment on May the 4th be with you 4 weeks ago:
That’s how I felt about infinity war and endgame.
I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn’t watched it after a good year and a half.
Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I’d finally watch it.
I’m impressed you’ve gone this long.
- Comment on Apparently it was in the manual, but I'm just learning it now. 4 weeks ago:
Found this out completely by accident once after my sister and I played some Mario.
I had the 2nd controller still plugged in, and while shooting the ducks I stepped on the controller and the ducks moved differently.
From the on, every time someone wanted to play duck hunt I would grab a second controller and make it harder for them.
Bonus knowledge: the original game works by a light-sensitive sensor in the blaster tip, and when you pull the trigger, the screen goes black and a white square appears whee the ducks were, in a specific order. If the game controller detects the light square, it counts as a “hit” on whatever duck was in frame. You can cheat by pointing the blaster at a white light and pulling the trigger. It will just go through them one by one as you squeeze, thinking the light is the duck square.
