Trump University Graduates Outraged They Were Never Taught to Defraud Banks

https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/trump-university-graduates-outraged-they-were-never-taught-to-defraud-banks

From a review of research on grades, with special emphasis on university science classes:
"At best, grading motivates high-achieving students to continue getting high grades - regardless of whether that goal happens to overlap with learning."
And "at worst"? Don't ask...: https://is.gd/VDiksu

The anthropologist Jules Henry once put it this way: “In order not to fail, most students are willing to believe anything and [not to care] whether what they’re told is true or false.”

Long shot, but I'm getting bored of not working:

Any #gamedev #ttrpg companies NOT know what #UXResearch is?
If you don't, then you need to hire me! 😄

I'll make sure your users can learn about and interact with your platforms in a pleasing way, eliminating frustrations.
It's like play-testing but for your UI.
DM ME!!

If they're going to make people ride bikes and scooters in traffic, then it should at LEAST be legal to do the Snow Crash thing where you use a hook-shot-style harpoon to catch free rides from cars.

#Oil company #executives #celebrate after #Sunak announces a load of excuses as to why the UK can't go all-electric by 2030… all while they continue to benefit from massive #taxbreaks given them by the UK government at the expense of the country's citizens, who are paying increasinlyg high prices for fuel.

The same oil company executives who knew that climate change was taking place decades ago, buried the evidence, and have plowed trillions into propping up pro-pollution governments around the world.

The same oil company executives who argue that customers should have a choice while millions of people around the world suffer at the hand of #anthropogenic #climatechange.

Our entire team are furious. Help us get the word out and debunk this kind of nonsense while building a more equitable, sustainable future for EVERYONE.

Out of curiosity, and I understand that this is a super ominous question, but... if someone were to play as a clown in D&D, what sort of spells would a clown... have?

“NASA is hiding proof of aliens!” has to be one of the funniest takes ever.

NASA is comprised almost entirely of nerds like most of us on here.

If NASA had proof of alien life they’d be throwing a massive kegger on top of the Johnson Space Center and submitting a budget to Congress for eleventy trillion dollars.

We're working on a new multi-month project about EV charging accessibility.

If you're an EV owner OR a potential EV owner who:

- Uses a mobility aid, such as a wheelchair, knee walkers, prosthetic limb, or other mobility device designed to assist in your personal mobility
- Has reduced core or upper-body strength (making lifting large cables hard or difficult).
- Makes use of Speech-to-text services or makes use of teleprinters (textphones or minicoms)
- Is a carer, parent or guardian to someone who requires extra space or assistance getting in and out of vehicles.

...then we'd love to talk to you off camera about your experiences, with a view to (potentially, with your consent, of course), filming with you at a later date. Much like our last video in our series on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, (https://youtu.be/ip64lqg6TJg) we'll be questioning and interviewing charging station manufacturers and operators.
