   Mastadon. I was a Usenet user as well but it isn't user friendly to normies.

   You guys must be fun at parties. Emojis = hieroglyphs, gifs = animated hieroglyphs. A lot of meaning is embedded without using words.

   All I know is the test results on the tdsb website were pathetic. Not sure about this other stat you're using.

   Interesting. I guess I haven't yet gone against the opinions of the moderators so I haven't yet faced this problem. I guess gab is the way to go. Block others from your view if you disagree, not from the platform.

   That wasn't my point. Editorializing is fine, what is problematic is outright banning.

   I'm sorry but I don't see any dichotomy in the two situations you've described. Cancel culture is literally people getting ditched because some people didn't like what some people did. That is, sticks and stones may brea

    Edit: very interesting that this post is getting downvoted. I didn't even say anything controversial, just that banning people is bad. Exactly the danger we face online, which will eventually get into broader society. I got banned on a

    Hey, if you're happy with a "B" grade, that explains a lot about Ontario schools :-)

    Sorry, I was trying to say that that people have been adding more funding for generations and it keeps getting worse. Example: declining student enrollment, increased spending https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/per

    It's not so much this as it is I am a person who absulotely needs freedom of expression and China is a place where that is highly regulated. I wouldn't survive long.

    Sounds good but it's that kind of thinking that leads to the current situation (I mean this literally) . School is basically glorified babysitting at this point.

    You are self-selecting for companies that would be willing to go through the bureaucracy to be vendors for you. Consequently, the type of people these companies would hire may not be of high quality. This may or may not be true for you, but

    A few years ago, we were considering relocating to Toronto. We went to a school and had a meeting with the principal of the local school. This principal said to us in no uncertain terms that if we can afford private school, to not send our

    They used Lisp to generate machine code. They didn't parse lisp at all. Imagine writing a library in your favorite language to do what they've done.

    That's my point. They hire the smart people so they can really abuse the simple stuff.
