I’m a graduate student who does a lot of grading. Canvas gives me an option to: 1. Hide students’ names while grading and 2. sort in order of submission instead of alphabetical order, so I make sure to use both of those options to reduce any biases like that.

No, they’re open sauce
Honestly if I could put my own SSDs in MacBooks I would be very interested in them, especially as the Asahi project gets better. But I have my doubts that will ever happen.
If a country like the US had a lower violent dead per capita than other first world countries like France or Germany, I would agree with you.
It doesn't have as high of a gun ownership rate as the US (no one does), but Czechia has some of the laxest gun laws in Europe, including allowing the concealed carry of a handgun like the US (at least 1 million Czechs have permits to own a firearm, a large portion of which conceal carry them for self defense) and they have a lower homicide rate than Germany or France (Source: World Bank)
Even as a supporter of gun rights, I don't think that definitively proves that guns, on a societal level, prevent deaths. I don't believe that in general. I do believe, however, that on a personal level, a well trained individual who sees the need to defend themself or people they love can prevent harm by owning a firearm. I do also believe that in a society (America) with a broken policing system, and an increasingly authoritarian Republican party that wants to crack down on my rights and the rights of people I love, I'd like the option to protect myself and my friends/family.
“No seriously like which part of your body is least useful and you’d be ok having damaged.” “Ohhh ok ok. Let me think” “…” “the head”
I’ve been playing the old metal gear games (the 2D ones) and I think a stealth action top-down Metroidvanua where you like sneak around and explore an enemy base to find more power ups to get you further would be pretty sick
Not trans tho sorry
Well at least I am focused
Born to Die World is a Fuck I am Trashman
- Put the former dictator and their government officials to a fair war tribunal/trial for whatever war crimes/human rights violations they preformed. Have the jury/etc composed of people of the occupied country. Televise, live stream it, etc as much as possible to make sure it’s transparent to the people so they know it’s being fairly run and so that all former supporters of the original regime see all the atrocities they committed
- Provide economic/humanitarian aide to help rebuild country, create jobs/economy for people
- Begin rebuilding government as democracy, use occasional voting referendums on specifics of new constitution (on bill of rights, parliamentary vs representative democracy, etc) to allow people some participation and act as dry runs for electing political officials. Maybe throw some ranked choice voting in there for fun
- Run elections for political offices, for the first few elections ensure that the former dictator’s supporters and regime is disqualified so they do not retake power
- After elections are successful and government seems stabilized, begin de-occupying and giving the country it’s independence
Putin has finally acknowledged that he is no match for NATO’s they/them army
I only get two options: Alphabetical order and submission order. If I had random I would use it.
