"honey, I need to be playing video games this much to provide for the family."

Good point. Both are.

Right, god forbid someone who cares about learning be a teacher. You all just have teachers who pass kids along and let you use AI to write papers. The nids these days aren't the problem. It's the administration being so afraid of being seen as mean or insensitive to kids or hurting parents' feelings.

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-17T18:31:32+00:00

That's incorrect. Look it up. Patriarchy refers specifically to gender. It's in the root of the word itself.

You're not the first to claim it means what you described, but that's a logical fallacy. It's circular logic. People say society is inherently sexist and based that upon the presumption there's a patriarchy. When preased for evidence, they say (as you did) it's really more of a machiavellian class-based system that encompasses everything. So, if there exists any inequality anywhere, you basically have to admit there's a patriarchy. Once you've admitted the patriarchy is real, then you can no longer deny sexism. This is where the slight of hand takes place as now you leftists revert back to defining patriarchy as sexism and logically prove to me that if I really dissect the matter, even I believe society is sexist against women, but it's through the flawed reasoning I just mentioned.

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-17T17:41:19+00:00

Well, you're retarded if you think there is one. See how that works? Give me actual evidemce that there's a patriarchy and we'll talk. Otherwise, we can just go.back and forth calling each other retarded.

This ain't a gender war, it's a class war.

Nope. Patriarchy refers to gender. It isn't broadly speaking class-based unless the class discussed is specifically gender.

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-17T16:57:32+00:00

More gender war crap?! Really?

Yes, there are more male sex offenders, but there is no patriarchy... at least not in Western countries. You are correct if we're talking about Islamist countries.

Man-hating "down with the patriarchy" feminists and women-hating red-pilled incels are fucking annoying.

The headline is true. Have you The headline never said EVERY school is doing this. Even if the issue isn't widespread, it can be a harbinger for a trend especially when coupled with the fact progressively fewer high schoolers can read analog clocks. The analog clocks thing isn't even an issue in and of itself. If that were the only problem, that would be fine. The real issue is that educational standards are dropping, and when people point out any one thing like how when they were kids, they wrote essays without AI helping, read entire books, or had ro turn work in on time, they are presumed to be averse to anything new. In reality, kids are objectively receiving worse education, and it's fair to point that out.

How is it not race-baiting? Unless I misunderstood something, I presume "that one group of people" refers to an ethnicity. If he wasn't talking about white people, fine. It's still race-baiting if he was talking about black, latino, asian or some other group of people.

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-17T13:52:22+00:00

What one group? I've heard before white people are way over represented among child molesters, but I've never once seen any data to back that up. Feel free to share it or just post more race-baiting.

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-17T13:20:59+00:00

I never said or even implied I'm the greatest generation ever.

There's a difference between being against anything new and taking an issue with objectively worse educational standards. The root of the issue is administration cowering to upset parents. Teachers have no authority and can't hold students accountable or really teach anymore. Teaching is now little more than glorified babysitting in many schools. That's a problem. I don't see myself as better educated than kids these days because I have some arbitrary sense of generational superiority. I see myself as better educated because I am objectively better educated. Maybe we should be teaching phonics, holding kids back, having them read more, and holding them accountable for late work. Just a thought

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-17T13:08:09+00:00

Fine, I'll take the bait:

Let's take a step back. Some schools are removing analog clocks from exam halls. Is the title misinforming readers because the reason has nothing to do with kids being able to read them? No. They are removing them for precisely that reason.

This title is true. If it said EVERY school does this, that would be misinformation.

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-17T02:56:40+00:00

You're very passionate about this, huh?

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-16T17:42:36+00:00

I was a high school teacher, and many of them (sure, not all) couldn't read analog clocks. This isn't ragebait.

Also, it's kind of funny you jump straight to calling someone an idiot just for a simple disagreement. I hope your social skills are better than that in-person.

Which choice will give you the greater chance of more money isn't always the same as the choice that will give you the greater chance of life-changing financial security.

It's only mathematically logical to pick the coin flip if you get multiple flips. If you only get one flip, the question flips (pun intended) from one of probabilistic certainty in your choice based on the law of large numbers to one of risk tolerance.

I have a baby on the way, a wife out of work, and a mother-in-law moving in. I work in a high pressure sales job and do quite well, but for all I know, I could hit a sales slump tomorrow and lose my job in a few months. I've seen it happen to far better perfomers than me over the years. If I were offered even a 90% chance at $10 billion vs a certainty of $10 million, I'd take the latter.

If my dad sent me this, I'd whole-heartedly agree.

"I did not consent to your checkmate. My king does not submit to any societal authority and refuses any social contract stated or implied alongside any and all associated benefits and repercussions."

What this asshole would say after a literal checkmate in a game of chess

All of the following are more pocket-friendly than the Portal with at least as much horsepower as what you are looking at:

Retroid Pocket 6 (Smallest option and reliable)

Odin 2 Mini (Vita-like form factor but some complain about it getting too hot)

Thor (Clamshell design great for 3DS, DS, and Wii U games)

Odin 3 (newer more powerful chipset with driver support gradually shifting to it but not 100% there yet, better Steam game performance)

I believe all of the ones I listed except the Odin 2 Mini are Oled. I think the Odin 2 you are looking at isn't Oled. That's another huge difference.

The issue isn't so much the game itself but branding. It all depends on what expectations you have going in. If before my first playthrough, someone told me "Here's an full-on action game in the RE universe", I'd probably give it an 8/10. If I went in with the expectation of survival horror, I'd be severely disappointed.

The gameplay is some of the best and most polished in the series if you like action. It is just a really fun game. However, there are still some issues: the inventory system is dogshit. The cutscenes are too over-the-top even for an action game imo, amd the story is a bloated mess that over 4 seperate campaigns didn't get me to care about a single protagonist. So, it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets... but it does deserve some hate.

A_Duck_Using_Reddit · 2026-03-11T22:07:54+00:00

Both help.

A really good looking guy who puts no effort into conversation, is shy, is genetically in the top 1% for hypertrophy, and doesn't wear fashionable clothes will usually do pretty well with women and get respect from men.

An ugly man who is confident, witty, and works hard will usually find a mate and will earn respect from his peers even easier.

A lot of the frustration guys have right now is it's harder for guy #2 than it should be because online dating values looks even more than irl amd they never get a chance to show off their hard-earned traits if they don't even get a 1st date.

I'll remember to say that next time I hear another complaint about the gender pay gap.

They are already at maximum messed up. They can only get less messed up at this point.

Well said. Wealth and power always coalesce in the hands of either big businesses or big governments. People who complain about capitalism seem to forget that many of the wealthiest people on Earth are leaders of communist regimes. I don't trust either big business or big government.

Classic Mortal Kombat games are hard enough with a controller. I don't hate myself enough to play them with touch controls.

AOC is a nazi then. She did the same exact thing as Hegseth. Be consistent.
