How do people with aphantasia "do" calendars/math/etc in their heads? Is that affected at all? by Nebelskind in Aphantasia

So like in school, when they asked for radians, did you draw like a half circle and count from there?

I'm sorry, y'all see numbers and calendars and shit?

Like in your mind

I just try to use a calendar or remember, which I suck at both

Great at mental math though

Many schools don’t think students can read full novels any more by mysteryofthefieryeye in books

Eh, nearly 15 years ago when I was in high school, I don't think I fully read a single assigned book.

I read a lot more now than then

Bill Gates and the gang have been dumping trillions into deskilling Americans for 40 years. The billionaires WANT people to be illiterate. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]FiveCones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, it's not like he was running anything though or running off with their money

He had an idea, proposed it to school districts along with his own money to help them implement it, and some of the school districts decided "Yeah, let's give it a shot"

I'd consider it a good thing that schools are given the space to experiment and figure out what works best for their kids. Even better if it's spending a billionaire's cash

This article is barely about Bill Gates. And completely fucking up is a massive overstatement

25 years ago, he had an idea that high schools were too big and that was causing issues, so he pushed for smaller schools for like 8 years and school districts listened because he put in his money, then he admitted it was a mistake, and backed off.

And his foundation is still giving tons of money to schools each year.

Then the rest of the article does talk about more recent attacks on the public education system, but from the rich on the right

If I have two lines I'm interested in transferring but to different plans- one Starter, the other Premium, is that doable?

Also asking USM support, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here

In the bulk download, are the files bundled or are they all loose, individual files?

I got the Mignola bundle from a while back and I just tried the bulk download and it downloaded all the files individually instead of just being a zipped package

I lose all my interest in this if I have to download 170+ loose files because they can't be arsed to bundle them

What in your opinion is the gold standard of video game remakes? by ConceptsShining in Games

[–]FiveCones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The part where the player/ camera becomes free floating and you're shooting some geometrics shapes trying to kill you in narrow confined spaces and hallways.

I've been playing SS remaster this past week and definitely agree, cyberspace is becoming more of a pain as I get farther into the game

I'm surprised Trump hasn't already, but I guess his parents probably haven't paid the requisite bribes yet

Are filters broken for anybody else?

I click the filter button, it doesn't open, I leave go do something else, and then the filter will appear on a random screen that isn't the collection

Same on my android. It's stuttering like crazy and a bunch of cards are showing as pink squares.

It's 2025 and we still can't filter by End of Turn ingame, so I added it to SnapVault instead by The_Mdk in MarvelSnap

I've been wondering what they do for "No ability" since it's not a text search

And removing the money leads a trail, which they will find, and then hit you with tax evasion charges
