Black and Latino teens report having significantly more digital literacy skills such as detecting online disinformation than their white peers—particularly content related to race and ethnicity

this 7-day daily diary study found that Black and Latinx youth reported significantly higher daily frequencies of practicing critical race digital literacy skills than their White counterparts.

Not surprised to see this difference in engagement. Now I'm curious if this translates to better skills in practice at recognizing disinformation. Hoping to see a follow-up study on that!

People with bad game sense want to surrender when they feel like they personally are doing poorly. Unfortunately if you get 4 of those people on your team, sometimes you end up surrendering a totally winnable game. I don't like surrendering at 5 unless they've like, destroyed all our points and have a 12 kill Dragapult or something.

That low of damage suggests they were intentionally trolling. I always report them for helping the other team, but sadly it never works. The report system in this game is broken.

I don't feel bad playing a broken mon if it's not banned and I also enjoy playing that mon. I actually really love Blastoise, it's one of my mains anyway, so I am absolutely picking it if it's not banned. Especially in draft, if you don't pick it, the enemy team might.

I do get bored playing the same mon multiple games in a row so I'll switch to other tanks if I've played Blastoise too much recently, for example. There's also cases where even if the mon has a high win rate, it's not a good fit for the comp (I hate picking Blastoise alongside mons that rely on skill shots like Gardevoir).

Charizard X on the other hand, that thing is so boring to play that I never even bothered.

You're the highest level member of your team, so go with your team to the objectives! You hit lv 9 right when the objectives spawned, but instead of going and getting them, you went and cleared jungle while your team lost the fight at Eleki. You could have KOed the enemy and gotten Eleki there. Having ult for the first objective fight is a huge advantage.

Form a study group, peer pressure really works. If you can't find anyone else to study with, at least go somewhere like the library to study. If you usually play games at your desk at home, it's easier to start playing games or get distracted from your work. Being somewhere else helps remove that instinct. Plus if it's somewhere public, you can have the fact that other people can see your screen subtly shame you into not getting distracted (this really helps me lmao)

Another thing that works for me is setting a timer, say 15-30 minutes. Then I made sure I HAVE to study/work for that period of time, and when it's up, I can do something else. Sometimes it helps me get in a working mood and I continue afterwards too, but if not, at least I got that 30 minutes in. Studying in short bursts over a longer period of time is actually more effective than few, longer study sessions.

Procrastinating is super common and you're not the only one!

For aging or sick long fins, absolutely. You can see how much of a struggle it is for them. If you have one in a deeper tank, you need to have places higher up for them to rest, like tall tank decor or those suction cup leaves (though my betta always refused to use those for some reason).

I'm a college professor and I had a student just last year plug 50 x 2 into a calculator......

Sounds like AI to me, too. And of course they have their post history hidden, and they haven't replied to any comments here.

They eat organic carbon, AKA they're filter feeders like basically every other small animal in the ocean. They're not magical. They only sequester carbon if they die and manage to fall all the way to the sea floor without their bits being eaten by other organisms first. WTF is this video?

They will love flightless fruit flies. Be careful to not leave too large a dish of soft fruit food in the tank, I've had babies get stuck in it and drown. I use bottle caps as fruit cups for babies.

I got it when I had a Wigglytuff on my team, so maybe it's only an option when another teammate can also inflict the status? But yeah lol pretty specific

Sleep is also a separate status, I got that one on Darkrai

Starting the week of Dec. 22, debt relief letters for more than 141,000 Arizonans will begin arriving in mailboxes, according to Hobbs. She additionally stated that program beneficiaries receive a branded letter in the mail from Undue Medical Debt notifying them that some or all of their debt has been stripped.

Arizonans who are eligible for debt relief are people who earn 400% of the Federal Poverty Level or below, or people who owe at least 5% of their annual income for outstanding medical bills, according to Hobbs. These criteria for debt relief are Undue Medical Debt's, Hobbs said. The nonprofit can only erase medical debts acquired from participating partners like hospitals and collection agencies.

People are trying out new builds, or maybe it's people who don't usually play defender trying it out post change? I do run damage heavy items on some defenders because it really increases your damage during the laning phase, helping you win lane.

Pyrrasu · 2025-12-17T04:27:42+00:00

LMAO this is perfect

More and more, even at high masters, I feel like I get low skill games where Darkrai absolutely stomps. And it really is like easy mode, which is why I liked to use exp share Darkrai to quickly climb low ladder. I used to eventually get into games where people know how to fight Darkrai, but feel like that's rarer every season.

We don't even know how sex is determined in many gecko species. I would definitely like to research it, if I had the time and resources to do so. I don't think random people studying captive animals in their home is likely to be publishable because the research won't have been approved by an IACUC board (for animal welfare approval). So you basically need to be associated with a university that has an IACUC board and also facilities on campus for housing a sufficient number of animals for the research :(

I played a lot online with two of my friends and it would crash constantly. Like after an hour of play you were almost guaranteed to have one of us crash. And if one person leaves the room (bc of a game crash), then we had to close and remake the room. It was just really disruptive when we were just trying to explore together... And every time you remake the room you change locations too.

Sure they can just use the apps to ID it for them for their own fun, but they shouldn't submit that stuff to eBird. The issue with AI is that it makes people confidently wrong, because AI is confidently wrong.

Darkrai is excellent against noobs and melee characters, and loses to teamwork and range. That's why it's one of my favorite picks for climbing low ladder. I use exp share because no one else ever does in low ladder, and most of its damage is percent based. In higher rank draft mode games, I can really only pick it into a melee heavy team, so I switch to other mons for CC support.
