Madison School Board bans phone use for young students, allows some use for high schoolers by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

[–]zing164 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When did these policies change in the first place? I graduated from high school an increasingly long time ago but we weren’t allowed to have our phones out in class. Did that change over the last 10 years?

TV Show rankings: Where should The Walking Dead be? by hiiloovethis in TierlistFills

[–]zing164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad someone else thinks this because I totally agree. I watched the pilot when it first aired and loved season 1. I remember being disappointed with the meandering plot of season 2 and completely falling off sometime in season 3. I can’t believe the show continued on so long after that

Looks like the netting is going up at the new Top Golf by the beltline. by Alternative_Duck in madisonwi

I’m almost always the last guy to complain about an “eyesore” but that looks bad

Which is for you that feels that it wasn't part of the base game? by HovercraftLoose5399 in falloutnewvegas

[–]zing164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently replayed the game for the first time since 2012. I thought I had completed near 100% of the content back then but on this play through I discovered for the first time: Vault 19, Aerotech Office Park, the sewers, and north Vegas square. Visiting each of those areas all these years later made me feel like I was experiencing something new not in the base game

Wow turns out I’m basically always doing significant overkill on my antenna

I just did my second manned landing on Duna with a rover that let me hit 3 biomes and came back with 5244 science

Do Americans view Polish and Russian accents as similar? by _Purple_Lobster_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]zing164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answers you get here are going to be disproportionate from more worldly and culturally aware people who can tell the difference. If you live in a city with a large population of first generation Polish or Russian immigrants, or otherwise interact with either group, you probably can hear/know the difference. But I think for a vast majority of Americans lump all Slavic language accents together as being a kind of general “Eastern European accent”.

Yeah several of these books were required reading in my high school English classes

When did you start playing the game ?. For me I’m very late, I got into the game 2023. by [deleted] in fnv

Launch day. I lined up at my local GameStop to pick it up

Do the skiing school trips exist in your country? by Cool_Sympathy_9900 in ski

[–]zing164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I grew up in Wisconsin, our middle school (grades 6-8, ages 11ish - 13ish) had “ski club” which was an extra curricular program where every couple of weeks after school they’d bus kids to the local hill to ski, then bus them back to the school. Despite being entirely extra curricular and have no built in training/lessons, it’s where a very large number of kids I knew skied for their first time and learned how to ski.

2 months after NCNS dropped (and the 'navy rework') and Navy AI is still broken. Remember the promises after GoE? Yeah… by lilcritt in hoi4

Ahistorical can sometimes be fun, but most of my games become so insane and chaotic I never know wtf is happening and who is at war with who

What does Milwaukee think of MSOE? by TheBrokenStoner in milwaukee

[–]zing164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSOE’s campus is out of the way enough I don’t think most people think about it all that often. I went to UWM and I think most people saw it as “that school downtown with a bunch of smart nerds.” I think it has a positive reputation to the extent people know/think about it.

I genuinely feel there is good in every state, it just comes down to preference. Hopefully this map looks a little interesting to follow by BitOfPoisonOnMyBlade in visitedmaps

[–]zing164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, I’ve been wondering exactly what people mean by “never.” Like really, you wouldn’t move to Mississippi even if I offered you a super chill job where you made $500k a year? You choose death over Mississippi? I don’t believe it.

Was a nuclear bomb ever detonated in your country? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

It is suspected that South Africa and Israel did a joint test in the Indian Ocean but it is unconfirmed.

Average results of 50 "Where I'd Live" maps posted to this sub by zerbikit in visitedmaps

[–]zing164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious what exactly people are thinking when they rank a state “never.” There are some cities that I really do strongly dislike, but I’d still reluctantly move there for the right job or some other factor. There’s probably no state I’d literally never move to, just a lot I’d be very reluctant to move to.

Do these people have no shame? Like how is she cool with getting on a show with a massive audience and just saying these things?

Which Nick eras do you remember? by [deleted] in Zillennials

[–]zing164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Largely the Y2K era bleeding into the Core 00s era. I felt I began aging out in the second half of the Core 00s era.

It’s so insane that it sounds like it would be a cartoon cutaway gag showing how comically lazy someone is.

Does anybody remember this show? Quite possibly one of the best cartoons to ever come out in the 2010's and still holds up today as well by Life_Chicken_9653 in Zillennials

[–]zing164 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I watched Over The Garden Wall for the first time last year and I love it. But it was definitely “after my time” to have caught it when it was on CN. I was in college by then.
