    I think top comment is a reference of some kind.

    I heard something similar; the studio didn’t think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to “battery”. Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.



  • Unfortunately it’s burned into my memory one way or another, yet it still blends into the surrounding years.

    One of my best friends moved out of state and we went to Colorado to send him off, I got back and my dad was sick (not COVID at least), he passed away exactly a week before my birthday. The next month I went on a trip to Vegas through work (I was encouraged to keep the plan despite the circumstances… Ultimately it was a positive experience overall).

    A remarkable year personally in good ways and bad, but another stone in the stream of upheavals in recent years overall.


  • A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren’t recognized as emotionally charged in the same way. All the other cursing is not hate speech per se as it’s not directly targeting any immutable characteristics.



  • I don’t think it’s just a feeling of futility - it’s true phones can be distracting and offer more potential entertainment, and it’s true learning can sometimes be a slog. At the same time, learning can be fun and engaging, and phones can offer access to a wealth of information (of highly varying quality, admittedly).

    Concentrating too hard on mere academic success as gauged by metrics like school grades is undoubtedly discouraging for a student who only goes to school if they are told they must.
