While the origins of the “three cueing” method may have been well intentioned I’m guessing lobbying and kickbacks are what’s keeping it in schools, not it’s effectiveness.

There is also the fact that the resistance to classic phonics in the USA developed as an anti-Bush stance during the 2000s. People thought they were taking a progressive stance against his family's conservative ideas about reading by adopting the cueing methods.

Turns out his family's passionate attack against cueing was actually completely justified even by the science of the time, let alone what we know now.

Bush is not a good guy but partisanship has ruined multiple generations of Americans' ability to read, and this cueing bullshit has been leaking into other countries too.

I repair computers on the side and this exact issue happens so frequently I know some of the error codes that I dont bother trying to fix now. The sheer amount of Windows reinstalls I have to do... honestly its often faster than trying to fix the problem.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for correctly using the term and calling out the degenerates who self-insert as little girls everywhere.

Not going to lie, I've never seen it used outside of its pejorative use. I will assume it's safe to imply that you aren't using it that way, and with that explanation I'm satisfied that it is a real term with real uses.

This does describe most voters who are not just permanently voting red or blue though...

holy shit are people nitpicking this bad? No wonder no productive discussions are taking place.

low information voter

I didn't think people unironically used this term. What does it even mean?

Good example, there is also Africa by Toto which is just nonsense and yet one of their most famous songs.

Appreciate the opinion, I'm thinking I'm just going to go ahead and pick it up

Yeah and you're getting renovicted so they can split all the bedrooms up and double the occupancy (and rent)

I’m just wondering if I need to call the police or the ambulance

Both? One of these guys is a convicted felon turned robber baron and the other is a retirement home escapee who has lost the light in their eyes.

Icarus looks interesting but I've been eyeing Enshrouded. My wife liked playing Volcanoids, Astroneer, Drake Hollow, Smalland, Conan Exiles, Dinkum, Palworld, and of course Stardew Valley, among others. Not sure which of those are on sale but check them out.

I once asked a friend with a truck to help me pickup a BBQ. When attempting to load it he got so worried about us scratching the truck bed that eventually we couldn't proceed. Called another buddy with a minivan, we put a moving blanket down and off we went. No whining, just work.
