Je dis pas que c'est pas plate là... Mais tabarouette que je préférerais qu'on fasse du bruit sur le manque de logements abordables et le mauvais urbanisme à la place.

That sounds dumb. :(

I kinda like the idea but I also kinda hate it.

I really wish PWAs worked properly cross-platform instead. :(

Maybe do robotics (likely in a simplified way; surely "robots for dummies" is a thing?) and have them make their robots compete in some sort of competition at the end of the year.

I'm not even a competitive person at all, but when our school had us compete on Popsicle stick bridges, I had a ton of fun. Creative projects with a clear, real-world benchmark at the end are really fun.

Poison... Metal... Isn't that just mercury with extra steps?

Oof. I don't love the liberal government or anything, but I've got a feeling I'll miss them when we're under the conservatives.

Is that a relatively recent phenomenon or has it been that way for decades?

If it's the former, it might explain why they didn't need to before.

They may be worried about people getting offended over screenshots.

The return of mustaches.

Am I... Agreeing? With something an Iranian President said?

Do we need a name? Most social networks don't have a special name for their users.

Russians absolutely have guns. And their laws aren't very strict. And you seriously think the majority of developed countries where gun laws are stricter than the US's are in imminent danger of tyranny?

Sheesh. Tyranny absolutely doesn't care about guns, and even appreciates them in some ways. Because before things are bad enough that government weaponry (which citizens can never hope to match if the government is serious enough) is used to enforce it, militias of extremists will absolutely start the process of turning the country to shit. And will not prevent actual tyrannical behaviour by the government.

Proud Boys standing at polling stations with military weapons to intimidate voters for "safety". Extremist anti-abortion nutheads enforcing their point of view regardless of laws or basic logic. Police murdering citizens for minor offenses or unfounded suspicions, where a gun on the citizen's person couldn't possibly do anything but make the cops more afraid and more violent. (What you gonna do with your guns? Start a frickin' war with the police? You know they'll call for reinforcements and now have a perfectly valid reason to shoot, right?)

Those are all happening in the US. Guns aren't helping with any of this tyrannical behaviour, and while I'm not willing to put my hand over the fire over this take, it would be reasonable to consider whether the popularity of gun laws and lax gun regulation have made things worse.
