the only restaurant chili with cinnamon is skyline, which is specifically why i dont like it

i mean it’s spiced differently and usually has beans but the main ingredient is still tomatoes. not that different from having a meat sauce
chili spaghetti is extremely normal tho ?
i mean skyline sux and all but like
idk, im surprised it took this long. there’s a huge variety of admin teams with varying degrees of security awareness and it’s been over a month since the first big influx of users started. it’ll happen again too and probably not before too long
Unless you actually somehow think this was a genuine misunderstanding of the test directions, then they were clear and the student provided useless answers on purpose.
Getting points is a reward for giving right answers. If the student wants to play language games on his math exam, let em fuck around and find out. But they do have to find out. Literally all I’ve suggested is making the student demonstrate actual understanding. Thinking even that is somehow going too far is absolutely ludicrous.
You have completely flipped the concepts of mature and immature. Only a child would think the exact wording of a phrase is the absolute most important thing and that context doesn’t matter at all. An adult would follow the intent of the exercise and make sure actual understanding was achieved–you know, the entire point of the test. Children love malicious compliance: “finish your homework,” so they scribble a bunch of random nonsense; “stop hitting your sister,” so they start poking them; “go outside,” so they sit down and play phone games. The fault isn’t with the adult for not being clear enough, the kid just doesn’t want to comply. Rewarding that type of shitty behavior just encourages more of it!
Do better with the language next time, and it won’t happen again.
Reward the kid for being a smartass and intentionally misreading directions, and it ABSOLUTELY will happen again. Unless you’re gonna start spending an hour writing incredibly precise paragraphs for each exercise like a magician giving instructions to a genie, there will always be some technically correct version that wasn’t what the question intended.
This is so silly. Kids aren’t code compilers. They know what’s being asked of them. This is like shrugging your shoulders and just letting it happen when a kid is doing the whole “I’m not touching you!” shtick.
Oh come on. This is obviously a kid’s test, and the kid knew they were being a smartass. What’s less clear is whether the kid knew the actual answers.
In your world you start having to write “solve the equations to their simplest forms” on tests for kindergarteners who won’t even know what that means in order to avoid technically correct nonsense like “1 + 1 = 1 + 1”. Room should be made for genuinely unclear test directions, but this is not one of those cases.
Edit, maybe he should have gotten credit for literally writing “a number with a 2 in the ones place.” The test should have used “provide an example,” not “write!”
idk the whole idea of a test is to demonstrate understanding, which this doesn’t. i feel like a good teacher wouldnt take off points, but would have to pull the student aside and be like “ok now circle the tens place, hundreds place, etc”
“Vitamin” is basically the 19th century’s idea of a sciencey word for “nutrients.” I mean heck, half the “vitamin Bs” aren’t even related to each other at all
you know that mud cookies are a real documented thing that people eat in places like haiti right? i dont know of this woman but saying “people eat mud” in a place known for having famines is extremely plausible
Also, the giant flood of posts you’re seeing is actually ANOTHER bug that happens as your instance federates with another; look close and you’ll see many of them are actually quite old. Refresh the page and those will disappear
Unfortunately not. I made a post about it a few days ago and apparently it’s an unintended behavior that will be fixed, it was just never an issue before since there were so few users lol
While some streamers could get direct sponsors, that option is really only available to a select few of the most popular ones, and would still deprive them of the extra income they currently get from ads served by the platform. You’d have to convince advertisers to trust that each instance is going to serve their ads fairly and not additionally host content they don’t like. A system to distribute ads between instances would be complicated enough to write in the first place; these sites have a lot of QoL updates to push before they even think about doing something like that.
The other problem with YouTube/twitch alts as opposed to reddit/twitter is that a lot of the creators people like the most actually rely on those platforms to serve ads in order to make a living. That content can’t exist on FOSS systems unless they somehow manage to attract advertisers, which seems next to impossible
technically d20 is improv as well lol
i feel like mastodon needs immediate mass adoption far more than lemmy or kbin. here, even with a smaller community you get interesting links and some decent memes. but the whole point of twitter/mastodon is to follow specific people, and if those people aren’t there…
links that you find while browsing on reddthat.com will send you to other instances? that’s super odd, I’m not getting that behavior with midwest.social or lemmy.ml, using mobile or desktop firefox. just pasting the links into the search to find your instance’s version of the post is a bit of a janky workaround but it should work. you might try posting in https://reddthat.com/c/[email protected]
assuming the servers are properly federated you should be getting a link that is still on your server. i mean, you got to this lemmy.ml link alright at least
wait, i think i get what you mean, like if you get an external link while not browsing on your instance? you should just be able to paste that link into the search function to find your instance’s version of the post
It’s definitely all of the above.
Hexbear is particularly vexing to me. According to the fediverse observer they’re less than a month old and yet have already become one of the most active instances.
