I think that’s polarising because using a weird incorrectly does not change its meaning; it’s far more subtle than that

Check your neck for extra beard hairs, or your legs for knee high socks

can’t afford huge marketing departments

Then they need to market within their budget. That’s not an excuse.

Here’s your broader context, all direct quotes:

“We’re going to build a wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it”

“When the looting starts, the shooting starts”

“I will totally obliterate the deep state”

IT’S JUST A JOKE BRO, IT’S JUST A PRANK

He himself said he would be a dictator on day one.

About 20% more than what anybody currently has at any point in time

If you base your livelihood on a platform owned by a private company, you’re not really justified if you complain about it being changed or blocked.

Lemmy users aren’t making money from it, so your argument is irrelevant.

It’s not my job to educate you on how the education industry works. Go and read what qualified people have already written about it in academic journals.

Sure buddy, force people to do what you want, see how quickly you get fired.

Yeah I know. It still annoys me though, I don’t want this place to turn into Reddit.

I understand your frustration, I’m an introvert and I work in education which is about 75% women, so I have run across groups like what you describe.

The easiest fix is to find a better work place, but in the meantime the only thing I’ve found that works is to become boring to them; listen politely but give short, non-committal answers. Shrug and say “I don’t know” as much as you can. Don’t say anything that they can use to ask a follow up question. If you get a hardcore talker, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom.

Your entire post is a series of straw man arguments that are completely fabricated.

No assessment method is perfectly suited to every student.

Coursework can be similarly adapted.

Absolutely, one of the first and best examples.

I have to admit though, I do actually love that show haha

All this moral panic is garbage.

Easily solved by using essays with an unseen question written in exam conditions as assessment instruments.

Literally a pencil and paper solves this problem.

What I’ve never been able to wrap my head around is how did they use their tiny arms, and for what?

Only thing I can think of is that they might have used them to brace themselves on the ground while leaning down past their balance point to eat. Doesn’t seem like a very useful thing to have arms just for that though

OP proposed many ways to let his co-workers know he doesn’t like chatting and none of them are what you quoted. In fact, he expressly created this thread to figure out how not to be rude to them

People are allowed to keep to themselves. Why does it bother you so much? Why are you so personally offended by this? I’ve never understood why extroverts feel as if the world owes them attention.

The commenter I replied to wants to force OP to interact above and beyond what he wants to.

That’s how 5 year olds navigate life. Adults understand that everyone is allowed to make their own choices.

RACISM!
