the AI system will analyze their responses, time spent on tasks, and even emotional cues

That means every student is going to be recorded with a camera and microphone? Is anyone else horrified by the fact that the AI software is going to be actively watching and listening to these kids?

Or is it going to analyze typed responses only? (which is still creepy AF, btw)

I have ranked choice voting. 🙂 I even had to vote for it three times for my damn state government to recognize the will of the voters and implement it. Currently I think only Alaska and Maine have it. I really hope other states push for it, but judging by the last election cycle where several states voted against it, it’s not looking good.

This is part of the terrible fallout of people not voting; people across several states stayed home when they literally could have voted for a better system of voting. It’s crazymaking.

I actually voted both third party and for Harris, so maybe don’t assume you know how people voted or what they want.

Not all the people who didn’t vote for Harris are Trump supporters; there are a lot of leftists and progressives who believe that they can’t survive any more late-stage capitalism. They recognize that the only peaceful chance to stop the wealthiest 1% from ruling is to stop electing them and stop electing the people who are bought by them.

Corporate democrats are better on certain social issues but they’ll still put wealth over people, and they’ll never move left. It’s why we have the cruel health system we have today. It’s why the banks got bailed out and never got regulated. It’s why the Digital Millennium Copyright Act passed. Heck, 81 Congressional house democrats just voted for a military spending bill that denies medical care to trans kids.

Kamala Harris is a corporate democrat.

I can’t speak on the xperia 1 vi, but I have the 1 iii and the DAC is great.

Man, fuck the police.

It looks great. It’s a shame that it’s free-to-start and full of microtransactions.

Encourage your friends to commit to leaving if they have the means to do so. Within your friends’ lifetimes, the USA will never get better than it is right now (and overall it’s unprecedentedly bad right now).

To OP’s question: I don’t really consider their aunt’s ownership of a few houses to be a practical problem, and she is generally not who I am referring to when I say that landlords are terrible parasites, unless she overcharges (and no, I don’t mean above market rate) or treat the tenants with disrespect. She was told her whole life that investing in real estate is a smart thing to do and provides financial security.

The problem is with lack of regulations, such as how many buildings someone is allowed to own, corporate ownership, rent prices…things like that.

I backed the PS version of a game three years ago and they released it for PC but not for PlayStation. They still claim the PS release is coming. I don’t believe them, so I pirated the PC version.

Crowdfunding is scammy. You aren’t actually buying anything and have few rights or consumer protections. Stay away.

It is absolutely horrible and unethical to make money on misfortune of others.

It’s not just making money on the misfortune of others; it’s active and intentional cruelty on the most vulnerable people who are the least able to fight back. It’s active choices that hurt these people, bankrupt them, or send them to their deaths, all for maximizing profits.

It’s cruel, it’s inhumane, it’s vile, and ALL the US health insurance companies do it. They are all guilty of these crimes against humanity.

“I’m sorry, we don’t currently have a code for ‘face intentionally ripped off by black bear’, so your claim was auto-denied.“

“I’m sorry, since you can still breathe and eat, your appeal of our initial denial was rejected, as the facial reconstructive procedures are considered ‘cosmetic’ in this case.”

“I’m sorry, your second level appeal of our denial was rejected because, in the year and a half it took to get this far, we changed the laws in our favor and are no longer required to cover the procedures and care required for your condition. It’s also nearly impossible to successfully sue us because we have infinitely more money than you and have congress in our pocket. Thank you for paying your ever-increasing premiums for absolutely minimal coverage.”

Always have been 🧑‍🚀🔫

They absolutely will, as soon as the media spotlight is off them. Or, they’ll come up with an alternative cut to the health plans that’s even more cruel and profitable. It is what the system demands.

That’ll create a martyr for sure.

Yes, and also all these companies are evil and they all are more than worthy of the UHC CEO treatment.

Even in this comment, you didn’t offer an alternative for “biological male”

I absolutely did: “trans woman”.

I was educating. It’s 2024 and trans people are dying and having their basic human rights taken away, due in part to the pervasive rhetoric I originally called out. I expect better of people, and transphobic comments on lemmy are not welcome and break the rule of civility in the lemmy.world news community.

Also, you’re telling me - a trans person - that they are virtue signaling about trans issues.

It’s not virtue signaling. The language the other person used is what the republicans constantly say when they are describing trans women because they don’t believe trans women are women, and it’s used to take away the rights of trans people, and it’s working.

There are plenty of ways to say that she isn’t cis and doesn’t have a uterus while being respectful – like I just did.

I’m as left as they come, but the virtue signaling you just did is why so many people get so turned off by so much rhetoric of our political side.

I think you want the trans community and its allies to not confront you on dangerous rhetoric then, while they constantly have to fight people on the left and right to keep from having their rights stripped away.

Being an ally means being open to learning when we make mistakes, and the language the other person used wasn’t appropriate. I hope you and others here can understand why.

Calling trans women biological males is transphobic hate speech. Not allowed here.

Jessie McGrath, 63, a lifelong Republican who is trans, grew up around guns on farms in Colorado and Nebraska. She decided to vote for Harris when Republicans started attacking gender-affirming care and “wanting to basically outlaw my ability to exist”. She ended up being a delegate at the Democratic national convention.

“Government getting involved in making healthcare decisions is something that I never thought I would see the Republican party doing,” she said.

What the actual…how are people this ignorant.
