In home school, there is less people and more choice.
Choice for whom, the student or the teacher? The teachers are the ones with the agendas, in all senses of the word.

I am not convinced this is widespread behavior.
How many does it take to be widespread (or more crucially, addressable) behavior, is it N+you?
Yes, if I saw myself on social media without consent, I would go straight to the college or professional association with a privacy violation complaint. But this article is just trying to fuel hatred.
Are there any release documents for doctors that you can cite that include a patient appearing, either knowingly or unknowingly, in social media? I know this sounds sarcastic because it's so ludicrous but if they exist I would like to know.

Both are also serial liars. The small mercy with Musk vis-a-vis Trump is that his nationality and shifting demographics of the United States (Republican efforts at voter suppression not withstanding) should ensure he doesn't have a shot at becoming president of the United States.

Reading stuff like this makes me think we are seeing Gen-X's version of Donald Trump, and it worries me.

As a lifelong resident of the Dallas area (Garland, Richardson, Plano, Addison, Dallas, Sachse, back to Dallas, and now Allen), I think Cheesecake Factory is successfully splitting the difference between Bucca di Beppo and Texas Roadhouse :)

Unrelated to the original article or referenced tweet, but still took a second glance to adjust to the X rebranding bullshit of twitter.

>McCormack was part of the company’s major expansion in the ’90s, and went on to design for clients like MGM Resorts, BJ’s Restaurants, and Seasons 52.
If you had to summarize Cheesecake Factory in one sentence, "a Las Vegas casino re-imagined as a single restaurant" would be it.

Every time this comes up on HN I end up watching a decent amount of the video, if someone were to ask you "what does 'evergreen' content mean?" pointing them at this video would be a great example.

I'm pouring one out for Apollo tonight, I tried the official Reddit app and it's hot garbage and the Reddit website is somehow worse.
Mastodon and Lemmy are fine, but I'm old enough to remember the web I grew up with and that what I would really like to see is a Renaissance of niche bulletin boards and RSS based blogs. I'm not holding my breath though.

Yep, not a resident though. There seem to be a constant stream of articles about housing issues in the Bay Area, don't recall any attributing the issue to wind farms, but I'd be interested to read any I might have missed.

LOL, yeah, housing prices in the Texas (ex|sub)urbs are high because the wind farms are squeezing the home builders out. Where do you live again?

I've never been a big reddit user but I increased my usage as Twitter devolved into what it is now, but now I'm going to have to find something else. I'll most likely start paying for Apple News for general/current event stuff, stick with HN for tech, but I no longer have a "turn off your brain and just decompress with some funny/random crap" outlet.
Bummer, I'm sure it was floated, and probably shot down for some stupid non-sensical reason, but I would have insta-paid something in the neighborhood of 20 bucks a year for a personal access token that I could plug into an app like Apollo and continue using Reddit via API.

Saw this comment and realized how long it had been since I listened to "Punk in Drublic", has to be at least 15 years. I immediately went to Scavenger Type but then to "Linoleum", "The Brews", "Don't Call Me White", and now "The Cause", brings back memories man :)
Literal, delayed gratification.
