Yes. In highschool (Australia) I took Modern History in years 11-12, which was taught by a teacher who really cared about the subject. With a subject like that of course media literacy, arguments, hypothesis’s, source accuracy, claims, bias, and everything related to research skills was relevant. It was essentially a practice run for any political science course you would take at university, as the class revolved around submitting one big assessment item each term which was thoroughly researched. I chose the easy route every time and just wrote essays, but if you were the creative type you could make something else to showcase understanding.

During one semester we did a small trip to a university campus in the city so we could gather resources for one of our projects while not hitting any paywalls.

Of course being an elective senior subject in rural Queensland it was only about 15 of us in my class, where my cohort at large was 100 students in total (once people dropped out in Year 10).

Anxiety and depression. I’ve gone from Lexapro to Venlafaxine to Prozac. Hard to tell if I should switch again or if I just have to feel this way until I’m employed.

7 years ago, before the day my first dog was euthanized at the vet.

Either I’ve had it alright so far or my medication is keeping it in at this point…

I go kayak-camping often, so I’ve got about 12-ish liters of water bottles. My oldest thermos is probably about 3 years though.

It’s always the people you most expect.

I have a pair of Phillips Fidelio X2HR for my PC where I listen to most things; an unexpected brand compared to the likes of Sony or Sennheiser. I’m considering an upgrade to a close-backed pair of headphones since I don’t live alone and my PC space is nearby to the kitchen, so I would like to block sound out.

In the gym out back I use a Google Mini. Living where I am now I haven’t needed earbuds for public transport so I don’t have any. I will eventually buy a pair for when I go camping and want to watch something on my phone.

I fixed that problem…I never hear silence!

All I hear is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

It won’t be the same without RARBG. 😭

It’s too bad I already wrote like that before ChatGPT was public. For fun I put in an essay of mine from a couple of years back into a detector that told me parts were generated by AI ☠️

No, I haven’t. It’s been a long time since I played multiplayer in any game at all! Which wasn’t local co-op with my sister at least…If Playnite is to be believed that would be Titanfall 2, 2 years ago.

Since I’m limited to one hand (I fractured my elbow), I’ve been going back to my strategy game catalogue. At first I started with Endless Legend, which I’ve got over 100 hours in, but I wasn’t vibing with it. The backlog game I had on the side, Age of Wonders Planetfall, became my main game. I’m still trying to get into it, but it just feels too cluttered for it’s own good. I don’t think I want to give up on it but alongside that I began playing Endless Space 2 which is really cool! Even with experience in the Endless series it still feels a bit complicated, it’s not as insane as Stellaris, but I have a good feeling about it now.

I did notice Bethesda caged the seagull during the Starfield video…but he still managed to get off that crap about OnE tHouSaNd PLaNeTS.

This was my problem trying to get into it after MegaCorp. Suddenly production went from a familiar mechanic like in Endless Legend or Civ to a convoluted mess with all the branching resources. One day I’ll get back into it…
