It feel's like being a genuine human being is enough to throw people off nowadays. It's not like he's a grifter, he has given critique on right wing social media, the "freedomphone" and republican legislation regarding tech.

I see everyone talk about his politics but what do you expect the man to do. Not stand up for his ideological support for FOSS technology and not talk about radical new technology such as the 3D printing of guns?

I think it's ridiculous that you can lose a full grade just for being disobedient. I get that school is made for the child to grow up to have a good job but this stops people more inclined to innovate to get far academically.

You're lucky, good for you.

I was just far too skeptical for my age and it caused me to have worse exam performance usually having me go from an A to a B- just for defying the teacher. School is more about following authority than anything else I believe.

Damm guys 15 dislikes? I get that I misunderstood but i didn't expect to be ratio'd.

Seem's awesome, sadly not open source but it has an appeal.

In my country (The Netherlands) weed is defacto legal and widespread yet we don't suffer from a crisis as severe as the US has, if anything it's probably less likely that people go to harder substances since weed is so safe and widely available. I can even proudly say that I have never seen a junkie on the streets here.

The real truth is that the catholic church purposefully wanted people stupid and uneducated and that's why people started believing in the flat earth even after the Greeks. but they don't teach you that in school!

The theory of a taste map had no scientific basis, i remember funnily enough writing in a school paper that the taste map didn't exist and got a lower grade for getting my answer wrong even though in hindsight i was the one who was right and i got forced to believe in a medical myth.

It's not just America.

That was a thing i did learn about thankfully enough (european school system)
