So… when will there be PowerPoints and training that will now be required as a result of this incident? Now DoD employees will have to sit through yet another hour-long presentation about how to not make spelling mistakes lol.

From Article 19, Section 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, November 20, 1989:

States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has the care of the child.

Sadly, the United States (of which Missouri is a state) has only signed, but not yet ratified, this Convention. Still, I think this warrants getting some international attention lest this becomes normalized again.

This has been my experience as well. I’ve wanted to have my main be some sort of Linux for years, but there’s always something that requires hours to try to fix that doesn’t work out of the box. This is primarily due to drivers sucking since most of their focus is on Windows compatibility.

Tried Ubuntu in 2007 on a laptop. Could never get the WiFi to work correctly.

Another Ubuntu on a desktop in 2012. This time it was display drivers causing graphical glitches and crashes that I also couldn’t really fix.

Mint in 2018 and again in 2020. A bit better experience than before, but less driver issues and more software compatibility with individual games that was frustrating, especially third party game libraries (looking at you Ubisoft).

I dunno, maybe it’s a skill issue and I should just “git gud” but I realize that gud is not a valid git command so it doesn’t help me here.

We would probably have a better Supreme Court even if we had arbitrary requirements that make little sense but would be a better alternative to what we have now. For instance:

• All Justices must have the name Horatio (either a given name or by name change). No last names.

• Twenty years of experience required in horticulture, which because of the forementioned name change, is more like horatioculture.

• Must have read at least 3000 books of any type.

• Can juggle an arbitrary amount of oranges on demand.

• Has combat experience in either blunt or bladed weaponry in the event of a zombie apocalypse, with a skill level scaled to their age. Alternatively, skilled in the occult and necromancy (to turn the undead).

• Can create rhythmic song related to the laws being discussed in the event of spontaneous musicals.
