teaching

There’s some nuance to this one, but you basically bring up the gist of it. Early childhood education and elementary school are predominantly taught by women because it is seen as an extension of maternal roles, but higher level education does become more of an even gender mix, up until it becomes somewhat patriarchal in some post secondary institutions.

It’s not nearly as bad relative to other fields, but I’m reminded of the traditional gender split in culinary positions that has only more recently started changing, where women are expected to be home cooks, but only men are chefs.

It was definitely the most portable console. Made it very easy to just throw it in a backpack and bring to friends’ places for Smash Bros nights.

What’s funny is you don’t even really need the bar. It was officially called the sensor bar, but it’s a misnomer because the sensors are in the Wiimotes. The bar is just a pair of IR emitters.

Anything that emits light on the infrared spectrum can be used instead. One “hack” is to use two lit candles spaced a bit apart. Around the holidays, you can just use a Christmas tree. Or on a good day, you can even sometimes use this magical thing called the sun (though its position won’t be static).

You could also buy two IR LEDs and stick them in a 3D printed frame for a DIY solution (or just tape them to a stick). It’s definitely the least critical component of a Wii to have to replace.

Gamecube probably holds the most special place in my heart. More for the games that released for it than for the console itself.

Agreed. “Failed to disclose” isn’t condemned as harshly as “Blatantly lied”, even if it should be. So obfuscating a project’s AI usage may be seen as less risky than being upfront about it.

A responsibly transparent project should advertise itself as AI-free if it truly is.

If this article from Variety is to be believed, Game of Thrones experienced viewer growth each season.

It did start strong, almost 10 million viewers is great, but the final season apparently had close to 5x as many.

I’d probably credit that to Game of Thrones becoming a cultural sensation. People became interested the more they heard other people talk about it. It bled into “normie” spaces instead of staying niche.

it makes no sense to me that anyone would buy into SpaceX.

Index funds, mainly. The thing about index funds, though, is that they incorporate investments with little to no consideration of the product a given company makes. They just play a meta-game in the market itself with its own rules and conditions, and become attractive investments for portfolios looking for steady, “safe” growth.

Hey, as long as they taste good, that’s really all you need. Any tasty pizza is a good pizza no matter how it looks.

Their link is to a mod page that adds motorbikes to the game.

I guess just…meh?

They just keep adding biomes for the sake of adding biomes. Like the only innovation they have left is just making the world feel more and more random. Yay, one more thing to have to generate a new world to find, because you already explored too far around the one you made already.

Nothing they do these days feels like it has much of a point to it, you know? When was the last time they added any new systems or gameplay paradigms? What about, like, adding an economy, maybe? A magic system? Gear that actually does something? How about more weather variety beyond “global precipitation” and “early bed time”? Seasons? Environmental effects for survival mode like heat and cold? Will there ever be another dimension? I’ll even just take stairs and slabs for terracotta and concrete at this point.

Will Java ever actually get that fancy “Vibrant Visuals” update they promised, or are they just going to shove that in a dark corner and hope everyone forgets about it like the ray tracing update they once promised?
