I mean amarica will do that too, but that will be used to justify gutting some policy or other

Consistent in that they used the same type of charger for almost all their devices after they established it. Mini-USB outdoes them in ubiquity, but the connector is usually a piece of shit.

I am an teacher at a daycare. Short-term, lots of parents will have to drop out of the workforce to take care of their own children. The economic effects of this will be subtle but extensive. I suspect that in the americas this will be ignored, in Europe this will provoke the writing of policies to help parents, and in Asian countries this might just reinforce traditional gender norms very strongly. I dont know how this wouo

I didnt say it was great, I said it was good enough for a very long time. And in all honesty i think its data transfer speeds were always subpar.

My personal pet theory is that it was designed the way it was in order to make a cost-cutting measure look fancy and luxurious.

Ok, I have to take issue with this. I will never be an apple user, but until USB-C came out I was honestly jealous of the lightning cable. It is reversible and consistent, two things other phone chargers never were. Sure, for data transfer it's outdated as hell now, but it is still good enough for most uses

Honestly same. But I like all the SFW stuff

Fun fact: programs for gifted kids have historically been far more underfunded than programs for other exceptional students.

By the way, the euphemism of "exceptional children" pleases my autistic brain way more than any other word for Special Education students. It has all the compliment-sounding qualities of "Special Needs" but is even more literal than any previous euphemism. It literally means "kids that teachers need to make exceptions for"
