But we know for a fact that prohibition is a weak tool that almost never works. So whats your point?

Your argument premise is flawed as phone is beyond “just a distraction”. Why not remove all other students and chairs and windows - they’re all distractions!

I’m not sure why I even bother commenting here on lemmy when people are so small minded and can’t contribute to discussions without taking the most reductionist view. We’re not deciding policy here but just discussion what should be an interesting and engaging topic.

The article clearly says this is ban is beyond just classes.

There’s much more to schools than just focus in classes.

But is focus the end goal? Im of belief that smartphones and computers in general in inseparable part of our contemporary existence and instead of prohibition some alternative methods would be much more effective like special software restrictions etc.

It still baffles me how people manage to justify China’s position on Russia. Sure it’s “geopolitics” but if you take a look at domestic propaganda in China itself it’s certainly much more than that.

Check out videos of what Ukrainians deal with while living in China - its down right disgusting how brainwashed Chinese are equating Zelenskyy to the likes of Hitler in Ukrainian’s faces and thsse are just normal people in apolitical contexts like nurses in hospitals. It’s absolute insanity.

One more day 🤞

I always find these predictions just so silly and it’s always someone in position that would benefit that see them not a kid in Bangladesh which statistically would be more likely.

“death to hamas” is often considered to be Islamophobic here which just shows how irrational and stupid everything about this conflict is.

Exactly. It’s clearly net positive for our society even if it can be cringe just by the sheer scale of religious oppression in the world.

If atheism forum ate a baby every day it would still be a net positive because people on Lemmy forgot that religious freedom and freedom to be an atheist is not viable in big chunk of the world.

Thats why so many atheist converts become such zealots. Imagine growing up in what essentially is spiritual North Korea and discovering freedom for the first time. That’s where many of these cringe atheist memes come from.

You’re saying that from a privilege of living where atheism is acceptable. For many its not and its a powerful tool for resisting religion.

Was just talking with my friend from Latvia who said it has been the coldest end of June since forever. Climate is so fucked and its just the beginning.

I do find it a bit distasteful sometimes but I’d disagree with you here. It’s a support group and the only way to wake up society to absurd flaws of religion is through community conciousness.

Their right? Lmao

Country under literally biggest invasion of this century should do ethical shopping? Fuck me this is hilarious 😂

You can really see how Hitler happened when there was no free information flow like the internet. Even now people are confused but imagine if all you had is literally just hearsay and the newspaper says nothing bad is happening and there are no goons kidnapping people.

Sure but I think people understimaye American intelligence capabilities. They see everything.

All of them need an entrance

Just some stupid doom bait.

If it would get to cable cutting between US and Europe then we have much bigger problems than slow web apps. If Europe would ever get to that it definitely has enough cloud providers for essential services. Around 90% of all bandwidth is entertainment.

Was legit my favorite controller at the time

Fascinating - so he changed the trust to grant all power to the eldest son but other kids ain’t happy and the details are sealed so makes you wonder what spicy shit is in there. This is some evil empire drama.

The push is coming from a coalition of other big media sources and this “Our Nevada Judges” (ONJ) non-profit which basically all they do is civic action against sealed material - what a cool organization!

Lmao

Iran is literally funding all terrorist organizations in the region and even beyond that directly support Ruzies 🙄

Lol
