It's more that the answer makes no sense in the context of the post, but sure!

So, I'm a filthy casual (this was the first game I've watched the entirety of on tv) so while I was happy about the win, I kept grinning when I thought about how stoked you must be.

Anyway, hope you're still enjoying that "we won!" Post glow!

Yeah, that sounds wild. Ours were opt in programs with some testing etc. Coursework was hard but I still hardly had any for homework etc.

Got to skip a few university classes as ours counted for them though which was useful. And yeah, the more I think about that grad class (decades ago now) the more impressed I am with what some of those folks went on to do.

Wild, maybe Canada does ours differently? I was in 2 different programs over the years but we still had lunch, free blocks and still shot the shit a bunch in class. And then sports and other extra curriculars too.

I think this is the best "name every" that I've seen.

You're doing amazing work and goddamn I appreciate you making the fediverse better Stamets.

Ehhh, to each their own. I was in those classes, fully separated streams. No idea why you'd assume having a more interesting class would nix social development. (You can't learn to socialize if the teacher doesn't have to slow down?)

Fully wide range of outcomes but a lot of the kids with the potential went and realized it. Sure, not all of us did but from my small circle one's on the second highest court in Canada, one's set up a reasonably famous company, one's a cardiac surgeon etc.

You've spent almost 20 minutes randomly commenting in this thread, surely you have something better to do?

... Do you actually not see the irony in posting this in a thread about being banned from a community called Manufacturing Consent for noting a mistake?

That's kind of amazing, thank you.

Read what you are responding to but carefully.

Oh absolutely, like I said, I really don't care, I just found the irony hilarious.

Edit: though great point about the notes, happily discovered piefed has that feature too! Much appreciated!

Well, hopefully that'll make it that much more awesome when they win the whole thing?
