It's so annoying. I'll scan something big and the computer is OUT LOUD saying at me "BAG YOUR ITEM" like NO! I DONT WANT TO!

Self Checkouts are not even self checkout anymore. You go up and scan your stuff then 2 times out of 3 someone has to come over and approve that you scanned everything. At that point just open the normal lanes back up
I think your arguement is kind of silly. Kid's schedules are bloated? With what though? Is it actually valuable? Maybe if they're bloated we should... get rid of the bloat and add in things that would actually help them.
Also, you aren't teaching them what will be useful in a home in 30 years. You are teaching them what will be useful NOW. When they go to college, or get an apartment in a few years. If we didn't teach people things that changed we wouldn't teach SCIENCE! But we do. Because when you have a baseline and things change you can update what you know over time.
On top of that, your argument is self defeating. You are similtaneously saying kids are too busy for a class on this stuff but also saying they should just teach it to themselves in their free time. If they're so busy when do you expect them to do that? The entire point of a class is so that we can MAKE TIME for them to learn this stuff.
I'd say anything that is relatively common and could potentially be dangerous if not maintained properly. You don't need them to be masters of every appliance. Just to be aware of the dangers of the most common ones.
Hey, theyre clearly made for eachother. Good for them tbh.
I genuinely think that you should take a class in highschool that teaches basic life skills like this. 1 class each year. It could cover cooking/nutrition, mental health, chores, financial literacy, First aid basics, etc. Then by the time thye graduate they have had 4 years of teaching about basic stuff like that. I bet it would save tons of lives.
I think we're reaching a point where there is going to be so much stuff around be it games, tv, movies, music, etc all made by AI and all just garbage, that it will make curating a huge deal. Like we'll need to have services whose sole purpose is to sift through the marketplaces and find quality stuff to then present to people. So you'll have a two tiered system where on one hand you can browse "everything" and it's just a deluge of stuff and then on the other hand you can go to a curated marketplace that only lists stuff that is known to be high quality. But it's going to take time for those curated places to pop up, and in the mean time we are gonna be swimming in slop.
The Keychron K3 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard might be to your liking. It's small tho idk if you prefer a full size. But it's very low profile, has a backlight, good build quality, etc. And is quite quiet. If you like a membrane I think you'll like it.
I"m not new to the threadiverse this is just a new acct. Don't participate in the instance war stuff. Don't care for it. But you do you none of my business.
lol was not expecting to see my post posted by someone else so quick. I was planning to crosspost it later so people from different time zones might see. Guess I was too slow lmao.
You laugh but id rather talk to a robot than a cop anyday lol
I've walked out of Walmart before over wrong prices. I was just there to look at the camping section and see if they had any deals. There was a cooler on sale for 10$. I go scan it. 30$. I just left it there at the self checkout and went home.
