What's the deal with you and others like you being so annoyed by lack of swearing? Like the comments that get voted to the moon because someone didn't feel like swearing or censored a swear? Like... I swear, sometimes I don't tho... But like it's a non issue.

Am I missing something?

Genuinely curious.

There kinda isn't really any definitive science that indicates a specific frame rate that the eye can perceive.

There are studies however that show ranges from 30 to 90hz, and studies that show that human perception can detect flicker at up to 500hz even.

The issue is that nothing that happens in the real world is synchronized with what you perceive. So filling in with more Hz means there are more chance for you to actually perceive the thing.

To complicate matters further, our brains do a lot of filling in for us, and our eyes and brains can still perceive things you aren't consciously perceiving yourself. So again more frames is always nice.

More teachers per student.

Starting at about 4 student per teacher, and each year or developmental step gets a few more students. If still doing grades/years then another 2 or 3 students per. This let's each teacher learn about each student and actually catch any development hurdles early and give the children direct attention. As children grow they get to learn to socialize more and more in bigger groups.

Gamification and goal adjustment

They shouldn't have letter grades anymore, or if they do they aren't locked at percentages. That means the grade can only go down as they make mistakes. Instead they start at the bottom and have to answer so many questions correctly to prove understanding. They also don't run out of questions. When they get something wrong an explanation is given as to why and even steps on how to understand and work through it. When they understand a topic they move on and more questions on the things they struggle with are given. All of this is underpinned with game things like achievements, and unlocks, and rewards and so on.

Focus on practicality, strengths, and real world mentorship

After learning the fundamentals, more education should focus on their strengths, wants, and practical application. Actually doing the things is so important so getting out there and witnessing it, doing it in person is important. So there should be mentors like olden times. Students get to shadow people long term, actually do what they do, learn with them, earn with them. Multiple opportunities should be given that students find what they do enjoy, what they do excel at even if those things are different. This gives the student early indicators and choices. No longer needing to determine what they wanna be when they grow up without any real world experience.

No standardized testing, overhaul of how each subject is taught

Maths is amazing. Glorious puzzles to be solved. It's currently taught in the worst way imaginable and sucks all the fun out of the subject. Now the majority of people hate maths. This is the same for quite a few subjects. A lot of that is due to standardized testing or how it's taught. Those tests should disappear. Testing, just like grading above, would be catered to the student. Students still need to achieve reasonable real world goals, but timed stadardized testing in a high stress environment isn't the way. Students would be afforded all the tools they would have access to in the real world. They would be taught how to use those tools effectively instead of told to memorize. They would be afforded a chance to enjoy they education and proof their worth in the way that works for everyone including themselves and not just to a random committee that made up an arbitrary system ages ago.

There is more but I'll stop here.

I'm sad they never watched Adventure Time.

Because people can't have different opinions?

I still think the game is fine. I still think it did some very interesting things. I got over 100 hours of playtime from it. I played on gamepass too. So I definitely got my monies worth.

Does it have problems? Sure. Quite a few, but it's still enjoyable enough of you don't expect the too much. It also had tons of potential of they actually release the creation kit.

I don't think it's the worst game ever. It's not even their worst game.

George not knowing Leclerc playing him dirty and thanking him for keeping it clean. Then immediately finding out from Charles that it was in fact very dirty hahahah!

Edit: It's just meant to be funny friends. The irony of George not having heard LeClerc plotting against him and then thanking him. I'm not mad at strategy.

For real. I don't understand why people keep doing that.

You can add search engines to Firefox in the address and search bar.

Go to the site you want to add, click the address bar for the drop down to show, then there will be an icon for that site with a green plus to add it.

If you use the search box it's even easier. If you're on the site the icon on the left will have the green plus symbol for it.

I'm excited for it because Bethesda. I've always put hundreds of hours into their games despite all the ranting and raving.

I'm definitely a bit worried for the same reason as you are though. I think those are likely filler exploration radiant quest type stuff. I'm cautiously hopeful that the story is good and long and deep enough to keep me playing though.

Plus come on... space and customer ship! :D

Does it work with Android auto?

Project seems dubious based on other comments but I've yet to find anything that's good and respects privacy while also being on Android auto.
