Not even just game companies. Publicly traded companies are a curse on humanity.

Probably that same boot licking employee from Taco Bell(?) now working for the passport office.

They called and said it was a mistake meaning some asshole employee went too far.

Garlic power.

Nah, just a non-traditional way of saying wind generators like turbines.

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.

Usually 1 to 3 or so. The average is about Earth sized, I think these were a bit bigger so almost 2.

This is if we're treating this as like flat circles diameter wise. Volume is a different story.

I bet Google is struggling for cash.

Agreed. Everyone that cares already knows. Those that don't care aren't listening.

It's time to write about workable solutions for those who care. What we can do to prepare, what we can do to mitigate, and what we can do to survive in this new world coming our way.

SNES or PS1. Tough call either way. So many games that really did it for me on both of those. I haven't cared about consoles since really.

Where do I try my username?

[-] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

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.

Doing Odin Project now and the constant shiting on JS online is sort of crushing my motivation. 😫
