Okay wtf do elaborate

I am stealing that too

When people say that higher grades don’t make you successful, many don’t realize that that probably means students who sacrificed their performance on school assessments to challenge themselves, work on personal projects and gain experience rather than trying to get a perfect assessment score in school. A portfolio is more important than grades when it comes to applying for jobs.

But don’t they use Portuguese?

I’m sorry for blowing up on you. It’s just that I feel powerless and I feel like it’s hard to change anything if I do things more directly. I’ve been trying to get people involved but it’s so hard to get the momentum going that it tends to fizzle out (kinda like c/Philippines). I really wanted free internet to be a thing here in my country (not only that, we pay more for lower quality internet cmp to other countries due to underdeveloped infrastructure) so that it would break the monopoly of facebook but I’m not sure if they’re doing their promise. I’m just used to my actions not having an impact unless it was supported by some external circumstance. Like how Lemmy became popular because of an external event.

Apathetic attitude? Not everyone has the privilege of having ever been under an authority figure who actually cares about their job. My university can’t even bother to fix their drainage system, my city has had its reputation dragged in the mud on national TV for its shitty (literally) garbage collection system (btw, I still see NOTHING came out from the publicity), even though people have been complaining about these for months. Do you seriously think they’ll take my opinion seriously? If I try to rally people to my cause, which would most likely be on Facebook, people would just snarkily say I’m overreacting and that I’m a hypocrite for using Facebook (which is the only way I could reach them in the first place). Even when I complained about the drainage system I was being name-called and insulted by someone who thought that making any demands to a school as a student was being entitled and what did I get out of it? Nothing! Do you think the geriatrics at the upper level even care about privacy or information? They still admire Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg goddammit! Have you ever had to really fight for a cause? Because you are painting an unrealistic landscape that I’ve never been able to see my entire life.

It is not feasible unfortunately, and if I were to put that as a complaint, I would most likely be called unhinged, out-of-touch, or trying to discard a perfectly usable system. We can only raise questions and influence people as of now. Besides, the reason why Messenger is popular is because of the freebasics service which allows people to use Messenger for free.

I’m pretty much forced to use Facebook and Messenger because of school. Some teachers will grade you only if you upload your work and tag them on Facebook, sometimes you have to repost or like videos because your project is a video and there’s a group competition based on those metrics. Messenger is the default mode of communication between students and teachers, as well as a way to contact people for your graded surveys.

Not Vegan, But: Probably needs a rest day in between workout days, adequate sleep or a calorie surplus. If he’s up for it, he should get his nutrient levels checked. There’s also this problem where people on the internet set unrealistic expectations of how fast your gains should be.

There’s being neurodivergent too. My mom said I was a hothead when I was a young kid. I have ADHD btw.

Even on mobile, just turning the websites into webapps is a smooth experience… (currently using Firefox)

Not on Voyager. It displays as 2 years ago for me.

To be fair, that green circle is really big

I honestly wish I didn’t have to rely on apps made by corpos just to stay updated in school. And I would probably need to use Google and Windows products once I start work. Ugh

But it isn’t about your keyboard; it’s theirs.

But why not?
