Yeah for a few competitions. It was a lot of fun for the one year I was still in school to do it.

I was in the speech and debate club, but there wasn’t a class. I remember it much more fondly than some of these comments. We worked on several areas, Group Discussion being one of them. Part of it was acknowledging and tracking how often other members spoke and bringing them into the fold and ensuring you didn’t go too far above or below the middle line.
Genuinely taught me a lot about having meaningful conversations and well structured verbal arguments, and why I now know what to do with my wacky inflatable arms no one ever instructed me on the proper use of while speaking.
But if it’s Ben Shapiro type shit? That’s for the birds, I agree with that sentiment I’m seeing in some places.
Lemmings don’t drink, party, have friends, boot and rally?
I don’t, but I thought you guys might

I get the point of it, but I tried using it like 15 minutes a day for a couple weeks to get used to it, but the features are lacking and the content is…well it’s filled with people who would abandon tiktok and other apps, so, it’s kind of boring.
Not in a ‘there’s no brainrot’ way, in a ‘this is the third video in a row of just random AI slop and then it’s just some dude filming a tree for 20 seconds’.

You formulated a question where your answer means you don’t have ANY culpability even though you can clearly see the murders coming and mitigate it’s damage.
Yes, outside of this decision, campaign to have Alice executed or jailed or whatever, but that won’t stop Alice from killing 5 people, she’s just GOING TO WIN if you don’t stop her. You CAN reduce the number of deaths and continue to fight, hopefully with 3 more people to stand up to that kind of tyranny.
Same scenario
You CAN’T stop Alice. You just can’t. You don’t have the man power or the legal means.
So your choices are, 2 people or 5 people. If you choose to do nothing, 5 people die, if you swallow the moral superiority, only 2 people die.
Which are you choosing?
The people who voted for the guy directly endorsed by nazis and hate groups, who has an agenda drafted by a prominent hate-monger, are indeed the problem.
Yes, the other choice was a genocide apologist who ALSO sucks corporate dick, but has the decency to throw the average populous a bone now and again and doesn’t fuck up (as many) foreign trade deals and alliances.
Yes, the SOLUTION is to change our election system. But the PROBLEM is fascism, and a shit ton of people voted for more fascism.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.worldto Mod Abuse Hotline@lemmy.sdf.org•I apparently got shadow banned almost a year ago from blahaj, for a comment I made on lemmy.worldEnglish2·5 months agoYeah I’d agree with that. I’ll never be rude on purpose, so if my behavior is causing you discomfort please let me know so I can fix it. But if feelings get hurt that fast, it’s not something within my realm to control (unless I want to change how I talk within my circles and with my loved ones, and random stranger doesn’t meet that bar).
I’ve had good luck with Sunshine/Moonlight, though I haven’t tried it in the last 6 months or so. Was using it to stream my much beefier desktop to my Rog Ally while in bed when I hurt my back.
There was a slight latency, like, enough to notice that I notice, but hardly enough to catch when fully engaged. But the PC was getting like 200 frames in the games I was playing and that was limited to the 120fps limit I set for Moonlight (i think it let’s you bypass this to go higher, but I didn’t want to at the time).
