So the founders figured out how to sell the company AND keep control of it. Neat!

Thanks. There’s nothing you can do for it. I have a few blogs at Wordpress.com too, but this refusal to accept cookie choices is new.

I’ll try a different browser when I have a laptop in front of me.

Even with an EU VPN exit point, Automattic won’t accept my cookie settings. Can’t see the site

I find more and more that I have to check the source to be sure which are Onion articles and which are real headlines. Sadly, the truly outrageous ones tend to be real these days.

What about the AI generated translation?

Or worse, renting or “licensing” weapons.

The problem is that its leaders only seem to understand a language that most sane people are unwilling to speak.

Well then all they have to do is quit starting them. Easy peasy.

Am I the only one who thinks Putin would be stupid not to agree? All he has to do is wait long enough to force Ukrainian elections, then reinvade. Problem solved for him.

While I wholeheartedly support their idea, one must also note the irony of coordinating action via Facebook.

He, of course, will have no problem if China is invited to the table. Especially if he can figure out how to tank any peace deal to protect Beijing’s weapons sales and economic benefits from supporting Russia.

It’s mind boggling that Washington has tried to cut Ukraine out of discussions about their own country. Although I’m sure Trump envisions a chain of golf courses and resorts across Donetsk and Luhansk

Hard to do when our administrations have also drunk the job-certificate koolaid. They forcibly overload our classes with twice as many students as we can effectively teach. Essays are just about the only tools we have.

This fall, I have a student who seems unfamiliar with showering and deodorant. I haven't said anything, hoping that the issue is just a one-off and that it will resolve itself. However, we're quickly approaching the end of my patience, and I'm not sure how to proceed.

Everyone has a deodorant malfunction from time to time. Obviously, no one is going to be personally identified, even in a private email. My best idea so far is a general class announcement via the LMS that it's been brought to my attention that we may have a problem and for everyone to please double check their hygiene before coming to class.

Have any of you all ever had to deal with this? Any suggestions?

 

Pretty much the title. The Thicket was a community at Delphi many years ago. Just wondering where they are now. :)

 

This is great to see. Looking forward to chatting with other Pagans here.

 

I admit to being a little bummed out. It was relatively good work. While I strongly believe that students retain copyright to their own work and can post it wherever they want, I'm still sad.

It's worth noting that I'd never heard of this particular cheating site before today. One more to the list, I guess.
