poplargrove,

I think their point is that you could have people in the bottom quartile who learned what they are expected to, are capable, but are failed anyway because of how they compare to others.

(Assuming curved tests really work like that, never bothered reading the pretty long grading policies)

I did post it as a joke. Note how I started my comment with “I think their point is”, that isn’t my view :)

There’s also difference between pretending to miss for a joke that dividing things into quartiles necessarily means a bottom 25% exists (what the meme does). And noting that it’s weird failing people based on how they do compared to others and not if they actually actually learn (me suggesting what the user JackGreenEarth was probably trying to get at).

poplargrove,

Doesn’t necessarily have to do with conservatism. Not everyone wants to be randomly flashed without consent.

poplargrove,

Yes a fair comparison.

poplargrove,

I’m glad you mentioned beaches, people don’t wear bikinis where I live so the idea of someone flashing me was quite weird.

I shouldn’t comment on the event I guess.

poplargrove,

I imagine the downvoters assume the post is making a point about Muslims in general, which it isn’t.

It isn’t Islamophobic thinking Muslims are transphobic, they are. Much like most of the world outside the West.

poplargrove,

The article mentions there are aleady a few issues, some quite old. The article is useful for raising awareness and hopefully getting the fix prioratized higher.

poplargrove,

Here’s a related, interesting example for BlueSky, on generating disguised links and preview cards (with content the url doesn’t actually contain) for anyone curious: github.com/qwell/bsky-exploits

poplargrove,

They really shouldn’t have omitted in the title that it’s rejected asylum seekers they want to repatriate.

For those who don’t understand, this is clearly a light-hearted interpretation of Junji ito’s The Human Chair /s

poplargrove,

If posts were signed, it wont matter what instance youre posting from since your identity would be tied to your public key and not the account on a Mastodon/lemmy/etc server.

Thats more decentralized. It helps when you get banned, a server shuts down etc.

poplargrove,

I’ts honestly hilarious that a Pakistani movie only seems to have white characters.

The description of jinn as being made of smokeless fire along with some being good and others bad, are exactly the Quranic descriptions of them, so its nice seeing some of the creator’s culture make its way to the film.

The disputed territories I imagine are a reference to Jammu and Kashmir. One of the characters called the dispute “idiocy”, interesting.

poplargrove,

So I forgot I made this post. Seeing a notification with your comment was … something.

poplargrove,

That wasn’t cherry-picking, it was to show how there have been holes in the child protection law and they have been fixed. There isn’t some evil attempt at keeping these issues open.

Also if law is all there is to preventing rape, why does India have a lower recorded rate of rape than many developed european countries and the united states? Because there is a lot more to it, like social factors. E.g would you report a rape if it would bring shame and no longer being a virgin would make it difficult to get married?

See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics under “by country” then sort by decreasing order the tab for “Rate per 100,000 population”.

poplargrove,

You replied to my comment on this case of CP so I thought you were referring to the child protection law. I made a snarky reply because it looked like you were obviously wrong, sorry about that.
