@squirrel the problem is I've failed several classes because I couldn't focus on them, so I need to do this...

how I focus in class 

I have to:

* not bring my laptop
* turn off my phone
* write colour-coded notes at literally every moment of the lecture

otherwise I get distracted and I can't focus back on the lecture again

@squirrel @chosafine@instance.business ah... I've had a few classes with those, it sucks

videogame gripe 

there was a cool video game that ran on like... the quake engine? or something

it's a multiplayer team game where one side is humans and the other is all these weird aliens

but I could never get into it because the only people who were still playing it were too experienced and there was nowhere I could learn without getting immediately destroyed

@chosafine@instance.business why do you go to class if you're not paying attention?

Google no longer indexing decade old articles (that means 2008!)

Time to duck duck go, if you haven't already.

internet politics 

@kibi I think this is one of the major reasons the "old internet" of pages with lots of links to each other, that you could explore at your leisure, died off - it doesn't benefit google to give you access to those pages

casual reminder that google's endgoal isn't connecting you with links to resources but rather providing you with google-sanctioned answers that never take you off of their site

Idea for an enchanted item for your rpg campaign: The Ring of Spontaneous Potato Generation. Every few turns, the Ring of Spontaneous Potato Generation has a chance to spontaneously generate a potato. There is nothing special about the potato at all, it's perfectly ordinary and average. See what uses your players can come up with for this largely useless item!
