You dont have a large bookshelf since you stacked some on top like that (im in the same boat haha)

Expats are just white immigrants trying to differentiate themselves from “those nasty brown people”

This worked 👆 👏

I dont use firefox, and im on mobile, so i dont think that would work for me. Thanks anw though

Non paywalled link?

Something in the area of computer/electrical engineering. I want to work in embedded systems engineering, but i only have a computer science degree, so theres a lot of knowledge im missing. If im overly specific with your question, “could” teach can be interpreted as “having the knowledge/ability to”, so yea. Id do that and gain free knowledge in a field that fascinates me

I never do unless they are a clear scam/troll account. No matter how much i disagree with their opinions, i still want to see it and engage with them, for fear of being the architect of my own echo chamber

You seem quite angry with me. You didn’t even stop to proofread.

Drinks were drunk, and editing on mobile with my fat fingers is a pain 😅😂. Also, not angry, sorry if it came across that way.

As for the rest of your comment, I disagree about the consent being ok based on the age difference, but agree about the power imbalance part. The acceptable age difference in my opinion is:

If both people are underage, a 2 year difference sounds reasonable as you said (but only if both are underage at the start of the relationship, otherwise grooming). If both are adults, have at it, get with a 70 year old the day after you turn 18 if you wish.

My point is Im personally staunchly against separating and mixing different ages for being legally able to do different stuff. While not how nature works, laws need to be written in such a way that they apply the same to everyone, so even if I mature/develop my brain 5 years after you do for example, we both need to have the threshold age be the same for adulthood. Once thats understood and agreed upon, we now need to determine what said threshold age will be. I brought up the example of the USA in my comment above, where they are legally allowed to drive, die/kill for the government, and drink at different ages. I believe youre either an adult or not, at least in the eyes of the law (or at least thats how it should be)

So where do you draw the line? What if a 19 year old dates a mature 14-15 year old? Is that OK in your book, assuming theres jo significant power difference (if you agree its ok, explain your system of measuring ‘power difference’)?

Just because the specific number 18 is a social construct doesnt mean it should be a free for all. We do live in a society after all, and need to draw the line somewhere. Also, because in most countries (sans the US where you can drive at 16, go to war at 18, but only drink at 21) there is a definite line between adult and non-adult(the specific day you turn 18). This is necessary, even if it is a bit ridiculous that im not allowed to do certan things 24 hours before my 18th birthday.

In my country, and most if im not mistaken, if 2 underage people are dating, no one expects them to “pause” their relationship as soon as the older of the 2 crosses the threshold of adulthood, until the younger also crosses it. But if an adult starts a relationship with someone underage, thats not OK, abd you beed to have a cincrete definition of what ‘underage’ is, abd when exactly that is.

By sterile do you mean unable to have kids? Because i seem to remember in the clone wars series there were examples of clones with families. I may be wrong though since its been a few years since ive watched it

It looks good, ive wishlisted it for when i have the money. Thanks :)

Ill counter that by saying that because you started with something more low level, the other stuff was easy (my belief).

Also, depending on what the students are actually studying, I think you need to give an introduction to low level stuff because while some will want to do web dev for example, others might want to do low level stuff. Obviously if its a web dev course you dont want to do that, but if its something like CompSci or Software Engineering then i think having a grasp of the fundamentals of low level stuff is necessary.

Lastly, if its a general introduction to programming course I think C has advantages over other languages since almost everything is done by you, instead of the compiler (for example iterating over an array - C: you need to do the for loop to manually handle the data depending on whatever type is stored in the array - Python: for x in y is sufficient). Im tutoring my little sister in programming because they have it in school, and they use python. Sure its easier to get things done, but its harder to learn/teach general programming with python in my opinion. C would have been my choice, especially since at that level its not like you need to teach/learn memory management, or complex data structures. Its the same concepts as with python (input, output, variables, conditionals, loops, functions) but the syntax just doesnt hide too much from you, unlike python, making it easier to understand whats actually going on

Beat me to it :)
