Look, I’m just impressed at the Kotaku community’s restraint, thus far. I mean, we all know Jason did this on purpose, but even so no-one’s thrown shade his way. *slow clap*

He could certainly use some humility, but then again brag is half the game in boxing and similar sports.

I’ve got no interest in defending Mayweather’s quality as a human being, but I have two points that I think are salient:

Wow. Thank you for this. As a White Person™ I’ve always wished that we could have a world where the privilege of free thought as you describe it here really was everyone’s reality, no matter what label society has for them.

Depending on the situation, it’s reasonable that the first officer might be managing communications with the flight controller and the cabin while the captain focuses on maintaining control of the airplane, or vice versa. In an emergency situation it’s unlikely that one of the pilots would be wholly unoccupied.

Thanks for reminding me that Obama routinely finished with that...

I’ll admit to having periods of “Oh noes, whites might become minorities” followed by the realization that,

Don’t assume anyone knows anything :P

*and because Coca-Cola is from Georgia.

Coloring in the hair was more likely the task of his assistants rather than something he was doing himself.

Also, your concern about screens is anything but unreasonable.

I agree, it can be used as an excuse, even when they really are dealing with ADHD. Particularly if there’s a diagnosis but no treatment, blaming a kid’s ADHD for behavioral problems is like blaming the sun for your sunburn. Yes, it’s the cause of the problem, but you’ve chosen not to do anything to mitigate the…

Your cousin’s daughter is demonstrating a classic example of hyperfocus, which is a common behavior among people with ADHD. It’s basically when you’re motivated to do something to the exclusion of ALL other needs. She’s able to pay attention to the science videos because she has an intrinsic motivation to watch them…

Yeah, you could also use that information to incentivise your kids to manage their own play time. Give them generous amounts of play time and reward them if they voluntarily stop playing before time is up or before the curfew is hit, that sort of thing.

Does anyone else have a problem with their Joy-Cons not locking anymore? Mine come off just from trying to pick it up out of the dock half the time.

Exactly: But still.

This doesn’t excuse it even a little, but folks should know that “late elementary” in Japan is 6th grade, so he’s probably talking about 6th-8th graders.

You can just turn off your power source if your computer is in a hibernation or hybrid sleep mode.

I’m pretty sure that this task is intended to force a restart after an update when you tell it you’ll do it later (or update and restart in certain conditions), and it’s supposed to be disabled once it accomplishes that task (which is why it re-enables itself sometimes, likely the next update install). The fact that…

Parents occasionally come to me desperate to get their kids reading. I tell them what any reading or language-learning expert (or 6th grader) would tell them: Find something they WANT to read, then let them read it.
