The orphan-crushing machine is just a tool. You can also use it to mulch puppies and purée kittens.
Why are you angry? You can use it for harmless tasks like making mashed potatoes. You eat mashed potatoes don't you? Yes, admittedly it leaks machine oil into the potatoes, but they're working on that. It leaks so much less oil than it did when you tried it three months ago. In a year from now it's going to be a Michelin-starred chef.
Well, that’s typical, gatekeeping by telling people they should have to learn to cook. You don’t think people who can’t cook deserve good food?
So what if the machine is powered by slave labor? That's innovation. You're just scared you're going to be one of them. Besides, it's inevitable. Nobody is going to crush orphans by hand any more. You're going to get left behind.
Oh, well there you go with your ridiculous purity culture again.

@mathew Well of course it crushes the potatoes using orphans. It's right there in the name. But they're all crushed up now, so it hardly counts, right?

@mathew purity is overrated on all sides

@markhurst imagine being the kid picked for this picture

@skua @markhurst There are lots of confounding variables other than laptops and tablets, yet we always see articles like this and almost never on the other factors. Yeah, a lot of this predates Covid, but there is a general lack of willingness to even consider or acknowledge the effects of this disease on children and the culpability that schools, school boards and society at large have in not making every effort to reduce exposure in an environment they are forced into.

@markhurst Tablets were supposed to complement textbooks, not replace them entirely!

@skua @markhurst Show me graphs of Maine's classroom teacher to student ratios for the last fifteen years. Show me teacher pay and average educational achievement. Show me child poverty rates. Show me data on kids needing food assistance and whether they are getting it. Show me vaccination rates.
