Every time I’ve opened an Office app this week it has given me some copilot welcome screen and opened it’s own sidebar. I tried to use it to proofread a word doc and got prompted to purchase a license. So they basically just filled 1/3 of my screen with an ad.

My city of only 20k people in Texas has a similar app. Not sure what’s going on in California

I recently set up a new GitHub account and it had the same crap. And you have to get 3 in a row correct. I got so frustrated and I was cursing enough that my wife came into my office to make sure I was okay.

I don’t imagine it would be difficult to figure out, especially if you know someone’s address.

I could understand that if they were an overseas company, but they are from the US. That had to be one of the most incompetent customers service reps ever.

IEP ensure that all children receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restricted way possible. Unless you want kids with special needs just shoved in a special education classroom until their 18, they are absolutely necessary.

As a parent of a child with special needs, all of this scares the crap out of me. The second the department of education is gone so will the enforcement of the IDEA act. And that is the only thing keeping states like the one I live in from providing these services. It is already hard enough to get schools to do what they are supposed to. I’ve had to threaten a lawsuit against ours, and it’s one of the better school districts.

The second they don’t have to provide for these kids they will shove them in the deepest darkest hole and leave them there until they age out.

At least they give you a slip button, unlike Paramount+

The problem here is you are trying to resolve the problem. The thing is Republicans don’t want to solve the immigration issues. They want to use immigrates as scape goats, distractions, and hot button issues that get their base riled up.

swing justice

Kids these days will have no idea what that is

Since the US never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, they can still call it a Reich

I was arguing about locking immigrates in cages and separating families with a religious person and told them the verse

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born.

He then told me that was a mistranslation. That foreigner really meant someone from the next town over, but not from another country.

Of course because they are some of the “good ones”
