True, but Feudalism hasn't been a powerhouse of global politics as of late.

Each person's hell is unique and personalized just to them. Lemmy already has this ability to create your own hell built into its core design philosophy. Hell is whatever you make it.

Because the public school funding comes from public taxpayer money. This means the school does not get to choose how to spend it since the money belongs to the people. The people have voted and greenlit several pre-approved items for schools to spend money on, but anything outside of that needs to be approved by a vote.

Getting people to vote on this item is a Heraclean effort to say the least. Education budget often is the least immediately impactful thing on the ballot, if it makes it that far. Especially in states with strong traditional religious areas. For example, Puritans don't believe that sports are something that kids should take seriously cuz it's a game (literally something along the lines of: Games can be pleasurable, seeking pleasure is sin you should only seek God, therefore games are sinful). They don't want their taxes going towards such sinful programs so they will always vote against it. This perspective is rooted in zealous obedience and is not something other people are willing to fight against.

TL;Dr It's easier for schools to just get private funding themselves and sidestep the public budget restrictions, than it is to get a majority in the voting pool to approve the vote and implement new school budget item.

I rolled the dice once a day every day for 8 months and then I finally rolled a 12 which proves the dice can learn. Checkmate atheists.

Real fans would find a way to wait for the game to go on sale for $2.

I use American English for the superior compression algorithms and the more extensive import features.

Ahhh, so we're gestating our young in the corpses of their mothers now? That seems less than ideal.

I can't say for certain, but I'll take a stab at an answer that isn't just "to cut costs obviously lmao".

Part of the purpose of these ecological initiatives is to figure out ways to do things at scale without the need for industrial waste/pollution.

Second, it is best practice in most any industry to create and optimize the process by hand BEFORE figuring out how to optimize it with heavy industry. If you begin the design under the handicap of a machine, then your entire design is founded on that crutch. You can always incorporate machinery, but it's often more difficult to remove it from any process once it's been integrated.
