I also find it funny that calling someone a retard is considered less acceptable than calling someone an idiot. Especially when examined under an ableist lens.

It isn't, at work we're in the process of evaluating how useful it can be and a bunch of people received Cursor licenses to test it out.

If you're trying to do something common it works great as long as you are concise enough. The moment you try to get it to do something obscure it starts failing miserably.

It is perfectly fair in the context of "fuel", a resource used to produce energy. Whether energy is generated via chemical or nuclear reaction is irrelavent in this case.

Yup, it's something I myself recently started to realise and have been forcing myself to read things that actually interest me.

While in elementary and middle school every 2 months we had a specific book we had to read and then would discuss it in class and would be graded based on our input.

Reading books and writing essays has been cemented in my mind as a boring chore that is forced upon me. It took years before it even occured to me that reading might be a fun activity, and a couple more before I actively started trying to read again. It's difficult to break away from the mould I've been set to during my childhood, but I'm slowly chipping away at it.

Children SHOULD read, but how can we get them to WANT to read?

I am a young person who doesn't read recreationally, and I avoid writing wherever I can. Thank you for sharing your insight as well as sparking an interesting discussion in this thread.
