I never said it was the only cause. Ignoring it completely as a cause at all is both unscientific and bad reporting when it affects 1 in 5 households with kids.

He’s literally describing what people with functional illiteracy do to work around being unable to read at a working level. He’s describing it as an acceptable goal. Batshit crazy.

The only time I’ve ever had unsupervised exams was for take-home, open book (ie, harder) exams. Before now they just… left them all alone in a room with the test and expected no cheating?

Not a single mention of food insecurity or nutrition in student outcomes, despite the fact that BEFORE the economy went sideways due to this stupid ass war 20% of homes with children were food-insecure. Only the deepest level of reporting from the NYT 🙄

This used to be what nurse’s hotlines were for. I feel lucky my current insurance has one, my previous one was like ‘lol figure it out yourself.’

Also, when I call nurse’s hotlines most of the time the issue I’m worried about needs to be checked by a doctor anyway. I don’t feel confident AI would necessarily tell you there’s not a way you can DIY it.

I can’t believe it, I use that exact one!

Joke or accidentally not editing out all the coping in the draft?

Vance wants sick kids to die.

I don’t think you’re wrong in thinking it looks like the Shire, it looks a lot like earthworks to me. Could be ancient or modern, depending on where it was.

And also get to vote and have representation in the house and senate?

The PRIMARY hasn’t happened yet. Reel in the “noooo you can’t criticize democrats!!” until the actual election.

Where are all the fucking brain trusts that spent the last year telling me AI data centers aren’t actually that bad and it’s just like watching YouTube?

Given weed’s increasing legality it would be interesting to follow a human cohort and see if this holds true for people, too. I’ve kept 50+ pounds off for like 10 years? now and have been a daily user that entire time, it’s interesting to think that may have helped. Especially since I know studies say long term weight loss is uncommon.

Show me anything Greene has done to benefit the people she’s harmed. Talk is cheap.

Weaning off or greatly reducing oil usage will help in the long run. It’s just a matter of whether the lesson sticks or everyone goes right back to it if/when the strait opens.

Overturning Citizens United would go a long way.

I see so many of those disposed of on the street near a vape store and it drives me nuts.

Yes, but at least a septic system is underground and functioning most of the time. They’re living with it literally just pumped outdoors. It’s basically an automated chamber pot that’s getting dumped outside.

I was under the impression that the truly harmful part of CFCs was the F, given its higher reactivity and less natural presence as an ion in the environment.

Is it worse than having methane?
