Well I can tell where you're at here. Kids are not struggling because of global warming or fascism or doge. Good god. Since 2013 we're literally putting crack in their hands. Done. And this notion that 'omg the parents should monitor...' lol. The schools 'provide' them with the screens to do this. Take the crack away. Done.

I am a chemist who was looking to get into education around 2017 +/- a bit. I enrolled into a local universities education program, tested almost perfect in my content area, and had the department head and several others excited to bring me into the fold. Two things turned me off. One, and I'm paraphrasing, but sent the biggest red flags ever was something like; an eskimo, an african american, and a white student.... cut. I'm done. The other was in a lecture being told that 'studies show' technology in the classrooms lead to better outcomes, everything's great, etc.. And maybe that's true if you can control for what a student does with 'technology'. But it was a blind acceptance based on perfect educational outcomes with no regard to how that 'technology' could otherwise be used. All my kids have school chromebooks. Most of their time is not spent on school work. Duh.

Another country's unfettered AI.

Your TV doesn't have an addictive feedback mechanism. All of modern history is 'here's this next great thing' followed by mass profiteering adoption. And years or decades later we say stuff like 'Oh, that depletes the ozone layer'. We're in the mass profiteering adoption phase of 'phones' (what percent of usage is as a phone lol), and we already know that the profiteering comes from increasing engagement (addiction). We don't even know the extent of the negative effects of this technology but if you say it's the same as x, y, z that came before you're pleading ignorance.

God this place is no better than a bot farm. Headline goes to "... trumpf" .. e-high fives, etc. The next great war will be fought between media addicted media psychosis affected persons vs. those who actually live in the physical world. I miss this place 20 yrs ago. Well... Trump I guess. Though he's never been here, it's been all of you.

Neat game. Unfortunately this is true. Single women having multiple babies with multiple men are how black people game the system. There's not much you can do to fight it, and it's easier to go with the flow since you need to pick your battles. Did I do ok? All systems get gamed. The difference with 'white people' is that a whole medical community is complicit in this and we could start looking there with regards to dubious medical diagnoses.

Is generally not definitive. All the autism research can say they haven't found a cause for vaccines to cause autism, so far. The phrase 'vaccines don't cause autism' is unscientific. This, however, shifts the proof of burden to those who want to draw a link between vaccines and autism. Show your proof. Until then this is an open discussion. Trump 'supporter' and scientist.

This is especially concerning due to the ever decreasing levels of public land available. I hunt and participate in wildlife conservation. The North American model of conservation has been the most successful of any other model in the world. Sure, many species suffered before regulations were in place. But, since then we've brought several species (whitetail deer, turkey) from the brink of extinction and from the Pittman-Robertson act the participants contribute to the conservation of wildlife and public lands. The ever reducing volume of public land threatens access to participate in this conservation. It also further cements the wider public's need for a commercial solution for something as simple as food. I don't depend on hunting to feed my family, but we eat wild game year-long a couple nights a week. Currently, I have a sense of food security for my family because I participate in a regulated natural system that anyone can participate in. With the increasing development of land and further lack of opportunities for future generations the only option is to depend on commercial systems. The lands held in trust for the public should not be allowed to dwindle forcing a profitable wedge to be driven between people and the land they have natural rights to.

So this means that contact tracing based on exposure to people who've tested positive is pointless now, right? Or at least the proposed forced separation based on a positive test.

Now I just need a handle. Was thinking UltraLazer.

I can attest, when the woods assume natural sounds of 'chatter' and being, squirrels are active. If a person, or bird, or another animal, or whatever, alerted, they will become alerted as well. During this time they'll hunker down, sometimes in place by flattening themselves on the limb they stand, for 20-30 min until 'normal' activity resumes. That's why sometimes, if a hunter suspects being detected, they take two quarters with the ridges on the outside, and rub them together. This is a good imitation of the sound of squirrels cutting (eating) various nuts. It relaxes the squirrels and encourages them to resume normal behavior. Same with some aggressive rustling of leaves, imitates the sound of a squirrel burying or foraging. TL;DR Natural sounds are relaxing, but they also know when other species become alerted to a threat and act accordingly.

A physiological theory for something that's been observed and widely believed true, that it's easier to regain lost muscle size/strength than to develop the same for the first time. I wonder over what timeframe this effect could be observed, months, years? Interestingly, this is also an argument against transgender athletes, who were born male but transition to female, competing in female competition. Even though you may be on hormone therapy to get a few markers within a certain range, your training history as a male still provides an unfair advantage as muscle satellite cells will still contribute to strength and hypertrophy even with varying hormone levels.

So this it the first step in assimilating.

I just call after hours and explain that my blt drive just went awol. Not sure what this means but they're usually tripping over themselves to help me with whatever information I need.

The application fee was variable depending on location. Some were $35 some were much lower. Also, they didn't reach the goal of half of a million applicants. This put them below their forecast funds from applications. Sorry can't find source.
