Spikes have never been my style, so forgive the potentially obvious question. Don’t these snag on everything and annoy the hell out of you? Sometimes, the hairtie I keep on my wrist catches on something, and it is the worst (mild inconvenience). Maybe the spikes make you more intentional with your movements, or more patient?
I’ve been considering this as my New Years Resolution. I’m ashamed that I might be too weak to go through with it. The convenience is just so…manipulative and infantilizing. I am perfectly capable of buying anything I need from a physical store front.
Not that the actions of the Taliban ever “make sense,” but doesn’t having less trained midwives lead to a decrease in population caused by pregnancy complications? This is just additional cruelty to women with absolutely no benefit.
This is such a terrifying and sad way to go. Just looking for her cat. Probably trying to bring it inside to be warm since it is winter out.
Sinkholes are such a sneaky and unexpectedly scary thing. There are so many horrors mother nature can throw at us - earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, wildfires. And yet, a small unseen hole in the ground can lead to a massive cavern.
Bring it on! This show is fantastic. Had no idea where it would go next during every scene of season 1. I feel like we finally got some morsels of what is actually going on, and I can’t wait to see what happens to the outies after that finale.
It feels like there is absolutely no winning against PFAS with the corporations in control. Every new study shows that the things we interact with daily are killing us. I am very glad that some nice yachts and summer homes were purchased for our collective health, though.
Also, floss? In pregnancy and while breastfeeding, women are more likely to develop dental problems and it’s more important than ever to floss. I guess it makes sense to use the cotten thread floss and not the plastic stuff.
Such a great city to visit during the Christmas season!
So we are just going to speed run the downfall of the middle and lower classes? Buckle up kids, this shit is about to get scary.
The struggle is for nothing? If you went to a school with grade deflation to ‘maintain the integrity of education’? Get fucked, party schools will pass kids or allow kids to grade grub to a higher GPA.
Academia is such a fucking game.
No company is capable of moderating all of the things a parent wants to keep from a child. That has to be a household controlled issue, and it takes a lot of work to monitor what your kid is doing. It is the same as anything connected to the internet. Some people are crazy/mean/bad influences/dangerous. No moderation will be perfect, so it is more important to understand what your kid is doing and give them guidance. Otherwise, ban them from interacting entirely.
I attended schools that had pretty abysmal math teachers and curriculums. When I eventually slogged my way to the upper level math courses in college for an engineering degree, I was so frustrated with my early education. I feel that so many years were wasted going over the basics, and in reality kids are way more capable of grasping math concepts at a young age than the US education system normally allows for.
Like this article states, we don’t need to be teaching calculus in middle school. But there are principles and general concepts that can begin much earlier. I find a lot of kids now hate math by high school, and I feel strongly that is because we as a society are dramatic about the ‘difficult high school courses’. With good teachers, it is entirely possible to introduce concepts at a younger age so that the jump from learning a number line to algebra, geometry and calculus doesn’t feel so massive.
What a glorious mustache.
If you are the principal of a school, your highest priority has to be the well-being of students. Looks like he and other members of the school administration sat on this info for months. Problems don’t just go away, especially when your job is explicitly involved with the disciplining and protection of children.
I love how you can see the structure evolved throughout it’s life.
Trump and his cronies will weaponize anything they can to get their way. Better not give them any more power.
I have noticed the general public is now very tolerant of sweet drinks. I know that is not the only problem. I was never allowed soda or coffee or sweet tea growing up, so don’t have much of a tolerance for them now. But when I try popular coffees (pumpkin spice this or vanilla chai that) or cocktails at most restaurants, I am surprised that people don’t send them back and ask for less sweetener.
As an infrequent treat, I can understand it. But if you are drinking that much sugar on a daily basis, it must seriously screw with your system. I am sure lots of people are drinking a huge amount of calories and don’t register how different that is from past generations.
Agreed. She has no frame of reference for what the overwhelming majority of the population calls work.
It’s not that I expected much. But it honestly feels like his picks are made up of people who elbowed their way to the front of the line to suck his dick and sing his praises. Not one seems to have merited the position they are now going to hold.
It makes me so disillusioned with the government. I used to feel like public office was held by intelligent, impressive people. I may have disagreed with them, but they at least laid out arguements and had some semblance of a strategy.
I never thought I was anywhere near capable of holding a position like that. Now though, I genuinely feel like if I just shouted the “right” things loudly enough, I could be in the inner circles of our nations government. That prospect is fucking terrifying.
Celebrities are out of touch. No matter if they were nepo babies or genuinely started off like the rest of us. After a few years in that world, they are convinced that the work they do merits millions of dollars. There is no way for that money to not warp the brain.
This is awesome! Kinda janky on mobile for me but still cool. this representation of data makes the massiveness of human history seem much smaller. Somehow the Renaissance doesn’t seem that long ago.
