I just wanted them to place me better classes. They were convinced I would be happier, or more likely, their job easier, if I was placed in all remedial classes. This is despite testing advanced proficient for science and average for math and despite my grade school recommending me for advance placement for science.

I was never interested in talking to them about career paths or any of the other “American Dream” lies. I wanted to do something good for the world with my years in college. They fucking hate that.

“You were right and the guidance counselors were wrong.”

Too late, but at least alternatives pop up more quickly here. I’m not going near any of the 196 coms, but it’s a good example of how little power bad mods here have.

I installed a blocker in firefox.

I’ve noticed a lack of “thathappened” type of stories. Either people here value their privacy or don’t feel the need to lie to farm nonexistent karma.

Isn’t that just a fig?

And why do you think that’s MY interpretation of a “wet market” or what my “demands” are?

I knew what these things are from before covid. The problem isn’t that they’re called “wet markets”. The problem is that the much lower food sanitation standards in China. Something that I will be complaining about very soon in the US. We already know RFK Jr.(or his brain worm) doesn’t seem to have any problems with the consumption of wild caught meat.

Neither does wet markets and bat soup by the way - that was just good old racism.

No, the wet markets are definitely an issue. There’s a lot of objectively unsanitary issues with these things.

Also, “lab leak” is intentionally vague. At the very least, there’s no signs in the genome that it was engineered. It’s statistically unlikely for a natural virus to have been discover, isolated in a lab, only for it to be leaked, but it’s possible, but unless the Chinese government comes forward, any claims that it escaped from a lab should be met with skepticism.

It was also timed by the organizers to be around when covid restrictions were already going to be getting lifted, so they could claim a victory while collecting donations.

I would specifically pick Fusion research.

Its Jame Bond level villainy

Quantum of Solace is about monopolizing a freshwater supply.

The cars at least could be hand waved that they could have been before Musk went maskoff, but the Cybertrucks, like the one pictured are from well after that and what I think we’re all talking about. Cybertruck owners are making a very different political statement compared to the early car owners.

Paint?

OG Nazis were bozos. They advanced people based on the shape of their face. How exactly do you think that would turn out in the long run?

Here’s Lazerpig dissecting the myth of Michael Wittmann for example.

Science is the same way, but you can teach in a way that alludes to more complex subjects without denying those subjects. I actually called out my HS physics teacher when he kept having to correct grade school science lessons. He couldn’t disagree with me that it’s probably better not to teach incorrect lessons just because the correct lessons were more complex.

They should have always been teaching to use Wikipedia as a beginning of research. Go to wiki, follow the cited sources and follow those cited searches if anything was referenced.

There was always a double standard though compared to something like the Encyclopedia Britannica. Pre-internet, for practicality, you couldn’t really check the cited sources on Britannica, so you took it as word of god. They’re a major publication! Huge money and people who wear suits and monocles wrote it! Posh British sounding name! How could they be wrong?

Except that when researchers compared Britannica to Wikipedia for inaccuracies, they found Britannica to contain a much higher rate. So why did Britannica keep being held in higher regard? Pure appeal to authority.

By the same civics teacher: All unions but teacher unions are obsolete. Welfare queens are having more kids just to collect more. Realestate only goes up. He also said that the Waltons(of Walmart) were second to fifth riches people in the world. I did fact check him with a Forbes printout on that one. I think there’s more neo-con bs that I’m forgetting at the moment.

Computer teacher: Your muscles contain memory cells and that’s now typists can type so fast. This was a very creative interpretation of “Muscle Memory”.

Media teacher: AM radio travels in beams and can go farther then FM radio that travels in waves.

School therapist: If you get into that harder class, you may fail and feel sad. Guess what? Now having succeed at someone else’s expectation, I feel sad all the time. That may have been the moment were I could have fixed the direction my life was taking if I pushed back. Chances are they would have come up with other reasons to deny me though.

Because it’s not marketed as a product. Apple isn’t trademarking “DS”.

hmmm. Lovingly made indie game vs AAA slop made on a crunch? At least with the indie games I play, even the quasi EA stuff, is stable as hell.
