The lawsuit was about the fact the school knew for months about the problem and did nothing to address it. If they plausibly couldn’t know, it wouldn’t have been their fault but this was reported to the admin repeatedly and they did nothing.

One of them was just found to have published comments in their college newspaper insisting that rape was only a crime if the woman was actively resisting. This is a dangerous move away from the current legal consent standard.They will re-define rape out of existence.

There’s always churn and turnover, I’ve been part of communities that lost up to 3 of the top 5 sites for something etc. and the community bounces back in a couple of months. Streaming sites aren’t horrifically difficult to set up so they will often reappear shortly with similar interface.

It sounds reasonable because at the core it’s a mental healthcare system, something this country threw away without a backup plan decades ago.

I was gonna say this was some high-quality bullshit but after this year I just assume RFK Jr. was involved somehow.

That would be the job the Congress’s Government Accountability Office. Having 2 totally seperate and independent orgs in charge of government efficiency is peak Trump logic.

They get charged as adults in court all the time. Girls of this age can get pregnant and in some places this makes them a legal adult regardless of age. Most places in the US they can get married. It’s hard to feel they are full children given all this.

Also, they can’t get treatment without parental consent, which is not true of most of the above.

Edit: and I forgot join the military! Statistically far more people regret their military service than their gender care.

A lot of these I remember learning from teachers rather than my parents. Also reinforced by other kids, assorted relatives, etc. Even good parents can’t protect you from the rest of society.

Oooo! Do Guaifenesin next! That also has basically no evidence of effectiveness despite being on the market for ages.

What you’re describing is called a citation or reference tree and they are used to visualize complex set of references. Web of Science has a nice one, Scopus also has a tree view, I believe. Google Scholar has the information to make one, but doesn’t.

Yes and no? You can’t buy the food at school with cash. So just opting out of the system isn’t possible.

Cash has to be taken to the cafeteria before lunch to be entered into the system so the kids need a special pass to run down and take care of it. Mine are really bad at remembering this and at the start of the year when every family is trying to put cash in, there can be massive delays.

The most interesting boggle about the new system is they didn’t include any way to transfer lunch balance between kids in the family and apparently that was a big issue for a lot of families. Seems that many people would give the cash deposit to the oldest kid and then use the old system to redistribute the money to the younger kids in the family later.

Yep! $2.25 for the “convenience” every transaction on the shady new app my school district picked this year. I’m supposed to be grateful they moved to an app this year that processes the payments quickly instead of the 1 school day lag the last app had.

It’s kinda more of a dairy and sandwich business with a gas station tacked on. Most of them didn’t even sell gas before 2000.

How do you get home internet service without a subscription? I’m down to try it.

Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He claimed he was getting it repeatedly and there’s evidence he did fuck all.

He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn’t a surprise.

As someone on the other side of this in just one private company of thousands:

I put out 2-3 job ads a month. Of those 1 will get past interviews to a negotiation phase, one will get stuck with a hiring manager who only wants to interview the perfect candidate, and one will be pulled for budget reasons and held to try again next month because the candidate for the first job asked for a little bit more money. We hire about half of the people who make it to negotiations.

My feeling is it’s that no one has any money to spend. Every company I can think of is desperately waiting to get paid so they can pay their own bills. Most contracts with the government were horribly delayed by the shutdowns last year and it’s been knock-on effects ever since.

Rabies vaccine is only made for a handful of animals. For example a vaccine is made for domestic sheep but not for domestic goats. Goats and sheep are closely enough related that goats owners have their animals vaccinated using the sheep vaccinations but since they have not been officially tested, you can’t say the animals have been vaccinated for rabies in a legal capacity so the petting zoo has a big sign about the rabies risk in goats.

I think this is mostly a case on NY state’s sick of people ignoring their wild animal laws and with NYC especially they can’t allow for people to just keep whatever animal they want and think it’s okay. If Peanuts owner had been licensed as an actual wildlife rehab, it would have been different but wildlife are not pets even when they are friendly.

Philly got some “means well” but mostly we have “having a good damn time” and “doesn’t give a fuck”. We’re not malicious, but we’re not sympathetic either.

I refuse to go backward too, but they overuled Roe, which my aunties told me would NEVER happen. So just not going back isn’t enough. We have to move forward.
