It’s quite telling that when you jump to conclusions as to what I meant, you end up at an extreme take.

We’ll have to keep that in mind next time your countries are invaded after years of appeasement.

That flag should be upside down

27:1 kd would be accused of cheating in video games.

Or smurfing.

Yeah. There was a coal plant near where I live that was around for decades, toured in years ago for a school field trip. It was shutdown years ago and has since been leveled. No turning that back on.

What’s left of the coal industry is mostly automated these days. The only people who benefit from this stuff are the people who own the mines.

The issue here, beside being a sample of one is that you immediately paid so other factors could be in play.

He was always a racist.

Based on accounts I’ve read, he was always racist and an anti-intellectual. He just got more bold. He was a very early Trump supporter.

She was a lesbian. That negates the whiteness and then some apparently.

“There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy-handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around.”

What the fuck.

This dipshit literally thinks it should be our lives in danger. These people deserve everything coming to them.

Modern day siren.

Tuesday is tacos, Wednesday will be grilled cheese with tomato soup and Thursday will be spaghetti.

I could prepare meals for the next several weeks with what is on hand, dependent on how many people I’m feeding.

Good idea. 5% isn’t an appropriate amount. It needs to be at least a 101% tax on anything over a billion applied each year.

That context doesn’t change the reality. It is abuse. It’s normalized for you but it’s still not abused.

Being able to use critical thinking skills to predict where the abuse might stem from is good, it means you haven’t internalized it.

You are depressed and need to speak to a therapist, internet stranger or whatever. The important part is it needs to be someone that is not close to your family so they can offer an honest assessment of your situation as you experience it.

From there you can build up what you’ve already established and gain a solid perspective of the situation and from there create a plan to remove yourself from the situation and begin healing.

If you’re blaming others for your negativity via voice or action then you are abusing them.

It is abuse. Sounds like it too but it is also absolutely abuse.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Possible because people want to ignore their lack of control in raising children.

The only method is to teach them what ai slop is to teach them why to avoid it.

Anyone who is just trying to control it via bans are creating a situation where their children will hide their access to ai slop.

Other kids parents do not care and those kids will happily share their unrestricted access with any kids with the most restricted environment.

It’s surprising how easily some adults forget all the random ways they got around their own parents rules when they were the children.

Never in my adult life have I taken a survey/test that would generate the statistics like this that we always see

These are statistical models they aren’t asking everyone or anything even close. It’s based on random samplings and I found two of these one that operats at the international level another at the federal level

There is an article about the later one’s results, it tested more than reading level. here

These studies aren’t done by organizations that want to denigrate, they want to raise awareness and improve everyone’s reading levels.

This and other articles are because it’s humans nature to make oneself feel superior to others but the reality is some of the people in this very thread may be classified as one of those in a sixth grade level. Statistically it’s all but certain.

You were probably thinking of state funding. That’s often right around 43% with the rest being local funding.
