ADHD: Can’t have just one thought (That’s my reasoning anyway).

¿Por qué no los dos?

You can pry my em dashes — which I use regularly in writing because I love them — from my cold dead hands (To be fair, I really like parenthetical statements too, could be an ADHD thing).

If you whittled a device to clean stuck items from your teeth out of a penis bone and gave it to someone as a surprise gift, would that make it an Unsolicited Dick Pic?

Is this a necromancy guide?

I don’t expect other people to understand this but I do expect you to understand this. We started this journey together.

My voice is my passport, verify me.

Not quite the same, but my favorite:

Can you pull up a bookmarked item to read when you don’t have an active network connection? If yes, that’s a “read it later” service. If no, then that’s why they are useful.

This is why I’ve started reading one book, listening to a different audio book in my right earbud and streaming someone doing a YouTube read a loud in the other Earbud. Burning through that TBR…

This was in Minneapolis earlier this year and the demand was through the roof.

In the states I’ve lived in, Junior High and Middle school are both synonymous with grades 6-8

That was what I was referring to. I was being a bit hyperbolic, but a year in national service (beyond just the military) to do community service and gain skills in general not a new proposal. Pete Buttigieg suggested it after HS as part of his candidacy during the 2020 democratic primary.

That’s fair. In my district your insurance is covered if you qualify for assistance, but intentional damage isn’t included in insurance.

In my school we will still replace the Chromebook though (barring admin or district saying otherwise), and the financial impact will be fought by others at the district level. It’s above my pay grade.

Yes they are. These 9th graders are feral though. That realization would require forethought.

Some of these kids should have been sent out to cut trail for a year between HS and Middle School.

Great set of books! Love them.

The rise of authoritarianism and nationalism is happening in multiple countries like Hungary, Russia, China, and the U.S. Parties like AfD have grown in strength in the last 20 years, thanks in part to the ability of social media companies to prioritize “engagement” to enable them to make more money over societal health.

I was surprised how poorly they still did as a chatbot vs ELIZA over after 50 years of potential progress and how revered they are in certain contexts.
