A full quote and some context would help. Sounds to me like you misheard / misread him, but he says all kinds of whacky shit while trying to popularize science so anything’s possible. Most galaxies seem to have supermassive blackholes at their center.

Nobody here is against disruption. Nobody here is adding their voice in support of failure. Cozy or otherwise, there is no consensus on that. The issue is your absolute faith that yours is the one true answer to the very real and very legitimate problems of public education which can and should be improved upon. Your view won’t work and it’s not fear or emotional attachment to the existing system causing me to tell you this plainly. You’re trying to treat an enormously complex system as a spherical cow, and you’re obstinate in the face of valid criticisms and concerns, trying to wave away feedback like some religious zealot. It’s a shame the school system failed you so miserably, but your proposal is no solution. I bet you wouldn’t even allow funding of the humanities. Sad really that someone as clearly intelligent as you can’t seem to see the enormous gaps and problems with this idea. Cozy consensus of failure. Give me a break and get off the soapbox already, preacher. With all this grinding, one would think your axe must be plenty sharp by now, yet it still fails to even cut mustard. Tell me you’ve never been around large groups of children without telling me you’ve never been around large groups of children 😂 Strange then that countries without universal healthcare also locked down. Were they also trying to protect your NHS?? Such an obviously flawed premise. One among many being spouted from your Randian pulpit. We’ll try to do better next time, preacher. Praise be!

Interesting how that’s half of 216. Perhaps a reference to this?

Where everyday just feels like Blursday. I believe the correct word for our OP is languishing.

I did, however, recently find some on clearance at JoAnn’s https://www.joann.com/astrological-cotton-canvas-fabric/18321687.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw0N6hBhAUEiwAXab-TTn-mCraW03z3MTILFdCdmJlRLMRnJpL9SJ152yyI1RlYN2K1JBdfxoC5U8QAvD_BwE

Faith sadly fails repeatedly when compared against reality

Stamps, but I reckon it’s easier to measure successful delivery of a parcel than successful rearing and enablement of a child, themselves a critical piece of the societal and economic puzzle.

Forgive me, but I'm not willing to allow our children's education to rely on gofundme This isn't a true market. "Shoppers" of education can't just move to different states. They have jobs, and families, and other things making the "shop around" concept you're relying upon a complete distraction. "Don't like your education? Just move to Finland!" It's not something which either scales (there are 50 MILLION students enrolled in US public schools) nor is it an accessible option to most (who on average have less than $1000 available to use even in dire emergencies). This is some Ayn Rand level of unrealistic fantasy silliness being shown here.

It runs into similar problems as private medical insurance. The focus becomes on increased margins and profits regardless of patient outcomes. Surely, this approach would do the same… squeezing costs at the expense of pupil preparation and readiness to contribute in a modern economy. It’s small minded. Missing forest for trees. Seems simple on paper, but is more of a preconceived conclusion in search of cherry picked supporting evidence instead of evidence in support of more effective outcomes.

I believe the gut microbiome is implicated, and likely further activated by brain activity / focus type. What we believe and think has an enormous impact on what we feel and what our bodies do. For comparison, think about how the likelihood of elderly death spikes tremendously when a lifelong spouse of decades passes away and the surviving spouse remains. That surviving spouse tends to die within a year or three, almost without fail. That same feeling of loneliness and depression which leads to death can similarly lead to health outcomes when the feeling is replaced by "hope" or "belief that medication is helping." The mechanism seems to be neurotransmitter flows and volumes, and the impact of the gut, but I'll defer to our biological experts here in case I've misstated or over exaggerated anything in error.

It's unreasonable. Similar to why they no longer put 8-track players into cars being manufactured today.

Shorter posts focused on relevant points would go a long way to being better understood and potentially more convincing. Fundamentally though, I believe your idea is rather wrongheaded, however your posts are so needlessly long that I can’t really be certain. Already happens via remote learning and online learning channels similar to Khan Academy. The best instructors can reach many thousands of students across the globe. Just recall that different students will react differently to these teachers and there’s no one size fits all.

Here in Iowa, the Governor just signed legislation redirecting tax dollars to private schools. They inflate their grades by refusing to accept students with learning challenges or who require special assistance. They can also reject students who don’t meet their academic standards which also allows them to claim better results than public schools who can do neither of those things (and who now have lower revenues here).

Bible.

Whether or not this idea makes the system better depends entirely on how narrowly you define “better” and which metrics you arbitrarily choose to measure it.

Your conclusions seem oddly rigid and unmalleable despite your repeated acknowledgements regarding just how little you've read or understand about what's actually happening here in each of the various cases. You seem to have an opinion in search of cherry-picked facts to bolster it instead of having a desire to understand and searching for verifiable sources to inform yourself. It's as if you prefer faith and believe that "my ignorance is just as good as your learning" is the best approach to comprehending these events. It's odd, really. Answers are readily available to these questions and details, and you're interacting with people who have taken the time to explore and better understand them... people who are willing to share what they've learned with you to help you be better informed.

I reckon that rather depends on the woman and how attractive she is. I’ve known plenty of women that desperately wanted to get laid and could not, basically because they had the wrong genes and had the audacity to be born to the wrong parents. (And rather often made the problem worse through poor self-care, awful diet, lack of hygiene regimen, etc.)

Adding more friction to new member participation isn’t conducive with growing online communities. More harm than good comes by pursuing such an approach, and it would be a repetitive recurring daily annoyance and burden to the people volunteering their time here.

That would certainly add to the weight of the case, yes. However, they also have video evidence of his team removing documents to hide and keep them AFTER they’d already been subpoenaed, apparently after he specifically ordered them to do so. So in addition to the obvious national security implications, that also makes it an easy obstruction of justice charge. So many commenters and talking heads keep saying this is all only happening bc he’s Trump, which is half true bc anyone else who had done these things would’ve been locked up already long ago. The law should apply equally to all, but he’s been given special treatment at every turn.

It’s because this crime was committed specifically in the furtherance of other crimes. The crimes were being bootstrapped, consequently now the charges can be too. Correct. The election law violations are coming from the state of Georgia, but just weren’t yet ready to have their day in court. NY was just ready to present their case sooner. There’s also then the federal issues with January 6 and top secret document stealing being pursued by special prosecutors.

I understand

One of the true “what’s next?” stories around GPT-4 and related large language models is the explosion of easier spam and automated selling activities like these.
