  • The push back from the residents is a bit of knee jerk reaction, it’s them saying “treat our city like an amusement park, fine, pay like you’re visiting an amusement park”.

    A complex issue boiled down to one phrase.

  • I didn’t mean to imply to drop everything and look. But as something that should be noted and mentioned to someone who could find that info. Healthcare care isn’t a solo sport. I am aware of the laws and protocols.

    I say this as someone who has been in this situation.

  • We stood up during the anti Iraq war protests, occupy Wall Street, blm, pro-choice, marched for lgbtq rights, human rights, the environment.

    We’re burned out because (mostly) nothing changed or got worse… also busy working to the bone to be able to afford to go to work tomorrow.

    Perfect consumer because everything we need to buy is designed to fail and not be repairable.

  • I say next Saturday for the Saturday that will occur soonest.

    If someone waiting at a bus stop asks me which bus goes to the train station, I say the “the next one”. Meaning the one that will appear first at the bus stop, not the one after that. Which makes sense for days of the week too, to me anyway.

    I am always being corrected, though.

  • I don’t understand much here.

    You’re struggling in self taught high school geometry, but tested out at CC.

    You took HS, CC, and online intro to biology classes all at the same time.

    The CC wouldn’t let you run experiments due to lack of facilities.

    You are used as an expert judge in competitions in your (unknown) field.

    You want to maximize time in a college or university research lab.

    I’ll say this, you most likely won’t be in a lab much as an undergraduate, so don’t worry about transferring as a freshman. Why not ask all the friends and acquaintances in the research labs for advice and help? If that’s where you’d like to end up?

    Also, if you can already enroll in the college, then they, and no one, cares about your academic past- especially high school…

  • It all started with a dude looking at skulls, he saw one that was the most symmetrical, the best looking skull he ever saw. He decided it must belong to a white European, as they are the best people (/s). He finds out that the skull was that of a person from the Caucus mountains.

    Caucasian has been used to describe the ‘superior’ white Europeans since. So, OP is using the word correctly really. They say African, Asian, Latino because those are other races… with unpleasant skulls.

    This is a gross oversimplification, but one of the modern excuses for racism and race superiority. Also, why ‘Caucasian’ is used to say white European.

  • Depends on the town. I grew up in and went to college in a small town - pop. 16,000 ish. It was the reverse, students came for mostly 3 reasons; it was as far from home and still pay in state tuition, it was (is?) a quirky place where no one really cared how high you flew your freak flag, or to for the pot.

    The college brought in diversity and employment, but wasn’t really the identity of the place.

  • If you don’t mind a rogue, a rake, a real scoundrel (anti hero even) I’d say the Flashman books.

    George Macdonald Frasier’s series of historical fiction.

    Flashy is, by his own admission, not a good person, but a fun easy read.
