If you make a Volkswagen fancy, you end up with an Audi

Or a Porsche. Or a Bentley. Or a laborghini. Or a Bugatti.

For clarity: this is based on piaac test results. The literacy test results are sorted into 6 categories (1-5 and <1) for comparing the distribution internationally. 54% of Americans score less than 3, compared to top-scoring Japan and top-english-speaking Australia at approximately 35% and 45%. The task description for level 3:

Adults at Level 3 are able to construct meaning across larger chunks of text or perform multi-step operations in order to identify and formulate responses. They can identify, interpret or evaluate one or more pieces of information, often employing varying levels of inferencing. They can combine various processes (accessing, understanding and evaluating) if required by the task . Adults at this level can compare and evaluate multiple pieces of information from the text(s) based on their relevance or credibility. Texts at this level are often dense or lengthy, including continuous, noncontinuous, mixed. Information may be distributed across multiple pages, sometimes arising from multiple sources that provide discrepant information. Understanding rhetorical structures and text signals becomes more central to successfully completing tasks, especially when dealing with complex digital texts that require navigation. The texts may include specific, possibly unfamiliar vocabulary and argumentative structures. Competing information is often present and sometimes salient, though no more than the target information. Tasks require the respondent to identify, interpret, or evaluate one or more pieces of information, and often require varying levels of inferencing. Tasks at Level 3 also often demand that the respondent disregard irrelevant or inappropriate text content to answer accurately. The most complex tasks at this level include lengthy or complex questions requiring the identification of multiple criteria, without clear guidance regarding what has to be done

I could not find which source originally cited level 2 as "6th grade" equivalent, though the oecd recommends against drawing that parallel.

Thought you were just shitposting with that name...

Now I just wish you were.

Neither protecting or serving are actual job requirements.

Coherent units best units.

Oddly enough... It's pretty similar.

Which does not preclude him also eating 1/6 each of Martha's, Denise's, and Sam's pizzas.

Dangerous myths:

You have to aim a shotgun.

Shotguns remain deadly through a significant amount of drywall.

Quick question: where else is "the people" interpreted to mean "ostensibly the states, but ultimately the federal government for all practical purposes. Either way, definitely not individual persons."?

And it's generally illegal to operate a gun in public...

Not true. Marty could have also eaten pizza that was not his.

Mind-blowing!

Devil's advocate: was this on Android? Certain wifi/Bluetooth information requires "location" permissions.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW

Took me a minute. Deviled eggs.

Funnily enough, I was going to make this same comment. But then I saw that the serving size is 41 g with 12g of sugar so...

One thing that I think causes a big divide in perceptions of autism is that most people perceive it almost exclusively from one side of the spectrum or the other.

Around 1 in 30 kids will have a little more difficulty adapting to society... It's good to recognize their needs and support their growth.

No, wanting to prevent/treat/manage a profound and debilitating disease isn't genocide.

Shitting bricks.

The "reverse" here is in the context: "parental controls" is conventionally allows parents to restrict offspring.
