The last part isn't always true. When I stopped teaching, I was able to get a plan from the same insurance company with a lower premium and with a deductible that was about 20% of the deductible that teachers have.

It's my understanding that there will be a total eclipse on April 8!

How do you give a shit about minority lives? You're defending Pinochet who led the coup in Chile and built concentration camps for political opponents. He followed in the footsteps of the nazis.

Did you roll the Mint into the manager's office with a note "looks like I'm rolling out of here!"

This technology has been in place in public spaces like airports for at least a decade. They claimed it was to fight terrorism by scanning and collecting models of everyone's face looking for known terrorists. They said that they could identify the terrorists because even with a disguise, you can't alter the shape of your facial bone structure.

I came across a company called Flower Turbines, they sell tulip-shaped wind turbines. They look nice and hopefully would do well on the energy front. They claim that their turbines start producing energy with just a touch over 1 mph winds.

It looks like it would be a cute way to generate clean energy.

Potatoes aren't native to Europe. Europeans first discovered the potato after traveling to the Americas.

You don't think it's important to teach how to prevent a prolapse or anal tearing/fissures? Or stress the importance of condom use in anal sex to prevent hepatitis?

We both agree that we shouldn't be teaching sexual positions and how to bring a partner to climax, bit I think we should be teaching kids how to safely have sex so they aren't hurting themselves.

Sounds like you learned a ton about straight sex, especially given that most sex Ed programs only tell students to abstain. You learned something about condoms, which I assume means that you learned how to put one on.

In most of the country, sex Ed is one video about puberty and then in health being told to abstain from sex to avoid pregnancy and STDs with detailed descriptions about the pain and torture of STDs.

It would be superhelpful if sex Ed programs were expanded upon your curriculum to dispel sex myths, like women can't get pregnant if they are on top or take a shower right after. It would also be good to discuss how to prevent harm during vaginal and anal sex.

It was a little under half of registered voters in TX, but that's still not good.

In 2022, there was about 21.8 million in the voting age population, 17.6 million were registered to vote, and only 8.1 cast a ballot.

In 2020 the numbers were 21.6 million voting age population, 17 million registered, and 11.3 million ballots.

If we hope to affect change in the country, people need to get out there and vote! Polls are open in TX for 12 hours for an entire week, but we still have people waiting to vote on the last day when there's a line.

Driving passed polling places and having lived in most of the metro areas of TX, I've never seem or heard of a line more than 15-20 minutes in the 2 weeks of early voting. It would be super beneficial too if we had momentum at the local level to push for some of the polling places to be open until 10 PM as is allowed by law.

It also plays into the rhetoric that Christians are being persecuted, like the early church. It makes them feels more connected to their scriptures and further deepens that emotional connection to their religion. Church is a massive endorphin/serotonin trip. Feeling more connected to the early church makes them feel more like Paul is writing directly to them, which pushes more endorphins. The music style that's become popular is pretty trance-like, which releases more endorphins and then when their high on the explosion of endorphins, the pastor comes in and weaponizes that feeling claiming that the gays or trans people or Muslims or the left or whoever they want to villanize are going to take that feeling away and persecute them just as the Romans did to the early church.

From how he's spoken through his campaigns until now, I wouldn't be surprised. He has a tremendous difficulty remembering the topic of a conversation and veers off wildly, often cutting off his own train of thought.

Overturning Roe didn't push the left to vote though. 2022 had terrible turnout, not that 2020 was great.

In TX in 2020 when everyone was rallying to vote out Trump, only ~52% of the Voting Age population cast a vote. Then in 2022 after Roe was overturned and knowing that all of the legislative branch and a large chunk of the judicial and executive branches were up for election, only ~37% of the Voting Age population turned out to vote.

I know that major elections without the presidential vote get less people, but that's a huge drop-off with everything at stake. That's even with 40 years of early voting in the state and a recent expansion of early voting where polls are required to be open at least 9 hours in week 2 and at least 12 hours in week 2 and the final day of voting.

I'm really concerned that we're going to have a republican president in 2024, there was at least some action from the left in 2020 to get rid of trunp (even if it wasn't enough to keep the house) but all that fire is gone.

Why don't you agree? There very been coverups with news stories for a long time.

Like how in 2014 Ebola was all over the news and was suddenly pulled from news coverage the day after the election. Other times there are random stories taking over the news and I looked into what was happening in Congress and the Republicans were pushing a bill that would be detrimental to the people of the US. Just as Fox uses smoke and mirrors with rage-baiting to entrance their viewers.

Why are people making such a big deal about this? We've had Alert testing for tornado sirens, radio, and tv for decades.

Usually this means something big happened that someone is wanting covered up. Makes me wonder if something big happened in one of the Trump cases or Congress.

I live in TX and we've had many Christmases at that temperature.

I think it's wrong to assume that man=financial duties and woman=domestic duties. That worked in the 50s because of rampant sexism, but that train of thought is long-since outdated. I get that power dynamic is ingrained into straight culture, but especially in the scenario you're talking about only serves to make the woman inferior to the man by making her clean for him even when they are both working. I always thought it was weird that men wouldn't learn to cook, if you really loved the ither person wouldn't you take the time to learn to cook at least a couple dishes to help out?

The two of you need to have a conversation about how your relationship will work. Talk about how the finances will be handled and how the chores will be handled. What works for tv couples may not work for y'all.

Do these people have the memory of an earthworm?

We've had regular testing of alerts over the radio and TV, as well as regular testing of sirens for decades.

I did it myyy waaayyy! 🎶

That's interesting, I didn't realize that a photograph counted as part of the directory information. I figured that was why photos are included in the list of items on the parent consent forms sent out every year.

It was my understanding (from admin, teacher professional orgs, and teacher unions) that pictures on websites and social media need consent to be posted. So we were told that any student without a consent form had to be edited out or blurred on any picture posted anywhere.
