Give me a factory job please. Give me a 9-5 with health insurance that pays me enough to live.

Flipping through your other comments - ever considered that the problem might be your personality?

Where are you having random gay men telling you how well they suck cock? Did you accidentally install Grindr?

To sum up - because I taught this to a kid yesterday - for a period, basically all life photosynthesized and oxygen was toxic to most living things. There were large growths of photosynthetic Cyanobacteria that pumped the air full of oxygen. Living things at the time (like, bacteria and microbes, nowhere near vertebrates) couldn’t handle all the O2 and died.

Iron had been taking in most of the oxygen, but it got all rusted up. There’s beautiful geological evidence of this.

This pic sexy as fuck:

If Obama had said “fuck” in office, wouldn’t have been 24/7 for two weeks on Fox News?

Behind the Bastards re-aired their series on Border Control recently.

One of the stories is border control agents trading a woman for basketball tickets.

Where do I go then?

I will be homeless in October. If I am homeless, I will kill myself. I already know how cops will treat me.

Tbh, all I want is a single room apartment, a full time job, and access to medical care. If the monarchy can give me that, I’ll shut off all socials and shut up. I am not going to be alive if I am here in October.

Rainbow Railroad does not help individuals in the US, because if a cop murders me, it’s still technically illegal.

I have already contacted Translifeline, and they were not able to help me either.

You asked a question, I gave an answer. I’m not sure where you get “condescending” there. I was assuming you had read an academic text, so I was hoping that you might have seen those patterns before.

You would look at the data for gaps, as my answer explained. You could use logic to predict some gaps, but not all gaps would be predictable. Mendeleev was able to use logic and patterns in the periodic table to predict the existence of germanium and other elements, which data confirmed, but you could not logically derive the existence of protons, electrons and neutrons without the later experimentations of say, JJ Thompson and Rutherford.

You can’t just feed the sum of human knowledge into a computer and expect it to know everything. You can’t predict “unknown unknowns” with logic.

You have to have data to apply your logic too.

If it is raining, the sidewalk is wet. Does that mean if the sidewalk is wet, that it is raining?

There are domains of human knowledge that we will never have data on. There’s no logical way for me to 100% determine what was in Abraham Lincoln’s pockets on the day he was shot.

When you read real academic texts, you’ll notice that there is always the “this suggests that,” “we can speculate that,” etc etc. The real world is not straight math and binary logic. The closest fields to that might be physics and chemistry to a lesser extent, but even then - theoretical physics must be backed by experimentation and data.

Adult males were fathers of 24.3% of babies born to mothers aged 11-12 years. The mean age of fathers was 22.7 years. Adult males were fathers of 26.8% of babies born to mothers aged 13-14 years.

My teenage mother didn’t marry my father (she was 15, he was in his twenties), but she did immediately find another guy to marry and get knocked up by. She was so fucked up by this that she told me that my biological father was an entirely different adult man (who she had never had sex with but had a crush on). If I had been born male, then she would have named me after a classmate she thought was cute.

In most of the southern states, having sex with children is legal if you marry them first. (And minors can’t file for divorce!)

I feel like Salvation Army pillows are going to be gross and hard to clean - might pick up bed bugs. Thrifting the stuffing/pillow forms and sewing them into t-shirts makes something quick and comfortable.

I’m sad that Alan Wagner is using AI. Love his work most of the time.

Often people have jobs which involve computers, which force them to use whatever software the 90 year old running the company thinks is appropriate.

Y’all know that spiders can climb right?

And that spiders often make webs that look like this? Famously, funnel spiders?

I married a trust fund kid and then got saddled with his credit card debt after he dumped me.

Got to go on nice expensive vacations, ate ridiculous food on the top of Harrod’s in London. Now I’m making pillows out of old t-shirts because I don’t have a mattress.

The big lesson I learned is that it actually does not matter how smart, talented or hard working you are. It’s about having rich family.

Missionary trips are often glorified vacations. “Voluntourism.”

High school/college kids come over, build a school and then bounce. It would be better if that money was spent hiring local people to build that school. It relies on this racist thinking that somehow those poor Black or South American or whatever people are too stupid to know how to build things/survive, and they need some random white kids to come in and safe the day.

It’s for show, it’s to make the “missionaries” feel good about themselves and get some nice profile pictures instead of actually doing anything.

There are cases of “hospitals” being started by random people with no medical training - one I’m thinking of killed lots of babies. Somehow a random unqualified white person is just better and smarter, that they can fix all the problems.

It’s such a fucking farce. The real problems of the global south are that the centuries of exploitation and colonialism destroyed those countries economies and ways of living. The pseudo charity does nothing but exist as colonialism lite.

(I am excluding the rare groups of actually qualified people. I’ve talked to nurses and such who have done good work in places like Haiti. But they also did the same kind of work here - the kind of people I met assembling fentanyl test kits.)

your hateful religion

You read absolutely nothing I said, did you?
