On days when a spring cleaning or packing and organizing frenzy is needed, the Katamari Damacy sound track is perfect. Nice continuity of themes, but varying tempos and energy help make a sustainable work session.

Stop growing alfalfa in the goddamn desert, maybe? Stacys and Chads letting the tap run while they brush each other’s teeth is not the problem here.

Vindictive man child-rapist running US.

I really need supervision.

No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me

About what time should I come over?

The People v Larry Flynt sets a precedent for smut peddlers taking a necessary moral stance, I guess

See my comment to OP for a recentish publication that shows the same thing all studies previously have shown. You are quite correct.

No one that has looked at this in a serious way agrees with you.

From the abstract:

“These results suggest that the movements involved in handwriting allow a greater memorization of new words. The advantage of handwriting over typing might also be caused by a more positive mood during learning. Finally, our results show that handwriting with a digital pen and tablet can increase the ability to learn compared with keyboard typing once the individuals are accustomed to it.”

Handwriting helps retention better than typing.

They really just seem to want to avoid challenging conversations, don’t they?

True true.

Imagine further if Henry Wallace had not been replaced as FDR’s VP by Truman just a few months before FDR died. We would have had a real scientist (HW was a corn geneticist who founded the first hybrid corn seed company) at the helm.

The post-world war 2 world would have developed very differently.

(sigh)

Wow, thanks for that. I struggled for decades and also had a difficult time after a breakthrough. I describe it as being released from a long stint in prison, but there is no one to pick you up at the gate. There’s still a long walk ahead of you.

Yeah things are much better now, but my life path is still altered forever, there’s no going back.

Nah, didn’t miss it. We are just talking past each other as happens online, nbd. $1.7k is surely not enough to live on. Yet, it can make a huge difference to a low income person.

I do not know your circumstances, poverty is a unique experience that people who grew up with even just a tiny bit more security seem to not truly understand. We have sayings like ‘grinding poverty’ for a reason. IYKYK.

If you insist. My ass is very shapely as a result of dedication to that cause and I draw attention to it whenever possible.

In this essay, I will ….

Yeah, I mean the Clintons were balls-deep in the origin of Third Way. Center-left, my shapley ass. They make Goldwater Republicans look progressive.

It won’t change Jizzedina Davenport Vance’s mind. It will embolden others to do the same and eventually maybe he gets a proper crowd-sourced spa treatment.

That’s why I am a Wobbly. I was raised to be a white pro-labor racist by religious weirdos. Yet the best, kindest, most understanding friends I ever made on the playground were non-white.

I am grateful that I cannot tolerate cognitive dissonance and have distanced myself from racism and kept my pro-labor stances.

It’s a long multi-generational fight, but what else can a person who strives to be decent do?

The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.

Get fucked, Target.

Every damn time I speak.

I’m sometimes exhausting…

He’s upset that Forbes did not do actual journalism. Anyone who looked into Theranos would have known that it was smelly from the beginning.

It was initially difficult to claim outright fraud, but the lack of peer reviewed research coming out of that company or that the diagnostics were even based on would have triggered anyone who was marginally competent in medical testing or even just biochemistry.

So Forbes sucks, and they printed what they were told.

If you have ever been low income, $1700 is enough to get your attention. You know where that money comes from and when you are low income, a sudden in flow of essentially an extra month and a half of salary for a rural person?

Well, you’re paying attention to that. So maybe have some perspective about what that kind of money means to a person who has a shitty truck and a barely adequate house and spends months in it through a long winter.
