A number of measures to help students concentrate are taken during the annual event such as closing the country’s airspace and delaying the opening of the stock market.
That is what thinking of the children really looks like. Here in the US we just make stupid age verification laws for porn sites like it is going to make porn hard for teenagers to get.
I was the same way. IMO, philosophy is WAY underrated. If the takeaway from intro to philosophy courses is ancient Greeks had some strange ideas about atoms and such, that is missing the point. Below is for anyone that has never touched philosophy at all.
Ethics is NOT what the corporate ethics things say about following the rules. Ethics in this context would raise the question of whether always following company rules is the right thing to do? Is right and wrong objective or subjective? Is something right in some contexts but wrong in others? Which system of thought should you be using (consequentialism, virtue, deontological)? I was just following orders when I murdered those people! By our laws it was legal, therefore right! It is a great way to persuade people and make decisions.
Epistemology is absolutely key to critical thinking. How do you determine what you know vs what you merely believe? Can you trust that error message is accurate? Can you trust your memory? Personal experience? It is a great way to build a world class bullshit detector.
Metaphysics gets you to think about things at a more foundational level. Think about a stop sign. Is it a red octogon with stop in white letters? Not everywhere. It could be a cop or crossing guard with their hand out. It could be a red light. It could be a red sign that isn’t an octogon at all. It is a great way to learn to challenge your assumptions about the nature of the world and things.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a take away by some people. The rebuttal:
It is a book about how to write unambiguously and clearly.
Clear writing isn’t useful? Think about arguments about phrases in the Constitution. Clarity would make those problems go away. I could name half a dozen STEM applications of quality writing off the top of my head:
Strunks Elements of Style should be mandatory reading every year of high school.
Maybe if you provide a few examples, it would help provide some insight?
I do when it is advertising something I hate. Publishers get dollars for clicks, pennies for impressions. That way I force someone I dislike to give money to someone I like.
That’s a machine gun, not a rocket.
Cass, you idjit! You have been on earth from how long and still don’t know how humans work! They are just going to think the OP is delusional!
To me, the frustrating part about wanting to end car dependence is it doesn’t mean they will completely go away. Most of the things that help are better for drivers because they keep impaired and distracted people off the road and allow us to tighten up licensing requirements. So you get less traffic with better drivers. You can also go to a bar and not worry about getting yourself or your car home.
Villagers are human like mobs you trade with. Emeralds are used as a currency. Most fletchers buy sticks from you. The more you do business with a villager, the more trade options they have. High level fisherman buy a boat (5 wooden planks) for one emeralds.
Tool smiths start selling high quality enchanted iron and diamond tools once they are mid level. Enchantments do things like increase durability (unbreaking), improve speed (efficiency), and many other upgrades. Once you have a tool smith that sells say diamond axes, anything else is pointless to keep beyond an emergency backup. Cost isn’t a factor because the aforementioned selling of sticks and boats mean emeralds are a cheap and renewable resource.
Get a tool smith and buy tools. Emeralds are super easy to get in bulk with master fisherman and fletchers. Selling sweet berries to butchers is another great source.
Can confirm. Wash forearms too. Peed, washed hands, then wiped eye with forearm.
0 stars. Would not recommend.
After doing WFH for several years, I’ll only take a job on site as a last resort or for like double my pay. Then I would cut my time until FIRE roughly in half. I don’t hate doing work. I hate having a huge chunk of my time taken up by having to work 40 hours.
If work weeks were cut to 24 or even 32 hours, I might even reconsider the FIRE path.
How about Elaborate on why you are against it? If you have a really good reason, you may even win some people over to your side.
Bike infrastructure needs physical separation. Bollards separating lanes at minimum. The average Joe would be financially WAY better off just renting trucks when they need one.
I don’t disagree with drivers paying damages, but I see laws like this as whack-a-mole with symptoms of the problem of car dependency. Bars and restaurants serving alcohol with car dependent design is just a bad idea. No amount of laws is going to prevent drunk drivers from killing people as long as they remain the only way to get to or from places people consume alcohol.
I highly doubt it. I don’t remember any of incidents.

I’m assuming you are in the US. The problem with being broke is it is stressful. Stress impacts decision making, causing a cycle. The US is a capitalist society that educated people to behave as socialists with regards to business, career management, and employment.
The people that REALLY need financial planning advice can’t afford it. Those that can use it to go from rich to richer.
The best thing you can do is get some help going through your expenses to see what you can optimize. Once you start getting a little bit of a breather, you will feel a lot better.
I’ve been following the FIRE community for close to a decade, so if you want, I can probably help you find some fat to trim.
Of course I mean the butthole spiders! What do they do with their time since the revamp? Maybe we could convince the judge to let us old school the Dahmer types for a few bearamies? I pulled off toe nails until I was transferred to running coffee shops in the rehab neighborhoods so I never got to see the new spiders.
Conservative = my group is better than yours so we deserve power and resources
Tactics:
Scape goating a weak group to sell it to a lower class (E.g. Pre MLK US blacks - poor whites)
Appealing to fear and presenting a protector strong man
Appealing to tradition and good old days (that sucked)
Anti intellectualism
