@AppleCountry3@NYBATs@danielidfresne Many of those schools have majors and career tracks and even programs with US military for students. SH is not for everyone. Students in Stuy often need to study until midnight every day for 10 months! And there are all kinds of opportunities in other HS.
@AppleCountry3@NYBATs@danielidfresne It is not a utopia. That was what I am going to say. Not everyone wants to be academically advanced. The majority won’t be. Just like NBA has 450 new jobs every year, meantime NCAA has 5800 new players, while every one of the 18000 US high school male basketball team has a MVP.
Mass shooter taken down in just 10 seconds after he opened fire into a crowd in Tucson, Arizona.
David French, who was on probation for a 2024 shooting, is accused of opening fire into a crowd of people, injuring nine.
When he tried running away, a Tucson police officer opened fire and shot French, injuring him.
Good work.
If I'm understanding this right:
Abdul self deported to Lebanon after a life of crime and extremism. He didn't intend to return to Europe.
Instead of leaving him there, German authorities had him arrested in Lebanon and flown back to Germany.
They put him into a shitlib course to pretty please stop being ISIS, which I'm sure has worked so well on other jihadis before.
Abdul then retaliated with last night's terrorist attack.
This continent is such a shitshow.
🚨 EBT Fraud Alert 🚨
“Lisa, I’m at Publix right now…you done sold me a card that don’t work. Why would you do that?”
Video circulating shows a buyer stuck at checkout after paying cash for an EBT card that was totally empty.
Buying or selling food stamps for cash isn’t just illegal—it’s a major scam risk.
How it happens:
—Trafficking: Selling SNAP benefits at a discount for cash.
—Scams: Buyers get ripped off with drained or fake cards.
—Skimming & Phishing: Thieves clone cards or trick users out of PINs.
How we fix it:
1️⃣ Chip EBT Cards: Replace magnetic stripes with EMV chips.
2️⃣ App Card Locks: Let users lock cards until at checkout.
3️⃣ Photo ID / Biometrics: Enforce ID verification for redemptions.
Protect your benefits and report SNAP fraud to local authorities! #SNAP #EBTFraud #ConsumerAlert
@AppleCountry3@NYBATs@danielidfresne Equal?🤣🤣🤣 Those did not get in SH were not locked out. Their families and the K-8 education failed them. They are eliminated by an objective straight up test being there for decades that every student can prepare and take.
If New York wants more black and Hispanic students at specialized high schools, it should fix the broken K-8 pipeline that leaves too many students unprepared long before they take the test.
Do not lower the bar and call it justice. Don’t break the city’s best schools
You are not LOCKED OUT because you can and every NYC student can take the SHSAT. You are actually eliminated, rejected, passed over. Why? because you are not educated well or didn’t invested yourself enough. Buy a dictionary for yourself.
NYers know a hustle when we see one, and the recent news that Stuyvesant offered admission to only 3 Black students this year is the latest example of a grotesquely obvious hijacking of public benefits, cynically disguised as a fair, merit-based outcome https://t.co/EoWomz43Pr
Peter is not correct about me in this case.
I have always known that dangers from Earth will also pose dangers to Mars. Obviously so. However, the immense difficulty of traveling to Mars means that there is a much higher likelihood of mitigating risks originating from Earth.
A clear example of major risk reduction would be a deadly pandemic. Since it takes 6 months to reach Mars, there is an automatic 6 month quarantine!
Even traveling at the speed of light, a deadly computer virus or AI attack can potentially be stopped due to Mars being ~4 to ~20 light-minutes from Earth.
This doesn’t mean that a Mars civilization eliminates all risk, but it absolutely greatly reduces the risk of consciousness being extinguished.
Moreover, Mars is a stepping stone to extending consciousness broadly within our solar system and ultimately to millions of stars within our galaxy, which would extend the probable lifespan of consciousness as we know it by many orders of magnitude.
That said, what I personally find most motivating is not the risk reduction aspect of extending life beyond Earth, but rather the inspiring nature of exploration and being out there among the stars!
Perhaps we will meet aliens or find the remains of long-dead civilizations that lasted millions of years …
