@WallStreetApes They are all on IEPs. In many schools, students with an IEP are allowed to miss a maximum of 10 school days per year. Schools are forced to keep the kids in the classroom, making it impossible to enforce discipline.
Remember when Hamilton Township made an official statement saying that I was spreading “misinformation” about an Uzbek who wants to build an Islamic school in Maineville, Ohio?
And then I showed a conversation with a local Uzbek confirming it is in fact true….?
And then I showed Warren County Auditor/Ohio SOS records backing it up?
And then Hamilton Township said… well, yea… but they haven’t made it official yet and it would never pass even if they did submit a request because it doesn’t fit the zoning requirements…

I just built the largest collection of helpful prompts (500+) to turn Muse into the best chief of staff, best marketer, best PM you've ever had.
@Muse can be so much more than a glorified admin assistant. There are hundreds of ways to use it at your job.

i’ve been back home for a few days, in the tiny italian town where i grew up. maybe 6,000 people.
yesterday i saw some old school friends i hadn’t seen in years and it was genuinely fascinating how little their lives have changed.
most people here don’t go to university. they finish school and start working right away.
then that’s kind of their life.
wake up, work as an electrician or mechanic, come home, watch football, beer with friends on friday. work all year, save enough money for a week of vacation in august, come back and repeat.
most have basically no idea what AI is. all the things that feel world-changing to me and to the timeline barely enter their lives at all.
when i start talking about AI, self-driving cars, robots, rockets, all the things i’m insanely excited about, they mostly just scoff. completely uninterested.
and i don’t even mean any of this as an insult. a lot of them seem perfectly fine with their lives.
that’s what makes it so strange.
their lives now feel completely foreign to mine, while also being incredibly familiar.
we grew up in the same town, went to the same schools, knew the same people. our families and childhoods weren’t that different.
if i had made a couple different choices when i was 14 or 15, there’s a very real chance that would have been my life too.
sometimes you go home and realize just how many completely different versions of your life were only a few decisions away.
Once you watch Claude or some other LLM do a task that used to take you 3 hours in the span of just 3 minutes, all work starts to lose its purpose
Have been hearing the same sentiment from many of my friends in middle management across tech, finance and other office jobs
All the years of experience you culminated at your field suddenly seems useless
You used to feel valued for your expertise in a niche domain, but that knowledge has now become commoditized
You begin to wonder how many more months until upper management and executives realize that they don’t need to pay your salary anymore
Maybe they can replace you fully. Maybe they can hire someone for 50% of the cost to do the same task with an AI
It is the impending sense of doom and despair. The loss of purpose from your life’s work disappearing losing value in front of your eyes
Truly an incredible time to be alive
