@QuercusJohn @AraucariaArauc1 It’s not skewed towards large districts, it is a comparison of large districts so as to limit variables as much as possible to spending per student.

@pisspope Making an addictive activity illegal just makes degenerates into degenerate criminals.
Gambling, drugs, shopping, church… anything that excites the pleasure center will be abused. It’s not the activity, it’s the user.

@spencer_askew It’s a better story when the villain isn’t one-dimensional.
That has been exaggerated into stories where the “villain” is just misunderstood, and the “hero” is actually bad, which is actually just a story with a one-dimensional villain.

@nova18291 @guycen @brndxix Yeah, it’s not about black or white.

@wil_da_beast630 Women report to be lonelier, but also report to have more friends and more close friends.
So the break is in self reporting loneliness to a survey taker.

@guycen @brndxix Jordan Peele said the central theme of the film is “privilege”.

@brndxix @grok is the villain of the film Nope an allegory or metaphor for anything in society?

@avidseries That is the whole plot of the movie Idiocracy.
It’s been an issue for a while.

@Jasjpx @annakatherines_ 100%, though it’s unlikely to happen in the areas where it’s most needed because homeless people tend to congregate in areas where the govt doesn’t hassle homeless people, which is also areas most likely to tolerate property crime.

@TheWapplehouse If you think that any global political issue is easy, then you don’t know enough about it.

@fermindrenoon @keepofffgrass History is littered with companies who tried to do that and the people rejected it, resulting in the product and the company failing.
There are high quality, made in America products available now and some do very well, but the market for cheap garbage is much larger.

@IhabHassane It’s always been the case that people making accusations have to prove their accusations.
It’s also been the case that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

@DrNeilStone I think it’s silly too. But the government has definitely given people venereal diseases on purpose, given people LSD without their knowledge and perpetrated so many covert military operations that sound like science fiction. So investigating these things is actually prudent.

@uncvoss Now do income.

@pdx_mavs2 @zumibumi1 @NikkiMcR The UN, The International Red Cross, and the Geneva conventions disagree with you.

@ChrisDJackson Any photos from the last 30 years?

@TheLastKekker Today I learned that human eggs are sentient and have the ability to make decisions.

@billybinion Your point makes sense as long as you ignore how you got that $30.
A trade deficit considers the things that you sell AND buy. If you buy more than you sell, you have a deficit. Run at a deficit long enough and you don’t have any money to buy vegetables.
