Hi-viz and hiking boots.

I’d agree with that. Basket in rushes vs capsule in the cornfield. But it’s a weak linkage given that the abandoned orphan is a trope older than the bible.

Superman ripped off Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter novels.

John Carter was from Virginia but was transported to Mars where he exhibited super strength and great leaping ability due to the lower gravity. Siegalman and Shuster reversed the premise and had an alien come to earth with…great strength and great leaping ability due to the lower gravity. Flying came later. Nothing about Moshe.

The Spice Girls were real stuff. They were put together but revolted against the producers who were trying to control the group. In an infamous episode they stole the masters for what became the first album and released it themselves.

Not Pixel 6?

As was Last Vegas.

The creek is 3 feet wide in places and can dry up during dry seasons. The “lake” is 3 feet deep. The city was founded there because the governor owned land on the bald prairie, not the river valley where the fort and city already existed. Water is piped in from a lake several miles away.

Let me introduce you to Regina.

I have an older comment that goes through Tesla’s litany of woes and the stock goes up with every piece of bad news. It is being supported by something other than reality.

Midday on the subway. I knew someone who attended that school and it was literally part of intro performance.

Or theatre students. They used to send them out to act weird in public to get over feeling self conscious.

With all the bots on the site why complain about these ones?

Edit: auto$#&"$correct

…posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation…

There are no users there. It’s just bots talking to other bots.

Neuroscience and basically no time limit. 50 marks in a 3 hour night class and I tell them I’ll stay as long as they need.

You are correct. “Bankrupt” is a little strong. But selling existing bonds back into the market while the U.S. is trying to issue new debt would not be great for America. I think dollar devaluation is 100% in the cards.

The US has been living on credit cards for decades now. The rest of the world has supported it because the most important thing for everyone is stability. With trade agreements getting ripped up, and nonsense tariffs everywhere, supporting Americas consumption habits is not necessarily in the world’s interests anymore.

Canada alone holds almost $500 billion in US debt. Europe and Japan hold another $2.5 trillion in US debt. America is picking fights with people who can bankrupt them.

You wouldn’t believe how difficult they are to mark. The basic skills of penmanship and sentence construction have fallen through the floor. 20% of students in my last class didn’t even attempt the short answer section on an exam that was otherwise multiple choice.

I’m not a phone person. What benefit does this provide?

I’ve been on the internet since before the web. Those guys have always been there.
