By having it disintegrate in the lower atmosphere just like the others?

The people getting the big money payouts in healthcare the US aren’t the doctors.

My wife is a physician, we have been discussing this too.

The lull after the spike could just as likely show a drop off in bot accounts active during the US election. But that’s immaterial because growth is not the same as success.

As long as it’s got an active returning user base that gets value from the product and is able to curate their own experience, it’s able to sustain itself based on the money it has/gains, people are building new tools to make it more engaging, and it’s not being taken over by undesirable actors so that active user base starts to look at another solution, and sites increasingly see Bluesky as a driver of traffic to their websites, it think that would qualify it as a objective success.

If you have a different metric, please feel free to share it.

Based on the chart that they are referencing, while the monthly uniques is lower than the spike, it’s still higher than the previous plateau.

Spikes are moments in time and less important than a sustained use which still shows growth.

This is all half remembered from Reddit…

If I recall correctly there was an old subreddit 195 that was named for the address numbers of some dorm or other housing a college campus to share memes and stuff with each other. It was left of center but eventually devolved out of control and started to get more mean. 196 was created as an offshoot to migrate to after 195 became a cesspit, part of the rules of 196 was you had to post a picture before leaving (maybe?). It was taken over by leftists after a while and swung more towards a ml/tankie bent.

Can you pull up a bookmarked item to read when you don’t have an active network connection? If yes, that’s a “read it later” service. If no, then that’s why they are useful.

In the states I’ve lived in, Junior High and Middle school are both synonymous with grades 6-8

That was what I was referring to. I was being a bit hyperbolic, but a year in national service (beyond just the military) to do community service and gain skills in general not a new proposal. Pete Buttigieg suggested it after HS as part of his candidacy during the 2020 democratic primary.

That’s fair. In my district your insurance is covered if you qualify for assistance, but intentional damage isn’t included in insurance.

In my school we will still replace the Chromebook though (barring admin or district saying otherwise), and the financial impact will be fought by others at the district level. It’s above my pay grade.

Yes they are. These 9th graders are feral though. That realization would require forethought.

Some of these kids should have been sent out to cut trail for a year between HS and Middle School.

Robert Barron, bishop of the Diocese of Winona–Rochester in Minnesota, was appointed less than a week ago by President Trump to the new White House Commission on Religious Liberty. This week, however, he was at the Vatican with hundreds of other prelates as the cardinal electors gather for the conclave to choose a new pontiff.

…

“Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won’t be an American pope.’ And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don’t want America running the world religiously. So, I think there’s some truth to that, that we’re such a superpower and so dominant, they don’t wanna give us, also, control over the church.”

Chicago Pope proclaims he’s “on a mission from God”, looking to “get the band back together.”

Can we just pick up and move King’s Island and Cedar Point somewhere better?

It was anything but typical.

I believe the first case was Robert Palmer in 1979. There are recordings of him pleading with a doctor for any news for his bad case. It seemed like there was no pills to cure him either.

I’m incredibly sad about it too, it consumes a non-inconsequential amount of my family. But a large faction of the US have been trained since the civil rights era that it’s good to suffer hurt yourself as long as you are hurting the undesirables more.
