At various times over the last 10 years there have been different versions of the satirical “ANY FUNCTIONING ADULT” for president yard signs and bumper stickers, and we thought we were joking, but how true it is.
And it’s amazing how little function it takes to make a difference. Like, cognitive function, for instance, turns out to be really refreshing in a potential world leader.
Refreshing indeed. Harris at least looks like she can answer the ‘what year is it and do you know who the current president is?’ questions without needing a ten minute nap prior to answering.
Heck, she might even have a good idea as to the price of a gallon of milk! The US might just end up with something resembling actual leadership for the next four years.

She does more than look the part. Did you see her walking up stairs to enter a plane and a reporter asked her a question? This young one turned her head, answered the question, all while still walking UPSTAIRS. I was like a bit shocked, after getting used to Biden’s geriatric ass. Was this woman a superhero?
She has a lot of that energy and I couldn’t imagine one of the 2 olds doing that.
Teens are constantly sleepy because that’s how teens work. School start times especially make it impossible to for them to get proper sleep. I’d say it’s ridiculous that someone who has authority over teens doesn’t understand the fucking basics of teens but it’s the Us criminal justice system where authority is made up and the credentials don’t matter.
Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep and don’t get tired until later in the evening, so waking up in time for a 7-8 am start time can compromise their sleep
That’s the reason against starting late. Parents want older siblings to be available to babysit after school and employers want a 16 year old’s shift to start at 14:30, not 16:30. Extracurricular activities (which should be supported, as long as the children themselves want to do them and as long as they’re not actively harmful to children) can often run 90-150 minutes with changing time and warmups, which makes a later start time logistically difficult for families with children of various ages who want to eat dinner together.
It’s a complicated issue and a solution which involves shorter school hours seems to me to be the best one, but that’s obviously even harder to implement without cutting things that are important, so I don’t know how to actually solve this problem.
I live in Germany now, which has tracking. This seems both hella classist and better for ensuring kids can get sufficient sleep. I would love to know if any country/school system has figured out how to do it in a way that doesn’t deprive some kids of future opportunities.
For us it was 7:20 high school, 8:20 elementary, 9:20 middle school. Reason was using the same busses and high schoolers were more likely to need time after school for work or sports/band/after school groups.
In practice it meant that I could pull 40 hour work weeks starting at 16, then by 18 be working some nights till 1-3am and getting up for school in the morning. Stupid decisions were made.
They made laws to further limit the hours kids could work after to try to make healthier opportunities for kids. Unfortunately a certain governor is trying to carve those laws up now. (Desantis)
Wow, 9? That must have been nice. I had to get up at 6:30 every day. It was awful and I was always tired until college where I could schedule when classes started.
I don’t understand why school has to be a full day either. I’m sure teachers could use an extra hour every morning to do their prep, planning, and grading.

Yes. I believe it’s entirely up to police discretion so depending on your skin color and whether johnny law had lunch will determine whether you get the 1k fine and or jail time.
Judge Aliyah Sabree, who has the No. 2 leadership post at the court, released a statement Wednesday night, saying King’s conduct “does not reflect the standards we uphold at 36th District Court.”
If someone does a thing and isn’t stopped or reprimanded then their actions do reflect the standards because those things happened. If your court lets a judge treat a child like a criminal for falling asleep, that is who you are as a court.
Fuck anyone who says “this isn’t who we are” and doesn’t actually do anything to prove that is the case.
It's just PR to protect themselves, not about actually doing fuck all about what just transpired. Many people like this show such cowardice to make a difference.
I want to say that the issue in this case with stopping him is that the other judge wasn’t present to alter it. But then you are still right because presumably that other judge is never there to stop this kind of thing.
Plenty of people got slapped with crimes during the pandemic for hoarding resources and charging insane prices. We never had price caps on toilet paper or hand sanitizer but we still punished bad actors
I’m still waiting for the tax lawyers to figure out that this will apply to the IRS as well. I’ve seen a couple rumblings about it on attorney websites already.
King told WXYZ that he spoke to the girl’s parents and offered to be a mentor.
This guy is a psychopath. He just traumatized this girl and now he wants to have influence in her life? Yikes. It sounds like he wants to finish the job of making her life hell.
