Every book report in high school where I could choose the author was a Stephen King novel and I turned out fine. And in Florida too. Class of 1991. đ. BRD.
Welp, then according to their plan, you didnât turn out fine, youâre the problem. Good for you though, Iâm hoping your state turns it around quickly because I really want to live there. Itâs beautiful and I love the weather there, I just canât deal with the bullshit theyâre doing.
Itâs not cheap. I left in 2005 because the insurance cost kept doubling every year despite never having a claim and I was 30 miles inland. And the deductibles would increase too. tâs worse now. Just do your homework first.
The image is a flyer for a âBanned Books Clubâ (Bokklubb för förbjudna böcker) targeted at young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in Bromölla, Sweden. It invites readers to explore the topic of banned books, asking questions like âWhich books are banned, where are they banned, and why?â The club aims to discuss these books during the fall and winter, and the first meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 19, from 3 to 4 p.m. at the library (biblioteket).
The flyer has a âSTOPâ sign, a warning label at the bottom, and a bird illustration. It encourages participants to sign up via email and features logos for Kulturpunkten and Bromölla Municipality.
Plastics are only plastics when many separate (often gaseous) molecules called monomers form large chains or webs called polymers. If you vaporize a polymer, it gets reverted to being many monomers
These specific monomers can be found in nature, and they are widely used in industrial applications beyond making plastics, for example they can fuel welding torches.
The monomer of PE is the gas ethylene, which is a plant hormone among other things, and if you combine it with hydrogen from water it makes ethanol, which is the kind of alcohol that is only mildly poisonous so we drink it. Itâs the easiest way to get alcohol without fermentation, so we use it in industry. So I guess mostly it is.
Propylene, which is the monomer of polypropylene, is a gas thatâs toxic in large concentrations, apparently itâs what makes forest fires poisonous, but itâs fine to have a little bit in the air, and itâs at least not carcinogenic.
The problem with plastics is not that they are toxic, itâs that we make too much and litter in everywhere, including our own body.
In before:
Putin will first scream his head off and declare this is an escalation.
Then when he sees we do it anyway, he will claim it changes NOTHING!! We will destroy any weapons the west supply.
Then he will try to get more junk from North Korea and Iran, and send thousands more Russians to their death in Ukraine.
Itâs astounding how a bad final season managed to obliterate GoT from the cultural zeitgeist. It was an absolute juggernaut, and while House of Dragons or whatever it is is successful, itâll never be the massive fixture that GoT was.
I rewatched GoT a few weeks back. Got to the final episode and didnât recognize one bit of it. Then I remembered I refused to watch it when it came out. Figured Iâd be happier remembering the series as the beauty it was. ;)
Itâs a real shame. While the later seasons are weaker, theyâre not nearly enough to kill what is still a fantastic show. But that last season? Seven hells.
7 was incredibly mediocre, but a mediocre end wouldnât have killed its cultural influence. Lots of shows have mediocre ends. 8 was pure trash, though. Not even any effort put into it by the showrunners. I feel terrible for everyone involved in actually making the goddamn show.
Friedman argues the US should support Israelâs annexation âbased first and foremost on biblical prophecies and valuesâ, saying that such a policy âhearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperityâ.
It would be funny if it wasnât so sad and ironic.
So I was very curious about where all this narrative stemmed from as I kept seeing far right posts comparing IQ and different races.
Saw this video by Shawn (2 hour+ long) and he broke it down very well.
Basically, itâs just bad studies where they test both segregated white schools and also black schools (which were under funded and had average lower income levels for parents), then use the result as the smoking gun.
It essentially comes down to:
Having a head start in life passes down the generation, so high income groups (and races over represented there) will always have a higher average IQ cause by the nature of IQ tests being just academic tests.
When youâre famous (and have money), they let you do it anything you want.
Trump had nothing before his grift to become the president. Now, heâs connected and funded by some of the most nefarious and influential criminals on the planet.
These arenât back-alley types, theyâre the types that run nations, and world-wide crime organizations.
