That will work until someone who was adopted points out their mother/birthing parent was not their birthing parent.
Maybe the real problem here is giving money and grants to research that doesnt attempt to solve a problem of magnitude? I dont doubt that there is a kinder better way to utilize our languageā¦ but damn couldnt that research grant have been better spent on another topic. Quality of research topics not quantity of research topics, etc? That my problem with it. Similar reasoning to why i refuse to donate to any charitable cause that doesnt directly save human lives.
Doctor - Your baby weighed 7 lbs last week at birth, but now weighs 5 lbs.
Parent - I donāt understand. The non-birthing parent has been getting twice a night and chest feeding āthemā.
Doctor - @%#&%*#$!

I remember reading this in the paper years ago and thinking damn if only we were spending less time on this shit and more time on I dunno curing cancer?
A wise man once said āStupid is as stupid doesā
There is a group that we (white, black, whatever) must fear FAR more than law enforcement. Our fellow citizen.
That dozen or more murdered in one American city during one weekend? That isnāt the work of the police. Thatās John Q. Public.
I have no political affection for Swalwell, but the honey trap story seems to be a fabrication as far as I can tell. Christine Fang was a Chinese spy that tried to infiltrate a number of political campaigns and movements. She did sleep with at least two mayors from the midwest, but there is no evidence as far as I can tell that she slept with Swalwell. She did work on his campaign, but I donāt really feel that he can be held accountable for the identity of everyone who worked on his campaign. There is also a photograph of them together, but he appears to be presenting her with some type of reward, so I wouldnāt take it as evidence of a close relationship.
It is based on unnamed sources, which I treat with all the seriousness that I would a pair of chocolate oven gloves. I dislike Swalwell, and so am making fun of him.
Indeed. Itās nothing earth shattering, but his proximity to a Chicom spy should be viewed with some seriousness.
Oh, Iām not. I donāt think heās the only one, by a long way, that the Chicoms have an agent attached to.
Video from the incident on Wednesday night showed a white sedan approach Fischer, who is expected to make a full recovery, before two men jump out. They struggled with the dog walker before one suspect shot Fischer.
In response, Gaga offered up a $500,000 reward in exchange for her dogs with no questions asked.
This woman is contemptible.
Not sure who should get the stupid award here - parent, student, taxpayer?
"Tiffany France, the mother of the failing student, thought her son would be receiving his diploma from Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in June. "
She thought that?
āHowever, she was surprised to discover that he is being sent back to the ninth grade to start over.ā
An 18 year old freshman? Sadly, I have heard of this before.
"France expressed frustration with the school, asking why her son would have to complete three more years of high school after āthe school failed him.ā "
Followed by:
āFranceās son failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days over his first three years of high school. "
Followed by:
āThe school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, thatās the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didnāt deserve that,ā she said.ā
āEven though he was failing classes, the school continued to promote him; after failing Spanish I and Algebra I, for example, the school still allowed him to take Spanish II and Algebra II.ā
There are two reasons for this, in some districts the parents decide if their failing child gets promoted or not (and grade level does not mean you have the credits for that grade level. Itās just a way to make students feel better.) and, in these schools, if they did not promote failing students, they would have a freshman class made up of 90% of the student body.
"āIām just assuming that if you are passing,ā¦ā
But he wasnāt passing.
"The school district sent a two-page statement to FOX 45 saying students had received letters in the mail informing them of their academic status over the summer and that parents receive automated voice messages when students miss class. "
But the school let him down.
And here we have the disconnect from reality:
"āHeās stressed, and I am, too. I told him Iām probably going to start crying,ā
Stressed? Because his life will somehow turn out differently if they donate a diploma to him?
All of the BLM protesters should get off Twitter, put down the signs, stop crying about police shooting criminals and go to communities like this and mentor and tutor kids, clean up the garbage in the streets, help the elderly shop, burn down the crack houses and confront the drug dealers and gangs. Some advice: if a gang member is going to shoot you just put your hands up. It really works.

The tax payer doesnāt unless he thinks his money is doing any good.
How could a parent NOT KNOW? Thatās the shit that throws me for a loop man ā¦ how the utter fuck could she be this ignorant about her sonās lack of forward progress?? Boggles the fuckinā mind
You figure 3 years = 12 progress reports followed by 12 report cards. Schools use grade book software that parents and students can access at anytime. They get sent alerts whenever a grade changes. Yet, I believe her when she claims ignorance. You are talking about a community that has been conditioned over time to defer all sorts of personal responsibility to the government. Schools provide food, shelter, mental and physical healthcare, in some cases clothes, and education. Education is placed properly in the order of things.
And if you agree that the school let him down, you are woke.
If you say the mother didnāt do her job, you are a racist.
This really is how things work in these schools. I went to a BOE meeting in an āunder-performingā district for a class I was taking. When a teacher asked why they had seen no improvement in test scores, in spite of the new policies that were part of a 5 year plan to improve student performance, and who was to blame- teachers, parents, students, admin- the superintendent stated everyone was to blame. If a student fails everyone is to blame? God forbid you tell the truth and say look at the community, itās failing. A teacher is there everyday with the kid and the parent (singular) can never be reached to discuss any issues but the teacher needs to share the blame. The BOE comes up with policies, influenced by the woke, that are the definition of insanity in that they continue to follow them in hope of getting a different result.
Convoluted perhaps but getting rid of one of the most stupid things ever if it passes. NFL overtime rules that greatly favor the winner of the coin flip. Imagine playing 60 minutes and being tied and then for years saying all right weāre going to flip a coin now to give one team a gigantic advantage.

Sudden death is silly, soccer tried it and realized itās stupid so they got rid of it.
But spot and choose sounds like they arenāt looking for a simple solution.
Might not be simple but anything that is more fair Iām for. NFL overtime rules are better now than they were, but still stupid.
Also why the NFL never went with some type of variation of the college rules is beyond me. Back the ball up and make every TD scored forced to go for two and call it a day.
H - I was about to write the same about PAT.
Plus lose the punt, go on 4th down and KO the KO.
I just dont care about the kicking game.

I actually got love for the kicking game. But in OT you need to try and get a winner quick if possible and going for two is less likely to lead to a tie if both teams score TDās with a āplacedā start like college.
But NFL coaches are notoriously bad about percentages and still donāt go for it nearly enough. Thatās slowly changing due to analytics.
This is a great video.
