The real issue is that we have a rapidly aging workforce and there’s not enough young people to replace them. With the average age of parents raising, the gap is getting larger. In the 50s it was 16 workers for every 1 retired. The 70s, 5:1. That number is now almost 2:1. This is bad. Very bad.

Higher bar for jobs. Lower wage for entry level. Later retiring age. Higher need for migrant and seasonal workers.

I know what Coachella is… take your own advice dipshit

When and where did they claim they were going to be holding a rally at Coachella Festival Grounds? The average person probably doesn’t even realize Coachella is the name of a music festival, let alone a city in California…

Fuck trump either way lol

A large foundation for the belief in critical periods for language are based on Genie, a feral child who was entirely unable to learn a spoken language despite significant efforts. Today, she can use some sign language but cannot speak.

So the answer is largely believed to be: No. You cannot learn a spoken language if you missed the critical period.

It’s also literally impossible to test/study ethically, so nobody actually knows.

Tl;dr: Signal gave the court timestamps for three out of nine phone numbers that the court demanded data on. The timestamps were the dates three phone numbers last registered their accounts with Signal. That’s it. That is all the data there was to give.

This is why I use Signal. This is why I donate monthly to Signal.

The no-poo (no shampoo) movement is very real and definitely works for many people (dependant on hair type and oil secretions). Basically, once you stop washing away your natural oils daily, the production normalizes and then a regular rinse with water and occasionally something like diluted soap, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

I’ve met them, I was one, I know them. You wouldn’t know unless they told you.

Humans, and other animals, produce DMT in their brain. It’s not unreasonable for someone to read that octopus can make their own MDMA and assume it’s a real statement. Someone literally responded, can’t tell if you’re joking.

In the case of sailors, where water was needed for extended voyages, transporting water in casks was impossible as it developed algae and would spoil quickly, becoming a health hazard. They added alcohol to make it not only more palatable but to prevent spoilage.

That’s the definition of drinking alcohol because it’s cleaner.
