That doesn’t sound right. For all of human history bullies who were bigger and stronger made the rules. The weak were ostracized. If anything, what you’re doing in homeschooling is reverting away from the norm and creating a sheltered environment. This is a double edged sword, you can turn your kids into fragile beings incapable of dealing with a harsh world but at the same time they will probably have productive, predictable and carefree childhoods.
The best case scenario is to be rich enough so you can create a bubble for your kids that lasts from birth all the way to their graves. It’s very possible, all the wealthiest people do it.
Why are they a nuisance? The only thing I can think of is that they might hunt someone’s backyard chickens. Otherwise they control rodent, rabbit and snake populations and mostly really just eat a lot of fish.
This just sounds like school. I guess the difference is you can be very selective with what you teach and pick your own curriculum, especially if you’re a fundamentalist religious person and don’t agree with what most schools teach.
What’s your point though? You’re picking an arbitrary cutoff time based on what? The intention is still disruption.
Thirty minutes is nothing. We don’t classify severity of crimes based on how long they take to accomplish. A murder is a murder whether you shot a person once or spent hours carving them up.
I have used an angle grinder and it takes me about 10 seconds to cut through rebar. I would assume a rail is like 25 pieces of rebar put together so my naive assumption would be under five minutes.
This is not wearing a shirt though. This is people deliberately causing disruptions by putting a traffic cone, universally recognized as a traffic warning, in front of the vehicles. A lot of regular people would think twice about what to do if they came back to their parked car with traffic cones around it.
That’s stupid. You could park a golf cart on the train tracks and it would shut down all train transport for hours. You could cut out a piece of the rail very easily (with an angle grinder) and it would cause dozens of deaths and shut down the line for weeks.
The right course of action is to make messing with automated cars like this a crime just like it is with the railways.
According to this Indian government report, 110 million toilets and 2.23 million community toilets were built between 2014 and 2019 under the clean India drive begun in 2014. All states reported open defecation free in 2019.
Coverage estimates vary between 70-97% in 2019. I would assume the situation has continued to improve over the next 4 years so 15% seems like a believable figure.
What’s so hard about this? You get the picture and you post it on the website. If you have the text all ready to go, you update the prisoner number and it’s trivial to hit the upload button.
Refugees are trying to flee to a developed country with healthcare, jobs and safety. Why would you want to go to Rwanda? I realize it has improved by leaps and bounds but very few people are going to want to emigrate to an African country.
Well you just sold me on reading Ken’s books. Out of curiosity, who was the father figure in cuckoo’s nest? For that matter, who’s the mother, there was no sex as far as I can remember.
If the settlement is doing better than the actual country it is in, it is going to be overrun with locals. The only way to do that would be to fence out the locals and no country is going to agree to that.
I would be interested in seeing the numbers around Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Spanish etc. in my opinion, this may specifically be an avoid China phenomenon.
I think the general feeling is that even if China continues to rise, “we” don’t really want anything to do with them. Alternatives will be found and China will at the very least be a soft enemy that espouses something we don’t want to be, very much like the Soviet Union and the Cold War.
That’s true but it’s never the highly nutritious grasses that cows/goats need like alfalfa, false plantains, millets etc. You would need to heavily supplement their diets, I would imagine.
It’s not just that, immigrants are massive job creators. Out of the top 500 billion+ dollar unicorns in the US, 51% were started with by an immigrant. 66 of those 500 companies had atleast one Indian cofounder.
3% and that sounds like a pittance when the fate of Western Europe is at stake. For that price, it decimated what might have been considered the second strongest military in the world, strengthened democracy, sped up the implementation of renewable energy and supercharged local manufacturing. This might be the best investment the US ever made.
Ukraine is receiving a fraction of our allocated defense budget. It’s also strange to hear it described as “war making” rather than defense against an aggressor. Kind of betrays your motivations.
We’re looking and can’t find something that lasts more than two weeks. It’s going to take something drastic to drop those prices since they’re still going up and hopefully it’s before I end up buying a new place.
