Sorry, I forgot the dev added that feature. It’s annoying that the app didn’t ask me before adding the redirect to the link

Here is a post discussing this

Edit: fixed link

Grants often cover research, including equipment and salary for student researchers. So it might be that they pivot away from any science or medical field, which certainly seems like a desirable outcome for this administration.

My wage for peer tutoring at my university was also grant funded, although that program (TRIO) has essentially been destroyed by Trump at this point.

It doesn’t have the head or body shape of a pit viper. Also, green pits are not native to the Americas, not that this means much anymore with the exotic animal trade sometimes resulting in non-native pets released into the wild

Drag shows are actually part of US military history

Clonidine can do that

So if we are too sick to leave the house to find work, we’ll be SOL?

There’s a field near me with about $7mil in winter wheat still just sitting in a large, covered pile. I understand why they’re planting summer wheat, but it kind of feels like they’ll be selling the farm this time next year anyway

One of my professors had an AI policy. Using AI for an outline or to find resources was okay, as long as it was cited with the exact prompt used. I think having rules for how to use AI on her assignments actually cut down on use compared to professors who outright banned it.

My cat buried her nose into my elbow the first time I held her, and she still does that over a decade later. I hope you have many many years of oddly placed nose-presses

This is my experience: I caught covid while in the hospital, despite being vaccinated and boosted. The people in the unit I was in were also vaccinated, so I know they were sharing a reduced viral load. I got extremely sick, not quite on a vent, but lucky I was already in a hospital. If the rest of the population is sharing full viral loads, I will probably not survive if I catch it again

I guess my immune-compromised ass will be staying at home for the rest of forever.

Viruses often cause health issues later on. Chickenpox can cause shingles, mono can cause a whole fuckton of diseases years later, long covid is common enough for it to not be a conspiracy anymore. This stupid choice is going to create a population with poor health for decades to come

He also thinks he’s the only one who can bring peace because he was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize. He’s still chasing that high

The ones that were able to keep their farms only remember the bailout. Some of the uproar from farmers since Trump came back is that the money they expected from the government is gone, and they can’t figure out why when this is the man that bailed them out. It’s selective af memory

When I was a kid there was a big lawsuit about a brain dead woman whose husband wanted to take her off life support, but her parents didn’t. Fifteen years passed from the time she went into a coma to when she was finally allowed to die.

That was only twenty years ago

Right? Most kids are easily influenced, that’s a big part of being a child. The fact that this dude had no interest in being in Guy’s life probably had the highest influence on how he developed. Because the “I didn’t choose to be born” line says more about his parents than him, I feel

Maybe, but a couple months ago Trump made an executive order about reducing the cost of IVF. I’m sure some of that is Musk’s influence, because AFAIK all of his kids are IVF babies

It helps to have a “script” for interactions. Small talk is often the same formula of topics repeated in different situations. Learn to ask questions, but have answers to those same questions ready if you are asked. Don’t get too personal or deep with it, small talk is meant to be pleasant but shallow.

Oh boy. I totally skipped over the white part lol.

I agree with you. I guess some of what I said will hold true for white Americans, but may be more generically Southern than white

I grew up in the south.

Sunday dress was a thing. Modern day, it may not have been as special because you didn’t wear the same two outfits all year. But it’s still different from funeral and wedding attire.

Sunday meals were special too. Maybe we didn’t always go out for food after church, but guarantee there was BBQ involved. If not BBQ, then fried, and/or with a salad filled with carbs and mayo.

Uh, speaking of Sunday, you could say being a Christian is a big cultural thing. My family rebelled a bit, we were Catholic.

Don’t bother Daddy while he’s watching his sports. Don’t put more work on mommy (no dirty clothes, keep your shoes clean). Mowing the lawn takes all day because we live in the boonies (or you don’t have a lawn because you live in a triplex).

All holidays are Christian. And you spend them with extended family.
