Trickle down economics are an effective way to redistribute wealth
Did we conclude that, I thought its still heavily debated.
Some argue in the 50s and 60s the US was spending Europe’s gold to build highways and infrastructure, gifting Americans the wealth with a continuation of the new deal, they then defaulted in 1971 as inflation eroded foreign debt owed.
Some feel some form of debt accrual is how we derive such a consumption focused standard of living, which is misallocated capital that ends in someone holding the bag when it can’t realistically be paid back, or when population doesn’t grow fast enough like in Japan or most of the developed countries.
I would say “cursive is how adults write, you’ll need to know it”, but that wasn’t true then either.

Good cursive flows very nicely. I got to watch my grandmother’s handwriting deteriorate as the dementia and Alzheimer’s took her. Was always amazed for well she wrote when i was younger, but her handwriting turned pretty incomprehensive as her brain was eaten away by the disease
“You need a pen licence because that’s what you use at work”.
Um no. Secretaries, lawyers and journalists used typewriters and engineers used propelling pencils. Builders had these odd rectangular shaped pencils that could write on anything. Fitters and boilermakers used chalk.
Only schoolchildren used biros.
cursive sucks ass. im not reading that garbage
I actually use it myself sometimes when taking notes. It’s just the natural way to write for me. It’s faster and more space effective.
I cant even read my own cursive from back then.
Now i know how my teachers felt and why they constantly told me i write unreadablely. Used to be able to read it fluently lol
-Coequal branches of government
-Separation of Church and State
-Life terms for SCOTUS ensures political impartiality
-The second amendment was so that we could defend ourselves (see: redcoats)
-Bohr system
By the time I was in school the Bohr model was already proven inaccurate, but was taught anyway because the orbital model is too esoteric for teenagers 🙄.
I have one that was proven false, and then later re-proven true: the existence of the brontosaurus.
When I was in elementary school, we were taught that they existed, they were big, etc. Then, at some point while I was in college, I discovered that actually what we thought was a brontosaur was a brachiosaur or an apatosaur. And then, when my kids went to school and learned about the brontosaur, I discovered that actually, they did exist!
Haven’t seen anybody post this but how gender and sexuality is, schools are so fucking about straight mom and dad only relationship and nothing else. Man and wife bullshit when there’s infinite amounts of gender and sexuality and diversity out there. Fuck I hate Amerikkka
I am from germany. Sex ed is not just manditory but also part of normal lessons all two years. The body, genetics, sex itself and how a baby is made and how protection and STDs work and which are there next to condom and pill
Funnily enought i wasnt present the whole male sex ed part so idk if they talked about queernes. Being in a psychiatric hospital they only had german, math, english, classes so litterly only the essentials
can you be more specific
I was taught that Jupiter had 17 moons, Saturn has 12 and Pluto has 1. Many more have been discovered since.
Then there’s the whole “different areas on your tongue taste different flavors.” Like you only taste sweet with the tip of your tongue, the middle tastes salty, etc. I remember being given various substances by my fifth grade teacher like sugar, coffee, lemon juice, table salt etc. and we tried putting them on different areas of our tongues and we were like “…no, we taste everything everywhere.”
Were you guys eating coffee grounds in your 5th grade science class? Your next teacher either hated it because you guys were bouncing off the walls or loved it because you were all wide awake and paying attention.
A tiny amount on like a q-tip. Not enough to effect anything except flavor
We were each given like a quarter teaspoon of grounds and a toothpick.
I was always so confused by the tongue areas because it never seemed to work for me. Especially sweet, I tasted sweet far more at the back than on my tip.
I learned that it’s not ok to be intelligent but completely incapable of remembering to do things or remembering the things that the teachers thought it was important for me to remember.
The D.A.R.E. program.
We congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.
I’m addicted to dopamine, and I’ll take any drug I can to get more of it.
There are 10 Commandments.
No - there’s 14.
And most of them also have sub-commandments, just to confuse it further.
613 mitzvot! ± a couple hundred, depending on whether you’re a Kohen, live in Israel, if the Temple has been rebuilt, or are the first-century sage Hillel (in which case there’s one mitzvah and 612 articles of commentary.)
Here’s video evidence from a documentary I watched abouy what happened and why they ended up with 10.
Basically everything I can recall being told in D.A.R.E program classes (war on drugs era propaganda taught in public schools in the USA) was utter nonsense and fabricated bullshit. After actually having personal experience with most of the substances they vilified, none of the effects - good or ill - are what I was taught in that ridiculous program.
On the contrary, some of the fear tactics they used made me curious to investigate on my own. The breathlessly scared rural teacher describing the mind bending effects that “magic mushrooms” was supposed to have sounded fascinating to teenage me. In reality, they are very fun and therapeutic to use, but nothing like the wild Alice in Wonderland mind journey they made it sound like it would be.

Drugs Are Really Excellent?
That blood is actually blue until it gets in contact with air
I remember my science teacher in seventh grade saying this. I was just very confused because my mother who was a nurse said it was just a dark red.
Easy to proof: Vaccumated capsule to draw blood.
No contact with air and still red.
The United States operates on the principle of three co-equal branches of government, which check and balance each others power.
This is painful.
Allergies are entirely genetic. Apparently they ain’t or so I hear but it’s a bit above my paygrade biology wise
Epigenetics in general really messed with what a lot of people learned in school
TIL new word. Fascinating. Thanks!
My sysadmin professor told me to not learn about tape backups because they are going away soon
Like 3 years later ransomware was invented
tape backups are definitely still a thing. it’s one of the cheapest ways to store a shitload of data for a long time
I spend a portion every day removing tapes, shipping them offsite and inserting new tapes
Annoying but must be done
can i have a job at your place
No but look into datacenter night shift work. Where i am nobody wants that shift. Working in a datacenter is pretty fun
interesting. what sort of resumes are you looking for in a data center? security clearances? i have a devops resume, AWS, Linux etc.
Pretty much that but also ability to use tools and basic knowledge of air conditioning etc
how do I find a data center role in particular? normally i am searching “Linux” to get devops roles.
holy crap a sysadmin class? that is wild, son. i must be an old man
I went to a trades school which offered IT computer systems as a 2 year diploma. Fast track to a job back in the early 2010s. That path would never get you into IT today lol
The specific class I mentioned was windows system administration
Idk you can only ‘learn’ them if you have one and even the shittiest tape drive I could find as a consumer doesn’t help me at all with a tape library. We have our tape admin (=our architect) who we thank god every day for because we didn’t have to bother with it. Now he’s retiring this year… F
We had one in the lab though and just ignored it
