Yes I'm sure it's those and unrelated to chronic under funding, under staffing, and socioeconomic decline.

The horror stories about common core are evangelical right wing propaganda in their war on pubic education. They still teach algebra in K-12.

We could be granting everyone in the world a high standard of living but instead we're going to charge them to self-induce early onset neurodegenerative disease.

I lived in an apartment for a summer in 2022 and the area didn't regulate cooling requirements since summers were very mild when the regulation was written. The building was new construction and only "cooled" common areas while exhausting through the apartments. At that point summers regularly had 95F/35C for ~6 weeks with peaks above 110F/43C and lows not dropping below 85F/29C.

Furthermore you could only crack the windows and one of the walls was entirely window. I had taped up foil and cardboard to block the sun.

Anyways the entire apartment building got covid simultaneously at the peak of the heat.

Are you polish or something?

Is your monitor back lit by burning magnesium!?

If the person lying by omission has the intent of causing the recipient to have false understanding (e.g. to provide basis for a choice) then it's at least as dishonest as a blatant lie.

If they omit information because they think it's irrelevant then it's just ignorance or negligence. Dishonest in the sense that it's not forthright.

Neither lies nor omission are inherently unethical without some basis for the relation between the two people being honesty/loyalty.

This is a classic.

Think it's a non-issue.

You might decide quickly that breaking binary thinking is necessary for that "insult" to land because they'll simply think you're quite a weird right winger.

You're looking at each word and recognizing that sentences are there, and you're following through them. Your brain has decided that's sufficient work to absorb the material. So it just discards the information instead of doing the work to process it and convinces itself that it's reading.

Then you realize you did part of the job but didn't finish it. So you need to double the looking at words, paragraphs, or pages work while working actively to make the brain process it and form comprehension.

In some cases it can be demotivating. Otherwise just silly.

It seems the workshop is a circular list of dependencies and the product is mostly the persistence of the workshop.

Wouldn't that risk dislodging the head again?
