Moderate, in a country where “don’t pick on people who aren’t hurting you” has somehow become radical. 8th grade math dropout, in a country where 6th grade math dropouts are somehow running economic policy.
Not just his cousin. He himself admitted they were. But he blames vaccines for one of them getting a rash from peanuts once.

Privately insured kids will be fine if their parents know/remember to request it at birth. But half of US kids are on Medicaid, CHIP, etc. there’s no guarantee Vaccines for Children will pay for it.

I believe the major insurance companies announced before the 1st RFK ACIP mtg that they would continue coverage based on 2024 recommendations thru 2026. The thing to worry about in re: insurance is that 10-20 yrs from now they’ll deny claims for vaccine preventable liver failure.

That’s him stalling because he needs a second to find his place and/or he has seen an unfamiliar word in the next phrase.

Whatever happened to Overstock? I don’t even see their crappy boxes in the town recycle bins anymore.

And if they weren’t committing a war crime, they’d’ve arrested the survivors & collected the cargo as evidence. Why kill guys you could interrogate? If they’re not murderers, they’re incompetent idiots.

Now he doubles down by charging y’all an extra $100 a head 4 the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.

We actually do miss you. I live in a US national park gateway town, & Canadians have always been part of our seasonal community life—our churches & potlucks & volunteer cleanups. It’s too quiet here.

Yeah, this kind of mistake happens a lot, including where the researchers are supposed to have a lot more experience than these folks do. Yes, they effed up, but I’m thinking somebody smarter than me could salvage this data. Maybe wiggle out retained kids’ score the next year as separate test group

And am I right that there are no exterior doors? That would be… um… energy efficient?
December 2, 2025 at 3:59 AM
You gotta admit it’s creative! I sure would never have thought to put the main foyer in the middle of the house where no doors will interfere with it!

States should just not let data centers hook up to the grid, period. Let them be self-sufficient.

Not exactly fraudulent. Based on a research design that should have been reviewed by some psychometrics grad students first. This is one of those “you can’t edit your own work” types of error.

Um, two dweebs who flunked out of military training were going to try to take over an island with 90K residents. The world wouldn’t need to intervene.
November 24, 2025 at 5:53 AM
This is what happens when you take 3rd grade math out of schools. These nimrods don’t understand that the population of the island is a big number & they are a small number. Their sentence should be to have to try to carry out the “plan.”

That would be hilarious, but she said pew-pew.

Who came up with that for him? He’s a deeply stupid man; that’s about 800% too clever for him to have thought of.

organizations always take on the character (or lack thereof) of the leadership (or lack thereof.)

Tx isn’t a poor intellectual infrastructure state yet. The UT system put up a damn good fight and even the scorched ruins are better than the rest of the Bible Belt.

Agreed, or maybe he was giving Chris a chance to re-pronounce it. I know the term but didn’t recognize it. Chris’ pronunciation may very well have been correct, but it wasn’t clear.
November 21, 2025 at 6:32 PM
He did provide context. He just didn’t pronounce the term the way most Americans would. I know the term, but I didn’t recognize it when he said it.
November 21, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Chris did an excellent job of what language educators call scaffolding—presenting what might be a new word with abundant context or a synonym so the listener understands it but it’s not condescending. But he did a less excellent job of pronouncing it so ppl who do know the term can recognize it.

You get ONE without cause. My parents each got one when they saw a gerontology specialist for the 1st time. Trump seems to be getting them yearly— that’s for measuring progression, not screening.

Those of us who live in West Texas pronounce the town “West Comma Texas.”

Eisenhower— a Republican who continued all of the above & made it palatable to non-fascist conservatives. Taxed the oligarchs to build the interstate highway system & stopped them from bitching about it by calling it national security.
