I teach psychology at a local small college as a tenured faculty member, tend to overthink things, so I try not to overthink things here, I like basketball, have dyslexia, and think stats are pretty cool.

..anyway...hadn't seen them for a month and they were waiting for me outside of class yesterday.

Yeah, you completely missed the point. I wasn't really getting into what you care about. Don't force it.

Sure; my point is less about the plants specifically and more of the similarities to conservative arguments against building things/concepts.

As soon as he was sworn in it was clear he'd be a one term governor. His policies are just way too right wing and will do way too much damage. Hell spin it as being reality based but honestly it is just lazy legislating.

Maybe that's their joke. Absolves them of the guilt not getting something for a sibling, a ritual completed, connection made, and avoids an appearance of favoritism.

And to broaden it a bit, It's worth considering that these students are being encouraged, directly or not, to use AI in high school.

I'm as liberal as they come but such a repeat offender has proven that it would not matter if their license was suspended. They would drive anyway.
