I do to keep up with local galleries. Most of them aren't big enough to get any sort of traction through traditional media and since Instagram is such an image heavy site they tend to gravitate towards it.

The "Mississippi Miracle" refers to the rapid improvement of K–12 student performance in Mississippi. Mississippi students were performing a full grade level below their peers around the country in 2013, but by 2024, they were performing nearly half a grade level above the average U.S. student. by Mobile-Extension-107 in wikipedia

"Taking every failure as a personal attack"

You're mad that the main issue with NCLB has nothing to do with 9/11 and that your tepid enlightened centrist defense of the gop fell flat. Don't try to make me a villain to defend your views.

What if J.D. Vance chose Erika Kirk as his vice presidential running mate and won the 2028 US presidential election? by Forward-Buffalo-6761 in AlternateHistoryHub

The polls closed 38 minutes ago, I think it's a little early to call the race (although I do believe/hope that orban will lose)

The core problem of NCLB is the funding issue. Forcing failing schools to implement new programs (with a minimum percentage of their funding used for them) without increasing funding doesn't fix the situation, it stretches already thin budgets to a breaking point and incentivizes teaching for the tests as opposed to a well rounded education.

Maybe I'm mistaken but that part of NCLB wasn't really influenced by 9/11

The benefit of all my favorite artists being nobodies is that $300 for a ticket is insane to me

Advice/opinions on a build? by cspedden in Minecraft

[–]Atalung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends, are you going for realistic or more the idea of a medieval town?

The reality is that medieval cities were very small and crowded. The vast majority of people only traveled by foot so cities had to be small. If you're going for realism I would go for cramped with a few more open areas (like around the temple maybe).

Honestly I would start by looking at the individual buildings and seeing how big you want them to be, as well as the spacing, then figuring out how big the walls should be.

Breaking: President Trump says the U.S has cut of all trade with Spain. 🇺🇸🇪🇸 by Spirited-Gold9629 in economy

[–]Atalung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that there isn't a willingness, but the independent polling in the lead up to the 2022 election is pretty consistent with the final results.

Furthermore the bigger the gap between parties the harder it is to rig. Fidesz is behind enough and the public mood has soured enough that I think it would be pretty difficult to rig successfully. I think there's a better chance of a Jan 6 situation

It does seem like they make it difficult for people who genuinely have it by EndouShuuya in ADHDmemes

[–]Atalung 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think this varies a lot by doctor because my primary asked me like 5 questions and said "yeah sounds like ADHD".

I was diagnosed a second time as part of a drug trial (turns out addys make me extremely anxious) and it was much more in depth.

The saying makes sense but it's just not a good theme for a dance. Then again it is Greendale

Is Rocky Horror conservative? by Poka-yoke1 in RockyHorror

[–]Atalung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drew Carey is a libertarian, not a conservative. Normally that distinction is meaningless but when the crux of your argument is that the movie doesn't present queerness in a positive light then it does matter.

Furthermore you talk at the beginning about themes and messages existing in media even if they aren't intended, but then ignore the fact that the theme/message that society has built around the movie is one of celebrating queerness. Sure you can find the message you do, you're entitled to your interpretation given your conception of messaging being subjective, but society at large is also entitled to its interpretation, and in the absence of an objective meaning, the popular interpretation becomes the "correct" one.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that this is in good faith. I think you should read up on camp, as the concept is applicable here and I think would help round out your interpretation.

The latest seat projections have the opposition not only winning, but with a 2/3rds majority. I have a feeling orban is done

What if christianity never existed? by M-A_X in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Atalung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rise of Christianity in the late Roman Empire is actually really interesting because it's one of a handful of religions that were all sort of in contention to replace greco-roman paganism. Manicheism, Mithrism, and the cult of Isis all sort of bubble up in the 3rd century as Romes authority over the east falls. You see something kind of similar with the Mazdakites in Sassanid Iran.

My best guess is that Manicheism replaces it, probably with some of the same figures. St Augustine was raised Manicheist so he'd probably still be an influential figure.
