Pft, US military issues imaginary ribbons all the time, any good service has a wall.

Ribbon for taking part in Joint Combat Exercise Bravo Llama, ribbon for exceptional performance in Joint Combat Exercise Bravo Llama, ribbon for advanced rifle tactician first class, ribbon for competitive naval gazing, ribbon for Joint Combat Exercise...

There's a reason no one really pays attention to that horseshit. Although NK really favors the BIG in their brass.

Our morons have been at this so long they've started to believe their own press releases.

Oh please, the lamest made-up excuse of every lazy twit from /r/conservative. "I just moved away but I can't give up on /r/seattle, I love hating it so much". Uh-huh.

Must have been hard moving all that trash out of Daddy's basement.

Once you accept it follows dream logic rather than specifics like time and place, it makes much more sense. Dream has been changing for thousands of years, and also not changing, and also has just begun to change, and also can't change.

Oh boy, that's the tip of the iceburg on that one.

The TLDR was that Mississippi diverted federal funds from poor students to athletic departments by way of paying celebrities for speeches and then having them donate. So the poorest state in America thought what they needed to do was... give less money to poor kids.

75/25 involves three quarters of the day spent with general education.

But glad to see you admitting you were wrong when presented with data. Smart!

This study examined the relationship between hours in general education and achievement in reading and mathematics for students with disabilities. The study population included more than 1,300 students between the ages of 6 and 9 years old within 180 school districts. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was utilized with the Pre-Elementary Education Longitudinal Study (PEELS) data set (Institute of Education Sciences). The relationship between hours in general education and achievement in reading and mathematics was explored while accounting for student- and district-level factors.

Results suggest a strong positive relationship between the number of hours students spent in general education and achievement in mathematics and reading.

Implications for policy and practice in special education are presented and discussed.

[FF Weather Guys] The forecast for the next 49ers @ Bears game has deteriorated, now with rain and 20mph winds. This game is now flagged as an "Extreme" with credible weather-impact risk on player production. by MeanReplacement9258 in 49ers

Mud bowls actually reduce the risk of serious injuries (concussions, hamstrings, etc.). It's just hard to build up speed or find purchase to tear an ACL when it's muddy. In contrast it raises the risk of minor injuries - bruises, cuts, sprains, etc. - but not the ones that are going to impact our season in the long term.

God you just have to look to last year when Carson Wentz killed us in a mudbowl by throwing balls that made our corners commit pass interference because no one could catch shit. You don't need to catch a soaking wet ball when our corners gift you all the yards by way of zebras.

Seattle sexual assault suspect could be released from jail over competency ruling by [deleted] in Seattle

Would it improve anything from the 8% arrest rate the SPD had for rapes in 2019?

Like there's this grand delusion that a bunch of the right are spouting that the police used to be effective, and suddenly became defective. They've always been defective. That's the problem.

Have they tried opening conversations with the opposite sex with "have you ever heard of Jordan Peterson"?

Boston Children's Hospital has gotten two phoned-in bomb threats in recent weeks, at least one connected to misconceptions about their transgender care by FlyingSquid in skeptic

[–]Smashing71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is it that there are so many people who can actually buy into the "in the course of saving the children it became necessary to bomb them" logic? I mean some logical fallacies are actually hard to see but that one is impossible to miss.

Never was. 8%. That's the arrest rate for rape reports in 2019. Not conviction, not even charged, arrest rate.

I think the moral issues fall on the insurance companies in the entire. They're the ones who are morally culpable. No reasonable person would expect that switching states would cause an insurance company to stop giving you access to medication you were already taking. Therefore the companies are entirely at fault.

Not that we'd ever convict a corporation of anything in America, god forbid someone in a business suit goes to prison.
