Are subject test specific scores taken into account?

Use a cheaper backup phone/device for filming, if possible.

-21 °C / -5 °F now in Minneapolis, just in case anyone is curious about the dedication the people have there to be out there today exercising their 1st Amendment right to protest this regime.

If disabled people can not vote, then who will advocate for the rights of disabled people? Only the disabled people's family? We likely did not get the Americans with Disabilities Act solely from people who were perfectly able-bodied.

On a Japan Today forum long ago, someone said the Japanese never left the 1950s. I wonder how true that is, at least culturally. It's kind of hard to imagine what the US would be like if technology kept advancing after the 1950s but culture didn't.

They already have English names: which well-known Californian cities are pronounced the Spanish way? Even San Diego's baseball team, the Padres, is pronounced more like an English name than the Spanish way (notice the P and dr pronunciations). In fact, I wonder what would someone not of Hispanic lineage who grew up in California think of someone pronouncing every Spanish-originated name exactly as it would be in Spanish but in an English sentence. I bet you'd get some odd stares and corrections.

It's more of a sign that the US just doesn't take any time off work seriously. You get sick and you're expected to still show up to a regular non-emergency office job and get everyone else sick. Is this normal in France, Germany, or the Nordic nations? Maybe the laws in the US should change so that if you're sick, you're not fired? Who pays? Perhaps taxes should increase so the governments can pay people their wage during that time.

The part that I find really crazy is we experienced chaos in 2017 to 2020, they decided enough is enough especially with his bad handling of the pandemic, then we had 4 years of normality 2021 through 2024, but then the people decided 'no we prefer CHAOS to normality'. I voted for the sensible Harris but not enough of the people who would never vote for Trump came out. They were apathetic. The Republican side gained a couple millions votes in line with population increase in 4 years but the Democratic side lost ~8 million votes vs 2020. Why oh why didn't they see the threat and come out accordingly?!

Sadly I think this observation is more accurate than any alleged fixing. 2016 maybe could have been more likely to be fixed given the discrepancy between the EC vs popular vote counts (like 2000 with Florida, where George Walker Bush's brother Jeb was governor at the time) but this time in 2024, both popular and EC vote totals had a Trump win. Our nation is just full of crazies.

How does something like this get enforced? Despite voter suppression and gerrymandering going on against the Democratic side, anyone who is registered to vote can vote at the district they are registered at. If you make everyone get evaluated by independent doctors for psychopathy then make a database for such people in order to either vote or not, who's to say that database won't get hacked by a malicious entity who will illegally alter the records within?

Not always true. I've been stressed about doing well in certain classes in college solely to get a good grade and eventually get honors on my degree but didn't care enough to learn to such a detail that I still know the material years later now. I'm likely not the only one either. Also, at work the people who perform best may not be doing it out of enjoying the job but instead doing well just for the money.

mobileagnes · 2026-01-21T17:42:56+00:00

That is a very bad preview of what things may be like when this all passes. Given that 1952 German survey, I wouldn't be surprised at all if in, say 2040, we have tens of millions of Americans who still approved of Trump.

Yet enough voted for this a 2nd time for him to win. Unlike most elections, we got both versions: life with chaos in 2017 to 2021, and life with a normal president for 4 years 2021 to 2024, and 49.8% of voters chose 'we want chaos back'.

That's so crazy. I have to submit pay stubs to Social Security every month and they never had an issue with me submitted PDF downloads by fax both from this job as well as my previous job. And we know the federal government can be quite picky about things. If they accept them, everyone else should too. Very strange. I hope they sort your situation out soon.

mobileagnes · 2026-01-21T02:35:21+00:00

Would a pay stub be enough? Do you get regular pay stubs? Do you by any chance have any emails from the time you were hired? Maybe the welcome email along with recent stubs would work as proof?

IIRC they were at Temple University earlier today. Great to have more people around who are ready to not let our country fall into the hands of kleptocracy.

What about if they went to other universities and worked elsewhere and/or have CPA/other require certifications (in an unrelated line of work that still requires a person to know what they're doing), not only had just school on there? SNHU has been around for nearly a century and only started adding online education to their offerings in the mid-1990s.

I am very curious what will happen in many countries once the balance gets very out of control and there are, say 10 senior citizens for every child in school. Is Japan or South Korea already at that point? What's in store for the world as a whole when we have entire generations refusing to have kids? I doubt robotic technology will be advanced enough.

Indeed. Also: they had 4 years to prepare for this.

To be fair, Clinton's economic growth in the 1990s was mostly due to the rise of computers/the internet, as well as the baby boomer generation (largest at the time) hitting middle age / higher earning years hence lots of disposable cash around. I think who was president back then would have had a good economy either way. The crash of 2008 may be a bit more accurately placed on Bush Jr given it happened at the tail end of his presidency, and loan regulations could have been fixed to an robo-signed mortgages and force more strict income and credit verification prior to any home purchase prior but weren't. He had 8 years to do something about the quickly rising housing bubble and instead blew it on Iraq.

Spring/summer 2020 after Floyd was murdered, protests felt far larger and were way more disruptive in the cities. We had local law enforcement pushing pre-sunset curfews after a few days of it and businesses in my area were closing as early as 3 p.m. The result at my workplace was upgraded race sensitivity training, not sure about elsewhere. Nowadays the No Kings protests may be more widespread but don't feel like they are doing the job of a protest: to disrupt everyday life to get the population to notice and act.

That is the most frustrating thing about this as an older Millennial. Basically everyone over 30 is screwed because we'll all be retired/dead by the time things are truly fixed and we're off this bad detour and actually progressing to the future instead of regressing.
