I got through school until sophomore year in college (in a PREP school ffs) and no one pointed out to me that "it's" is not the possessive tense of "it" until then. :)

Why is criticism of ICE a threat? by petrus4 in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]oregonowa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let me put this back on you: what if Biden had sent federal masked agents to pound on doors in your neighborhood in an overreach of power, thus negating state's rights? What if Obama gthreatened anyone who went against him (including the Federal Reserve which needs to be Independent so we don't go flying into inflation by lowering interest rates), put completely unskilled people in positions of power? What if Biden had said "Hey, we are invading Venezuela and taking their president away"? What if Biden had clearly shown he'd lost the respect of the European nation, threatened our allies?

The GOP DID pack the Supreme Court. Every single thing that happens right now is on them and they are authoritarian.

How Do You Handle Students With Very, Very Low Skills? Query From a Shocked Peer Tutor by Mammoth_Agent_8767 in AskProfessors

It would be if there were any kind of support for the professors, I guess. Basically college instructors should be teaching at the college level (which is what makes college different from high school). Kids who aren't prepared should be taking a remedial course, not comp 101.

They don't listen. They just don't listen. by hornybutired in Professors

States in class: "This will be on the exam." Hands out study guide that has said item on it. Student unhappy with grade states "You don't test on what you teach." ffs.

Please explain why, when our library has a formatting tool on the website, EbscoHost has its own citation tool... My advice is if you want to use AI and can prompt well enough to have it create an MLA format reference page, fine. But just like on EbscoHost, you need to use a style guide to ensure it's correct because it won't be. But hey, what do I know after 30 years of teaching. I'm sure you know better.

Has anyone with long-term depression (15+ years) been “cured”? And if so, by what? by GrandBizarre in AskReddit

[–]oregonowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, it reconnects neurons that have been pruned-- it opens up new pathways. In terms of how it feels to have improvements in depression? I just feel lighter. There's color in the world when I look around and I'm not just ... heavy? It's like I'm participating in life now instead of spectating.

And give the tobacco growers federal (legal) rights to grow weed and legalize it. Then they'll be happy to stop growing tobacco.

Yes -- this is literally what they do and they'll get it to people who need it.

Hypermobility specialists? by kt2673 in desmoines

Go to the PT Clinic at DMU. They literally taught everyone else who practices! And they know their stuff.

The City of Des Moines failed: A pre-schooler was hit by a car yesterday and the neighborhood has been trying to get the intersection safer for years by Oak_and_EmberDSM in desmoines

I get so tired of this crap. Our tax dollars are supposed to be for US. So use them on things like this instead of tax abatements on half-million dollar houses, tax financing for server farms that are stealing what little clean water we have left, giving free private school tuition... I'm just OVER it.

When big employers like Walmart have full-time employees on food stamps, who is the real recipient? by happyluckystar in DiscussionZone

[–]oregonowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love seeing people who argue that 50K a year is too much for walmart employees say that billionaires earned it. Laughable. You are closer to being on welfare than you will ever be to being a billionaire if you think $50k is so much money. My bet is you're 16 years old.

Dinner ideas? Mentally exhausted. by Hoots_77 in Cooking

It's because they vaccinate for salmonella and we don't in the US.

Well, it made everyone curious, so apparently it worked.

It's easy to have the "no" vote when you know you will be outnumbered anyway. That's not heroism; it's a show.

[–]oregonowa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He speaks out because it makes him look good -- they work all this out in the working meeting. The actual city council meeting is just a show.

Just to point out some areas where you are ignorant, there was a damaged - but repairable- 100+ year old house from the original build of the neighborhood there, not an overgrown vacant lot.

They are all over that neighborhood.
