I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.
Sometimes I turn into a bird.
I downvoted the top comment in this chain.
That said, ya’ll being dramatic about this getting a few upvotes. It takes about 0 braincells to half-read a comment while doomscrolling in bed, and then upvote it. I don’t think it’s worth calling people out for this, feels toxic.
This poll annoyed me so much I googled it. It’s just a really shitty poll. There is no reason to believe the 5 listed jobs is a subset of the answers. This is an infographic summarizing a single question from a survey that seems to be commissioned by LEGO.
Article from the “Harris Poll”
I couldn’t find like, an academic paper describing the poll. There’s no methodology for it I can find. It’s just some corporate fluff piece, frankly.
So I guess 3% if these are the only 3 countries included
Yep, only 3 countries. This is just a trash poll.
It says all the children were given an option to pick up to 3 answers.
Mmhmm, I also noticed that, which is why it’s the second sentence in my post.
Given the small sample size
It’s a survey of 3,000? It’s still possible that only one person was giving the survey to the Chinese students.
But yeah, it does look like the Chinese students got different instructions or had them explained differently or something. Just a strange poll.
18+52+37+47+56=210 for China. Each child could pick up to 3 answers. The average number of jobs the Chinese children picked was 2.
For USA/UK the average was about 1. Very few children selected more than one answer.
That’s weird. What a weird poll. Were there only 5 possible choices? I would have told you I wanted to be a veterinarian at that age, if I answered at all. (I did not become a vet, I became a failure lmao)
Tbf 1y coin is made out of aluminum, not copper. They float.
We would call them yennies. Its probably time to get rid of them, but I’ll be sad.
The 10000 yen note is obviously a yenjamin.
Hi, I read the article.
24% of all households are living paycheck to paycheck, while 29% of low-income households are living paycheck to paycheck this year, according to the article.
The title should (imho) read “nearly 3 in 10 low income Americans” instead of nearly a third. But, “nearly a quarter” wouldn’t be right either.
I’m also surprised the number is only 3 in 10…
This doesn’t have anything to do with ATC, they aren’t furloughed. They’re working still, just not being paid.
That would be nice if they did that in solidarity with other federal workers, but ATC isn’t furloughed, they’re working. So they’ll get paid.
Haha no big deal. I don’t even read the article half the time either, too many ads, paywalls, etc
Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.
It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn’t like the organization you work for, you’re screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.
BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn’t read it either.
Have you ever woke up and felt like garbage despite not doing anything diabolical the previous night (drinking etc)? And you wondered why you felt like shit?
The answer may surprise you
This is from a Pearson online graded thing, if you don’t happen to recognize it. It probably would have taken 161/4 (edited) as a correct answer as well (IMO 40 1/4 is ambiguous, improper).
The software is more than capable of determining that 40.25=40+1/4 so its not really excusable (unless its specifically trying to teach fractions for middle schoolers or something)
That said, A lot of my calc 3 homework (multi variable calculus) in college was run by Pearson, and while it wasn’t perfect, the fact that it was autograded with multiple attempts allowed made learning the material easy. Immediate feedback is incredible.
Fuck Pearson though, honestly. This shit is expensive and it’s still got noticeable flaws. Last Pearson course I took kept trying to get me to use their shitty AI and pay extra for shit. I’m a student, not a potential customer to shake down.
I see a lot of people clowning on this guy but is it possible that something like this could come in handy for commutes with elevation changes?
Coast to work and charge the battery, use pedal assist on the way home uphill.
Seems too niche to sell a bike for this, though.
The Trump administration had warned that it would lay off workers during the shutdown, and President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that the cuts were aimed at “Democrat agencies” or initiatives.
Hello CNBC?? You need to push back against this statement. Federal employees, until this administration, are nonpartisan. We pay the budgets of these departments through bills passed in bipartisan Congresses.
The only department I can think of that’s fully partisan right now is DOGE.
Just say it: the Trump admin wants to cut services to the people of this nation (Park service, CDC, FDA, EPA, NASA, NOAA, … etc)
Here’s the paper if ur looking for it
Unsupervised discovery of behaviorally relevant brain states in rats playing hide-and-seek
Furloughed IRS workers were told in a letter that they will receive back pay when the shutdown ends. That letter came a day after an internal draft memo suggested that the Trump administration might question its obligation to give back pay to some furloughed employees.
Cnbc should have mentioned here that its probably against the law for federal workers to not get back pay due to a law passed in 2019 (also trump administration)
It feels like major media companies are manufacturing consent for this by mentioning that memo repeatedly but not pushing back on it. Not even mentioning the legality of it.
He’s talking about getting rid of military members who can’t shave due to medical reasons.
People with curly hair can have ingrown hairs from shaving. Most people with no shave chits are black.
Don’t let him trick you into thinking this speech is just stupid. Its stupid, but he’s also trying to give generals plausible deniability to remove minority military members and women.
Minorities too. There’s a reason he was harping on shaving standards. Some people with curly hair get ingrown hairs when they shave every day. Causes infection and scarring. You can get a “no shave chit” - medical can excuse you from needing to be clean shaven.
Its mostly black men with these chits.
He’s trying to give anyone who wants one an excuse to remove any one who isn’t white enough (and male) from serving.
Friend, the totals are percentages, not absolute counts
