The lawsuit was about the fact the school knew for months about the problem and did nothing to address it. If they plausibly couldn't know, it wouldn't have been their fault but this was reported to the admin repeatedly and they did nothing.

One of them was just found to have published comments in their college newspaper insisting that rape was only a crime if the woman was actively resisting. This is a dangerous move away from the current legal consent standard.They will re-define rape out of existence.

There's always churn and turnover, I've been part of communities that lost up to 3 of the top 5 sites for something etc. and the community bounces back in a couple of months. Streaming sites aren't horrifically difficult to set up so they will often reappear shortly with similar interface.

It sounds reasonable because at the core it's a mental healthcare system, something this country threw away without a backup plan decades ago.

I was gonna say this was some high-quality bullshit but after this year I just assume RFK Jr. was involved somehow.

Unfortunately it's gonna be the mailroom intern who followed directions from someone else to open all "that other mail", not the person who made the decision.

That would be the job the Congress's Government Accountability Office. Having 2 totally seperate and independent orgs in charge of government efficiency is peak Trump logic.

They get charged as adults in court all the time. Girls of this age can get pregnant and in some places this makes them a legal adult regardless of age. Most places in the US they can get married. It's hard to feel they are full children given all this.

Also, they can't get treatment without parental consent, which is not true of most of the above.

Edit: and I forgot join the military! Statistically far more people regret their military service than their gender care.

A lot of these I remember learning from teachers rather than my parents. Also reinforced by other kids, assorted relatives, etc. Even good parents can't protect you from the rest of society.

Oooo! Do Guaifenesin next! That also has basically no evidence of effectiveness despite being on the market for ages.

What you're describing is called a citation or reference tree and they are used to visualize complex set of references. Web of Science has a nice one, Scopus also has a tree view, I believe. Google Scholar has the information to make one, but doesn't.

 

I'm reading Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD by Susan Pinksky and it is full of helpful advice and useful tips. But I don't like to hear the truth sometimes.

The actual quote from the book is "If you are purchasing items for a project, pause to put the date you will DO the project on your calendar (preferably within the week). If the project doesn't get done, reschedule it so those supplies stay on your radar.... We should only buy items for which we have an imminent plan or need."
