    chatgpt / ai 
    rearrange it some, add some color because ai on their end will scan to determine if you used ai 

    I use Claude AI to check grammar, organization, and clarity. It’s a great tool and using it that way, AI doesn’t write it but it makes the essays much better.
  2.  Anybody else mentally fucking done with all the scholarship applications?  At my kid's top choice, the general scholarship app has 6 essay questions.  Then the college of engineering's scholarship app had another 3 essay questions.  But, you gotta hedge your bets and fill out the scholarship apps at some other schools too...I've (I mean she) has written like 20+ essays at this point. Holy fuck it's a process.  I was surprised when the scholarship administrator at her first choice said that many scholarships have zero applicants. Now I know why. It's a pain in the ass...and we haven't even touched the FAFSA yet which every school requires you submit even though I know she won't qualify for any income based aid.

  3. How do you win elections without abandoning the most vulnerable populations?  Openly supporting these social causes is now a proven loser.  So, your choices are 1) to abandon those causes, 2) use deception, 3) put all of the focus on the economic issues and ignore everything else during campaigns.

    #3. Americans will shrug their shoulders and accept ANY policy you implement as long as their perception of the economy is good. Run on the economy and then implement anything you want.

    Yep. We took our 16yr old daughter in to get implanted birth control good for 3 years in case they outlaw it. Now we are pulling up stakes as quickly as we can. It's a logistical nightmare(small business owner) but will be worth the move for thuh wimmen folk.

    No state will be safe, unfortunately.

    Flights to Mexico are going to get expensive AF.

    At least WestJet just announced an Austin>Vancouver direct flight for your birth control needs.


  5. I don’t see where that article touches on the idea of financial incentives for elementary schools that incorporate the Bible into their curriculum. Again, I’m not doubting it, but I want my outrage to be fact-based and not internet-speculation-based.

    The incentive is currently starting at $60/student.

    I think it’s been approved but it is voluntary to implement by school district. I’m sure there are others more knowledgeable here who can tell me if I’m wrong.

    "Voluntary" meaning that there is a financial incentive to use the Bible curriculum.  That financial incentive is $0 state funding if you don't implement it.

  7. I was an air fryer skeptic until last year.  I bought the Ninja and probably use it 3 times a week.  My favorite it to cook boneless chicken thighs in it for gyros.  

    If you haven't tried the frozen Ore-Ida Fast Food Fries in an air fryer yet, you're missing out.  I don't know how they actually taste like they're deep fried but just a tiny spray of duck fat spray and 10 minutes later they're the best fries you can make at home without actually frying. Roasted potatoes and Brussel sprouts also turn out great in the air fryer.
