Hawley is one of those weird Republicans who seem to care about a few things. Like 90% of the time he is an insane right wing nutjob and then 10% of the time he is teaming up with Bernie Sanders to advance some social program.

Seconded. I've been involved with some legal issues that are most assuredly individual vs. corporations, and he took the real people side along with us and was overtly against corporate bad acts.  It was a strange feeling.

genX Todd has never voted in his life before 2024. Votes trump.

Views the world has “gone to crap” because 1) no law and order 2) people smoking weed 3) gays and trans on tv 4) brown people 5) cursive 6) pledge of allegiance in school

A lot to unpack

1) Todd thinks the convicted felon who instigated J6 will revive law and order

2) State law for medicinal, dumbass

3) hey snowflake, remember bowie and culture club from like 40 years ago. 

4) puerto ricans are american citizens, dumbass.

5) cursive? Seriously? What happened to your brain that made this even register as a talking point?

6)  State law. In Pennsylvania - a student must provide written notice from a parent or guardian to gain exemption. Talk to your local school board about the pledge of allegiance

Somebody’s been watching foxnews. A lot.

I’m embarrassed this idiot is genX.

Also, cursive.

Regarding allentown, billy joel told genX to leave there 40 years ago. You probably saw the PSA video wedged between the culture club, bowie, george michael, queen, and elton john videos.

I know we use the term a lot, but people like this need to die in a fire. Literally. Slowly.

Jesus Christ fucking a cracker. Americans are incredibly shitty people. 

If I can find a way to make my way off this sinking ship I will thoroughly enjoy watching the destruction from afar.

Ironic that Joe was actually bringing back manufacturing to the US but since he's not terrified of trans people or brown people he had to go. Just like you job, Todd.  

 

But, you see, Joe was bringing back jobs in skilled labor. What the MAGATs want is to have all of their Temu crap manufactured in the good ole USA.

I've got some bad news for you.  GenX are majority Trumpkins.  I guess riding a bike without a helmet and drinking from the hose *might* not have made us stronger/smarter after all.

No generation is immune to being duped by skilled and well-funded propagandists.

As Americans age into the period of their lives where they consume TV news, they will fall into the Black Sleep of Kali Ma.

Until something changes our course, we will only get more and more fucked. The oligarchs have seen to it and will perpetuate our spiral towards pre-New Deal government until the next cataclysm.

No they don’t. They want whatever they are told they want. There is nothing the MAGATs won’t flip flop on.

I'm so often torn lately between the laughing +1 and rage +1. Went with laughter on both of these. By the way, your Black Sleep of the Kali Ma reference is from 41 years ago, in case anyone was needing to feel old today. Also, I'd bet anyone that's ever posted that shit on facebook about how we used to wear no helmets, ride in the back of the truck with our drunk dad drivin', and drink out the garden hose hasn't had a drink of water except from a single use plastic bottle in 20 years.

If Todd’s website for pro dart is any indication of the quality of their products, the clock is ticking on that business.

Hey Todd, 1998 called and has some recommendations on improving your website.

I have been slightly taken aback that handwriting is no longer taught.  But it's not that big a deal.

After I took mechanical drawing in high school, I took notes in a rough version of single-stroke Gothic lettering all through undergrad.  Had to go back to cursive in law school to be able to puke out essays faster.

And typing is much faster. And more legible. And nobody hand writes business letters and rarely personal ones. Shit gets outdated and fuck any schooling system that doesn’t adjust, freeing up time to teach new skills that didn’t exist when I was a kid.

Heard a MAGA the other day say the reason cursive isn't being taught anymore is so that people will no longer be able to read the constitution which will lead to their rights being stolen.

We're fucked.

And Otter. And voice to text for writing papers when you want a quick first draft.

I ditched cursive the first opportunity I had in like the sixth grade.

Focus on understanding rather than a sprint to write every word coming out the teacher’s mouth.

statement one: sure. Plenty of good individuals, but the prevailing winds are toxic and quite possibly irredeemable.

statement two: see statement one.

It's not my area of study, but there was research that suggested that handwriting did assist children with sensorimotor skils and memory. Arts integrated curricula were included with this as well. Perhaps one can find other newer methods that would perform likewise, but handing children a piece of paper and a pencil is a lot cheaper so I have no objections to it.

Plus, when the power grid fails and our infrastructure collapses, we'll all be educating the children in tents and encampments anyway.

They still teach hand writing (printing), they just aren’t teaching the second, more formal, script system the west has. I know Montessori schools will work the eye-hand coordination thing before kids can even spell. And it’s not like learning cursive was a light lift; I’m guessing we dedicated 20% of class time, and probably 40% of student effort, of 3rd grade for it. And as someone with shitty eye-hand coordination, it was 95% of my school angst. Fucking hand cramps while failing to get that shit legible.

Two beefs my parents had with my early education were a lack of practice of penmanship (they had Palmer penmanship with a lot of drawing of loops) and math tables.  So, they forced those two things on me outside of school.  As a small child, I pretty much detested practicing anything, but I did those things at their insistence and was probably better off for it.

Weirdly, having to learn a system of printing in drafting/mechanical drawing in my teens transformed my handwriting.

in undergrad and law school I would always make test outlines, and then re-copy them by writing by hand as I spoke the words I was writing.   That way my memory would be provoked by hearing, seeing and using motor skills.

Which was just a workaround for my shitty memory.

That’s similar to the iterative strategy I developed for myself in undergrad, where I recopied and progressively condensed my notes until all information/concepts fit on an index card or two. The process could also include speaking the notes aloud or drawing small symbols/pictures/flow charts, whatever was needed to get what I needed to stick in my brain. 

It’s a good coping strategy for those of us who suffer from simple minds and addled brains.

See first year, I actually made outlines, thinking that the process of doing it would reinforce and aid retention.  Others obtained outlines from various sources, including me.

What I failed to do, though, was sit there and read and re-read the goddamn things over and over and over and over again for at least a day.  I hate rote memorization, but this is one way to accompiish it.

So, making my own outlines got me thoroughly meadoker grades in the first year of law school. But when I stopped making my own outlines, used others, but did the obsessive re-reading thing, I made law review grades for the rest of my tenure.

Also helps with dyslexia from what I understand.   My kiddos who all have dyslexia to varying degrees did fine with cursive and learned it rather quickly when I taught it to them over a week one summer.   As a person with dysgraphia, my shitty handwriting transcends all formats and language, even non written forms.
