IIRC, there are some who think this could be a reason why there are more cancer cases now as tiny microplastics make their way into various cells.

Many of those that move out are conservative and want to be with their kind.

In 2018, native Texans voted for Beto 51-40 and people who moved here voted for Cruz 57-42.

Only for his lawyers to send the prosecutors a copy of every text message that he sent and received for the last 2 years. Haha

That boost in price is minimal compared to how much they raised prices in the last 2 years.

I wish it worked that way for me. Adhd makes it so difficult to have and keep hobbies and projects. At work things get done because there’s rigid deadlines, which don’t exist in a hobby.

Tax Hawk and FreeTax USA are some free options that will still be available to you!

Tax Hawk is still an option for those not in a pilot state!

Free software like TaxHawk and FreetaxUSA popped up once TurboTax and HR Block started charging people. I get your point, but it doesn’t carry as much weight with the fre, easy software that’s out there.

Why not use free software like TaxHawk? It’s been around for a while. At least since HR Block and TurboTax started charging people a few years ago.

You can download forms from the IRS website or use free software like TaxHawk. Many people prefer to use similar software that you have to pay for or pay an accountant to do their taxes for them.

Not to mention the fact that many people don’t know what FOSS means, given that it’s not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.

I’m still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.

How do you give a shit about minority lives? You’re defending Pinochet who led the coup in Chile and built concentration camps for political opponents. He followed in the footsteps of the nazis.

Edit: fixed weird autocorrect

I came across a company called Flower Turbines, they sell tulip-shaped wind turbines. They look nice and hopefully would do well on the energy front. They claim that their turbines start producing energy with just a touch over 1 mph winds.

It looks like it would be a cute way to generate clean energy.

You don’t think it’s important to teach how to prevent a prolapse or anal tearing/fissures? Or stress the importance of condom use in anal sex to prevent hepatitis?

We both agree that we shouldn’t be teaching sexual positions and how to bring a partner to climax, bit I think we should be teaching kids how to safely have sex so they aren’t hurting themselves.

Sounds like you learned a ton about straight sex, especially given that most sex Ed programs only tell students to abstain. You learned something about condoms, which I assume means that you learned how to put one on.

In most of the country, sex Ed is one video about puberty and then in health being told to abstain from sex to avoid pregnancy and STDs with detailed descriptions about the pain and torture of STDs.

It would be superhelpful if sex Ed programs were expanded upon your curriculum to dispel sex myths, like women can’t get pregnant if they are on top or take a shower right after. It would also be good to discuss how to prevent harm during vaginal and anal sex.

I think it’s wrong to assume that man=financial duties and woman=domestic duties. That worked in the 50s because of rampant sexism, but that train of thought is long-since outdated. I get that power dynamic is ingrained into straight culture, but especially in the scenario you’re talking about only serves to make the woman inferior to the man by making her clean for him even when they are both working. I always thought it was weird that men wouldn’t learn to cook, if you really loved the ither person wouldn’t you take the time to learn to cook at least a couple dishes to help out?

The two of you need to have a conversation about how your relationship will work. Talk about how the finances will be handled and how the chores will be handled. What works for tv couples may not work for y’all.

That’s interesting, I didn’t realize that a photograph counted as part of the directory information. I figured that was why photos are included in the list of items on the parent consent forms sent out every year.

It was my understanding (from admin, teacher professional orgs, and teacher unions) that pictures on websites and social media need consent to be posted. So we were told that any student without a consent form had to be edited out or blurred on any picture posted anywhere.

Which country are you talking about? Us federal law required consent to opt-in. As far as I know, FERPA hasn’t received an update concerning that.

That’s true while on the street or in a public park. That does not apply to students at a school function. There are laws protecting students in such a situation, which is why in the US, parents have to give permission for images of students to be published.

In schools, they normally have parents fill out a form giving consent to use a student’s picture. There should be a way to revoke that consent.
