This covers two textbooks- same name, same authors, one for california and one for texas. Some significant differences occur: California's version indicates the second amendment opens some regulation, Texas' does not. California m

I was under the impression there is, within those fields, significant concern about the way men are treated. Males who are passionate about early childcare education are often viewed as dangerous by the parents. Same for male nurses.

TBH I'm super happy to live in a world where someone is crying based on things unrelated to basic survival. I want to actively work to a world where everyone's lowest low point of life is something I would consider just a minor in

A thing I think people don't fully recognize is that social dynamics in a group requires a few things that are difficult: * Consistent presence (a weekly hacknight? Go every week! Go every week for months ! and each and every time tal

They are bonkers because how can computer science deal with "things" when it's almost entirely dealing with people's needs? How can women have on average the "reverse of emotional stability" and yet be driven f

IMO part of this is that nuanced processing is actually a very expensive operation and people would be unable to function without some level of abstraction- language as in all things. That's why, for example, Jeff Vandermeer writes in
