Might be a nurse, too. I have met some nurses who very clearly weren’t taught to do things like solve problems or think critically.

Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paperEnglish3·18 hours agoAll of those are MORE expensive, at scale. If you can just hand 1500 kids a $200 Chromebook that fulfills ALL those functions, that’s $300k, vs 1500 e-ink readers at $40 a pop, 1500 digital typewriters @ $100 apiece, etc. Hell, that scientific calculator ALONE might be $200+ in some markets because Texas Instruments practically has the market cornered (to the point that I had to go to the administration of my school district to show them that the Casio I had was functionally identical).
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paperEnglish11·18 hours agoSo many donations and funds for schools are earmarked, you can only spend them in specific ways. If you spend them in ways that don’t align with the earmark, it’s incredibly easy for the donors or the state to claw them back. So that $40mil your local suburban school district spent on a new football stadium? That was likely earmarked SPECIFICALLY for football, they can’t really just swish the money to better textbooks, or whatever. Same with tech funding - you get $250k to upgrade your school district with Chromebooks or whatever, you MUST buy within what the funding packet tells you you can buy, and you can’t really do anything else with it.
That doesn’t even get into the cartelization of textbooks and school software. There’s so few real options that it’s incredibly easy for these companies to collude without really looking like it’s collusion.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Politics@sh.itjust.works•The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officially shut down at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026English2·1 day agoThey’ve already been doing that second bit. Remember how they’ve been driving vehicles of people they’ve stolen away? It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that they’ve been stealing personal possessions and identities.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online AttacksEnglish1·2 days agoThe SAM episode was a little meh, personally, but I like that they’re dealing with the shorter season format and still doing episodes based around each character.
IIRC a few African groups have legends of people trying to tame zebras as long term mounts or livestock, and these legends rarely end well for the attempter.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald TrumpEnglish1·2 days agoSo someone else also pointed out grand jury members in TX are appointed positions of “respectable” members of society.
Sadly, this just sounds like the Good Old Boy Network doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto The Onion@midwest.social•Trump Administration Announces That We Don’t Know Where the Sun Goes at Night | After deciding carbon dioxide does no harm, it was the logical next move.English4·3 days agoPlease, we all know that great Ra carries it on his boat through the Sea of Reeds and must battle Apep to be able to raise the sun in the heavens the next morning.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto news@lemmings.world•Americans think World War III is likely within next 5 years, new poll showsEnglish2·3 days ago2000 in each, so it sounds like the total sample size is about 10k.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters18·3 days agoA lot of PDs and federal forces get taught by the IDF, who are notorious for targeting genitalia and eyes.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto news@lemmings.world•How Jeffrey Epstein used the glamour of the Nobel Peace Prize to entice his global network of elitesEnglish5·3 days agoNah, Trump has made noise about wanting one since Obama got one. That’s literally it, he’s just jealous.
I too would like my public execution be at an unknown (to me) time and place. Like Burgess Meredith in The Obsolete Man.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Report finds children with mental health diagnoses often incarcerated instead of getting treatmentEnglish1·4 days agoConsider that a lot of these kids are either poor or nonwhite or both, as well.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto news@lemmings.world•Canadian separatists say they discussed moving to the US dollar and creating a new military in White House meetingEnglish2·5 days agoIt sure would create a serious issue, possibly even civil war in Canada. The Trump admin (because I do not believe Trump himself is at the wheel anymore) is trying to do to Canada what Russia was trying to do to Ukraine via Donbas - sow enough “well these people WANT to be American, but Canada won’t let them” to sound like a casus belli to our population in the US.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Atheism@lemmy.world•The “He Gets Us” Campaign Has a PR Problem No Super Bowl Ad Can SolveEnglish3·5 days agoActually, marketing is a great way to make it LOOK like things are working. Your comment is exactly what a shareholder might hear in response to that same question.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump receives trophy as he’s named ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal’English17·5 days agoHe’s the one kid at your birthday party who’s upset they’re not getting attention too.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•'Mar-a-Lago Face' Is About More Than Just Looks — It's About PowerEnglish4·6 days agoAnd it requires you to STAY in that power and wealth. These sorts of treatments require a lot of regular upkeep and maintenance injections and monitoring.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) suddenly drops unprecedented air restrictions over El Paso, southern New Mexico9·6 days agoI can’t see them conducting it so close to a city, unless it’s meant to be a show of force or some bullshit.
Mirshe@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Will Order Defense Department to Buy Coal Power | Climate and security experts say the plan is outdated and could place the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage.4·6 days agoHell yeah we need the USS Admiral Kuznetsov.
No no, you can’t call it that because Kavanaugh hates that they’re associated with him.
So do it as often as possible and remind people of it.
