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.

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

It wasn't age locked per se. If you were in Honors English, they assumed you were reading at a higher level and could check out books one grade level higher than you and if you were in on-level English you were not allowed to read above "grade level".

I can understand keeping a 6th grader from checking out a bunch of 1st grade level books, but discouraging kids from pushing themselves was weird

Really? I've never heard that and I'm in Texas

There has been talk banning pronouns, which would cause chaos in schools. That would mean that these words couldn't be said in schools: I, me, you, him, her, his, hers, mine, yours, it, its, they, them, theirs, he, she, one, this, these, that, who, and which among many others.

Speaking in a classroom would become very difficult avoiding the list of banned words.

In Texas, they would ask whether you want sweet or unsweet and you'd get a glass of iced tea. The closer you are to Louisiana, the sweeter the tea.

You have to specify hot tea, if that's what you want.

Yes, biblically it serves as a reminder to god and humanity that god promised he wouldn't use a flood to destroy all life on earth again. I guess he was worried that he'd forget or something. Like oops. I can't kill all humanity by flood, I need to use a different method, good thing that rainbow reminded me.

It'd such a bad feedback loop. Employees don't always feel safe being honest at exit interviews, so they say what they think HR wants to hear and HR just takes it as fact. Then they build training like this based off what Former employees felt safe telling HR and the cycle continues.

The ping ping table at least lasts longer than a pizza party, but it's no more significant. When retiring, nobody wishes they ate more pizza or played more ping pong at work. They wish they had been able to grow and make more money so they'd be better taken care of.

Is there a brand that's better for LED? I get migraines and the stroking effect of LED bulbs can be a trigger.

LED christmas bulbs particularly bad. It felt like walking into a rave at the Christmas store.

The US was founded by Christian fanatics that left England because of their extreme beliefs.

The Spanish came to the Americas and established missions to convert the indigenous people.

Depending on location in the Americas, religion was either first or a very close second.

Sure the founding fathers created a government that wasn't directly controlled by the church, but religion has been a major contributor. Don't forget that the church used parts of the Bible to justify slavery, which was a hot topic starting with the founding of the US.

Academically, make sure to start off each semester well. It's much less stressful to have some As and Bs at the beginning in case something comes up or you bomb a test, rather than starting with an F and attempting to climb out of it.

Socially, be fun and get to know people but don't be a drunk asshole. Your peers may interview you for a job one day and it would be bad if they remembered you as a drunk asshole.

Financially, start off in community College. You can still find some that are only $1-2K for tuition and books per semester. It's so much cheaper than starting at a 4 year university. Also check the pricing for living somewhere near the campus vs the dorms. At my university, the dorms were about 2.5 times more expensive than living with a roommate 5-10 minutes away.

Explore a bunch of different paths by taking different electives. Also don't put all your elective classes in the first 2 years, life will be much easier in your last year of college if you only have a couple high level classes and a PE class or an elective class that you can enjoy and relax with. Finally, don't be afraid to change your major.

Some districts have high school start early, so that they can work in the afternoon. They also have to stagger school start times for the bus schedule to work. Without enough drivers, the bus has to pick up and drop off HS students and then go pick up other students.

I can understand the homework, as there has been some research suggesting that it isn't as beneficial as we believe.

There would need to be a different schedule for students in many school activities, like sports, music, and theater among others that need some before or after school practice.
