The prison system mirrors American parenting. They do not see anything wrong with domination.

For my self preservation I don't bike there. I don't want to be the statistic, and there are so many other places to bicycle without dangerous car traffic. Driving in general works out because the people around us can usually compensate for the mistakes that we'll invariably make, and thus avoid (or mitigate) an accident. This is harder for a bicyclist --- a bicyclist can't accelerate away, handle a swipe, recover from a collision, and is harder to see.

You're kidding right? How are pictures of cocks more dangerous than insincerity, lies, trophy girlfriends, mistrust, and narcissism? There is a reason the movie contrasted these elements. Something about American morality.

It works very well in inner-city schools. See The Lives of Children: The Story of the First Street School by Dennison.

I can't imagine that this article was supposed to add value to the public-school debate. Here are two non-controversial goals that children should achieve while growing up: 1. They should build durable cognitive connections. 2. And they should flourish (which has a psychological meaning). The public schools address neither goal. They can't. They actively work against both goals. Most children would be better off without school (since public school is a massive opportunity cost).

They had to widen the columns in the chart to make room for Tesla's growth numbers. What is interesting is that Tesla is right behind BMW and Daimler for the "luxury and sports" segment.

Do you need a PickTORead account to read the original article? It says "read the original" but there is no link. Perhaps it is broken?

An obstacle for Wyden and Udall to use their immunity to leak info is that they would be evicted from the Intelligence Committee as punishment.
