Because the UK and US have completely different forms of government?

An in fact, that itself is a meme. Memes aren’t just pictures on the internet.

The term itself comes from the 70s.

Ehhhhhhhh.

We have two Kias. An EV6 and a Telluride, so their EV and gas lines.

They’re nice looking cars, but the “Kia quality” definitely creeps in. If we didn’t get them on dirt cheap leases I would probably be pissed lol.

No we don’t, because it wasn’t approved in the US until the late 90s and only for treating VERY specific cancers.

It was pushed out in West Germany in the 50s specifically as a morning sickness med while pregnant, which is why these warnings are on there.

Yeah they are limited on their screen time. They have to do an hour of reading before they can do any fun screen time, then they can do whatever until bed as long as homework is done.

At bedtime they have to be in bed, but can use their kindles to read until 10 when they automatically lock on them.

I mean believe it or don’t. I don’t give a shit lol. It’s true. I was the same way as a kid, far ahead of all of my peers with a high school reading level in first grade, twice in school scored the highest in the state for standardized testing for my grade. I even got two little trophies from the state for it.

Their mom is an insane reader as well, and clocks 100+ books a year.

They got a great head start with genetics, but we’ve also put a ton of effort into fostering that.

So you literally show where it skipped a generation, because you completely left out the Silent Generation between the Greatest Generation and the Boomers.

Greatest Gen are generally the parents of Boomers. Silent Generation are the parents of GenX. Boomers are the parents of Millennials. Gen X are the parents of Gen Z. Millennials are the parents of Gen Alpha.

Blame the parents that have abdicated their responsibility to raise their children and outsource that to screens.

My kids have grown up with screens since birth, but our going-into-fourth-grader has a 12th grade reading level and our going-into-second-grader has an 11th grade reading level because we make teaching them at home a priority.

They both score way above grade level in math and science as well. Their teachers constantly say they can tell which parents actually make their kids education a priority and which parents don’t give a shit and expect the teachers to do it all.

He was absolutely confirmed to be in Afghanistan until the battle of Tora Bora, when he fled to Pakistan.

He didn’t buy the towers. He leased them. Port Authority of NY and NJ owned the entire complex.

And he ended up getting $4.55 Billion from insurance, while the rebuild of the complex cost much more than that.

One WTC cost $3.9B alone. 7 WTC was another $700M. Total complex rebuild was $26B.

He ended up personally losing over a billion dollars on the complex after the attacks and rebuild.

Not sure what rando YouTube source you have that gets extremely basic facts wrong.

The common one is that he took out the insurance policy just a month before the attacks.

But that conveniently leaves out that he had only leased the WTC complex at the same time, and part of the contract on the lease was getting insurance on the buildings.

Well, Osama bin Laden publicly taking credit for the attack was a big part.

He was known to be in Afghanistan, known to be part of al-Qaeda, and the Taliban was known to be sheltering and supporting Al-Qaeda.

The Taliban was the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan, which isn’t they were never declared a terrorist organization. When they outright said they would not extradite bin Laden to the US and openly refused to shut down terrorist bases or extradite other terrorists, the US invaded.

Don’t let the clusterfuck of the politics around Iraq cloud the invasion of Afghanistan. That one was extremely straightforward. The government of Afghanistan harbored and sheltered bin Laden, who very publicly claimed credit for 9/11, and then refused to do anything about it afterward.

The first plane hit at 8:46 AM.

Yeah no shit he missed work. If he was at a dermatology appointment first thing in the morning he wouldn’t have been there for breakfast when the planes hit. And once the second plane hit at 9:03, nobody but firemen were going back into the towers.

Not as written. But uranyl peroxide is a thing.

There’s UO₄·4(H₂O) studtite and UO₄·2(H₂O) metastudtite

A trade embargo is not the same as a blockade.

Cuba maintains trade relations with 160 different countries. The US doesn’t prevent them from trading with other countries and doesn’t block ships to and from Cuba. They just block US companies from trading with Cuban businesses.
