‘California Academy of Sciences’ sounds like a professional organization, but it’s actually a museum open to the public. I went over a decade ago but it’s one of the coolest museums I’ve ever been to. They have an indoor, 4 story rainforest greenhouse dome thing filled with plants, free flying birds, and a bunch of other animals. They’ve also got a nice planetarium and natural history exhibits. Their green roof was great when we saw it, it’s just my ideal fantasy solar punk building.

TL;DR: Lots of pics here. Go to the California Academy of Sciences if you’re ever in San Francisco, because it’s at the Golden Gate Park and you’re probably going to want to go there anyway.

These two things definitely seem equivalent 👍

OpenStax has free, college level books available online, without registration (although if you register it will save sections you highlight for later review). In their business section, one called Principles of Finance seems to match what you’re wanting to learn. It’s structured more around learning business related finances than personal ones, but the underlying principles are much the same for both.

Reader Rabbit was something I enjoyed around that age. Zoombinis was fun too!

If you have an easier time focusing on spoken word, audiobooks might be worth checking out. It’s been shown that both reading and audiobooks activate the same areas in the brain, so you’re still engaging your mind like you are with reading. I prefer audiobooks because they allow me to do something visual/tactile that doesn’t engage the language part of my brain at all, like a card game or sewing, so I leave that part of my brain free to focus on the audiobook.

Gotta go for something like MikeRowsoft

The concerns: the peanuts

Congratulations, next year it becomes self aware!

Plastics made from petroleum aren’t the same thing as heated up vegetable oil.

I guess you should have put in more work in the PA primary, then.

Oh my god, a red apple?? This is terrifying! I’ve never even imagined such a horrific freak of nature! Everyone panic!

Bird autist reporting in to make sure the green space is made up of local plants that can shelter migrating birds, and all those shiny windows have UV reflection to prevent impacts.

Would you enjoy Dr Oz more?

Please do not undercut me in front of the child. I am thirty or forty years old, and I do not need this.

Hope it does wonders for his circulatory system.

Horror has always been a genre ripe for pushing social boundaries, and there’s been a lot of critical analysis about Night of the Living Dead as a critique on the Cold War and racism. So you’re not picking up on nothing, that was a purposeful casting and writing decision.

Antinatalist maybe? The monster didn’t ask to be born into a world that hates him because they find him ugly, his creator denies him what he views as his only chance at happiness by refusing to make a wife for him, he ultimately kills a bunch of people and then himself because he’s angry at humanity… oh god, is the monster the original incel???

Sounds like a problem that’s going to be after next quarter!

The purpose of punctuation is to make communication clearer. But over-adherence to prescriptivism inhibits communication. IDIC includes people who don’t punctuate worth a damn 🖖
