When I went to school we started the year already behind schedule in math, and science. Maybe we could be spending our childrens time a little more wisely.

Scholarly articles have 'impact' measurements. ie. The impact they have on that field. My understanding is that it's a combination of # of times it's been cited, # of times its been downloaded/read with a heavier weighting towards citation. You can filter articles by 'impact' in many library databases.
A theory that is not well accepted will be cited less, even if it's being cited to be debunked the citations still count as impact, however an article with a greater impact will be cited significantly more which suggests the theory is more compelling.

As far as my understanding goes.

Hobos are still people.
They have their own agency.
They can make their own choices.
We can't just assume they're all hopelessly addicted to crack.
We can't assume we know why their homeless.
We can't assume that we know how they will choose to spend their money.
When you give someone money it becomes their money and how they choose to spend it is their choice. Freedom.

That said, you're better off donating to the foodbank. They get deals on food and make a dollar go a lot further and you can get a receipt and claim it as a tax deduction. It's the economical choice.

Oatmeal. Not exactly date night, but it's hot and healthy.
Get large flake oats, not the instant stuff.
Boil 1 cup of water in a small pot.
Decrease heat to mid-low.
Add 1/2 cup oats. Stir only once.
Cook for 10 minutes,
let cool for 10 minutes,
eat for 10 minutes.

You'll want to watch it closely for a minute or two after you add the oats to make sure it doesn't boil over. If it looks like its going to boil over just remove the pot from the heat till it calms down, and decrease the heat a little maybe, every oven is diff. It still needs to simmer though.

You can season it with whatever you want after cooking it: maple syrup, milk, oat milk, brown sugar, chocolate chips, raisins or other dried fruits (if you do raisins add them to the water before the oatmeal), cinammon, apples... etc.
Maybe a small pinch of salt.

Vegetable sushi, no soy sauce though its made with garlic
Cut cucumber in long quarters
Make 2 cups dry rice
Mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar +1 tsp salt
Add the mixture to the rice after it finishes cooking and while it's still hot
Mix it in until it starts to get sticky
Get a small cup of room temp water
Take seaweed sheets and spread the rice thinly across it, leave ~2 cm at the end unriced (for sealing)
Lay the cucumber across the rice and roll it up, doing the uncovered end last. Use the water to moisten the 2cm stretch so that it sticks to the roll and seals it closed.
Cover and refrigerate them until they cool, cut and eat

You can top with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor.
Candied ginger is also nice.
Matchsticked carrots marinated in sugar and vinegar too.
You can get creative with the vegetable.
I like my wasabi in soy sauce so I won't suggest it.

Edit:
I should also mention that different rice will have different results. Cal-rose rice works well. Basmati rice not well.
Edit 2:
Jfc i forgot salt of course. It gets mixed in with the vinegar and sugar.

So uhh, step one: get cholera (it lives on shellfish, and plankton do with this what you will, lick some shells or something)
Step two: ingest cholera
Step three: try not to die

Me too, I tried to make a lemmy account and it wouldn't work at first, and then when it did work it wouldn't let me log in. I can't imagine how much more of a pain in the ass it would be if it was one of the instances that required an essay to apply for membership.

I tried kbin and it worked first try, no problems at all. I figured I would run into the same problem I had trying to join lemmy but didn't have a problem at all.

I can't imagine how many more people would be signing up to the federation if it just worked first try.

I guess it's kind of like the saying bad ice effects both teams. Both reddit and the federation are going to have bots. Competitors aren't differentiating bot accounts vs user accounts, so why should the federation?

How many people browsed reddit without an account, but made one for lemmy to show support?
At least one.

I think this is a case of people doing both at the same time.

You see things like this a lot, on the internet and in politics, the framing of a situation as a binary choice, the idea that we only have the option to do one thing or the other. It's bullshit. We can do as many things as we're damn well capable of doing. Sometimes even at the same goddamm time.

I have no doubt that there are reddit mods currently migrating to whatever alternative they're going with while also simultaneously trolling the shit out of reddit on their way out.

Good for them, the more attention they raise, the more fun people have, the more it'll be noticed when they get the boot.

That's not going to stop me, I can't read.
