I was in the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program in California. All I noticed was being pulled out of class for IQ tests. There were no IEPs, no extra homework, no special classes, nothing. The only thing I noticed was the music department of an elementary school tried to get me to play piano like some trained monkey but that didn’t work out very well. Also, being bused around 3 hrs (!) a day to a poor magnet school with gangs whom inherently hate smart white kids when there’s an elementary school a block from your house because of race quotas makes anyone resent affirmative action.
I went to a private school for K-3 so was way ahead of public school by at least 2 grades, and was bored 4-7. Oh and then my parents wouldn’t allow me to participate in grade skips or an internship at IBM Research Bernal Road. fml. I had the same cookie-cutter education as everyone else.
My grandmother was olive-skinned French but still considered white. My dad was semi-olive skinned. I’m completely pale af French-Irish with a tiny bit of West African and Asian.
PS: I guess I should monetize my genes: 6’5, gifted, blond to brown w age, blue to hazel. Fuck, I should just visit Brazil and bang some rich ladies trying for preggers. lmao.
Brazilian women tend to more attractive than the world average but “can’t” find an actual man? WTF is wrong with the world? Seems like laziness to me. Also, I’m pro LGBT parents but raising a child without a father-figure role-model is inherently risky, often leading to “daddy issues” of daughter promiscuity or son criminality. It just boggles my mind how people think a single mom or lesbian situation without at least one male and one female role-model around, at least as an “uncle”/“aunt” or family friend mentor, is a good idea.
ProTip: if an American man in Silicon Valley wants a wife, he should look to places like Czech Republic, Ukraine, Brazil, Colombia and Panama are worth exploring. They will typically find people whom are more agreeable, gracious, attractive, genuine, confident, feminine and educated in the world around them than the majority of petty, immature, bitter, insecure, uncurious spoiled brats in the US. Most S and C American people (and visitors) need to be screened for Zika btw, which can really put a damper on reproduction.
Server-side??? Apple requires apps use the Apple WebKit framework only for web content, which runs only on the client-side. The point of Puffin is to run Flash and other desktop crapware websites that don’t work on Mobile Safari (Apple WebKit) properly.
Puffin isn’t a native or local web browser; it’s an optimized, virtual, remote browser viewer. If they sell it as a “Citrix for the web,” they might have a shot.
The US tried alcohol Prohibition, which also failed. The War on Drugs is simply a perpetual extension of the Southern Strategy to lock up millions of minorities and poor people seen as the bases’ “enemies.”
Exercise, sleep, socializing, sex, reducing stress and a carefully constructed diet clearly messes with the rate of aging. How would those be doomed? Also, perhaps the target and antitarget pathways of each could be isolated and modulated for maximum benefit?
