well maybe I should not have had child, but I love my child and would never say that; that would make me a wicked witch .

oh there will always be running water in the Pacific NW because it rains there all the time, right? Uh... it rains all at once and melts the snowpack which in the past supplied the water to the cities and farms in the summer. As for glacier, sorry, gone.

okay okay I'll send them to trade school, plumbers will never laid off by AI right? And they make 100,000 a year so the student loan can get paid off, right. Fine if the kid doesn't mind wading in doo=doo. Why don't they try it first before investing. Or maybe there'll be no plumbing/running water.

well what about nursing degrees, won't that be a failsafe use of the money? uh... YOU try nursing and see how it goes.

oh you think well what if it is a degree in STEM or better yet AI engineering. Nope by the time they are sophomores AI engineers itself (it-"self"); indeed AI engineers currently being laid off by Amazon.

oh also, maybe if the teen goes to college they won't get drafted to die in an endless war, you think, but no that did not protect people in the Vietnam police action, in the end. They will gleefully send elitist college brats to die but not theirs. Catastrophizing? nope, I got a PhD in history.

oh, I forgot to write, and who will be UNEMPLOYED with a useless masters degree or PhD and if they ever get a job their social security will be docked by the feds to lay the student debt IF there is social security which there will not be. Cynical? Nope. Truth of America today. Eyes wide open crow.

‘I’m so screwed’: How can I afford to care for a mom with dementia and send my teen to college? You don’t have to lose everything — not your savings or your wits — when you become a caregiver.

Don't send the teen to college, who will just end up 100,000 in student debt (for life) and will also be caring for you when you YOU get dementia

If you see me, leave me alone - I just have to learn to take flight (my caretakers are nearby watching and they will never forget you)

The sea has risen higher than scientists thought, and millions more are at risk Climate change’s rising seas may threaten tens of millions more people than scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high coastal waters already are, a new study said. Researchers studied hundreds of scientific studies and hazard assessments, calculating that about 90% of them underestimated baseline coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot (30 centimeters), according to Wednesday’s study in the journal Nature. It’s a far more frequent problem in the Global South, the Pacific and Southeast Asia, and less so in Europe and along Atlantic coasts. The cause is a mismatch between the way sea and land altitudes are measured, said study co-author Philip Minderhoud, a hydrogeology professor at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. And he attributed that to a “methodological blind spot” between the different ways those two things are measured. Each way measures their own areas properly, he said. But where sea meets land, there’s a lot of factors that often don’t get accounted for when satellites and land-based models are used. Studies that calculate sea level rise impact usually “do not look at the actual measured sea level so they used this zero-meter” figure as a starting...

This is the spectacular natural phenomenon known as the Qiantang River tidal bore in China, known as the "Silver Dragon." It's the world's largest tidal wave, formed by the incoming tide in the funnel-shaped bay, creating a massive, surging wall of water up to 30 feet high.

Cromwell and his men committed genocide - let us call it what is is

Ray Church was founded in the 6th Century a little way from Falcarragh in County Donegal....and just a little more than 1000 years later the congregation were massacred by the troops of Oliver Cromwell.

The folk were buried in a mass grave known as Lag na gCnámh' or 'Resting Place of the Bones'
