My hatred for Texas extends FAR past politics. I hate the climate, I hate the layout of its cities, I hate the weird state obsessed culture, I hate the all-hat-no-cattle bravado that a good chunk of the population seems to have. I hate the frequent hurricanes. I hate the frequent heat waves. I hate the mosquitos. I hate the ticks. I hate that all the cities are like 3 hours apart.
This is a summary of my entire thought process when a nurse comes out and calls someone else's name. I can't imagine other people are thinking anything different.
"Oh a nurse, is she finally going to call my name? Nope, someone else. They're lucky they don't have to wait anymore. Anyways, back to scrolling on my phone."
My 15 year old dishwasher makes a happy little jingle when it's done to let me know it's finished. Alternatively, I can just look at it the next time I'm in the kitchen and see if it's done. I can't think of any scenario where I am so pressed for time that I must be notified the second my dishwasher is done, but also be far enough away that I don't hear it's pretty loud jingle. All so I can... What? Do another load of dishes? Who would ever need that?
I like giving it impossible tasks, like spell OPERATION with only 4 letters, and arguing with it as it refuses to just admit that I'm wrong and have requested something impossible, or when it tries to cut corners. "No, I don't want an abbreviation, or a word that means the same thing, I want you to spell the full word OPERATION with only 4 letters. Why can't you get this right?"
Yea, I'd agree with 7th and 8th. 13-14 year olds are old enough to be relatively smart and know what things can hurt others, but young enough that most haven't fully developed a sense of empathy. While most kids are relatively good, more than a handful will exhibit literal psychopathic tendencies that would get any adult labeled as highly dangerous or criminally insane. And they locked us all inside with them.
I'm not exaggerating when I say those were the darkest days of my life. High school wasn't much better, but holy shit middle school was definitely responsible for the majority of my childhood trauma at the hands of my peers.
Sure; if you're too simple minded to do anything except follow the animalistic urge to fuck and shit out another unwilling life into this already overpopulated world. Logically, there is no reason to have kids right now. Those who believe it's the only thing that matters in life are basically biological puppets, unable or unwilling to recognize they are being driven by base level instincts and too selfish to care about the consequences. Just one step removed from monkeys fucking in trees and throwing poop at each other.
While I understand the desire for medical confidentiality, I think when it comes to space travel, the public, or at very least the scientific community, deserves to know some details. It's not like we're swimming in data about medical emergencies in zero-G, every little bit is important.
This person is likely not from Greenland. There are only ~40k people in Greenland and only 10-15% of the population have working English, although more can understand it. Thats 6k people that could have crafted that message, and of that we can assume that only a minority would use reddit. That leaves maybe a couple thousand people.
I'm not saying it couldn't be a Greenlander, but the odds are much higher that this is just a random person from Europe, or even an angry American.
So this brings up an interesting question, what qualifies as "tool use"? Google's answer seems vague and too broad. Are hermit crabs tool users? What about those crabs that carry around sea anemones to use as weapons? What about lacewing larva, also known as trash bugs? They carry a lot of debris on their back to use as camouflage.
What about beavers? They build dams. What about birds? Yea, crows and parrots obviously, but almost all birds build nests.
I've job hopped a lot, and literally no company has ever asked for my social media besides indeed, which I keep sterile clean. Actually, they've never even specifically asked for that either, that's just where I've applied through.
A different article I read earlier (sorry, it's too early and I'm too lazy to go looking for it) painted this in a slightly different light btw.
The kid didn't kill his dad because he was mad he got his Switch taken away. He got his Switch taken away, snuck into his parents room to go looking for it, found the gun instead, and started playing with it. Then he accidentally shot his dad with it.
That is a MUCH different story than "psychopathic child murders his father over a video game". But hey, anything to avoid a headline that insinuates guns themselves are the problem.

I. Fucking. Hate. Texas.
