That seems short sighted. I now see this particular paper as being more interested in being salacious than informative and will not likely give it the time of day in the future.

It’s not a very good attempt. Like I said, what the BC nurse did was wrong, but she was not sleeping with a minor patient…

What she did was wrong, but I’m wondering why they included the story about the second American nurse?

In March, a Las Cruces, New Mexico woman who worked as a nurse at Mesilla Valley Behavioural Hospital was charged with three counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor, one count of criminal sexual contact of a minor in a position of authority and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to a criminal complaint filed in Doña Ana County Magistrate Court.

Nurse Kayla Salcido, 26, was arrested after cops were tipped off that a nurse sexually assaulted a teen patient. The alleged victim went finked out Salcido to hospital administrators.

Showed alleged victim her nude snapshots The kinky caregiver allegedly showed the boy nude photos of herself. And while still in hospital, the nurse entered his room and the two passionately kissed.

After he was discharged from the hospital he allegedly contacted the fun-loving nurse. She picked the boy up near the hospital and she drove them to her apartment.

At her house, the pair knocked back booze and engaged in sex acts. Salcido allegedly gave the lad oral sex before the pair engaged in sexual intercourse. The sex continued through the night.

Like, this is a different nurse in a different country committing a different, significantly worse crime…Why include this?

Oh, after this guy stuck his fingers in Alberta separatism, I’m loving the idea of him living in fear. May he live the rest of his (very few if Iran has its way) days that way.

*recommending places to drive to.

we’re not in a left/right struggle as much as we’re in a class struggle against the billionaires.

This is just a reframing of the left/right struggle, though. The right has always been about maintaining the privileges of the ruling class since the terms were set when the Monarchists sat on the right side of the National Assembly.

A liar? In this administration??

Yeah it’s a cult.

I didn’t suggest it was unique to humans.

Wow, that was a really fascinating article. I suppose this will also factor in to understanding the differing ability for higher thought between us and other animals.

That exam includes a 3-mile run, push-ups or pull-ups, and an abdominal plank.

I mean, that’s not much of a physical exam. Pretty much any person who isn’t physically limited in some way could achieve this level of fitness in a short time. I knew these fascists didn’t think much of women but I didn’t realize they thought they were totally physically incompetent. You really thought that women couldn’t jog for three miles? Or do a plank? haha

And then failing to realize that purpose.

Sure. I guess this falls under ‘natural experiments’ which is what David Card got his nobel for, figuring out how to test hypotheses some of the time. Now try and do peer review on that result.

The global financial crisis was a huge surprise to most economists and is basically the #1 example of the field not having any predictive power, something you generally want from a hard science.

CNN is a media company that has a lot to gain if it can get its audience to accept AI “personalities”.

Give me examples of economists coming up with hypotheses and then building experiments to test them.

What they said is actually totally reasonable. People (particularly economists) treat economics as though it’s a hard science akin to physics or chemistry, but it’s a soft science. They gave David Card a nobel in economics for figuring out a way to actually test hypotheses some of the time. In 2021.

Currently 8 but I will be shifting to 1 in an hour or two.

Well considering that their federal government is currently being ran by an inveterate liar and his personality cult, that seems reasonable.

That’s not the point they were making. They weren’t suggesting that they personally were looking forward to becoming a party apparatchik. What they are saying is that the structure of these parties incentivizes both the party to empower loyal but unqualified people, and for unqualified people to seek upwards mobility through the party. Then, as the party grows and more of those types of people are put in positions of authority, eventually the whole thing collapses from incompetence.
