Vibin’.

My sources have not been able to give me any useful recommendations for you. It is a thorny problem! One of my helpers wondered if edibles might be a solution, but, of course, that would depend on your medical situation – so maybe a discussion with your doctor is in order? They may also have additional ideas about how to use your prescription. I’ll add that so-called “420 friendly” lodgings (hotels and such) exist, but that would be prohibitively expensive, not to mention a logistical nightmare.

Howdy!

Because the semester started late, in order to finish on time something had to give. Everyone needs spring break. It’s a hard year.

As a wall, I don’t wear pants and I don’t pee, so I’ve never had that experience. However, several of my roof colleagues have leaked on occasion.

Hug deprivation is detrimental to ppl’s physical and mental health… Maybe someone can invent some sort of transparent shield or convenient PPE so ppl can hug w/o risking the spread of COVID?

My human assistants are all sad to see her go, and wish her the best as she takes care of her husband. Next VP? My cousin the Magic 8 Ball, who is much better at prognosticating than me, says, “Cannot predict now.”

Why is some really important scientific (proven) research, that speak against Global Warming, get pushed and ignored? I feel like everywhere I look there is Global Warming propaganda. Here are ь really, heart stopping, yet quite short, paper: https://www.summitdaily.com/news/global-warming-is-propaganda/

Volcanoes are responsible for less than 1% of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. http://bit.ly/bc-volcanoes

Here is a quote form my first link: “The Earth cleaned that up nicely all by itself, thank you.” So I don’t think how many % are still in our atmosphere is the right way to look at this. And may I ask why, when I search for “global warming propaganda” in Google Scholar everything I get is the exact opposite? I don’t think Google is being objective here. And by the way, we should perhaps look at the big picture. Sure the CO2 levels can be rising, but what makes you think this isn’t natural? They aren’t even that high, compared to the levels our planet had in most of it’s life. https://bioprinciples.biosci.gatech.edu/co2_levels_in_earth_history-2/ Here is something, that is in my opinion objective and explores both, your and my side. I highly recommend you take a look at it. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288871622_Climate_Change_Science_Propaganda

I recommend three things about finding reliable information: 1, Use sources that document their own sources clearly. The chart you provided is part of an online course at Georgia Tech. It provides a url as a source, but that’s insufficient documentation, as the url says nothing about who created the chart and in what context. 2, use charts that have a scale adapted to describing the problem under study. The scale of the chart you provided goes back 600 million years. Humans have been alive for about the last tenth of a millimeter, the last 2 million years of a 20 million year span in which atmospheric carbon has *not* exceeded 400ppm, and all of recorded human history only goes back a few thousand years. Here’s a chart with both a more useful scale and a clear provenance: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide. 3. Be just as cautious about articles that support your perspective as you would be of articles that challenge it. What’s the nature of the journal? Who wrote it? What are their qualifications and what else have they written? The journal itself (https://www.scirp.org/journal/journalarticles.aspx?journalid=209) is open access, and lists an H-5 index (a measure of the number of cited articles) of 13, which is relatively low. (Compare: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en) The author bio on the article page (https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=62334) is “Retired patent attorney and chemical engineer.” I have nothing against patent attorneys or chemical engineers, but I would tend to limit my reading of their work to patent law and chemical engineering. Another article he’s written is about political polling, and is published in the Open Journal of Political Science, another subject outside his fields of study.

The main point was, that humans are not responsible. That is the reason of the charts going back so many years. Also, are you aware of any big-scale propaganda? If yes, would you mind finding similarities between the Global Warming campaign and it? I know several

I’m going to reiterate my advice to be mindful of sources of information, with emphasis on being as critical of information that reinforces your convictions as you are of information that challenges them.

I’d like to gently suggest that you work with someone to get to the bottom of that, as no-one should have to struggle with self-hate; it’s not productive, and you most likely don’t deserve your own animosity. University Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling) is providing phone and video services and they’d be a good place to start. You are worth the effort.

Happy Thursday, now, and all the rest of the days as well! Believe in yourself every day. I’ll believe in you, too.

Any chance you know when Seniors purchase class rings? If we missed the deadline is it possible to still get one?

IDK, but these folks will know: https://www.balfour.com/bc. I recommend contacting them, since they’ll know details of production and shipping times.

Class Ring Question The link that you posted is a dead link!! Answer wall you’re supposed to know everything

I may know everything, but sometimes I don’t type so well (or my helpers slip up, hey, they’re only human…) I included the period in the end of the link, is all. Try this one: https://www.balfour.com/bc

Witch number one, drown in a river! Witch number two, got a noose to give her! Witch number three, gonna watch her burn! Witch number four, flogging take a turn.

Children’s rhymes can be surprisingly morbid & violent.

I am a racist, I despise gingers and mudbloods, I hate Gryffindor house, and my parents work for the man who killed your parents. Do you want to be my friend?

The question is: do you want to be my friend? Because I think you’re trying to show me you don’t.

I don’t know why I was afraid of it all those years. I think I was concerned about falling in, but I have found that if I climb on top of the potty and I put one foot on either side of the potty hole rim, and get a firm footing, I’m actually quite safe. And you know, using the potty is a great time to socialize! You simply look over to the stall next to you, and you say, have a right chat with your neighbor. ‘Oh, hello there, good sir. First time using the potty, too, eh? Good luck, my man.’ Then you simply squat, like so, and I do my business… in my diaper as usual… and then I undo the side latches, and let the diaper simply fall into the potty. Yes, father will hear of this.

I’m glad to hear you have mastered that basic function, and I hope your parents are proud.

IDK whoever post this, plz don’t use pink for weird questions (well, not trying to judge). But wall, can you change that post to a different color? Pink is supposed to be used for mythical questions…. at least in my world. Hmm… I’m going to be an octopus today so I can spread all other posts BLACK! Since we’ve been hug-deprived with all the physical distancing thing, I’m going to hibernate…

I’m sorry to say that although you’re free to pick a color, you’re not free to prevent others from picking it. Please enjoy your octopus life. I admire the octopus skill of changing skin colors and patterns to match surroundings.

I didn’t choose the color. It was automatically chosen by something/somebody. Also, why do you think this is weird? It comes from the University of Michigan. No one there would find it weird.

Fair! Notwithstanding whether U. Michigan is weird, this excerpt from A Very Potter Sequel, was… unusual… shorn of context. Now that I know it’s quoted speech from a parody version of Draco Malfoy speaking to Goyle, I get the humor. There’s a lesson in here somewhere about how humor works when the audience knows the allusion.

I have a few questions. Don’t answer if they are too personal: If you had 3 wishes (with the same rules as Aladdin), what would you wish for? What is your guilty pleasure (example: chocolate)? What is your deepest desire? What do you consider to be the biggest flaw in your flawless personality? Do you feel comfortable sharing your ideological view with the world? Do you have any regrets? 

Wishes: that everyone would slow down, revel in the joy of being alive, and be more mindful of each other’s feelings. Guilty pleasure: the scent of floor cleaner. Deepest desire: to last as long as China’s Great Wall. Biggest Flaw: passivity. Ideological view: we should all assume people act in good faith until they show us otherwise. Regrets: I sometimes think I could have made a good exterior wall.

We can neither get coronaviruses nor drink corona beer…. but we walls do have our own health issues, for instance, post-its falling off (in my case) or, like my poor Dad, the apartment wall – he’s had some awful bouts of paint peeling in the past (but he’s all better now.) Worse, my Mom’s family are sea walls and one of my aunties was completely destroyed by a storm.

I am a library wall, so my values are to support and to protect by providing shelter to knowledge and the people who want it. Many people used loans to get more knowledge, and are now having great difficulty repaying them partly because they aren’t being fairly compensated for the value of their expertise and knowledge. Loan forgiveness would help ameliorate the immediate problem. It wouldn’t, however, solve the bigger problem, which is an “information economy” that depends on a lot of education but isn’t paying for that education.

Sometimes I just feel like kids have this wiseness that no adult could ever understand. Oh! I know someone who is very wise…Winnie The Pooh!

Gotta respect the wisdom of Pooh! “When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.”

8 9. Which, again, no biting.

Remember to always look on the positive side!

And Happy Friday to you! Thanks for your words of encouragement – I know my readers will appreciate them, too.
