  • Correct. Also getting to 6th grade is generally defined as the the language skills needed to read/write news, most novels, contracts, information pamphlets, etc. The use of specialized language, such as technical lexicons, is where you get into higher grade levels of reading. There isn’t any universal standard as to what determines this, exactly. Many tests also work on being able to make sense of sentences that gradually become more, and more, obtuse. Their length, use of punctuation, tenses, and other technicalities, are increased until the person can no longer explain the sentence correctly. The problem with this is that it may be technically correct, but it is bad writing. If someone where to ace a test on some of this overly complex sentence structure, they would actually do worse for submitting it to a test of the skills on writing a sentence explaining something. So a lot of this lexical grading of reading level is nebulous, and results will vary from each person reviewing them, and exactly how they are performed.








  • The trend seems to be that being a bigot on stage, while saying you can’t say these things, while saying them, is a way to get mega popular and loads of money.

    Now criticizing israel’s genocide, or saying the palestinians deserve to live, are the way to get the government, and organized minions, to destroy your life.





  • Same argument could be made for sweeping/vacuuming the floor or combing your hair. It will just get messy again.

    This is not true, all of those things have drawbacks that not making the bed do not. Maybe never washing your bed clothes, sure, but just not making it is not the same as never cleaning your floors, or grooming your hair/body. If you don’t clean the floors, they get sticky, attract pests, build up bacteria, etc. If you don’t comb your hair it will begin to knot up, and cause scalp problems, if you don’t do the dishes they will get covered in bacteria, and mold, and attract pests. Not making your bed doesn’t have these types of consequences.


  • This is straight up not true in many places. Where I live they have a long list of things you can’t have in your yard, or in your yard for extended periods of time. They have a list of rules for the flora, maintenance, etc.

    The only time your assumption is true is the inside of the house. They can’t do much there until it is a fire hazard, bio hazard, etc. , but that level of hoarding stuff is not common, and even then, there are limits to it before the city intervenes
