Hello

Really quick question, I don't mean to interrupt your conversation, but does Timcast ever chat in here?

Oh okay cool

I am the editor of my high school newspaper and news website and I really like talking to real world journalists and trying to get tips on how I can write more important stories. That is why I asked. (Didn't want to post in general because it would have interrupted the conversation)

And just talking to them in general about the world and society and all that

But along with the internet comes the mentality that anyone could fit any condition if looked at with the right perspective. I know some of my peers have lied about their household situation for various reasons

well not lied, but convinced themselves it was worse than it was

Specifically in the instance I am referring to, she lied about sexual abuse from her dad and I reported it to the school and then found out it was all not true. But yeah I agree with that, "my parents don

't understand"

In general I asked if Timcast ever talks in the chatrooms

Do you think a lot of people are mistaking entitlement for freedom?

I know girls who simply don't know how to say no, and because of that, they somehow convince themselves it was the guy who put her in the uncomfortable situation

Yeah that is what I presumed coming into the server and seeing a general chat

But thank you for telling me

Politics are entangled with everything now

facebook

Yeah but sadly, the whole federal shutdown thing probably pushed the people sitting on the fence into the anti-trump territory

oh yeah i know. but CNN, NYT, etc won't say it

"donald trump is holding 800,000 people hostage" but it took them just as long to make the deal

oh shit

i grew up on CNN and its sad to see how they have changed

wow

the whole MAGA kids thing

like i don't have any goddamn idea how that even happened

confirmation bias

i was going to apply for the Princeton University summer journalism camp, until I saw the kind of stuff they published in their paper. "Trump, trump, trump, trump" We don't need to be raising the next generation of journalists on that bullshit

@The Server Oven, LUwU2 You probably said it before, but where are you from?

At least it is somewhat intellectually engaging

LMAO

This is going to be a mess

I think the most important news stories as of now are the informative ones. (Excuse the long paragraph) For example someone shot a gun into the air in the student parking lot at my high school a few weeks ago. As soon as the gun was fired people were panicking and the school locked all students outside of rhe building as they went into lockdown. And since this was during dismissal, a lot of students were very afraid. The other student journalists (on Yearbook staff) told me not to run a story even three hours after the event because it would contribute to the "hysteria." But I ran the story anyway because there were students messaging me, posting on Facebook and Instagram, emailing admins, etc about if it was a shooting and if anyone was harmed. I argued over and over again that they need to know that 1. it wasn't a student at my school and 2. no one was shot. That is something they need to know immediately, not three to five hours afterwards, while the school is STILL in lockdown. But that could fit under all three of your criteria if written the right way

But that is just from a community standpoint, and that's the only journalism I know. My newsmagazine has won a first class rating from the national scholastic press association with 3 distinction marks, but people at my school still do not care about journalism. That is why I need help with expanding outside my school with important issues

yea

the best way to cope with the fact that the world is turning to shit is to realize there is no point of living anyway and this is all just a by-product of existing

also that people have always felt this way about governments, its jsut with social media it is easier to see the extremes

😀

that is how you get walked over

yes, but my point is not as aggressive as it sounds. i just didnt know how else to word it shortly

well you got to get some money first

you've*

i want to develop an immortal cell that can easily transferred to humans so i don

t have to deal with dying

so basically the reasons cells start to decay is because they have a gene that gets "Worn out." The gene, which we currently can synthetically make, ensures the cells regenerate at a rate that is beneficial to the body, meaning any damaged cells are replaced properly. Let me see if I can remember the name of the gene

its here in my textbook somewhere

AAV-IGF-I

AAV is the virus they use to get the gene into the nucleus, and IGF-I is the actual thing

no

i want to be a biomedical engineer

with a double major in journalism

research/ innovation careers have a lot of potential for journalism coverage

rip

basically the reasoning for my double major choice is that i have literally nothing else to do with my time and i cant exactly live two lives at the same time

what do you want to specialize in?

honestly yea

i have no experience with mechanical engineering or any of that, so i am just going into cell growth, development and specialization

my high school is paying for me to go to college next year to get some general education credits out of the way

17

they have extensive engineering classes at my high school, i just took the biomedical ones, not mechanical

its so sad because i just want to grow up and move out and all that, but every older person tells me they wish they could go back

well they are mostly teachers telling me that, so i can see why

how?

one time someone gave me a 75 mg dose of an edible and told me that was the normal dosage

They had a world hajib day at my school and every kind of student had hijabs on. But this same group that held the event hates it when any student who is not african-american wears dreadlocks
