I started at a new employer, and my colleague’s swearing could put my teeth on end.
We were 8 people in an open office. Cursing would just get in my head whenever their cursing syncopated with my new-guy-at-new-job stressing. My System 2 brain knew they were not cursing at me, but my System 1 brain would flinch at each curse. I asked them to please reduce the cursing.
Later I knew I had come out of the funk when I let fly a few choice words of my own, and that colleague would rib me for it.
My free range childhood friends and I would have been all _get bent_ to that lady—even at 6 yro. I can tell you this because I was also getting a whooping at home from da for saying the same to my ma. I was a dreadful child.

I thought Sal's revolution was the idea of flipping the script on primary school learning: in-class homework & at-home video lessons.
I'm not surprised. Students are not rewarded when they ask _curious_ questions--rather, they're admonished for not paying sufficient attention.
Personally, my first use of ChatGPT was to ask tangential questions on JavaScript while taking a LinkedIn learning course on VueJS. I found ChatAI an excellent substitute for Reddit and StackOverflow, which is how I would have followed these inquiries before. Of course, I'm not a primary-school-age learner. I had to learn _How To Learn_ from experience.
ChatGPT just introduced me to bookmarklettes for scraping web pages with JavaScript. It’s one in that group of skills that ChatGPT does very well—the prompt is just a few sentences and the results just work.
The NYS DMV website shows a birth certificate is required (or passport) for a RealID as proof of birth date.
Is it not valid for proof of citizenship because the dmv doesn’t look at the birth certificate expressly for citizenship? A missing checkbox, then?
