A number of times, I've helped her break through her shyness/fear and make a friend and she's extremely happy. She's very social with neighbor kids and in school. It just is a struggle to get her to a point where she feels safe enough to open up. Once she does, she very clearly wants more of that experience. She'll constantly look outside for the neighbors and tells me she wants to play with them
What are your referring to? It is pretty accessible from what I can see. It's illegal to build things that aren't accessible. Americans with Disabilities Act had pretty good specs
I'm American in Europe. I don't share the below opinions of Europe, just informing what I've seen
A lot of the American exceptionism is because we are only taught WW1/2 and Soviet occupation after. We are taught that Americans basically won WW2, which I've heard is inaccurate, but haven't cared to research. We are taught that the founding fathers wanted isolation from European wars. We are effectively taught that Europe is/has been endlessly in war and conflict.
Americans think Europeans are effectively Soviet occupied or extremely corrupt on the east. Western Europe is viewed as a vacation spot, and nothing more. If you put yourself in this mindset, you can see why Americans (on both sides) view NATO as a financial drain.
The reality is that most Americans (both sides) really just don't think or care about Europe at all, except for holiday. Europe is basically nice food and an archeology site to most Americans
If so, that would effect the statistics and shift the effect higher. For my understanding, could you estimate the effect of the grants and the extent of the drain?
Advanced Grants — for established principal investigators — saw the greatest leap in US applications, with the number nearly quintupling from 23 to 114.
So 114 applications for one? It would be important to see the raw numbers because even 10x of 114 is miniscule.
840k full-time professors at US universities. And Europe would probably get the lower tiers because why would a tenured US professor give up their tenure to move to Europe.
So article cites 114 for one grant. Let's assume 100x that, so 11,400 professors coming over. That's a little over 1% of professors
Yeah, that's why I suggested it. The guy I housed softened, left the military and now just works in a hospital. Had we not befriended him, he'd probably be ICE now.
Also I wouldn't call it humoring. Just actually being his friend. He's human too and it's not his fault he was raised in a shitty environment. He was never show any alternative way to live
This is generally why I don't like this social isolation of conservatives. It leads then to extremes. You don't need to date them, but you can be friends with them.
A lot of them were raised in cults (I was). After I got out, I housed this guy who was hard right, but talked with him, cleaned his guns with him and now he's doing better. He was just traumatized from a hard childhood.
And honestly, shooting guns, riding 4 wheelers and other conservative things are fun.

Could be true, but this suggests weak evidence.
