imagine moving over a thousand miles to make your kids worse.

The dyslexic kid is so hosed, just imagine the worldview that dad is espousing.

"We moved 1000+ miles, in a pandemic, just for you! And look, you're unexpectedly gifted! The institution we paid thousands of dollars said so, thus it is an absolute truth! You will be great....my son, you WILL be great."

Question for all of you 3-shotters-

Did you mix-n-match for the booster or stick with the same vax as your first two?

My first 2 were Pfizer, but iirc Moderna has shown better results. The only reaction I had was a sore arm for a couple of hours so I'm inclined to get Pfizer again but I do want Max Titers.

Anyone have those titer charts handy that show efficacy over time and all that jazz?

I wonder if he curses the Schools. So furious is he, that he must spend time with his loingremlins like a common house wench. Children are tools to perpetuate your memory, not people with their own desires. To spend time with these filthy splooge sculptures is a nightmare onto itself!

Or at least I imagine rich people hate their kids.

I did Moderna for 3rd shot after doing Pfizer.

I would say I worse side effects from Moderna and it worked much faster (barf in the evening after getting shot in morning)

Jun 2001 – Present

I founded and lead Dynamic Computing, the Pacific Northwest's leading small to mid-sized business focused managed IT services provider. We provide managed IT services, IT transformations, and IT consulting for top-performing companies and organizations with just a few to a few hundred employees.

A Brief History

Dynamic Computing was founded in the year 2000 at the height of the .com boom. As a fourth generation small business owner and entrepreneur, our founder, Kevin Gemeroy was strongly encouraged by his family to build something of his own from scratch.

Growing up in his dad’s paint stores, Kevin knew technology was something that many small companies struggled with. Fortunately, he understood IT well – he paid his way through college by working as a freelance computer technician. Dynamic Computing was born between classes while Kevin finished business school at the University of Washington.

Over the next decade, the company grew slowly but surely, expanding our client base and improving our offerings. Over the past few years, we’ve taken the company to the next level and built something that truly has a life of its own. The challenge has been not to lose sight of what made us great. We’ve always started by learning about the client and understanding their business on a deeper level, and followed through by providing the highest level of service and an using an approach that’s uniquely tailored to each client’s needs.

Over the past few years, we’ve focused our energy on growth, change, and improvement, scaling our operations and improving our processes with every step. Most importantly, we’ve embraced the use of technology and automation in everything we do, eliminating redundancies and manual routines. We’ve managed to triple the size of our team and revenues while consistently ranking among the best in class for industry performance.

So what’s next? We’re building the premier managed IT services company in the Pacific Northwest, and we won’t stop until we get there. We hope you’ll join us on our journey.

Hostile school board meetings have members calling it quits

In Vail, Arizona, speakers at a recent meeting took turns blasting school board members over masks, vaccines and discussions of race in schools — even though the board had no plans to act on, or even discuss, any of those topics. “It’s my constitutional right to be as mean as I want to you guys,” one woman said.

thankfully I don't think we're doing orientations this year (or maybe they're tba, who knows) but at least masks are mandatory. I fully expect for poo poo to hit the fan pretty quickly and for remote learning to be part or full time and honestly hope it comes to that.

my spouse gets pretty upset at her parents for about a day when they suggest poo poo that doesn’t loving apply to parents now, like caring for kids 40years ago is easy mode compared to now. I mean yeah it’s a lot safer now due to myriad reasons;but the single issue of child care loving sucks now unless you never move and you have like 3 generations of family members sitting around to help . both parents have to work.


they don’t understand that there is no community and we’re atomized. hell, all the kids in my neighborhood go to different schools because of “school choice”

ok i apologize in advance if i'm just ignorant but is "gifted" like a euphemism for something like autism or is the kid just literally dyslexic and if they hadn't upped and moved to some $100k/yr private school his kid would've remained without "treatment" and "support" and traumatized?

don't get me wrong, I'm not saying dyslexia isn't bad or anything, I am sure many kids suffered from people not taking it seriously enough and giving extra test time or whatever but I just feel like there are way "worse" things his kid could have turned out to be??
