Read Baudrillards "Simulacra and Simulation."  There's no difference.

If there were no difference there wouldn't be two schizo's in my family tbh and I probably wouldn't have a huge paranoia of triggering it myself since it seems to be hereditary in our family.

Edit: I mean really, it's like I DON'T KNOW IF I'M INSANE, "Did I just see something? No? What what that? Did anyone else hear that? I'm alone. Did something just blink? Why would it blink outside my window at third floor." Rince and repeat, every ten minute, day. Last I saw a person was Monday, My contacts person here to check I'm "okay". I see no one. Can't remember when I was last on the phone and with who, why? When did I last see my mother, I'm out of food feel scared and stressed that I have to go shop.

Eh, that's the status quo here.
Not being able to differ between reality and fantasy is the status quo here?
By "here" I meant my head.

Sophmore crap are just alternate names nobody uses so I don't get why people are tripped up about it.
Actually, I have never heard another student use the number name of a grade, instead always using Freshmen (9), Sophomores (10), Juniors (11), and Seniors (12) as the primary classification. Maybe it's just a western-USA-rural-town thing.

Americans schools are further complicated by the fact that there's no national system of standardization in curriculum.
Within 2 years, every high school in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska will comply with the same standards, I know that. Other states are in there too. Most of them, in fact. We're actually working really hard to catch our high schools up with the rest of the world.
It's better than changing the curriculum, grading and exam system every two years like they do here.
This is how we're doing it. When I was a freshman, I took Integrated I. That's roughly equal to Algebra I, and it was mainly about algebra with a little bit of geometry thrown in for good measure. Starting next year, the freshmen at my high school will be required to know most of what I was taught last year in Geometry, Integrated III, and Pre-Calculus. I'm a Junior this year and taking Calculus, which is something that kind of scared the administration. However, myself and the junior-who-is-my-best-friend (the one with the cluster headaches) are proving to the (incredibly doubtful) administration that it's possible for high school students to learn that much math. The curriculum for math, at least, is shifting upwards about three and a half years, and the transition is only supposed to take four. There will be changes.

Go to Pandora.com
Type an artist name into the box.
That's not going to help much. The only artist names I know are people whom are in the bands who I've already heard.
That's the entire idea. Pandora will take the artist or group you enter and make a playlist of all groups tagged with similar music qualities.

I didn't say that society said there was no difference.  Society believes in objective reality, and will happily tell you "what is real" and "what is not real," or "what is true" and "what is not true."  It says that because the experience of the individual does not match that of the people in power, that experience must not have existed...

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.  Worrying is probably making things worse, as is crash-dieting.  I'm speaking from experience, man, so take care of yourself.

If you read about the most successful military units, they have all been not necessarily well trained, but had a good team spirit and motivated people. This has been understood in most the worlds Navies as well: usually at seas, you only salute a higher ranked person once a day, and you dont need to call anyone a "sir".
[Insert obligatory navy team spirit and intimacy joke here]

Really, there were too many. I couldn't possibly choose one!
Like the Sacred Band you mean?

Major internal audit afoot. It's not exactly classified material at this point, since it's been on a few dozen news outlets.

Basically, a segment within ATF decided it would be a good idea to allow illegal weapons sales to Mexican cartels to go unprevented, so that they could trace the guns and hopefully map out the distribution channels within Mexico. Not, on the face of it, a terrible idea -- it's like slipping tagged money into a money laundering operation so you can figure out where it's going. Or, to use a medical analogy, putting a radioactive tracer dye in your bloodstream so they can map out what's going on internally.

Problem is, a couple of those weapons wound up being used to kill a Border Patrol agent. Now you have Congress (and the Republicans have NEVER liked the ATF, since it regulates guns and the GOP can't fellate the NRA fast enough) asking why the hell the agency that is supposed to stop illegal arms trades allowed them, and wound up contributing to the death of a US agent?

Glugh. Congress is pissed, the Mexican government is pissed, the AG and President (who weren't in the loop) are pissed...

That is the single worst plan I have ever heard. The ATF should have intercepted and sabatoaged the illegal arms in question, causing internal strife with the cartels.
