until he apologises for perpetuating misinformation about autism & HRT on his science channel, i think it’s about time we just started discussing Hank Green as somebody who hates autistic people and trans women. dude lies about/misrepresents scientific data about disability & transition to liberals for a living. centrist alex jones ass
memes from the microstate in central europe you've never heard of where everything is run by combination land- and war- lords
I mean, I wouldn't call the UK a microstate
What this past year should have taught every "leftist" in the US is that unions in the US primarily serve Imperialism, and most skilled labor in the US will eventually end up serving this goal. They want a bigger cut of the imperial superprofits, not any actual worker's rights. Yes, even wobblies.
This is such a great example because it like, says the quiet part of American jobs being worth Palestinian lives out loud.
If you're anti union, you're not in the left. If you're blaming the Unions for the no strike contracts of the military, that should be illegal, you're missing where the power is.
It's obvious if you look at any history at all, it's clear that imperial core labourism has had absolutely no qualms participating in imperialism if it means imperial core workers gets any share at all. It's a huge limiting factor to the labour movement where solidarity is limited by national borders
“you can’t be too radical because disabled people might get hurt” is like the 5 minute crafts version of activism. not only are disabled people already getting hurt every single day but some of us have even died already.
“disabled people might get hurt if you have too radical of politics” are the 1.2 million Americans that died of covid coming back? do they count or have value? or do they only exist to push you further to the center because you’re a fucking coward and an asshole? just wondering and also lol
I thot the tags were good 👍
It's sad just how much the most common liberal thoughts are centered around their personal political comfort and stories they make up where really bad things happen.
Honestly, my worries are if things crumble will people be able to get their meds? How long would those meds remain available? Would people be able to get food stamps? Would people still be able to go to doctors appointments?
I've worked at a group home where 3 out of 4 of the guys there couldn't even read. All four couldn't cook. The most they could do was make a sandwich or pour their coffee after we brewed it. One would smear his own shit on himself and the walls if you didn't watch him in the bathroom. Their care was mostly covered by tax dollars. Sure there are employees there, but the employees are not being paid well and when the money to feed them isn't coming in and the employees can't be paid how likely is it that their care would continue? Some of them get so many meds. How well do you think they would fare if we didn't have a system in place before moving and changing shit around?
A lot of things are funded by tax dollars. Do we need a lot more funding? Yes. We need to do so much more! But we have to do it in a way that is strategic to create the least amount of damage.
I would LOVE to live in a classless society. I would ideally love to live in a society where there was no money and all resources were distributed by need. I want a society where people can work if they want to or are able to. Where education is valued and you can go to school for as long as you want.
Perhaps there would be a governmental system where each aspect is governed by experts in the field. Where people can present a problem and it will be fixed. I dunno, something better than what we currently have. But we need to ensure that something is in place to ensure that people can get the help they need.
Hell, I currently work at a nonprofit that involves equine-assisted therapy. We can't always guarantee that we will have enough volunteers to help with the daily runnings of the farm. Some of that is related to school and work schedules. But also other factors can get in the way too and consistency is helpful.
I already can't get my meds because the USA decided it needed to be world police on who can get fucking treated for ADHD
Dragons were probably real
they definitely were my great uncle saw them all the time
When my great grandpa's coworker's wife announced that she was pregnant her husband literally turned into a dragon and flew away forever
This happens a lot. They keep flying into power lines and dying.
They are just so stupid.
ny great uncle saw dragons all the time
I grew up next to a dragon farm, they're all over the place in Wales, you even can get dragon sausages.
Is Marxism-Leninism compatible with the idea that animals have a right to life? Not trying to trip you up or anything I promise, I've just been confronted with people ive found it very tough to debate with on the matter.
i don't think that the idea that "animals have a right to life" is coherent enough to debate its compatibility with anything
i don't even think that "animals have a right to life" is compatible with, like, the existence of obligate carnivores
It's not even really compatible with serious veganism.
Idk how u can openly be a commie when the people of Vietnam and Cuba have suffered and continue to suffer under communism. and none of that "wasn't real communism" if it wasn't then wtf was it
i think the people of vietnam mostly suffered from the usa killing over a million of them and poisoning their land and the people of cuba have mostly suffered under the usa trying to starve them into submission for decades. the cuban and vietnamese revolutions were both real and good and led to the emancipation of millions from serfdom and imperialism

Hey! I was having a debate with a friend, do you know what the difference is between praying to a saint and idolatry? Is that your ballpark?
Yeah it's whether you're Catholic or protestant lol. Protestants see praying to the saints as akin to idolatry. That's why you never see statues of Mary in protestant churches.
"We're monotheists, we swear! It's just that our main god is also three guys, and we have this god of eeeeevvvvviiiilllll that we believe is super powerful but also completely helpless, and approximately 9000 lesser deities, each of whom has a specific divine portfolio. This guy? He's the go... I mean SAINT of Socks. But, aside from that, we're monotheists."
It seems weirder to me to pretend so hard that your religion is totally rational and internally consistent.
There's a lot wrong with the catholic church, but protestants love complaining about the redeeming features of Catholicism
God the rogue proposal is going to live in my head rent free for a while. Rogue isn’t a good liar!! He doesn’t lie at all during the episode. Any deception or mystery around him is that he just doesn’t say much, and when he does, he doesn’t give details. That shit was genuine (because everything he does is genuine) and it throws the doctor (guy whose primary hobby is Lying) COMPLETELY off guard I’m going to think about it for a million years
I've seen a lot of theories about Rogue being The Master or Jack or River, but I really want this to be true. I want Rogue to be real.
The Doctor instantly falling for a flirty but super awkward autistic-coded nerd would be excellent.
Yeah, like he's slightly in the mold of Jack but already so much more. I want him to have a spin off of his own.
critical support for comrade slug in his quest to eat every kkkracka in finetime
My bold criticism might anger the hot air balloon people, which would be a real concern if any of them lived along a very narrow line directly upwind of me.
Modes of Transportation [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
@amtrak-official
Cars are way more dangerous than trains, bikes and walking
Fixed it
if you are genuinely worried about undergrad students cheating using chatGPT you have either bought into the marketing hype or you're admitting that the only thing you look for when grading is "basically grammatically correct sentences, some of which are obstensibly about the topic"
sorry i am a college professor and i believe my case might need a special exemption because i teach computer science and there are some problems where it is literally just physically impossible to tell apart a correct answer from a student versus a computer
(not like they always get away with it, to be clear. in fact i would say i catch a strong majority due to the answers still having that AI stink on it and i do grade for elegance of solution and check my assignments for common LLM mistakes. but, there are just a large amount of questions that only have one right answer that the LLM can generate. this is something that affects my field uniquely + strongly and it has been concerning me)
Then you already had a plagerism problem, this isn't new to chatGPT, students where finding the answer online or copying each other before chatGPT.
The fundamental issue is that higher education isn't done for it's own sake, but as a process to get a bit of paper so they can get a chance at a middle class career. It's a barrier only to screen people who grow up too poor or are too disabled from reaching that position.
So that argument earlier has lead me to wonder, do people understand that trains do not cause suburbanisation, trains promote dense Walkable environments around stations so that people are able to walk to the train station. There are railroad suburbs yes, but those tend to be much more walkable than the modern american suburb because railroad suburbs were built as towns that connected to larger cities rather than something that wholly relied on the larger city for all needs like a car based suburb requires
Any form of transport that increases possible commuter distance will create suburbs, but the nature of them depends on the form of transport.
Car suburbs are terrible, train suburbs less so.
The Staten Island Railroad needs to be expanded so that Staten Island can actually be densified to allow for the lowering of NYC rents because there is so much wasted space on that island, like it is just standard American suburbs on there and it could be so much better if we densified it. And density can be most easily allowed for by expanding transit
Imagine being less invasive.
I agree, suburbs are invasive and devour the earth leaving permanent damage. AND the lawns don't even use native grasses so they are incredibly harmful towards the ecosystem. That's why we need to densify Staten island so that the island can be a more sustainable place for people to live and have more space for true nature
Population density & purity go well together?
Huh? What do you mean purity?
True nature is pure nature, a priori.
Motivated by fitness, correctness.
This "a priori" isn't going to fly with me. You need to define these terms, "fitness" and "correctness."
Yes chef. “True nature” as opposed to false nature, a nature that is unfit & incorrect- impure.
Uck.
There's no such thing as pure nature. We are part of the world whether you like it or not.
if we all vote chinese communist party in the elections will that work
On April 30th while reporting on the Students Revolution at Columbia University, CNN anchor Kasie Hunt made reference to Hind Rajab as 'A Woman Who Was Killed in Gaza." Hind Rajab was six years old.
