Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

[drarry]

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones

Chronically online atheists will claim they are more moral and intelligent than religious people while using ableist and racist-coded language like “schizophrenic” and “primitive” to describe religious people. While they ignore the fact that science has also been used to harm marginalized people. Lack of religion doesn’t make you inherently more tolerant or ethical. It just means you can be an asshole for different reasons.

mormonism is so crazy capitalist coded

[xenasaur]

their philosophy on the afterlife is literally that men are all temporarily embarrassed billionaires gods and if they just keep their heads down and don't ask questions and grind away their whole lives in service to their current boss god earning him money glory they will eventually be rewarded with their very own company planet and passive income glory and employees a family they can abuse forever and ever amen

[xenasaur]

I think I'm gonna start calling it "CBRN ordnance" instead of tear gas, pepper rounds, et al. Just to hammer home the point, y'know. "The cops used teargas against the protestors" You mean the regime deployed proscribed CBRN ordnance in order to pacify the dissident citizens

[catgirlwarrior]

i think it's important that this stays with the post

[biteybeast]

i do think its really convenient how they name this shit so nonthreateningly. "tear gas" awwww it makes you cry a little haha. wrong. you can go blind.

I do really think that the use of ChatGPT and genAI by students highlights the fundamental flaw of our education system focusing almost entirely on grades and test scores rather than generating curiosity and inquiry, which produces individuals who fundamentally do not understand that the purpose of an assignment is meant to be to learn *how* to do something, not simply to produce a product you can turn in to get an A+

that post with the yam experiments

At the very start of the AI panic, one thing my Black History teacher said that really stuck with me was that AI being a problem in a classroom reflected on the teacher and the curriculum, not the students. If the most important thing for a student to do is bubble in correct answers, submit assignments at certain word counts before deadlines, etc., then AI certainly poses a threat to that teacher. If the class features the teacher genuinely interfacing with students in a way that lets them gauge their understanding of the course material, then they shouldn't need to worry about AI.

[anarchistmemedistro]

that is true and a good point. i would just add the caveat that many schools in many countries micromanage teachers to the extent that they have no control over the curriculum, the assessments, or the grading. ai poses a challenge to that system, and to teachers that have bought into the system that challenge will feel personal.

Everyone should read Deschooling Society by Ivan Illich. and then some modern rebuttals to it bc it's from the seventies so it needs the update, but the core of it is still good.

Schooling as an institution has had this exact problem for a long time. it's just coming to a critical head right now.

[isuggestrevolution]

i have a suggestion

[anarchistmemedistro]

Deschooling Society

Ivan Illich Deschooling Society 1970 “Illich, Ivan — Deschooling Society (Marion Boyars, 1970)” was added by El Vagabundo Argelino.

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
