As a woman I should have a choice if I want to live my life in traditional female roles.

And if that makes you unhappy or makes you feel I’m a traitor to my sex then please move on.

[rosie-the-lancs-witch]

Absolutely.

Choice should work all ways.

It’s absolutely right that we’ve moved on from saying that ‘traditional roles’ are all you should want’.

Because many people don’t want them. And they should be free to go their own ways.

Femininity and being a house wife and mother are not the only ways to be a woman. Not by a long way.

And it’s a joy to see women expressing themselves in so many different ways.

But for some people Traditional Roles are absolutely the right thing.

Some women are deeply feminine and to be a house wife and mother is what fulfills them in life.

No one has to agree with that choice. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a valid one.

[rosiewitchescottage]

Amen to that last tag.

Another fun thing I do with customers - specifically parents of very small children who don’t know they’re alive yet - is directly imply I think the coffee is for the baby, not the parent. and lemme tell you, like 70% of parents eat that shit up. They immediately go along with the bit and start discussing it with their newborn child, while the baby just stares at us like 😮

This also applies to the course by which attraction, including sexual attraction as a significant component, guides young men and women to seek out each other for marriage.

You people cannot get any more embarrassing.

That’s not even how the water test worked for witches. It was “If you sink, you’re innocent. If you float, you’re a witch”

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Is the cartoonist implying people haven’t lost theit careers and good name over the accusations? Are they implying only men doubt such accusations?

Also, you know who the accusers were in American witch trials? Frequently other women. The woman in the second pic is overall closer to the accusers than the victim.

Five bucks says the cartoonist wants their own witch hunts against men accused of rape by women. And thinks Mattress Girl is a hero.

[alaija]

I think this is about as close as we are to getting a feminist to admit that the current hysteria amounts to a witch hunt.

[albirich]

Wait wait wait. Are they literally using a witch hunt to promote just taking someone’s word that a crime was commited?

[siryouarebeingmocked]

By reversing the accuser and accused, no less. Also, equating lynching to simply not being believed.

[mightyoctopus]

This comic is actually doing a pretty good job of showing that blind believe (left) and complete disbelieve (right) are both wrong, and that people should take a path in between. Like rights for the accused, evidence collection, etc.

Not sure if that is the intention, though…

“why are you, as someone in their 30s, still on tumblr” oh so you think you’re gonna be normal when you’re my age? you think you’re gonna be CURED?? you think the witches’ curse will have been lifted by then?? cmon now

[emmaubler]

No wonder young people are terrified of getting "old". If you think you have to give up hobbies you like or sites you enjoy because you hit 30, the prospect would be fairly terrifying. Of course, the other option is the youth are just trying to bully people they don't agree with off the hellsite by calling them elderly, in which case I think most of them would say, "Damn kids, get off my lawn."

I like to imagine a scenario where humanity just never developed energy guns and has stuck to kinetic weaponry forever and at some point some alien species thinks about messing with the wrong apex predator species.

Alien 1: "Captain, I assure you, our ships can't be breached by anything weaker than a concentrated proton beam. They barely have lasers. We'll be fine."

Alien 2: "Sub relativistic projectile incom-" gets hit by a railgun shell at mach fuck

Drawing intense scrutiny for what opponents have characterized as misuse of agency resources, FBI director Kash Patel came under fire Tuesday for using an FBI jet to blow-dry his hair. “On numerous occasions, Kash Patel has inappropriately utilized a government-funded Gulfstream jet to add shine and smoothness to his hair after a shower,” said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, adding that Patel’s hair care habits had already cost American taxpayers $250,000 in jet fuel alone.

So can we be so fucking serious about the literacy crisis yet or are y’all still pretending that it’s just exaggeration that there’s a massive systemic issue where parents and educators have catastrophically failed a generation by passing them through school when they literally can’t do basic reading and math.

[nonenosome2]

The thing for me is, how does a parent allow that to happen?

I understand the teacher's couldn't care less, they get paid either way, but the parents allowing it to happen? Not even teaching them at home?

[tlaquetzqui]

The teachers don’t get paid either way, the parents get them fired for attempting to really teach reading, or anything else, in such a way that the parents’ precious little darlings might be told they’re wrong.

Parents have exactly the education system they deserve.

[ausefulblogforputtingthingsin]

Most teachers care very much. Its the only reason we stay in the low-paying, soul-sucking, burnout inducing profession for so long. The education system is built on emotionally manipulating teachers into doing unpaid labor, without which it would cease to function.

Teachers beg parents to read to their kids. Parents don't. We try to get kids to work through frustration, but parents have given them screens to microdose them with dopamine all day long, so they're incapable of focusing or sitting with discomfort. We're not allowed to tell kids they're wrong, and not allowed to hold kids back even if there's no way they could succeed in the next grade, since they can't read. When we do get to hold a kid back? Parents can appeal it and the school board will automatically pass the kid to the next grade in most districts.

Teachers care more than anyone gives us credit for, but it's much easier to ignore what we say while blaming us for not fixing a system we have zero control over. Teachers have been sounding the alarm about the literacy crisis since WAY before covid, and no one wanted to hear it. Teachers can't be the only ones working with kids and expect them to succeed. And I don't just mean working on reading. I'm talking about teaching kids how to handle emotions, how to not hit people, how to take no for an answer, and how to recover when they're disregulated. Teachers are increasingly expected to handle aaaaalllll that (and worse) times 30 (or more) before we can even begin to teach what the kids are actually supposed to be learning. And we get told if we just create relationships it will all be fixed. Oh and also make our lessons more engaging (when our competition for their attention is tiktok). Oh and document every behavior and every intervention (which means every single thing WE did to bend over backwards and try to get kids to participate in any way in their own learning, and also all the things WE did to fix their behavior problems before we get any support from admin) because "if you didn't document it it didn't happen. That documentation, btw, is pretty much always done for free outside of contract hours because there's not time in the day for it. And we don't get paid overtime. So tell me again how "teachers couldn't care less".

[tlaquetzqui]

Parents. Have. Exactly. The. Education. System. They. Deserve.

very insightful things from ausefulblogforputtingthingsin

I just have some problems with it.

Look. I do agree, trying to paint everyone with "teachers couldn't care less" brush is bad but having saw how other teachers acted when my mom WAS teaching, especially in special ed, has left me with the idea that yes, there are teachers that care. There are teachers that try. There are teachers that go outside of their expected duties and means to try and get something going for these kids. My mom was one of these And by the sound of it, Auseful if they teach also is one.

And then you have the teachers that just fucking don't care. At all.

The ones that don't document stuff not because it takes time away from them, but because they just don't like paper work. Or dumping the expected paper work onto someone else. Or, after my mom switched from teacher role to an administration position, walk into the class room, the kids are being kids and not doing work just kinda acting up and the teacher is on fucking instangram. Hell a handful of these would try to get a kid tested not out of the kindness of their hearts to put them into a more suitable teaching environment but because FUCK I don't wanna deal with this brat, get him away from me!

These teachers stay because well there's not enough teachers, they don't rock the boat enough to get canned, and they still do the job which is 'just pass the kid'. And it's not about teaching the kid to think or learn but just how to not annoy the teacher for most the year and how to pass the few tests that actually matter.

Admins aren't much fucking better, as Aseful said, "We want documentation" for like EVERYTHING among other issues(my god the fucking petty arguments my mom overheard, like some of these higher admins were arguing about fucking FIEFDOMS not schools). Oh and that donation you raised for library books? Just gone. Fuck you dunno where it went. Don't look at the new car the Principal bought or the new bus for the football team.

So you have a good storm of number of parents don't care because their child is perfect(of course they are, THEY THEMSELVES are prefect, what do you mean my child is on the spectrum, are you saying I'M RETARDED TOO YOU LITTLE BI-), a number of teachers that don't care(treating the entire thing on the level of fucking DMV operations), and a number of Admin that also do not fucking care(save for not wanting to look bad and keeping the funding coming).

With everyone else that does care either too overworked, to ill informed, or too shut out to actually try to do anything.

[cookingwithroxy]

There is, of course, also the contributing factor of 'I am teaching to the lesson plan!'

In literally the sense of 'when Phonics became the new standard, people still pushed back to this change and forced us back to Whole Language/Balanced Literacy' and 'No Child Left Behind policies changed how willing teachers were to fail students'.

If one cannot derivate from the standard and the standard ITSELF is what's failing the students? It doesn't matter how much you care about your students, because the failure is baked in at a systemic level.

Why is a tax on unrealized gains so bad? if anything it seems more efficient since it doesn't punish people for transacting. Is the fear that the underlying asset is illiquid so people couldn't afford to hold it even if it was profitable? Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

It destroys people. It leverages a tax on people, sometimes a higher amount than they've ever owned in their life, on the theory that maybe they will make that money in the future.

[brazenautomaton]

the advocates of it would say that it doesn't hurt normal people only the obscenely wealthy who they hate and want to kill

they don't notice or remember that if you're afraid someone will hurt you, and that person says you aren't worth bothering with, they are coming for you first.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

>Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

You need to add a whole lot more infrastructure to determine what the "worth" of those unrealized gains are. Making a government program bigger rarely results in more efficiency.

Also, this gives the government a strong incentive to over-estimate the unrealized gains for more tax revenue.

Also, who says they won't continue to tax transactions?

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

That's the stupid part too of course they would continue to make taxes on transactions necessary and relevant. The government can't help themselves but consistently overspend on literally everything. And that's the reason that they constantly want to raise taxes in the United States. And every other country for that matter.

Because they think money should be in their hand rather than the hands of the people who hold those things.

Sadly however, what most people don't realize is the fact that when you text unrealized games not only does the government get to overestimate what's something is worth to charge you the most they possibly can. They will also continue to find ways to charge you on it because if you think that they're going to stop at a tax like this you're out of your mind. And the one fun part about stocks or other on realized gains, like solid assets like houses and cars etc, because those are, in fact, on realized games because they are worth money in estimate. Is the fact that eventually those people are going to have to start selling things off to pay for these games that they have not received which means they are paying taxes on money that doesn't technically exist.

The dumbest part about that is that it liquidates everyone's assets all at one time. Worse than that it will actually do massive damage to most of the stock market. Which does affect the entire market.

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

Not to mention, most retirement plans are unrealized gains. This would wipe out 401ks overnight. It would destroy pensions.

[the-davest-of-uncles]

The people pushing for this are okay with a collapse.
