Add a class about doing taxes. Many adults dont even understand taxes.

[thatreminderoflogic]

If you’re an adult and want to learn how to do taxes and the law behind it, volunteer with VITA (volunteer income tax assistance). No joke, literally volunteering will teach you more about our tax system then an entire semester in college will.

[abqryan]

But people shouldn't have to do that volunteering work to get knowledge of something that the vast majority of American citizens deal with at least once a year.

I think a high school class which teaches the economics of a personal household would lead to a huge improvement in the lives of most students. Covering not only taxes but how interest rates and mortgages and credit cards and store accounts and account balancing and all the financial tools and requirements that we all have to take care of but are not currently taught anywhere could make a huge difference.

[thatreminderoflogic]

While I agree it would be helpful to teach how interest rates work to people while they’re still young, I also think that we wouldn’t have to teach the average person about taxes if we just repealed the 16th amendment. Anyways, yes, it would be good to teach the younger generation skills they’ll actually use. I was pointing out VITA in-case any adults stumbled upon this and wanted to add to their skills.

Define "real books"

[sjdsjkdlskdas-deactivated202012]

not fanfiction

OP badly written published novels exist. Harlequin Romance and Mills and Boon aren’t fan fiction by any means.

50shades of grey is technically a real book and no longer fanfiction.. logical conclusion: OP wants people to read 50 shades of grey

Didn’t he physically assault the cops, ignore orders, and is a violent felon accused of third degree sexual assault? By all accounts this is a justified shooting and I have no clue what you want when you ask for “justice”.

[iwilleatyourenglish]

this is Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo. it’s a really weird novel about a man going to get a haircut that’s also a pretty explicit criticism of the 1%.

the main character is a multimillionaire who’s so fixated on money and materialism that he’s basically forgotten how to be a normal human being and connect with people. that conversation above is him talking to his new wife. at one point, he even says something like, “this is good. we are having a conversation. this is what people do.”

Tumblr’s literary analysis skills are best summed up by the fact that “he could feel the glucose entering his cells” was not enough to tip tens of thousands of people off that this was not an interaction meant to be taken at face value.

Demilitarizing literally only means taking the tanks and shit away from them. It's the barest of bare bones reforms.

When we defund or abolish the police, there will be stronger social programs in place to help prevent the crime from happening in the first place.

[theindependentconservative]

....cops have tanks?

[thefriendlyneighborhoodpervert]

Note this says to get them BACK meaning they had some before, which were reasonably taken, and now they're trying to get MORE.

Because nothing says you're good at your job like riding a tank to a bar fight.

[brosefvondudehomie-deactivated2]

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”

That’s pretty cut and fucking dry. They can’t even blame language drift for fucking this up.

[nunyabizni]

I’d be far less annoyed if they’d at least do a cursory finger wag at the protests. I know that baring a Tienanmen Square level suppression they aren’t going to stop them, but it would be nice for them to acknowledge that they’re taking a big risk pf getting sick and increasing the spread of this virus.

[foropinionssake]

Every single person protesting knows the risk. Never denied it. Simply said it was important enough to take said risk. Church is not an essential service. You can watch church at home. You can’t protest police killing people sitting at home.

[prolifeproliberty]

Every single person going to church knows the risk and thinks it’s important enough to take the risk. Let people evaluate their own risk, not just when they’re doing something you approve of.

Many people are watching church/religious services from home, but there are some religious practices that cannot be done remotely.

Churches that believe Communion is an essential part of their faith and that it really is the Body and Blood of Christ and therefore needs to be administered in person by a called and ordained pastor/priest cannot simply “watch church from home.” They are being denied an essential part of their faith by these unjust orders.

Also, regardless of what each church believes about why they need to gather in person, none of that changes their right to free exercise of their religion, as well as their right to assemble and speak freely. No government has the right to shut them down completely, especially not by a governor’s executive order.

[foropinionssake]

Yes because going to church is akin to begging the police to stop killing people. 😒🙄 they can exercise their religion at home. There’s multiple tv stations specifically to do so. They’ve been having online services all over the country. There’s absolutely NO reason to go to church and risk getting people sick.

[abqryan]

If a person honestly believes church attendance is vital to their eternal soul, which is certainly a believable thing for some religions, then they would have reason to absolutely believe that going to church is considerably more valuable than begging police to stop killing people.

Who are you to tell them they are or are not correct?

This is kind of exactly why the First Amendment bans this particular government power.

[foropinionssake]

Bahahaaa I’m sorry but religious people are fricken weak. You can do everything from home without going to a service. I sincerely detest people who need religion. Y’all are fucking stupid

[abqryan]

So you have decided you know better what happens in the world, including after death, than any and all religions in practice. And you believe it is somehow your right to interfere with their beliefs and practices of those beliefs for no apparent reason.

Someone here is awfully fucking stupid but you are clearly mistaken about who it is.

[foropinionssake]

I believe people need some self fucking control and can definitely stay the fuck home instead of attending church during a global pandemic. Oh how stupid of me 😂

[thatreminderoflogic]

You’re right. People should have some self control and stop rioting and protesting after the cops responsible for an event have been arrested. And yet they are not and their protests are considered fine during a “supposed” lockdown.

As a side note this breaks not just the 1st Amendment, but also the concept of Equal Protection under the Law from the 14th Amendment. Since he’s only targeting religious institutions.

[foropinionssake]

The protesters should be fined as well. I already said all this. He’s not removing religion from California. He’s banning mass during the pandemic you dunce

[thatreminderoflogic]

My apologies, because you had not said so previously in this reblog chain I had thought you were okay with the protesting, that is my bad for making assumptions.

I will say, though it weakens my own point, he is not banning mass as mass is something that can be held outdoors if need be. Like most church functions can be held outdoors. This fact, however, does not change that he is breaking the 14th Amendment by targeting religious institutions. If people can go to a store, which in my experience is packed especially during lockdown. Then why should people not be allowed to go to their religious institutions? It doesn’t make much logical sense?

[foropinionssake]

My entire point to this is: protesting police killing people is more important than going to church.

[thatreminderoflogic]

That is a subjective judgement, some people think differently and neither can be proved to be objectively correct or incorrect. So I’m a bit curious as to why this long post looks like it contains several arguments? When we could probably have ended this with: Person 1: “I believe protesting police killing people is more important than going to church.” Person 2: “ I believe going to church is more important than protesting police killing people.” Person 1: “Agree to disagree” Person 2: “agreed” When an argument has no objective point, neither side will come to a conclusion that differs from their original view. So this post being as long as it is seems unnecessary

Once schools reopen, we’re really fucked. America half-assed this, and now we have, I think, nearly a quarter of the worlds dead from the coronavirus.

I’m just glad there are no children in my home

I worry, for my baby brother going into his sophomore year, and my eldest brother, who he lives with, has serious allergies and asthma

But he can’t move back to my mom because grandma lives with her and she is down a lung and has everything cancer

It’s rough

[robthefrench]

I actually kind of disagree about schools opening being a disaster - it seems kids, especially young ones, are relatively protected from a) getting it, b) transmitting it if they do, and c) having severe disease if they get it. And there’s a lot of downsides to keeping kids home; online education seems to be a shitshow so far. High schools might be different, but at least through some elementary school is probably okay/worth it in a cost-benefit analysis. 

[yourladyindank]

Protected from it how? How are they not transmitting it of infected? Is it not being that severe going to justify the dead children and infected families?

[lurkeresq]

I'm not a scientist, but apparently a German study of 2,000 kids found a very low positive-test rate, and Germany has been opening in-person classes since May.

[yourladyindank]

But our testing has shown nearly a third of kids are testing positive in Florida, with a testing pool of about 54,000.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/507442-almost-one-third-of-florida-children-tested-are%3famp

Almost one-third of Florida children tested are positive for the coronavirus

The state’s outbreak continues to surge as new data reveal children may be more impacted than previously thought.

[thatreminderoflogic]

Do we have any studies that are outside of Florida, key? cause Florida has kinda been fudging their coronavirus numbers.. From private testers just not reporting negative results. To conflating having antibodies as having the coronavirus currently.

[jlongbone]

if you wouldn’t let someone rob you and torch your house to satisfy their “righteous” anger at an oppressive system, don’t say you support rioting

[i-fear-texas-deactivated2023010]

You’re right haha nobody’s homes are being looted they’re just fucking burning down.

Where is your proof that police officers instigated the riots? I also find it difficult to believe that all people partaking in the riots are policemen as well, seeing as they’ve physically assaulted and murdered officers.

I don’t give a shit about the three dollars that the Walmart CEO is going to lose in annual revenue. I give a shit about the small businesses ransacked and razed to the ground. I give a shit about the hundreds of employees in every Walmart that have lost their primary source of income during a global pandemic. I give a shit about the people who have lost valuable possessions, who have lost their jobs, who have lost their lives or the lives of those dear to them. Many of those lives are black lives. They fucking matter.

And you’re right. Protestors are not those rioting. Is it impossible to focus on both issues? They are hardly mutually exclusive; one can condemn riots and any form of violent protests and still recognize the need for reform. Oh, and what is it you say about cops? “Silence is complicity.”

Pull your fucking head out of your ass. We’re not racists. We’re not bigots. We’re people who care.

[thatreminderoflogic]

Funniest part of that rant “Just admit you hate black people and go.” Jlongbone is a black person.. do they not knoweth this?

oh and the myth that policemen were causing damage comes from some video footage of policemen doing cleanup work where they remove already broken glass from car windows to eliminate the danger the broken windows cause. This is apparently standard operating procedure for police.
