It’s part of a shifting norm and shifting norms are always controversial. Especially norms that involve opening up bodily autonomy, dignity, or respect to previously excluded groups.

Yeah and also your comment might be illegal in the US soon

This is not a right wing resource, but if you’re interested in learning about the arguments and historical evolution of ideas that underpin economic liberalism/neoliberalism, I highly recommend Geoff Mann’s Disassembly required : a field guide to actually existing capitalism. It’s concise, relatively short, and treats the ‘other’ side like rational actors (which is important for understanding, I think).

Ofc this would only help understand people who are quite well informed.

the crochet(?) veggies are adorable

At my first full time job my supervisor specified that I could hang up on anyone who brought up their lawyer, used abusive language, or brought up the BBB.

IMO a relatively big college, especially a public college, makes even isolated towns feel kind of urban which could be what you’re picking up on. This is as opposed to a suburb or a rural town where you’re expected to look and act roughly the same as everyone else. Having a large transitional population (of young people) changes their speed.

There were some in New York (Housing Cooperatives) that were built slightly before the great depression so went under pretty quick. They also involved owning your unit after a certain number of years. Wish they’d have had a fighting chance, I truly think people need community to live well and condensing work like childcare, food prep, and laundry (tasks that scale really easily*) make life easier for everyone.

okay, this is really cool. Love when people make interactive stuff like this to help us grasp concepts

Some of the more metro ones often have tool libraries, art you can rent, and other neat misc resources too.

Edit: also free trips to local museums or zoos/aquariums

The only part I feel confident with right now is safely obtaining the media. I’m fine with that step being manual.

facebook is a US company and has a high incentive to reasonably adhere to US regulations and consumer protection laws, especially when it comes to US citizens. Tik-Tok is not a US company and is not incentivized to reasonably adhere to US regulations and consumer protection laws.

Both companies might share your information, but if you live in the US you would have SOME legal standing if a US company did something out of line with your data. If Tik-Tok decided to publicize all your messages I don’t imagine there is much you could do. If facebook did you could probably get a reasonable lawsuit going.

It’s quite rational for you to feel angry towards people who seemingly went out of their way to wrong you. One thing that helps me is contemplating the inner existence of that type of person. It must be awful to walk around without a teaspoon of empathy. To walk around disconnected from basic humanity. To find pleasure in hurting others. What a cold existence.

Avatar and Medieval Dynasty (on xbox)! Medieval dynasty is an interesting mix between a first person rpg and an rts.

I doubt it. Probably has to do with incomplete/bad education. I imagine we would average similarly badly when asked about other WWII era trivia.

Here’s an article on Holocaust knowledge across the US from 2020: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2020/01/22/what-americans-know-about-the-holocaust/

I was educated in the US public school system in the mid 2010s and I felt like history class was 1/4 American slavery, 1/4 trail of tears, 1/4 revolutionary war, and 1/4 holocaust across middle and high school. Apparently that’s not normal, or the other kids weren’t absorbing anything.

Wish they linked to the poll they mention—can’t seem to find it on yougov.

Yeah and they’re constantly adding phenomenal user requested features in their updates (even for the original kickstarter device that I have). A libgen app would be convenient!

The remarkable is so dreamy

You might try speaking with a medical professional for help with your kid in specific?

It seems like there would be some parent groups earmarked for this purpose too. A cursory google game up with a forum called Trans Families, for example.
