My point is mostly this: are we here to discuss and provide information or throw paper at each other. The comment you responded to wasn’t one I agreed with either ,but it was based on their opinion and (imo) not worth arguing because opinions are subjective. It is worth considering becasue they are telling you about their personal, if ancesdotal, experience.

So when people completely miss the opportunity for conversation about something that appears controversial, and rather pile on because they are daring to have an opinion… well ya , I say something.

I’ve been around long enough to see institutional thinking crush community and conversation and I don’t like it. So there is my subjective opinion and feedback.

At some point we have to fight back on all the lies, why not here I guess.

One of my mothers boomer quotes , “I’m going to spend my kids inheritance”. She did too. She is now 84 and needs to sell and borrow. Good thing I believed her when she started saying this in 1988.

Knowing that something failed you and stating it does not call for being preached to by someone who the system obviously worked for. This is just the flip side of the “I know better than you” coin.

This type of educated bullying is also not the answer, or response that gains results.

People have opinions and experiences with out having to back them up with studies and papers . Your response is maddening in the way that it only serves a cooling effect on actual sharing of experience and input… which cools all that lovely diverse , straggler input.

You sound like you’re hiding feelings behind papers and studies.

What is so hard about using what you learned without quoting all you know?

I feel this, but more along the line of chosen ignorance rather than actual stupidity. Either a new topic us overwhelming or they worry\fear they’ll get it “wrong”. Also, being from the south, where so much has been politicized, they fear the tribal back lash of thinking for themselves. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I was never the type to “go with it”.

This was what they found in other schools too. One specific location ( I can’t remember where) the dads formed a group to a) keep kids peaceful and b) because they were being sent to jail for schoolyard bs. It was a largely black school. If you want to look it up with the sad details my brain is providing. Sry

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don’t get ear covering sound without a jack.

I was shocked when he got a gov’t contract after he admitted to all that fuckery in Ukraine. Wtf is happening in gov’t???

This is what I came here for

Joel Bervell on insta has been doing a great job of explaining the differences and how to address them. I see him on insta but I’m sure he is on all the platforms. I live in the US south and this is a serious issue. It is insult to injury.

Organic ,non bot, actual real conversation, is not going to skyrocket. It’s going to grow like a real world thing. This is good imo

Thank you for putting this here. I learned this the hard way after buying a poorly designed (for battery life) Nissan leaf. Also want to add that new battery tech is not too far in the future that is going to make the current batteries look pitiful. I’m not wildly savvy on that topic and even I know this. So any current models may lose support

This pissed me off too. They kept the violence but lost sex. What a winning strategy.

I need this so I downloaded if that’s OK thankyou

I wasn’t serious when I said I’d fall in line behind you. Emojis on are a world wide phenomenon. If it doesn’t appeal to you then move on. Are you this controlling and intolerant irl? Or are you just petty online? Since you seem to lack social nuance, I’ll be clear, I don’t really care by asking these questions. I am asking you to ask yourself. Pettiness and coercion are also a social cancer

Excuse me, I said hey rude ass, I’ve never used Tumblr. So, why don’t you tell me what this is then, tell me so I can fall in line with your expectations.

Tri👏bal👏is👏m

Same here , the other day I thought to myself “how the fuck did I get poor again??!!” Two years ago I was feeling pretty proud! I’m deep in the letter writing currently, one I’ll give to my employer.

This is so extreme! Have they lost their minds? I’ll be looking up "how we got here Greece " now. Wtf?

Aye, Thank you! I’m not that sophisticated with this stuff but I’ll snag that link!
