Says the guys who complained they couldn't breath because of a mask. That it impeded the amount of oxygen they were getting and opted to not wear them. That it was the government trying to "force" people to comply. That it didn't work, so why should you wear them. You know...the guys that ignored years of medical science because feelings. Feeling that you might be emasculated by a thin piece of paper.
Insulting a Dem because they took they're mask off really isn't the "own" you think it is. It just brings a spotlight on where you stood during that time...fearful of a mask. Lol. So brave of you not to wear one. Such a patriot.
Mate, metaphors like this help understand the gravity of the situation to help us see WHY certain actions are bad. From an uneducated standpoint, DOGE might not seem so bad unless you understand that Hitler rose to power on such things:
The dismantling of bureaucratic checks
The centralization of power
The targeting of political opposition
The use of propaganda to justify reforms
These metaphors aren't bullshit....they are just getting more accurate.
Yeah mate! That one! The one that says "he's just joking! No body is allowed to make jokes these days." Unless he was actually serious, in which case, "it's a masterclass strategy by our genius leader."
Will it suck? Absolutely, but me and my wife make great money and just consolidated a bunch of our stuff to buy our forever home. We're liquid probably $100k, and that's not even touching retirement finances or other investments. I 100% want to help where I can with protesting and organizing stuff, but I won't be in a state where I'm willing to be Luigi 2.0 anytime soon. Like. Even if we were to both lose our jobs, we're comfortable for at least 2-3 years before we have to start worrying.
The people in power that are supposed to stop this aren't. AOC is trying to rally people, but not sure how effective it's going to be yet.
Anything you do as an individual is likely to fail and only make things way, way worse. So you tell me man....what should I do that I'm not already doing?
I dunno man....are you? I can't afford to go to prison. I have three kids that rely on me for sustenance and a house. Nothing that Trump administration does is going to make life more difficult for me currently. I'm emailing politicians, trying to make good points online, and protest. I think that's all I can do right now. Now, if my family is threatened, or I can no longer provide for my family, then we'll talk again.
this has nothing to do with any maga anti-vaccine laws. Although this outbreak is in Kansas, the TB vaccine is not used in the US, not even in blue states, except in rare special cases.
Mate. It literally explains in the article that:
Tuberculosis vaccine is not mandatory and hasn't been required for almost 20 years.
That the controversy around COVID vaccination and the laws they pushed validating those imaginary fears made people fearful of vaccines, and by proxy, basic preventative healthcare.
The whole point of the article was to point out that the unintended consequences of pushing laws and regulations built on fear have harmful repercussions - i.e. you now have a population that thinks COVID isn't that bad, that won't wear masks, isolate, or go to the doctors.....in the middle of an outbreak that is extremely similar to COVID.
It's roughly 10% of our US steel supply (or around 40% of all of our steel imports)....meaning prices are going to start going up. This is going to hurt....
Ha 😂. Sorry. Yeah, typing on a phone is difficult at times. It's just a hypothetical. A thought experiment. It's also 4am, cut me just a little slack. Have a good night/morning!
I mean, if your reading at an 11th grade level while in 5th grade, why should you be forced to stay in a 5th grade level class? It becomes boring and students stop applying themselves. I was reading things in 5th grade that most of my peers would have never read. I would destroy an 600+ page book in a week. I understand that there are foundations that need to be built, but having a one size fits all method of education I worry does more harm than good. I honestly feel that a school of this style would have allowed me to truly excel, instead....I never even got to really apply myself. I got through school fine, but it just felt like a waste of time. I almost didn't even go to college - felt like it was going to be a waste of time. It wasn't until I actually got into college that I realized education gives you back what you put into it....It was the first time I was ever truly challenged, and good lord that woke me up.
The goal of this approach isn’t to create a cutthroat environment, but rather to allow students to progress at a pace that best matches their learning abilities, rewarding their effort and growth rather than enforcing rigid timelines (i.e. your stuck in this class for the rest of the year).
For students who need additional support or who may lack external resources like tutoring, this hypothetical school would prioritize offering some sort of internal support system. For example, a dedicated study period could be set aside for tutoring, where teachers or advanced students volunteer their time to help others catch up or solidify their understanding of challenging material. This ‘office hours’ approach would ensure that all students, regardless of background, have access to the tools they need to succeed.
The goal is to meet students where they are and to help them build confidence in their abilities. By developing a more dynamic system, we can nurture each student’s strengths and provide tailored assistance where it’s most needed. If you have any suggestions on how to address disparities in motivation or resources, I’m game to talk about them.
It's just a fun thought experiment. Purely hypothetical, but I love conversations like these.
This just means I get to start my The Satanic Academy for Witchcraft. Our homeroom has us learn the Tenets from the Satanic Temple. The classes are dynamic, so if you excel in mathematics, your assigned to an advancement class that eventually moves you up to the next level. You don't automatically make it to the next class either, it's dependent on a grades, efficiency, and quality of your work - this drives students to apply themselves rather than just ride it out. The more advanced classes have more dynamic projects that are practical and useful. There is no "busy work", and classes tend to apply an open learning / study portion to the class as well. If your not applying yourself, you'll be downgraded or removed from your classes to make room for others.
It's competitive, but practical, affordable, and efficient.
The school has a heavy focus on critical reasoning (ethics and philosophy), mathematics, science, and history.
They are worming their way through the various departments looking for something....dirt on their opponents?
