Super shitty, my friend. I'm sorry. I lost my teaching job when I came out too, but I worked for a sort of alternative Christian high school/middle school with like 30 students max so I kinda knew mine was coming.

Once I parsed the whole thing it was, in fact, understandable. But, yeah, a few steps shy of "concise" I think.

Bring a lawsuit, I guess? I worry it could go up to the supreme court to decide if the law banning you from working in a school is constitutional, and I don't trust our current supreme court with that decision

When a politician from the Hard Neoliberal faction within the "Not quite as Rightwing but certainly not Leftwing" Party of the duopoly of power in Britain (which, like the US, also has First Past The Post and associated evils) comes with something like this, especially one who has a history of abusing this kind of accusation in the past to deflect valid criticism of her own words (just like Zionists - who curiously this Party unwaveringly supports - use the accusation of "anti-semitism" to deflect valid criticism), be very very wary of the honesty, goodwill and fairness of this.

What an incredible paragraph sentence.

If I had the money, I'd pay to watch this.

Okay, never mind. THAT'S the most dystopian thing I've read all day.

Bulging greeting

There's a pretty big difference between "I am required to wake you up by the rules of the school (district)" and "I don't want you to sleep because it means I am not being listened to."

A sleepy student isn't learning whether they're awake or not, and if they're that tired they're not paying attention no matter how hard they try. Physiological needs come first. If it's impossible for you to ensure those needs are met for your students, it is impossible to do the job you've been set. This isn't a problem with the students, it's a problem with the job.

Hey I've found this article that has some interesting points. What do you think?

Oh, don't read that. That is all just propaganda, you can't let them get you.

-a literal response I've received, many times.

Trying to ask them real questions, like who "they" actually are that are trying to make your life in particular worse, is about as good as I have managed. But on some of the more egregious points, they always seem to think they have actual good serious sources on how trans people are actually all just predators or something. The more attentive ones may even be so kind as to add a "present company excluded"

The biggest thing (which he even acknowledged) is that there are dimensions which favor electronic voting over physical. It's not as simple as "physical is always better" or "never trust electronic voting" because sometimes making sure it's even possible for everyone to vote is more important than other factors.

Generally, in an election the size of the us presidential election, Tom Scott at least believes paper is heavily favored.

No one in the upper echelons, including those of the Vatican, believes any of that. If they did, they would out and shame pedophiles with extreme prejudice.

I think the counterargument here is that hurting people is bad, even when they've done harm,

but even that falls pretty short, because it's not just that the upper echelons of the Catholic Church aren't "outing and shaming" them, but also that the system is literally protecting them.

Well, this was the state supreme Court, so to do that a federally ruling would have to have pretty broad implications, like "states cannot legally guarantee a right to privacy to their citizens" and would be pretty contentious

A little mini sprog

Yeah, I demand an end to wooden structures!

If nothing else, they should always be mutual. Have Disney take their copyright claims to arbitration rather than using the other legal channels available to them.

That's the best paraphrase of Animal Farm I've heard in a while.

Did you try googling it on ddg?

Aren't they also the ones loading up all of their undesirables onto buses and shipping them off to more lefterly cities?

Those are totally different words with different meanings.

They do for sure. I didn't say POC is shorthand for "people who are discriminated against", just "people who aren't white".

Possibly because "colored" is and has been used as a slur? That was the connection my brain made when I first heard it and put me off, but many POCs use the term POC comfortably, so...?
