The potus has the power to remove regulation across the board but very little to actually enforce them. If new rules mean 1 in 4 chicken nuggets has salmonella, that’s on Trump. But if Republican states want to stonewall & ignore food safety inspections, that’s not on Biden.
Chuck Schumer has got his most serious pen out for this one! You know, the one with the skulls on it he got from Myrtle Beach
Desu there are a few fediverse “trueisms” that disagree with but like most forums, it’s kind of a public bathroom wall. I don’t really take it personally when someone(s) disagree with me, it could be a literal child for all I know.
I think that the idea of this place (Lemmy) being some meet-up for the insurgent left is a pipe dream anyway, when a forum =/= social media; we have bluesky for that. I just like the fact that I can post most anything and be confident that there isnt going to be a hardcore American Christian Conservative in the comments shitting things up, but I’ll take whatever gradient of leftist comes along.
Anyway, I’m ranting a bit too. I think that Lemmy has an engaging community that’s like 80% cool and 100% more intelligent than what you’ll find Reddit. I never mind to throw out a comment here because I know at least a few people will see it and maybe engage, rather than the crapshot into the 1,000+ comment chain void anywhere else. I do wish that less communities had me banned lol. I mostly just lurk aside from the occasional shitpost
I deadass got called ableist on here once for saying theres no excuse to not be using an ad blocker because of someone’s “executive dysfunction”
Lmao okay smooth brain. I tested in the 99th percentile on my last test. I wasnt even at my peak cognitive powers and I wasnt mentally challenged at all.
Its whatever I say it is to get rid of people who annoy me
Low IQ people shouldn’t breed and I believe this 100% at this point
E: this is literally the argument of Idiocracy btw
To this end, Beyond Point and Shoot by Darrel Young is a really good book for beginners looking for technical advice and understanding the jargon. I don’t know OPs current skill level ofc, but it helped me a lot
Just be excellent to one another. No matter whether or not Marcus Aurelius actually said this, this quote helped me a lot when I was younger, emphasis on the first two lines:
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
If you highlight every other word it loses it’s significance
Useful idiots; short-term good, long-term remains unclear.
This is most of the reason why I keep my opinion to myself every time I see his name crop up every day but I think that he is specifically a horrible person to represent the movement and a good example of just how impossible it is to maintain quality the larger your target audience is.
Most people have awful taste. I can remember being a gooberish little Berniebro about 10 years ago when nepo hire Piker was just starting to produce for TYT. He was consistently the worst commentator on the network. He went on to become an Amazon-affiliated Twitch streamer and AFAICT makes a pretty good grift job taking money from 19 year olds who wish they had the attention span to read Nabokov
Unfortunate case of the only person incidentally saying the right things just so happens to be the most unlikeable, wannabe intelligentsia podcastbro out there. I hate the fact that that specifically was the person we decided to be the far left’s Rogan
Blame Trump.
hurr durr muh drag queen story time!!
None of this was happening when Biden left. The rest of the world is doing fine but Americans are importing mystery meat, rationing medicine, and trying to scrap together nuts and bolts like the apocalypse has already happened.
Surely another front to this global trade war will solve things, right?
Lol. I cannot actually believe I’ve spent so much of my evening talking about a fart “Gas Chamber” but here it goes:
I want to reiterate my basic stance that I might have phrased a bit emotionally before.
I do not think this idea is coming from a good place / a good perspective on the respect given to kids and the dignity owed to them as people.
Talking axiomatically here: all people, from the age/development that they’re able to do so, are owed an inalienable privacy in the bathroom, available to their privilege whenever they want it. I believe this entirely.“Bathroom breaks” and permissions are reprehensible in this respect. I want to clarify now that I don’t think that this privacy doesn’t also include farting. This itself is pretty tautological to me. It gets filed under the same folder. My specific argument here is that people have a right to fart wherever they want (in private) and that the structure of this “Gas Station” takes that away at the convenience of the teacher.
I don’t think you took away the point I was trying to make about your office so I’ll skip over it.
From the article:
The spot features air freshener sprays and a yellow sign warning visitors that they are entering a “gusty winds area.”
There’s a sort of gross infantilization here that’s hard to articulate but that I hope you can infer some of what I’m talking about. This is not how bathrooms are designed. However well-intentioned the teacher might have been, she has massively overestimated her ability for objectiveness. There’s a condescension here that does not show respect for a person’s right to handle natural bodily functions in a neutral, nonjudgmental environment, which I believe is effected entirely by her position as loco parentis to the kids. Her objectiveness is compromised and her special relationship with the subject of her design (the “Fart Box”) has been detrimental to it’s end result / intentioned-use.
I dont see any functional difference tbh. Is this something you would want your office to implement? It’s really not more complicated than that for me
This is literally exactly what I’m arguing for. Having a stickered “Gas Station” with complimentary bottles of Febreze (already inappropriate for a classroom where other kids might have sensitivities to those things) is grossly infantilizing.
The idea that a “Gas Station” in the corner “teach[es] students personal maturity” assumes that kids don’t even yet have maturity to go to the bathroom on their own, that that is something the instructor needs to teach.
FFS privacy in the bathroom is a human right
Instead of sending students out into the hallway, the setup allows children to handle their needs without asking for permission or disrupting the lesson.
> “If they have to relieve themselves, they will just simply get up off of the rug, and they will walk back to that corner right there where you see that little yellow sign. And of course, we have everything they need over here,” Sydney-Browning said in her video while pointing to the sprays.
> The goal of the station is to prevent lost learning time and teach students personal maturity.
This is the mentality of someone who doesn’t see children as people
I would’ve volunteered this information for free. No grant money wasted
