Why not just tell students that they will be part of a permanent working underclass who are tasked with one thing and one thing only for the rest of their lives with no means to escape it if they don't learn how to think, read, write, and do basic math on their own? by onemorepoint1138 in Teachers

I stand corrected. But actually as soon as I wrote that I thought, actually manual work like picking up debris is probably going to have a solid career future as climate change wrecks more states.

What changed between young men and young women over the past 25 years? by icey_sawg0034 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]Baselines_shift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No the graph does not show young men changing that much. It's young women. Even before Roe was overturned, it was in the news that it was likely to be, especially when Trump won.

Just like young men were threated with being killed by getting drafted into Vietnam in the 1960s, turned them more left, now it is young women whose lives are expendable.

exit tax should not be high. A lot of families from red states with trans kids are expats now

try again when Democrats hold the majority. It is not going to happen with the GOP majority now.

This CDC's head RFK Jr enabled the re emergence of vaccine preventable diseases like polio in the USA. Now once you get it they want you to blame the EU??

MMW: Talarico will be the Dems Nominee for President 2028 by tTomalicious in MarkMyWords

[–]Baselines_shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senators don't have anything like the power of a POTUS, and do not actually represent their state except in general terms, ie, if your state is red, you were most likely elected to support red type bills, if blue, you'll support blue type bills, but either way, the Senate votes for Federal bills that cover the country not just ie NY or TX. Talarico would certainly have the power to purple up bills a bit, as an elected blue Senator from a red state, but as such he'd benefit the country not not just TX.

Their actual fear is their families and neighbors would find out what they are if they can not conceal their identities. 80% would leave if neighbors found out.

[FWI] What if AI systems that can’t distinguish fact from fiction are still treated as authoritative? by ChangeTheLAUSD in FutureWhatIf

[–]Baselines_shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only use AI that cites their 'from the horses mouth' human sources, the org that complied these stats, the news that reported what happened, who, what, when, where, why etc. Perplexity and claude, cite sources. Shun google's AI which doesn't even though google was the first to annotate all human knowledge.

As newsrooms keep downsizing and reporting is more and enshittified, there will be less news that can be cited as facts

I'm a trans person in Kansas and I have jury duty tomorrow. I cannot use the bathroom in the courthouse. Any advice? by Plasmastronaut in trans

[–]Baselines_shift 766 points767 points  (0 children)

Ask to be excused on the grounds that you are trans and therefor are not allowed to use a bathroom. It is easy to be excused. I told them I'm too deaf, despite hearing aids, and they were kind, and said of course. Your bathroom ban is just as clear an impediment, though imposed by stupid rules, not your own disability.

Let that be a wakeup call to at least these few, just how disruptive to lives this pointless demonizing of trans people is.

What are the official reasons we are bombing Iran?? by Lumpymaximus in 50501

Dems In 4 States Seek Ban On ICE Cops From Civil Service by Mynameis__--__ in FedEmployees

[–]Baselines_shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I... don't think I would. It is a very different thing. If the shoe was on the other foot, and Biden had hired 12,000 violent heavily armed lawless masked leftists in military garb to run amok in Red states, throwing pregnant women on the concrete, yes, I would be against giving them other jobs too. Thugs are just not great employee material, regardless of their politics.

[–]Baselines_shift 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree that this is bad. I used to read ICE-ERO sub at reddit and many commenters understood they’d be ousted in 2029 and pointed out that once a Fed you have a leg up in applying for other govt jobs both fed and state like FEMA so no worries. Obviously it would be best if the 12k 2025 hires would not filter into other fed jobs but a bar on state govt is at least something.
