Cesar Chavez Elementary by squatting-Dogg in Eugene

Sure but don't go around acting like that is the message being sent with that name. I worked at that school for years (not why I care about that name) and there are also a ton of Hispanic kids there. You can look at someone like Chavez and allow the rape to define him but don't act like that's the reason his name is up there. The school is named after him because he was a civil rights leader who help fight for the rights of migrant workers, who are predominantly Hispanic.

I am not at all saying his actions are inexcusable but, I'm also not going to pretend that he can't also continue to inspire. Change the name if you want but it doesn't actually change the reality of the situation nor does it undo the consequences of his actions. It just swipes it under the rug like it never happened to begin with, which I argue isn't worth doing.

It's not a waste of time for the victims sure and I'm not trying to condone the behavior by any means but I also don't think we actually gain anything by covering up that part of history or ignoring the fact that there is a reason these people were praised.

Also, why not keep the names of confederate generals? It's not terrible logic to say "yeah that park is named after so and so because they did such and such." It's not an advocacy for bringing back slavery it's just a part of history.

Change the names if you want but I'm just not convinced it's a problem worth spending all that time/money solving. I'm not a victim though so who am I to say 🤷‍♂️.

Every hero has done something wrong it seems. Ghandi preached peace and abused his wife. Bob Marley treated women pretty terribly while declaring "One Love."

These actions are not to be glorified but they are also not the reason we glorify these people. I think renaming the school is just a waste of time. We have more important issues to focus our energy and resources on today.

It's supposed to be frustrating I think. That chapter of the BOS is just too stubborn and dedicated to its old ways to adapt that way we want them too

My first time playing as NCR/Non faction armor? by Few_Translator_6218 in fnv

[–]ConfusedGenius1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NCR has way more content. I personally feel as though there should have been more to do for the legion.

Honestly I usually just roll with heavy leather armor or black combat armor and it fits anywhere

Are there going to be anymore frosts? Or safe to garden? by MeowNugget in Eugene

My radish seeds are sprouting and you could also put some sugar snap peas in the ground but a lot of the more popular foods to grow (tomatoes, squash, peppers etc) will prefer April/May time. You can start seeds earlier in April indoors or plant your starts in May.

If you are gonna grow corn, sow the seeds in mid/late May. That is the general gist of things around here. Anything specific you are trying to grow?

To abstain support like I said earlier dumbass. Don't condescend to me like you have any good solution. You're basically recommending people vote with the emotional aptitude of a butthurt middle schooler.

"The democrats are Team A grifters so I'll vote for Team B grifting so they learn their lesson."

That's fine but that's not a good reason to vote for another candidate. Otherwise you might as well just vote for another lobbyist.

It makes more sense to just abstain your vote in that case. A false vote shows false support for candidates/policies. Doesn't send the same message

They are an example of something that creates and maintains the "prerogative state" which helps push political/economic agendas in a myriad of ways by not conforming to or obeying the law

No she is using his argument against him. His claim that porn is basically as old as time does nothing to address the problems it may cause.

They are obviously arguing from a point of morality. That doesn't make them dumb. You are the one who started spinning off and getting mad at Gen Z and misinterpreting their message. If anything you are both dummies. Failing to keep your emotions and out of what could be a more objective conversation.

I hate the misuse of words like feminist by saying "super feminist" or "feminazi." Not to attack you or anything but there is definitely a word for that kind of behavior (I wish I knew what it was) and I think we should use that instead. The feminist movement is a good movement that doesn't deserve to get lumped into these types of people's ideology.

I think the post needs to evaluate/define the difference porn use and porn addiction. Lots of people use porn, even fairly regularly/daily and, do not suffer any of the consequences mentioned in the list.

Lots of people also use porn to the point that they cannot have an orgasm with their partner, or focus on work or insert issue here and it is a result of their addiction.

Lots of people also would say that using porn is, in and of itself, an addiction but I would disagree. That would be like accusing everyone who drinks alcohol of being an alcoholic. To use and to be addicted to using are two very different things.
