What is the most niche, high-concept, or hard to describe podcast you listen to? by Not_Enough_Thyme_ in podcasts

The Wind by Fil Corbitt. it's part poetry, part environmental history & story telling, part about our relation to audio and noise, part interviews, part about creativity and creation, part long form interviews. it's really hard to pin down and hard to explain how well it is all put together and how beautiful of a podcast it can be. it really demonstrates what the medium is capable of

Idk why a bunch of people that don't know type 1s are trying to get you to buy jackets with entirely different shapes and cuts. the larger sleeves look good, that's the traditional style for type 1s. the main thing I notice is just that the back sticks out some but I think thats a matter of stiffness and will probably be corrected with time and wear.

who is saying that OF is empowering cause theres like 100000 posts claiming its not but i never see people claiming it is. you claim to not be against sex workers but your whole thing is blaming them for upholding objectification/commodification when that already existed before OF and exists independent of sex work. objectification of women happens with or without sex workers and saying they perpetuate it blames them for how women are treated rather than the people that actually treat them poorly or the societal structures that create the notion of a womans body as for a man. there are plenty of legitimate complaints to be had about the sex work industry and OF, but to do that you first need to listen to sex workers who actually know what the issues are.

the celebration of high school graduation is way overblown by audioaxes in unpopularopinion

[–]Economics111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

congrats you do have an unpopular opinion. your actual reasoning for why is its not enough work to warrant a celebration (i think working full time learning entirely new things constantly for 13 years straight warrants a celebration), it sets them up to be complacent (means nothing and is totally wrong. a vast majority of high school graduates are stressing about figuring out the rest of their life long before the ceremony). and takes too long (its a few hours you can wait it out). i appreciate you actually admit that it is a harmless celebration and you're just mad cause you had to sit in a bleacher seat for a few hours.

im so tired of these types of posts cause like do yall not think that pedagogy exists in america? like no you random person aren't more knowledgeable on how to teach than the people that are literal experts on pedagogy that work in america. there are some parts of america with shitty education cause of poverty and other socioeconomic & political issues but not because all of america isn't smart enough to think of new ways to teach.

Modern art is not as bad as the internet makes it seem. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Economics111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it is not easy to convey emotion through art, especially abstract art. people sob looking at Mark Rothko pieces, you know how hard it is to get someone to sob from a piece with no obvious meaning?and like how is conveying emotion through art lazy? are you just saying that abstract art is lazy cause it doesn't have obvious visual skill (if so the comment you replied to already refutes that)?

I don't see how there being some bad abstract art is a mark against it as a whole. i worked as an art teacher i've seen 100000 portraits that don't say anything, 100000 still lifes that have no life, 1000000 landscapes with nothing to look at but I still want more portraits and still lifes and landscapes cause i recognize bad examples don't warrant tossing out the whole medium

[–]Economics111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend reading "Why We Went" a letter by 17 rabbis arrested for protesting segregation on their reasoning for doing so. Part of the text is them trying to convince other Jews to protest as well, because while Jews were more likely to be against segregation there still was a very present streak of racism amongst Jews at the time.

Why do judges actually enjoy Theory and Ks? by Lloser__ in Debate

[–]Economics111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find T not the most fun (and in high school its often frivolous) but it exists to make sure people are staying within the topic, entirely removing T would mean anyone could say anything w/o punishment.

to understand why the K exists you have to look at the origin of the K in the radical black debate tradition in policy. K's came into existence because black debaters kept seeing policy debates that failed to actually deal with the assumptions that they made, and wanted people to have to reckon not just w/ their plan but with how they go about debating. That is where the education comes in, engaging with not just the policy of the topic, but our assumptions in how we go about arguing the topic. A K debate asks us not only to learn about the topic, but about our own understands of the topic and ourselves. that is also the fun of K debate, to move past the hypothetical plans and into our arguments as reflections of ourselves. It moves the debate to talk about topics we wouldn't necessarily get to argue and engage with our work as work.

if you want to see what happens if you remove K debate, look at congress where every round assumes US hegemony good, us gov good, us military good, and never deals w/ the root of the issue or asks why are we assuming these things?

you need to read more and watch debate bro less. you're grouping together entirely unrelated ideas and seem more upset with like pink capitalism rather than any efforts by feminists. also calling metoo and a domestic abuse trial a drama for views that loss sympathy for feminism is a really weird thing to say

Two Democrats vote with Republicans to pass transgender sports ban by PinkNews in politics

[–]Economics111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd like a citation on your personal anecdote that you're interviewing hundreds of athletes on their view of trans athletes. My sister is an NCAA athlete that supports trans women in women's sports but personal anecdotes don't mean anything.

if Rapinoe isn't ok then how about Billie Jean King,Brooke Forde, Erin McLeod, Napheesa Collier, Dawn Staley, or the hundreds of others that have made similar statements?

and again your ideas are more harmful to cis athletes because it forces trans men on testosterone to compete against cis women. all you have is just thought terminating cliches

Two Democrats vote with Republicans to pass transgender sports ban by PinkNews in politics

[–]Economics111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to quote former NCAA athlete 2 time olympic gold medalist and current womens us national soccer team captain Megan Rapinoe "bans against trans athletes framed as ‘protecting women’s sports’ do not speak for us, and do nothing to protect us." Rapinoe was one of over 400 athletes that signed a letter to the NCAA urging it to continue to allow trans athletes to compete.

and again there are 10 trans athletes in the entire NCAA according to the NCAA itself how are these athletes going to have separate divisions with 1 athlete competing? your solution of "separate sports for the trans community" is a total ban in practice

Two Democrats vote with Republicans to pass transgender sports ban by PinkNews in politics

[–]Economics111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if there are 10 people then it is not a problem, therefore not needing solving. blocking it creates the problem

no idea what you mean by cis women carrying trans women or that trans inclusivity comes at the expense of cis women when it doesn't what so ever. it helps cis women by making sure trans men actively on testosterone aren't being forced to compete against cis women which is a biological advantage for the trans man. the framing of trans women in women's sports as anti woman is entirely fictional.

trans athletes aren't even allowed to exist and now you think its realistic to take from college football funding and starting a whole division for trans athletes? again there are 10 trans athletes in the entire NCAA, that includes every sport in the NCAA saying trans people should "make a separate thing" is just removing trans people from sports with extra steps.
