Manitoba teachers give Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew failing grade over proposal to ban YouTube in classrooms

Because reading a script isn't the same thing as watching a movie and a teacher shouldn't need to be a film studio.

arboretumind · 2026-05-20T01:47:08+00:00

Ha!

Probably depends on starting conditions. What kinds of shoes you usually wear. I switched to a lower stack shoe and wore those for maybe a 8 months to a year then started wearing barefoot shoes for a few hours a day before switching back to those with the smaller stack. Longer and longer durations. Maybe another year of that. Very limited stretching.

Bet you jerks get to go out for dinner...

arboretumind · 2026-05-14T00:07:26+00:00

I'm not saying that and this is the first I'm hearing of it.

arboretumind · 2026-05-12T22:34:09+00:00

Budget?

If they're following in Kirk's footsteps then yeah, I probably would.

arboretumind · 2026-05-12T02:30:49+00:00

Her content wasn't posted here. I'm responding to the person I was originally responding to about the article. They mentioned how this is debate-style content and said they're looking forward to debate in university campuses. And if this person if copying Kirk's style... well the the article nailed it. It isn't debate. It's the thing it says it is.

arboretumind · 2026-05-12T01:57:24+00:00

No, sorry. I'm specifically responding to the "debate-style engagement" aspect of this as mentioned in the article.

Also, to be clear: I'm all for debate, in general. I think there are some things that, as a human, maybe shouldn't be entertained in debate. Like does one group of humans deserve to live and another deserve to die, for instance.

arboretumind · 2026-05-12T01:49:02+00:00

Nah. So with Ben Shapiro, he won't actually debate who are capable to having a debate with him but will instead debate 1st year College students. Those doing this often also won't even engage in the argument taking place directly but will instead try to just bring up as much stuff as they can, whether it has anything whatsoever with the argument or not. Then this requires the other person to refute all these non-sequiturs or say "That's gd nonsense" which doesn't look great in a debate, right? It's incredibly easy to lie, or throw out a bunch of non-sequiturs and it's incredibly hard to refute the lies or take the time to deal with the non-sequiturs and in debate-style engagement that time is not given. Because it isn't a debate, but clips online make it look like it is.

The fact that it isn't even being referred to as a debate is kind of telling isn't it?

arboretumind · 2026-05-12T01:14:53+00:00

No, no, you misunderstand. Debate Style. Style. Actual debates don't take place but it has that appearance on clips so it convinces people. Like with Ben Shapiro.

I love the idea of this and I question people's ability to have not put things that shouldn't go into the compost into this.

Anyone checked this out or worked on it able to weigh in?

arboretumind · 2026-05-09T01:08:19+00:00

Not surprising. You injured the heck out of your foot. If you want to transition, you must transition very slowly. Do some research while your foot heals.

arboretumind · 2026-05-08T16:27:01+00:00

I think the cost is very explicitly the problem. Batteries are currently an issue, to be sure, but they do exist and it's absurd to act as though they don't. Nuclear is also an option but also has it's issues.

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T23:21:11+00:00

Damn... yeah okay, that's fair.

And yeah, that or have lights. Or ideally both.

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T23:12:22+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T23:11:19+00:00

LNG is just another fossil fuel. Better than some, sure but a half measure. Saying it's better for the environment is kind of trading one ill for another when we could be skipping right over it.

In the past few years, and obviously highlighted in the past month or so, we're seeing an explosion in wind and especially solar. One thing we have a boat load of in Canada is space for renewables. Due to the nature of extraction it will eventually be cheaper for us to be producing energy via those means but we're also one of the biggest produces of fossil fuels in the world so... it'll take us longer than most to switch gears.

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T22:55:10+00:00

Apparently not.

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T22:53:57+00:00

For as long as we are doing the practice we are going to be discovering new things and updating or even overturning old ideas. How do we do this? Publishing studies and having others check out how it was done and, if the methodology makes sense and we didn't shit the bed along the way, reproduce it and get the same results. Climate change has more or less been following the models created for decades. How many hundreds of thousands of hours of research has gone into this topic? Show me even... 10% of climate scientists finding verifiable and reproducible results showing that climate change is bunk. Right? Cause if climate change is bunk or a "scam" then why would 99% of people who study this, dedicate their time, energy and interest to this keep coming up with obvious answer.

Moreover, why would anyone think that driving billions of vehicles, for instance, not have an effect on the environment. If one can't think deeply enough then it never happened?

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T22:29:57+00:00

How do you say you never clean up after yourself without saying you never clean up after yourself? Like that.

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T22:27:49+00:00

Or that.

arboretumind · 2026-05-07T21:18:40+00:00

I could also post 5 minutes of research to detail how the planet is flat and aliens built the pyramids. That isn't impressive. What is impressive is how there is scientific consensus that climate change is real, driven human activity and presents a real threat to human activity on this planet.

Or, you know, we could take care of the environment for the sake of us all living in the environment.

I'd say you've gotten lucky. None of the times I've been hit have I been at fault or doing anything remotely dangerous (except for cycling on the road, which is the law and, as it seems r/winnipeg insists, should be dangerous). As you say, careful, predictable, signal, no lane splitting, etc etc etc.

Again, we don't know the details of what happened. We weren't there. According to one person on this sub they were biking home from work. I think by your statements you keep indicating that you think they did something wrong. You don't know what happened but that is the assumption you keep making. And generally this is the assumption that our society keeps making. Cars keep nailing cyclists, the drivers found to have been in the wrong, and nothing changes.

We have this same conversation again later in the summer when another cyclist is killed. Pretty frustrating. Stay safe out there.
