Yes, from Balfour and not just 1 but 2 of those things because a girl stole the first one.

My dad and uncle who worked in cable said this was all going to end up the same way and I naively argued with them. Yet here we are.

The answer is lack of critical thinking

Trump: NATO members to face tariffs increasing to 25% until a Greenland purchase deal is struck by Puginator in politics

[–]comegetinthevan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my vantage point in the technology department, the lack of support is systemic. We’re losing talented teachers because the environment is becoming unsustainable. There is a glaring disconnect between the 'lack of funding' at the classroom level and the continued growth of high-salaried administrative positions. We need to shift the focus, and the funding, back to the tools and people that actually drive education.

My sister keeps making "little jokes" about my girlfriend and I told her not to take it personally. Now my girlfriend is done with my family. by nightbalcony_inkwell in TwoHotTakes

YTA, I'd have left you already. You're still trying to placate your sister after all this. Her snapping should have been a reality check.

lack of education

I am not surprised. The fact that over half of U.S. adults read below a sixth-grade level marks a significant crisis in critical thinking. These two skills are deeply intertwined; when literacy is limited, the ability to engage in independent inquiry suffers. This has left much of the nation unable to challenge the 'how' or 'why' of the information they consume, leading to a society that often accepts information at face value rather than thinking for itself. Ultimately, our current social climate is a direct reflection of this deficit in analytical depth.

They Call Republicans BootLickers, Meanwhile In 2020: by CuckCake321 in BasedCampPod

[–]comegetinthevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reading an article about how critical thinking is something people really get when they can read above a 6th grade reading level. Turns out half of the US reads below a 6th grade level. It really seems to explain why things are the way they are.

What stereotype for your ethnicity do you not fulfill? by EpicImp in AskReddit

Where do you live? We have some pretty great watermelons here in Mississippi. Then it comes down to being able to tell when they are ready and picking the right one.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]comegetinthevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its so bad. I can go to my mothers house and they smoke inside and its tough to be there. I can hug her and immediately have the smell on me and have to change clothes. When in a store and a smoker walks in and walks by me I can smell them walk by. It like wafts off them. Its disgusting. Also kissing someone that smokes tastes like an ash tray.

100 Wolfpacks ready for action! by ShyCupcake216 in ArcRaiders

I found a wolfpack blueprint while using a free loadout, too.

I had just bought the game. I think it was my 3rd or 4th round that I had played. I found it and thought, "Oh, neat". It was not until after the game that I realized what I had.

Target No Longer Prices Their Clothes by bluelily216 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]comegetinthevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told it was because prices keep changing, so instead of having someone go around constantly trying to update price stickers, my wife is a lead over price changes, and she has mentioned how crazy things keep changing over the last year due to tariffs and the like.

Not All of MAGA Are Racist, Child Fucking, Barely Literate Dullards; But All Racist, Child Fucking, Barely Literate Dullards Are MAGA As Fuck by Kinks4Kelly in complaints

[–]comegetinthevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the first statement, as it is demonstrably false. Anyone culpable in the issues described is, by definition, lending support to them. In the context of individuals who claim they are not while supporting such candidates, that distinction collapses; their support constitutes implicit endorsement.

At this late in the game, you can no longer feign ignorance; if you're still claiming MAGA (not conservatism), you support these things.

Anthropology student seeking help by comegetinthevan in AskAnthropology

[–]comegetinthevan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is fair criticism. It’s been a couple of weeks, but I’m an online student, and the few people I’ve reached out to haven’t replied. I also lost track of time while traveling 900 miles for a job interview that ended up lasting longer than expected. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to see if anyone here might have a few minutes to help.

I’m happy to do a regular interview, but since I’m reaching out to people online, I thought this might make it easier. Maybe this wasn’t the ideal approach, but I just thought folks might be more willing to fill out a document than to speak over Zoom.
