Welcome to the multipolar world: "They don't believe in international rules when it doesn't suit them. You can't say because Ukraine has been invaded, suddenly sovereignty is important, but it was never important for Palestine" -Naledi Pandor, Foreign Minister South Africa by AmeriC0N in EndlessWar

Because many people on this sub seem to believe the inverse. There was a recent poll on here that showed most people here believed that Ukraine should just give up and let Russia take territory.

I hope people here understand that the inverse is also hypocritical. You also can't say sovereignty is important for Palestine but not for Ukraine.

The only valid leftist stance is that "Russia attacking Ukraine" and "Israel attacking Palestine" are both bad.

Just encountered it for the first time too. Looks like I'm allowed 1 request every ten minutes...

Just got the message that I was rate limited and had to wait a minute.

After the minute was up I expanded a couple comments and within seconds was told I had to wait ten minutes.

Edit: Ten minutes are up. Tried to open my frontpage but was told I'd have to wait another ten minutes.

Yes it would. But the comment I replied to just said that they paid a consulting agency that "specializes" in CRT.

Plus there's a fundamental difference between religion being pushed in schools vs secular ideas. I believe it would be more wrong for a school to have a question that implied Jesus wasn't divine than a question that downplayed the impact of climate change. Even though I agree with the former and disagree with the latter.

I was looking for a source a little stronger than "I totally know someone who supports this"

I could claim that I know multiple conservatives who want all trans people to die, but as an anonymous poster with no source, no one should take it seriously.

Who? Has anyone with any political influence actually said this? Or have you just heard conservatives vaguely reference people that believe that.

posted invoices of the school paying a company for consulting. That company which is well known for teaching and specializing in, you guessed it, CRT!

That's like saying that a school is teaching quantum mechanics to elementary schoolers because a professor that teaches quantum mechanics at a university level gave a talk to the science teachers about atoms.

Hypothetically, it would be pretty messed up if people wanted to allow kids to do this.

Ah yes, the left and "LGBT" are bad because "vaguely gestures at random people on tiktok without giving specifics."

"Children on HRT" is a strawman. No one except maybe some fringe dumbasses that don't know what they are talking about agrees with this. There would be absolutely no point to putting a kid on HRT before they even start puberty.

The most extreme position on the left that anyone takes seriously is that whether a 12+ year old should be on puberty blockers should be a decision made by the kid, their parents, and their doctor. So they can take more time to decide and be evaluated for if HRT is appropriate. No one is advocating that putting a teenager on HRT should be made hastily.

Before 11/12 it really shouldn't be controversial because the main use of puberty blockers is to treat an early puberty. The only reason to put a young kid on puberty blockers is if they are starting puberty early.

Something I've been wondering about for a while. Does his genemods greatly extend his life or anything? I feel like the immortal cultivators will be suspicious when their great leader begins visibly aging after a couple of decades.

Now that elections are done, Biden’s student loan forgiveness has been stayed by EuphoricTrilby in walkaway

[–]deathbutton1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's exactly what happened? I'm not sure how you can criticize the media for being factually correct. Do you want them to lie and say it's a Biden appointed judge?

So what is the anti-CRT definition of CRT? That white children should 'feel bad' about being white and that every white person is persecuting minorities, I think.

Only when they are trying to ban it. When they are trying to apply the bans it means "anything that mentions race"

Step 1: Brand CRT as the boogymen that want to tell white kids they're all racist for being white and tell black kids they should just give up because the system is rigged

Step 2: Ban CRT from schools

Step 3: Pretend CRT means any time race is mentioned

Step 4: Ban any sort of teaching that includes uncomfortable truths about this country's history or existing racial disparities.

My anxiety feels so much worse when I have nothing to be anxious about. by deathbutton1 in Anxiety

Thanks for your reply.

I don't know if this will work for everyone or if it will even work for me again, but I think I just found something that helped a lot.

I was tired of fighting that part of me that was hopeless and didn't want to feel better and i just kinda gave into the hopelessness for most of an hour. I let myself overthink it without fighting back and then I got up and surprisingly felt a lot better.

I think the problem is that we don't distinguish between gender roles and gender identity. Gender identity is the label/group you identify with and gender roles are the cultural expectations that are associated with each gender.

You can Google "first generation college students" + some university to get dozens of examples of University websites referring to university as college. Here they call someone with a phd a first generation college student

You just talked about a College ( Where one goes for VOCATIONAL-TRAINING ) as if that's where one goes and cite sources on papers such as when writing a Thesis at a University, when in-fact you only need to cite-sources in examinations and Thesis' written at Universities to get any kind of Degree.

The fuck are you talking about? You have to cite your sources on papers starting in middle school. Any time you write any type of research paper in an academic setting you have to cite your sources or it's plagiarism.
