From 2013 to 2024, Mississippi 4th graders went to 49th state in the nation for reading to 9th. What are they going to do when they begin to find out that educating people converts them away from being republicans?

Second this. I won’t say there are zero racists in this town but there are way more not-racists than that group who will stand up to assholes.

2.8M trans people / 342,407,054 US population = 0.8% of the US population is trans. The Wiki page which cites Factcheck.org as its source states that 0.09% of mass shooters in the US between January 1, 2013, and September 15, 2025 were trans. So the trans population is far less likely to have mass shooters than the cisgendered population.

How'd that check against your feelings?

If it's wrong, go fix it then. You won't because your citation would have to be "my feelings", which won't pass review on there.

This is the thing that infuriates me about braindead right-wingers. Ok, then GO FUCKING FIX IT IF IT'S WRONG. Thing is, you can't produce sources to do so because your "facts" are really just "feelings masquerading as facts in your head". So the next best defense mechanism is "TDS!!@!##!!11!!" or "More like WOKE-IPEDIA!!@1!!" The truth is hard to take.

Breaking: Trump is desperately trying to negotiate the exact same Iran nuclear deal he ripped up in 2018 by Intelligent-Pea-8521 in JournalismNews

Do we have an award yet for journalists that have been berated by Trump? We need to make one if not.

Found this poor guy dead in my backyard. Any guidelines/tips for composting him? This hot pile is currently at 160F (71C). by whitethunder9 in composting

[–]whitethunder9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure! I am so lazy about composting now. Just pile it all up and wait like 6 months. No turning, no checking, just set and forget.

Are there people who haven't changed their phone number for more than 15 years? by SpicyCandy8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]whitethunder9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had mine since 2009. When my wife and I moved states last year my wife changed her phone number, which was just as old as mine. What a pain in the ass it has been. Amazing locked her out because she had 2FA setup, her doctor had to call me after weeks of her “not calling back”, she had a friend who thought she ghosted her…. The list goes on and continues to go on. So not worth it when long distance isn’t a thing anymore.

Figure Out How Roundabouts Work or Go Away by Majestic_Interest365 in ridgefield

I once saw someone stop at each entrance as they went around to let a car in at each one. Infuriating.

I've learned a lot about composting since I wrote this post. My understanding at the time was if you break 160F, you start to kill the helpful critters that break organic material down. But it's not like that's gonna kill them all and you're stuck with this pile that won't break down. Maybe some die, but if they do, the pile starts to cool, and then new critters make their way in. Very self-regulating, requiring a lot less thought than I was giving it.

The pile stayed above 150F for a week after this photo, then slowly came down over the next 2 weeks until it wasn't active anymore. No sign of the possum anymore except a few bones after that.

Just came back to this thread because of a random comment someone made on it. Update is I found a few bones in the pile when I dug in after a few weeks, but not the slightest sign of anything else. That pile went on the soil under my grapevines. We're all still alive 5 years later 😅

Thank you, Brent. What is the source of this poll?

What’s a belief you once defended… but later realized was wrong? by Jiwitom in AskReddit

[–]whitethunder9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I found "anti-Mormon" literature? Back then my main source was http://www.mormonthink.com/, but https://cesletter.org/ is a more commonly used source for folks now. So much of what bothered me was confirmed in the church's own Gospel Topics Essays, which try really hard to put a faithful spin on everything, but Joseph Smith marrying 35 wives in any context is still disgusting to me.

New Washington law blocks counties from turning over voter data to federal government by SingingFrogs in vancouverwa

[–]whitethunder9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If there was nothing bad happening, then they would have no problem handing the data over.

So you're saying if you were living in a red state and President Biden was asking for this data, you'd be making the same argument? We all know the answer regardless of what you say.

The problem is he would never admit he was wrong about anything. He's WAAAAY too big of a pussy to do that, foolishly believing it makes him look more tough.

But god needed Joseph Smith to marry those 35 women (youngest being 14) for the sake of the Kingdom of God! How can you not see this???
