Milley says military is not woke: ‘I’m not even sure what that word truly means’
  • There is actually a real definition to it. For example one day I realized that black people live in a world different than mine.

    It woke me up to the realities of black existence

    That’s why it’s “woke”.

    When i had my kid and i read a bunch of stuff on parenting, i also came across those articles where black families needed to talk to their sons about police. It never occurred to me that people would need to so that.

  • “AI took my job, literally”—Gizmodo fires Spanish staff amid switch to AI translator
  • this is why I believe capitalism is unsustainable.

    when I talk about automation and labor, no one seems to get it. Hey, if your job gets automated, you get fired. Have you even considered that you could do less labor for the same pay because your work got automated? they just look at me like my head's been cut off.

  • College students are still struggling with basic math. Professors blame the pandemic
  • I had to student teach secondary mathematics in october of 2020.

    My host teacher was very up-to-date on online learning platforms (like pear deck and desmos) so i got to teach while learning these programs and making lessons with someone very knowledgeable with this. We also had 30% IEP students but also had a special education teacher so that helped a lot as well.

    But otherwise most of the teachers were unprepared to teach themselves.

    If you used manipulatives which i deem necessary to visualize fractions you were out of luck :(

  • The salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state
  • This is a really good source of information by county:

    https://livingwage.mit.edu/

    One thing that people forget is that minimum wage is a factor as well. In texas a living wage is $14 and living wage of $25 in california. so you’d think you’d have a better cost of living in texas. However if you compare the minimum wage texas is $7.25 and california is $15.50.

    For the amount you work, california is a better deal. However that makes it harder for people to come move to california obviously.

  • Biden administration adds insulin to drug price negotiation list in major blow to big pharma
  • Don’t forget that we have right of center (democrats), right (republicans) and left of center (bernie sanders).

    Democrats are still rich and love the lobby money.

    Clintons have invested in privatizing prisons for example.

    It’s not just the republicans that take advantage of the single ideology vote.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • i was a right libertarian at one time.

    The more research i did, right libertarianism just didn’t sit well with me. I couldn’t reconcile their politics because i have empathy. I wish i was lying. These are selfish fucks who twisted the word to fit their needs.

  • Community Rallies To Demand Freedom for Trans Woman Arrested After Being Attacked in Flagstaff, AZ
  • This is not about getting shot or not this is about marginalized people defending themselves from a society that wants them dead. Plenty of trans folks fear for their lives without one bullet being shot so your logic fails.

    If they do want to arm themselves, who I am to tell them that's irrational. I'm not trans. I don't know what their life is like.

  • Community Rallies To Demand Freedom for Trans Woman Arrested After Being Attacked in Flagstaff, AZ
  • When we were living in the high desert of california our friend would meet up at mcDs to let our kids play together. we were minding our own fucking business when a white stranger who asked our white friend if he was “okay”. As in was he ok with hanging out with us asians. This was before covid, only 70miles out of DTLA.

    We don’t live there anymore thank god. Many are not fortunate enough to move away from this kind of hostile environment. How in the fuck can you say that for them to get a gun to defend themselves is irrational and insane?

  • How are slavery reparations fair?
  • Reparations are fair because of wealth that it created for a group of citizens: It doesn’t mean your personal wealth. Also just a note: repatriation doesn’t have to be monetary because labor can create wealth as well.

    For example we are japanese american, wealth made from 1900-1945 was wiped out by internment. My husband’s family farmed on property that is now worth millions of dollars. That’s wealth that went to people who took the land from his family after they were forcefully removed. That wealth could have helped the next generation of japanese americans, that wealth went to white people instead because of policies made by white people. THIS IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER INTERNMENT WAS RIGHT OR WRONG.

    Same thing with slaves, the work they did became wealth for white people collectively. Then when they were freed it didn’t mean that they got to get the wealth back from them. They ate still discriminated so the wealth they created are still circulating within white people as a whole.

    Reparation means to circulate the wealth that white people disproportionately have to the group of people who otherwise be using that wealth right now.

    Also no one told white people how to spend money they made off of black slaves. Why do white people get to tell how the reparation money should be spent? That’s not reparation, that’s still white people trying to control people of color.

  • Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW
  • I agree.

    Also when we’re all being fucked over no one has a right to say how we (in general) should be protesting. People get to show their anger in whatever way they want. It’s like people asking for civility so they don’t have to deal with uncomfortable messages. Um fuck no. NSFW all the way if that’s what one decides.

    Thanks for agitating

  • What is your attachment style?
  • Tl;dr attachment styles are definitely a thing however it’s not set in stone. You can start doing things like going to therapy, medication, self-reflect to identify where you can do better.

    I’m disorganized - been diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder and cPTSD. I have the usual depression and anxiety. Just last year I found out the true root of the problem is undiagnosed ADHD and my whole family probably has it.

    When I started dating my now husband I did horrible things to him. I emotionally abused him. I would get angry for reasons I wouldn’t tell him. Just take off and walk around the city and feel good that he was looking for me.

    It’s only from the grace of the spaghetti monster that he didn’t give up on me. In 2008 I started to go to therapy on and off and our relationship got better. it was finally in 2018 that i decided to seek real help. Now I am on a cocktail of meds, happy, and alive.

    My husband is the MVP of our relationship! We’ve been together 23 years and married for 17 of them. :)

    You can change, but only if you want it.
