Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child’s homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.

That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting… or anywhere really.

I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid’s homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn’t enough.

Critical thinking and how to cross check your sources to verify if something is true are invaluable skills.

I graduated high school in 2006 and we had to learn both of those in order write research papers. I grew up in a blue state, and went to public school. My English teacher also taught us that “anyone can get a book published, or write an article online, so always cross check your sources and make sure they aren’t making stuff up.”

They taught us those skills so we could write papers for college, but I feel like they’re even more important now just for navigating the internet.

Wow. DeSantis is going for gold in the “I’m a complete piece of shit that doesn’t deserve to exist on the same planet as the rest of us” race.

Also, banning abortion isn’t going to increase the “domestic source of babies” that’s supposed to keep the economy going. If they’re so worried about our future population maybe fix the school shooting issue with gun control? It’s kinda hard to grow a population when children(and adults) keep getting killed by mass shooters.

Oh yeah, the population issue is just a dog whistle to torture women. Yes, torture. Dying slowly from sepsis because a hospital won’t remove a dead baby from your body should classify as torture.

People like DeSantis are actually evil. They make up ‘problems’ so they can justify enacting cruel legislation. Please let a sink hole randomly open up swallow that asshole.

This is true. My extended family leans conservative but is from the far north(think border of Canada north.) It’s honestly really weird how the more rural you get, the more republican people are.

However, my cousins and the younger members are far more left than the older members(are lgtbq friendly, support BLM, acknowledge climate change is real ect) some of them left the area and some stayed, but in general the difference in generations has given me some hope.

Ugh these motherfuckers get literally every grain of truth wrong. Trees do prevent flooding(studied to be an arborist and utilizing trees in urban environments for cooling and flood control), BUT the amount of trees cleared for wind turbines is negligible compared to what we’ve cut down for parking lots and industrial complexes(pavement increases flooding).

Besides, no amount of trees is going to take care of that amount of rainfall in that period of time. Even if everything was forest there’s only so much they can absorb. Some of them would uproot and tip over from the ground becoming so water logged. I’ve seen it happening in our forests from an unusually wet summer. Entire portions of forest where the trees just fell over from too much water in the soil after 3 years of drought.

I’d probably draw on his face first because I’m a bit childish but yeah. What the hell is wrong with people?

I see your point, I do. But I also see theirs. There will be no one around in the future to enjoy or make art if we continue fucking up the world with fossil fuels the way we are.

Maybe it’d be better to walk around posting little signs on the paintings descriptions with a catch phrase like “like art? Stop fossil fuels” then a little blurb about how there’ll be no art in the future if there is no future.

That’s probably how I’d handle it, maybe even try to work with the museum so the signs wouldnt get taken down. But, that doesn’t get media attention. It’d never end up in the news. Maybe after contacting 50 museums it’d get a small mention, but ultimately no one would care.

Our current news cycles don’t encourage people to act civilly when trying to be heard. So that’s why this sort of extreme behavior keeps happening. It’s a vicious feedback loop and just like climate change we don’t seem to be making any moves to stop it.

Mcdonald’s was making their coffee so hot frodo could’ve destroyed the one ring in it.

No, I just keep them in a clean spot and they last about a week before they start looking dingy. Then I use a new pair.

I don’t get a lot of earwax though so someone who’s ears make more will probably have to change them more frequently.

Ear plugs have been a life saver for me. I can’t sleep without them now, fortunately they sell them in huge containers so I only have to buy them like every year and half.

Companies make way more money shoveling ads down our throats than they ever will from subscriptions. That’s why subscriptions services end up having ads anyway… or doing things like Netflix whos offering a cheaper subscription that serves ads.

We’ll never get companies to get away from ad revenue. It too easy of a way to make money.

Women are allowed to walk around in sandals and no shoes at the beach despite foot fetishes being one of the most common paraphilias(behind breasts.)

You don’t see women getting accosted by guys who like feet because they have their toes out and it’s sexual to some guy nearby.

If dudes into feet can control themselves and be respectful then so can dudes into breasts when they are near a top less woman in public.

It’s not like she’s asking for breast implants or liposuction(or something else that is not reconstructive in nature). It’s lasik, and it’ll help her quality of life, no more worrying about breaking her glasses or losing contacts.

We dont know if she works in special ed where getting hit in the face could be a normal occurance for her. Maybe she struggles with contacts. Either way there are a lot of reasons for someone to want to go that route.

Also, comparing lasik to something like nonreconstructive cosmetic surgery is disingenuous. One is completely for aesthetics, the other affects function.

I always look at it this way… being into feet is one of the most common paraphilias(other than breasts) that people can have.

If folks into feet can control themselves in summertime when barefeet and sandals are common, then people into boobs can control themselves when they see female nipples out.

I also agree that we need to desexualize the nude human body outside of sexual contexts. I went to a classical art school where we would draw from live nude models for 8 hours a day.

How quickly you get used to nude bodies is kind of impressive, and the men in class didn’t turn into sex crazed animals when we had nude female models. The folks into penises didn’t become possessed with lust over the nude male models. Everything went professionally as it should. So people can in fact handle nude bodies with maturity when they want to.

Its just most people dont want to… for some reason.

It’s so happy to be here

Reckless endangerment and manslaughter.

They were warned that women would die due these laws and they didn’t listen. They recklessly put those laws there and people died… resulting in manslaughter.

I’d prefer homicide too, but I feel like manslaughter charges would stick better because you don’t have to prove intent, just that someone died because of their actions.

I’ve literally heard religious people say that women are supposed to be willing to die for their babies. If a woman wants to live and aborts a septic pregnancy she’s a bad, immoral person.

It’s super fucked up how much conviction they have when they say it too. Women are basically just a disposable womb to them. I always feel gross when I’m near someone saying that kind of shit.

Supply and demand is a fickle bitch.

Excuse me while I go cry a river for the real estate tycoons who will have to sell off their yachts.

If they’re mad about people shopping while working from home I have bad news.

People shop from their phones while working at the job site too. I see several of my coworkers doing this frequently. Shit, I’ve done it.

Sure, we can’t shower on site unless you’re a firefighter or something, or have a gym at workplace, but still.

Employers need to reign in their power hungry bullshit. You don’t own your employees, and if the work is getting done on time, you have nothing to complain about.

I guess all those things are worse than your pet getting West Nile disease, rabies, distemper, or any of the various diseases pets can get.

Some horse people have stopped giving their horses vaccines because " Wild horses don’t need them"(wild horses don’t live as long dumbfuck) and west nile is going rampant. Seeing a horse with west Nile so bad they need to be euthanized is not something I’d wish on anyone. It goes neurological in them and causes loss of coordination and seizures.
