Careful dude, my mom looks at Lemmy, I'll get in trouble if she sees naughty words.

If the news started telling us why, we would be able to form our own opinions on the information it provides. The 'why' has been a thing of the past for decades.

Authoritarians gonna authoritate.

Low pay

Buying school supplies with their own money is common

Actively abused by the school kids

Actively abused by the parents of school kids

No support from the administration

We don’t use that word. Corruption and bribery sounds icky.

Try lobbying instead.

The FBI serves the government, not the people. Reporting things to the FBI as a citizen only works if what you are reporting aligns with the current goals of the FBI. If the government is ok with what Twitter/X is doing, the FBI doesn’t give a shit. Behold the highly effective bribery lobbying system.

I’m a bit confused. Of course, if the parents are not supportive then them needing to approve the “nickname” is a problem, but if the parent is supportive, isn’t this good for parents becuase it give them more control over the school. If the parent approves of the nickname, the school has to recognize it and refer to the child by th name.

I agree it’s taking control away from the kids, but is it not giving full control to the parents?

Fuck, somebody tell Savannah, Georgia. This is gonna be messy.

I never understood why we can elect local judges but not our Supreme Court. I understand why people say it’s to keep it from being a political position that people run for like the president, but there has to be some harsher regulations on the Supreme Court judges becuase they keep doing shit like this. All the weird shit is to keep them “unbiased” but it’s clearly that’s just lie we tell the people to keep them placated.

If anyone believes the Supreme Court judges are unaffiliated with political parties, they are willingly ignorant.

As all this stuff comes out and gets verified, I keep naively thinking that we will see these people face consequences soon. Eventually someone will have to take action and remove him from his position, but as time passes, nothing happens. The news cycle moves on, and the general population forgets.

It’s shit like this that further drives me into nihilism.

I think he is trying to conflate the 6 year old bragging about shooting people with Kyle Rittenhouse “bragging” about overcoming an attempted character assassination, criminal charges, and successfully defending himself from those who intended to cause death or great bodily harm.

I belive he thinks Kyle Rittenhouse “bragging” about shooting (lawful self-defense) people is the same as the 6 year old bragging about shooting (attempted murder) his teacher.

It’s probably a case of her thinking she can not defend herself out of fear of backlash. Teachers have been charged with assault when defending themselves from students.

there are other just like me.

I am right here, and there are many more. I quit reddit about a week before the blackout. I used to be a power user, I’m talking more than 3 hours a day easily. I made a few post, but most of my engagement was from comments. I quit cold turkey, actively avoiding reddit result from google searches.

Fast forward to today, and I still don’t use it out of spite. I still avoid it if I can but if there are search results from Google that have answers to my specific problem on reddit, I will read the comments with ad-block on and move on to another website if the reddit link did not provide a solution.
