We are living in a period of anti-science irrationality, tied with the rise of global fascism.
A significant portion of the US’s population (roughly 1 in 5) believes in Q-anon, Wayfair child trafficking conspiracies, “Frazzledrip” (a supposed video where Hillary Clinton murders a child and drinks their blood for ‘adrenochrome’), etc etc.
I believe Lauren Boebart posted shit about the weather weapons on her Twitter. A good chunk of our elected officials believe this insanity too (remember how fluoridation programs just got nixed). The Oklahoma state GOP platform literally includes a desire to shut down 5G.
Rolling coal should be considered a symptom of mental illness.
Like, why?
The Venn diagram of people who do that shit and think that NOAA has evil HAARP weather weapons is probably a circle.
Did you know that cognitively delayed teenagers exist?
Check real quick - I think “gullible” is written on your ceiling. Watch out, I hear human traffickers are putting fentanyl laced roses on car doors.
Did you see the part where only half of those ingestions were intentional?
You would be freaking out about rainbow parties and snap bracelets in the 90s.
You get this a joke?
Children were never eating tide pods either.
Doublespeak. Take away women’s rights (you know for damn sure that “no fault” divorce and DV support are what Heritage is slavering to cut next) and have a bunch of “feminists” claim that the most important priority in women’s rights is the exclusion of trans women. Not the fact that women are dying because they can’t get reproductive healthcare, not the fact that Adriana Smith was a fucking zombie incubator (in a scene that mirrors something in the Handmaids Tale tv show) - the fact that a trans woman might take a leak in the women’s restroom or be on the women’s team in a fencing competition.
It’s so vibes based.
If you try to nail one of them with persistent Müllerian duct, it’s a “defect” and doesn’t count.
There are tons of otherwise cis men walking around with ovaries.
For all the insistence that they know “basic biology” they fucking don’t.
100% serious. I spent like 10 minutes entertaining a two year old by failing to juggle earlier today and that was the most joy I’ve felt since November.
Just not looking for the low effort, Reddit-tier jokes. Wanting actual advice or at least funny jokes.
Don’t worry - the US government is very concerned about women’s health! They even made a website!
Terrence Yeakey was a black cop in OKC.
It’s always been characterized as a police action against “criminals.”
In the US, we declared war against Native Americans, so it’s more obviously a genocide. Murders of aboriginal Australians have always been constructed as police actions.
I had a wonderful combination of “strict” but also “there aren’t actually rules.”
I could have handled even unreasonable expectations if they had been communicated. But there was no structure at all.
I could ask permission to do something, do it, and then have that permission retroactively revoked. I could have an entirely normal day without anything seeming off, then be grounded for a week because there were dishes in the sink or something.
It never made any sense.
Cross stitch/knitting are both good for that.
You’re still sitting on your couch zoning out watching TV, but you do feel mildly productive.
AI written books have no value.
If it was not worth writing, it is not worth reading.
“Easy.” Being the president of the United States is “easy.”
I guess when pa Trump sets such a sterling example, the job must seem effortless.
So a typical American teacher’s schedule?
