british comic stuart lee on the subject.
imagine being in the strategy meeting with your team, when they suggest a play based on suspending withdrawing food from child would go well with your voters.
imagine agreeing to go with it. getting a speech written about it and one day standing at the lectern to say in front of crowd of assembled people "it is not our responsiblity to feed children". and then pausing for applause and going home and telling your spouse, "today went great".
in this supply chain of inhumanity, there were so many opportunities for the heart to say "yo...something is off here.....cant quite put my finger on it.......but it doesnt seem.....right ?."
to sail through all those checkpoints of human decency, and go through with it, is nothing less than psychopathy.
the unplanned kids that arrived under anti abortion laws.
it's a weird mindset.
...so does a post get created here, if i just tag it up ?
very cool - but.... could get a bit busy, if a new post easy is created so trivially easy ?
the idea that a cabal of mods were going to take things in a good direction was always unsound
forgot to say -
. When I was in high school I was told half-caste was an acceptable term in the mid 2000s,
dual heritage is the way to go ! and much more meaningful.
I can see why, only if it is still being taught as it was 30 years ago - ie without addressing the language used - and I hope thats not the case. I can't imagine anyone doing so in 2023.
If you start pulling stuff for those reasons (and for the record, I dont understand why they are still reading Steinbeck anyway) you go down a slightly dodgy path.
15 years in the bin :-\ but if i'm honest, i only liked the jerk reddits these days.
the mains subs were soo big as to be useless, there were powerful unregulated networks of mods who ran like 40 - 50 subs.... thats not at all healthy.
actual content, although we miss it, was really thin.
wont take a whole lot to replace it. i'm not a big poster, but i'm committed to trying to get this off the ground.
as for reddit, it will survive for now. there are plenty of middle of the road uses to make money, plus, a lot of people will go back, sadly.
is there a better place, to learn and discuss racial slurs and the significance of the word, than in a class room ?
or should they learn it from rap music ? where it's thrown around liberally like punctation, with no information about why it is the word that it is ?
thats incestuous
if we're only reading about rainbows and unicorns, it certainly thins the library.
