If other sites are anything to go by, drama. Nothing but complete and total drama. Stats are ok, but only if they support maximum drama. Play analysis and tactical discussion is completely unacceptable.

In a row?

Yeah, and I’m also not extracting grandma

You’re not supposed to have fun. You’re supposed to learn so you can get a job that you enjoy.

Hi, elder leftist here. The whole education system is already set up to produce obedient workers. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself how much time is spent teaching kids to organise effectively, or advocate for issues they care about. Or even just build good communication with their classmates, like how to react to bullying.

All that matters is to follow the authority, don’t question the rules, put the things in your head that they give you and nothing else.

The reason kids are bored in school is because the current system doesn’t address the real problems they have, so why should they care about the system.

“I have to work 3 jobs to make rent and health insurance”

“But look at the numbers! We’re almost at full employment! Isn’t that great?”

Problem with all of this is, life expectancy is going down, and we know they’re not just going to kindly lower it to accommodate us. Look at what happened in France this year just to keep it at the same age

Sounds like we need to make a c/fuckgolf

So I read the document, and I think it’s actually worse than what OP wrote. Looking through the curriculum, there’s a steady emphasis on African Americans as “patriots”

Identify African Americans who demonstrated heroism and patriotism (e.g.,Booker T. Washington, Jesse Owens, Tuskegee Airmen, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, President…

And conveniently there’s no mention of how systemic racism and white supremacy still exist and oppress African Americans today. Garvey, etc. Are mentioned but conveniently in the past.

Which is what they want. Emphasize the model people and show that they can be patriots. Downplay what you don’t like. Maybe your definition of education is different but I don’t think it should be about saying we should all be good little flag salutors.

I agree that it’s rage bait, but you can’t trust Florida on this.

Btw the fact that America makes kids pledge an oath to a flag every morning is fucked up, just saying.

It’s interesting, mindfulness and meditation really weren’t that popular, at least in a mainstream way, before smartphones got popular. I feel like a big part of why it blew up was pretty much because people were feeling overwhelmed with modern multitasking and needed an outlet.

It’s been that way since the redesign. Nilay went all in on building it around Twitter and then ElonGate happened, so they kinda backed themselves into a corner. Pretty good coverage of the reddit blackout though.

The rock where they think people can’t tell the difference between a press release and journalism

Ah, ok. So it’s basically the legal equivalent of Macho Man’s cream of the crop promo? Got it

It’s interesting how some people tout Lemmy and Mastodon cross posting, but all it does is confuse me. I like mastodon for short things like news as you said, but when lemmy comments get mixed in I don’t know where to start
