Yeah, the next nut bags are already lining up.

The only silver lining about Trump is that he's done after 4 years (supposedly). I hate this timeline.

My father-in-law always grunts "socialism something something" whenever I mention supporting a universal healthcare system. Of course, he does that while being on Medicare.

Short-term solutions are hard. In past work, I’ve proposed solutions to men’s compensatory anger and aggression at both the individual and societal levels. For example, I believe that it’s important for adults, such as parents, clinicians and teachers, to resist the urge to put undue pressures on boys, as well as to equip boys with the tools they need to resist such pressure. At a broader level, it’s important to promote gender diversity in positions of leadership and power, so that boys learn that people of all genders—not just men—share the responsibility for providing and protecting. If we can target the mechanisms underlying the pressure that boys and men experience, we should be able to mitigate the anger and aggression they exhibit to prove their manhood.

Well, a lot of the families of these young men are also deeply involved in the evangelical community that teach that these pressures are not only societal, they are God-given and healthy. They learn that if they don't adopt this type of masculinity, they are going against the biblical version of the man. They might not even make it to heaven. They'll be burning in eternal fire. And if your parents and your church and your day-to-day leaders keep pushing this, it's no surprise that they end up voting for the toxic masculinity Trump represents.

But, assuming that this is in the US, one of the major parties relies on keeping people uneducated, so they don't want people to pursue higher education. And certainly do not support cancelling student debt.

My thought is that you should find a different class with a different teacher.

I don't think it's fair. A billionaire only needs one pillow like everyone else. And there are a lot of people starving in this world.

Dude, the US based social media platforms are no better than TikTok. Its all rotten to the core. X is a great example of this.

Lol. Yeah, that's not what French food is, but ok.

I like French food better. But it doesn't really matter. Taste in food is highly subjective.

I love pizza, but there's a lot of food that's better, imo.

I would feel so uncomfortable at 26C inside. 21 at most for me.

 

I've also seen US teachers spending hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to stock classrooms.

I spent a lot of time in European schools and I've never heard of teachers having to stock their own classrooms or fundraise for things like playgrounds, etc.
