  But that’s never what school was for. Genuinely. We’re gradually trying to retcon it into that, but a classroom is simply not how you take a chaotic toddler and produce a teenager who’s engaged in the world and desires to learn about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the USA have gifted schools or was Spider-Man Homecoming lying?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t only learn in school. Fuck, I didn’t even go to school. Children’s lives are entirely different than they were when I was a child, it’s a holistic issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The price of soda in 2017⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Scientific misconduct and regulatory interference by the Coca-Cola corporation has resulted in the loss of many millions of years of human life. It isn’t just that they happen to sell a product that has sugar in it. They have calculatingly committed grave crimes for trivial reasons, and no one seems to give a fuck or somehow even to know about it.

  undo 20 years of climate action

  so we’ll get back 20 years biodiversity, wild population, and habitat losses? glaciers will get 20 years thicker? our absolute emissions will fall?

  Nobody is coming for your soda. Put down the baseball bat.

  WTF? You call people noncontributing lurkers all the time. It’s your fucking go-to move whenever anyone points out how shitty your behaviour is. You are a parody of yourself.

  He wants to feel like he has value to people. This charade allows him to convince himself that he does.

  I know you get a feeling of accomplishment from sucking down an RSS feed and puking it on another network, but no, you are not.

  if it makes you leave i will fuck anything you want

  Fuck off sanitation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires hate democracy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bullshit. Democracies are more vulnerable to outside influence than most other governments. Billionaires love democracy. Especially small democracies like Canada where it is so cheap and easy to capture regulatory offices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The System does not work.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  An octopus has hundreds of thousands of children, with perhaps only a few expected to reach adulthood.

  Billionaires have us.

  I googled “little face” “dick tracy” on ddg image search and I got a face full of hardcore porn. Fuck it, imagine a meme here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centrists have such a Hard Choice.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They are in American political discourse. They are so radical they are completely off the table.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Housing prices⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t just keep building out horizontally; it reduces intensity without reducing costs, eventually becoming unsustainable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw you peasants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fucking Brexit.

  We DIDN’T swing massively fascist despite the Skull and Bones crowd doing their best to wag the dog

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Only boomers can use this bench. Meanwhile, they're trying to get rid of their own property taxes.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We got gay marriage, can you edit that into your revisionist history

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future we wanted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s so subjective. I happen to think brutalism is very pleasing and I like function (especially architectural function but also other infrastructure) to be exposed or even featured; most people prefer facades and concealed function.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza Party and Casual Fridays⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We all belong to dozens of different overlapping classes when considered through different paradigms. My point here was that talking about the “middle class” as though it had a place in political class theory is confusing categories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza Party and Casual Fridays⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re totally missing my point so I’ll just simplify it to: “middle class” isn’t a real thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires used to build libraries and hospital wings, now they just buy politicians.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires used to build libraries and hospital wings, now they just buy politicians.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We should have a rule where you don’t get to talk tough until you have actual blood on your hands. It is so fucking tedious to have to read your coping, identical to that of an army of impotent keyboard warriors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires used to build libraries and hospital wings, now they just buy politicians.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wealth redistribution, American style

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza Party and Casual Fridays⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Middle class” refers to your social status and contrasts with “upper class” and “lower class.” It’s about how we perceive and treat each other on a social level. It does not refer to your Marxian class under capitalism. There is nothing between the ruling class and the working class.

  Wait, why wasn’t the manager on the IRC server with the rest of us?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thoughts and prayers for science⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Prayer heals disease by editing history. Of course you’re not aware of all the diseases it has cured!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was not the question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is negative voltage?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Voltage is like air or water pressure, and there is an ambient pressure in a system (like the atmospheric pressure) that we arbitrarily call zero. Negative () voltage would mean that there is enough voltage/pressure to force electrons to be emitted to ground (ie the ambient pressure) and positive () voltage would mean that electrons can be accepted by ground.

  *) Negative and positive are a bit confusing because we originally assumed the force carrying particle was positive, but the electron turned out to be negative; there were some historical quirks as a consequence and some things are backwards from what you would anticipate, and sometimes I get them wrong.

  It’s a bit better today, I can actually see the sun as a dim red disc in the sky.
