I don’t know anything about this lady, but from what I’ve read, she’s not the problem. MrBeast is.

So many people here who have spent months bitching about Biden being the candidate can’t take five minutes to enjoy him stepping down from the election.

You got what you wanted.

In a reversal, Georgia now says districts can use state funding to teach AP Black studies classes (apnews.com)

Georgia state Superintendent Richard Woods said Wednesday that the state will pay for districts to teach a new Advanced Placement course in African American Studies, a day after he said districts could only teach the course using local funds....

By design.

Because all of their outrage is manufactured.

There should have been no controversy about Terry Schiavo save an internal family one, but Republicans found an issue which would make their base froth at the mouth and they know that their base doesn’t care about consistency, they just want to be mad about something.

True about Franklin.

Yep. They want to know how the Bible influenced Western culture. So I assume that they will be covering everything from witch burnings to Father Coughlin supporting Hitler on national radio.

Don’t teach it as anything to fucking fifth graders though. That is just not appropriate at that reading level.

But apparently it is in Oklahoma now.

I would say nearing the end of high school at the earliest if you want to be able to teach the Bible as literature. It might even not be grade school appropriate at all and should just be taught on the college level.

After all, unless you’re teaching it dishonestly, you’ll want to cover translation issues, which would require a lot of reading and analysis.

Perfect photo op time! Where’s a Bible? How do we get Trump back to that church?

I have to drive through a little tiny town with a handful of places for businesses (we’re talking like 5) on the way between the town where I live and the town where my mother lives and a counselor’s office just opened there. That explains why.

When you can’t even be elected president until you’re 35, I don’t think 60 is a terrible age.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Cognitive decline can begin as early as age 45. The youngest you can be to be elected president is 35. Should we only have a 10-year window in which people should run?

JPMorgan Strategist Who Predicted Biden Withdrawal Has Gloomy Outlook For EV Sector, Ukraine War (www.ibtimes.co.uk)

JPMorgan Asset Management strategist Michael Cembalest had previously predicted that President Joe Biden would drop out from this year’s presidential race in his list of “top 10 possible surprises for 2024” published in the company’s Jan. 1 “Eye on the Market Outlook” report.

Also, people just aren’t buying new cars in general, and a used EV is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new one.

Dude, I had to pick a mass murderer that fought another mass murderer and I picked one. I’m sorry I didn’t pick the specific mass murderer who fought another mass murderer you wanted me to pick out of the ones I could have picked.

It doesn’t change the fact that using child soldiers does not make you the good guys. Quite the opposite.

I don’t mean legal obligation.

Are you justifying the use of child soldiers?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If you don’t think there’s an obligation, even if it’s not a legal one, to provide their information so the public can judge their actions, I don’t know what to tell you.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

There is no moral quandary here. Either using child soldiers makes a group bad or not. Killing children is either a bad thing or it isn’t.

You just told me saving one life in the holocaust wasn’t worth it. Is saving one Palestinian life worth it? Is one Palestinian life in 2024 worth more than one Jewish life in 1939?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

There is no context in which “more dead people is not a worse outcome” is a moral answer.

And the context in which you said that saving one life during the Holocaust didn’t matter?

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/69257466-a039-469c-8da7-e89d6ba0038b.png

I’d say most people here would be absolutely willing to save a single person’s life from genocide.

Using your analogy, you’re the one saying 6 million deaths is acceptable

That is not what I am saying at all. If you’re going to accuse me of intentionally misrepresenting what you’re saying, don’t do it to me.

How did you even come close to getting that from what I said?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I am neither. I am telling you that there are no “few bad apples” to get out of the police because the whole thing is already rotten to the core and has been for a very long time since there’s never been reformation, just a few laws to stop some of the most egregious behavior.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, I said the civil rights laws exist, making the most egregious behavior harder to get away with.

I’d tell you to ask George Floyd if things have gotten better. Or Breonna Taylor. Or Philando Castile. Or Sonya Massey. Except none of them can tell you anymore.

There are no “good apple” cops. None.

You’re showing how they’re all bad apples and you don’t even realize it.
