@Messinadress1 This argument would work so much better if it weren't for the fact that we've all been through school and have experienced first hand how incompetent most teachers are.

As someone who comes from a family of teachers , 90% of you aren’t smart enough to homeschool your kids and are doing them a serious disservice
Connor Boyack 📚@cboyack
Homeschooling, in a nutshell, is refusing to outsource your child's formation to strangers with a curriculum you didn't choose.

@TopC1989 @reddit_lies It's not a matter of "things I don't like." It's intolerance. They believe that intolerance is so fundamentally sinful that there is no "principle" they claim to hold that they wouldn't sacrifice for the sake of signaling how tolerant they are. This entirely explains the left.

r/BannedBooks celebrates over Amazon banning "Camp of the Saints"
The comments are wild:
"As a librarian that's not actually a book, I would remove it from my library"
"I don't like book bans, but..."
"It's not a book ban because it's a private company"

@ReichlinMelnick If someone says a true fact, and you insist on proclaiming that the fact is racist, without even disputing the fact, then what am I to conclude other than that you want people to be racist?
English
Unvarnished gutter racism akin to what you'd hear out of the mouth of eugenicist Social Darwinists in the early 20th century.

"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking

@theGnawing @QuetzalPhoenix Because "intolerance" is regarded as the ultimate sin. A category beyond morality, in fact. All else is excusable and circumstantial. But intolerance is fundamentally a heresy beyond discussion. It's the foundational religious belief of modern liberal democracy.

There's this weird phenomena where villains are evil but safe. Like a character can commit mass murder and get tumblrified, but they would NEVER be bigoted or cross sexual lines. Cuz THAT would really push them over the edge.

Imagine a scenario where China invades Taiwan, and while the US attempts to react
-a nuclear armed Iran bristling with missiles shuts down the Strait of Hormuz
-Chinese companies in control of the Panama Canal shut it down
-Diego Garcia, the only US base in the Indian Ocean, is gone thanks to the UK
-Venezuela and Cuba activate sleeper cells, the cartels, and cut off shipping in the Gulf of America
-our bases in Greenland are compromised by molasses slow European bureaucracy
And this is all on top of the CCP using critical vulnerabilities in our ports and power grids to shut it all down and cutting off our supply of medicine on top of anything else they may try.
Doesn’t sound like the US would win the Taiwan War, does it?

@lorahmoe Stupid woman. Easily manipulated by propaganda. Virtually guaranteed to be unpleasant to be around. Interactions likely to be unpleasant because she has a narrow and narcissistic perspective on conflict resolution. No empathy but probably thinks she's very empathetic. Avoid.

@IfindRetards She wants it because it's taboo. There's "a barrier", and to the lib mind, all barriers are problematic. She's identified an area where they could be more inclusive, and so she considers it intrinsically valuable to force it to be so. They think inclusion=morality.

This advice seems so bad it must be parody, until you read his followup comments and realize that by "start a startup" he actually means "be Mark Zuckerberg".
Paul Graham@paulg
Don't start a startup in high school. What if it works? You'll lose the opportunity you'd otherwise have to explore random, interesting ideas, driven only by curiosity. Because while you will indeed learn a lot from a startup, you won't have any choice about what you learn.

@SimonFoxWriter @SaulGPowell So you have to be persecuted to deserve a homeland? What sense does that make?

@SaulGPowell The Jews are a persecuted ethnicity. They need a homeland so they can't be pogrommed by insane racists every 5 years.

Nobody knows “calories in” even if they accurately count calories, which most don’t.
“Calories in” isn’t the number of calories you swallow—it is the amount your body absorbs.
If two people swallow identical masses of food, they will likely absorb a different amount of the caloric content.
Likewise, one person can consume two different meals each with the same overall calorie content, but will likely absorb a different proportion of calories from each.
Even in genetically inbred animal strains, individual can display quite a bit of variability in absorption rates to the same food source.

I am truly fatigued by this negative line of dreck about Canada. Yes, we have challenges, more at the moment than usual. But this is a tremendous country, and yes we have a Canadian Dream, the belief that people can come together to build better lives, and in doing so build a better country: fair, decent, and diverse.

@ItIsHoeMath @FischerKing64 Can confirm that I basically never see you on my Following feed. I only see you on For You, even though I follow you. But I don't go to For You as much because it's more slop and bait.

Remember, everything is kill white man
Anybody who says anything that is good for white man will be severely suppressed.
English
I don’t care about the debates re who gets paid on here.
What bothers me is the obvious suppression of some accounts. BAP talks about it - he’s right. Someone has his thumb on the scale inside X - or it’s AI. But if we can’t even talk to our followers this is all pointless.

Preserving a Jewish majority in Israel isn’t the same as preserving a white majority in America.
One emerged from two thousand years of expulsions, pogroms, and genocide. The other did not.
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
A reminder that this guy lives in America where he could never get away with saying that we need to "preserve a Christian majority" or we need to preserve a "white majority" in the US. Ethno-nationalism is bad if you believe in secular liberal democracy. Let's stop pretending.

@roddreher "Groyper-adjacent" is doing A LOT of heavy lifting here.
It looks like you mean "someone who treats the Holocaust like it happened more than 80 years ago on another continent."

Remember my reporting last fall that I had learned on a DC trip that btw 30-40% of Gen Z DC conservatives are Groypers, or Groyper-adjacent? New Antonia Hitchens piece in NYer quotes a TRUMP OFFICIAL saying it's closer to 75%. See below; full story here:

@Chizitere_xyz Remember:
"He's intimidated" = "I'm unlikable"
"He's insecure" = "He has standards"
English
Men are not "intimidated" by your degree, your corporate job, your tax bracket, or your fierce independence. They genuinely do not care about your resume. What modern women call "intimidation" is actually just a man walking away because your combative energy, constant need to argue, and refusal to yield is completely exhausting. You aren't intimidating; you are just insufferable to come home to.
