@jdmarr96@gavinmuellerphd@JaneKaneDeLane 100% If you have no real world experience to base your life off of and relate to the often times complex themes of classic literature, its worse then reading something more relatable. And teaching faculty don't help the experience gap, there's nothing they can do.
@LudditeHacker It's definitely lacking. Religion, bars, sports, politics all provide community. But all of these things are pretty divisive. The country is massive though so it's pretty hard to be connected when everyone is far as fuck apart. Local community should thrive in economic hardship
@kmcgraw213@nypost Exactly, life always has a way of giving us sufficient danger no matter how hard we try to make our lives safer. Pesticides have allowed us grow the human population, giving more people a chance at life... But also allowing more people to die in horrible ways and be neglected.
@kmcgraw213@nypost The pesticides allow them to be produced in mass scale. I mean they are there for a reason, to produce high yields/without defections. We would need to move significant areas of the economy back to agrarian sectors to match the same output. No easy solution
@nubz0rzx@eye_beat@TheOmniLiberal Yeah. Just like in every field in every industry that will ever exist, people start out at 0. Joe schmoe really can pick up a screwdriver, listen to his journeyman and make a career out of starting from 0. College does literally the same thing.
@ScottMStedman No, of course not. I guess we will have to wait for criminal proceedings. @ericswalwell I hope you can come out in a public setting, face the allegations and hope by god justice will prevail.
@ScottMStedman I don't wanna discredit the work of the San Francisco Chronicle... But the article leads me (the reader) to believe this woman has been in and remained in some level of contact with Swalwell before and after all the events of this story took place.
@jockowillink Standards evolve... And reading/writing/translating fluent Greek and Latin would bar a lot of people from pursuing the institution. There is certainly more relevant source material from the 300 or so years since this comment was made.
@GasBuddyGuy How is it gonna start reversing if 1: Ships are still in the Persian Gulf, sitting. 2: infrastructure destroyed, years to rebuild. 3: Fear all across the board and highly volatile actors across the board. 4: A ceasefire that is pursuant of maximalist demands. 5: Tolls in hormuz
