@AliceFromQueens I am perplexed by the amount of effort people will put in to convince other and themselves that they are an unbiased parser of facts and data without an “agenda” or “team”
@jmrphy This is the same problem present in all forms and types of education
On a societal scale this “problem” is quite literally the point of education
What TYPE of mindless cattle do you want to be surrounded by? CRT school marm globo homo demons or DissidentStatue larpers?
@miltonappl3 You are young on your journey
One’s energy must be first committed and attentive to the intent of contact before you can have a standard stance and back swing
@jmrphy@johnddavidson I would’ve never thought the 22 year old man merely assaulted the 12 year old girl from how this was initially covered - I’ll be much less hasty to rush to judgment during the next assault, thanks Justin!
@miltonappl3 There are options for the glass but they’re more expensive
Ask the estimator for a glass/coating with a higher VT%
you can also ask if they offer low iron glass. Gives a truer light by removing the green tint from natural float glass but comes at a ~30% premium
@noon_ta_noeta information in itself not being sufficient to produce knowledge is obviously true
My contention is that a teacher is not necessary to move from the former state to the later. This is an absurd notion
@AncPhi If your epistemology requires a teacher to act as intermediary between knowledge and a seeker of knowledge, I would argue that makes the teacher very significant. Equally significant, in fact, to the only way the first teacher would have received knowledge himself: revelation
the “universal value of human life” is a concept similar to “high trust society” or “a jury of your peers”
Unfortunately, many Valuable Human Lives would rather choose selfish expediency over pro-social abstract principles with long term payoff
How can we alter the balance?
If you can find an example of a more evil thing on this platform than a man announcing his plan to murder his child for being disabled, go ahead and post it. I can’t think of one.
@0x49fa98 I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but it’s obvious he’s a week away from “I smoked crack and even I think (RW policy) is crazy!!”
Literally any form of real discipline creates “emotional distance” between you and your child. There are degrees of severity with every form of real discipline and great parents figure out how to administer this discipline as infrequently as possible. childless take
Hitting your kids is in the same category as circumcision, iPads, strict adherence to the CDC vaccine schedule---it is for Ns, goyim, and walmart pajama people. It lowers IQ (Straus, 1995), increases aggression (Gershoff, 2016), is less effective than a timeout, and requires escalation to keep working. The replies to articles like this are filled up with the Dumbest People Who Ever Existed saying "it worked for me" and then genuinely malicious and hateful morons dropping reaction gifs of like daffy duck swinging a belt
"EVERY STATE IN AMERICA ALLOWS YOU TO PHYSICALLY CORRECT YOUR CHILD. It's legal. It's fun. Bring it on." -- profile says: Cat Sanctuary Dad. Unyielding steel. Workouts, keto, cat chaos, anime rants. Godzilla, Gundam, Mazinger, Ultraman, classical art, manga.
If you hit your kids, you will create permanent emotional distance with the only person/people you could ever be that close to, not to mention sending them down the road of being as much of a lost fuckup loser as you are who will hit their own kids, or wont, but only after spending a decade figuring out why they reflexively apologize all the time.
My father was a mid tier specialty contracting foreman and it bought him a double wide prefab in a nice community for $97k in the 90’s
Today it costs $500k
Working the same job you’d be lucky to qualify for a $250k mortgage, and forget the used trucks with cheap maintenance
It’s like they think we were exaggerating.
We raised ourselves, with the occasional ass whupping thrown in when we really fucked up.
That’s why we think you’re all pussies.
@AncPhi@Athens_Stranger@michaeljknowles Clearly you have some aversion of taste to what was written (who wouldn’t?)
It’s also clear that rather than Aristotle, it is Narcissus who would gaze fondly at your thought
