Those are all fantastic suggestions. In my opinion we absolutely should be taking much more drastic measures to decrease school shootings in the meantime, as nearly everything you suggest would still take at least ~15-20 years to see results. Any dead kid is too many and there are way too many school shootings.

Yes, if they want the privilege of owning a gun they should pay for registration as well. We do the same for cars and those are arguably actually required for a lot of people to work and live.

So what do you think is going to decrease school shootings? What are you proposing or support that will improve the situation?

I’m interested in a banana bread recipe that uses the peels too! I’d honestly never heard of cooking with banana peels before

You have some good points I hadn’t considered before, so thank you for that. It’s definitely something I’ll have to think about more. It’s also worth mentioning that the difference between women who couldn’t find a suitable male partner vs men who couldn’t find a suitable female partner also really isn’t very much - “nearly half” vs “one third”, which was something I also wasn’t really considering when I made my comments. Ultimately it seems like a complicated issue that isn’t going to be fixed with one simple solution

I mean, the point of the article is the women who are struggling to find suitable partners. The attitude that woman should just lower their standards (and yet again just accept higher workloads and lower efforts from their partners) is pretty antifeminist. The problem here isn’t that they have unattainable standards, it’s that a lot of men aren’t putting in effort to meet those basic standards, for whatever reason.

Obviously that part only applies to people who are bisexual/pansexual/gay. I’m not saying that hetero women should just become gay >.< Though I realize it sounds like that, it isn’t what I meant.

The standard doesn’t necessarily apply in reverse if you look at how the work is split between male and female partners in hetero relationships - it’s often skewed that the woman does a lot more emotional work, household work, and childcare, on top of also having full time jobs. I think you’re right though, if men aren’t meeting women’s standards, then women should either be content to be single, hook up with other women (for those who would prefer), or reexamine how important romantic relationships are for them.

That and Egypt also warned Israel that an attack was coming some time before too

I’m kind of split on this one tbh. On one hand I can understand wanting to know the background behind influencers, especially influencers who claim to have knowledge or Expertise in some area. Plus a lot of influencers do already share their name and jobs etc.

On the other hand I think it’s outrageous to force people to dox themselves when they hit a certain number of subscribers. I feel like something like this would result in a lot more targeted harassment, especially for women. It’s already dangerous to be a woman on the internet, no need to add a ton of identifying information on top of that. This may end up adding another barrier to marginalized groups of all kinds.

According to this interview with someone from the Human Rights Watch, it is considered a war crime (if I understand it correctly):

The laws of war require armies to avoid deliberately targeting civilians, and also to avoid attacks that by their nature cannot distinguish between civilians and combatants. In particular, in Gaza, because it’s such a densely populated urban area, when you fire explosive weapons on a massive scale, it’s predictable that civilians will die. It’s predictable that children will die.

Thank you!! Now it works perfectly :)

I just tried libretube but it crashes every time I click on a video :(

It’s such a shame because I used to use newpipe all the time and I absolutely loved that, until it also stopped working

Holy cow, you weren’t kidding!

when a generation habituated to unquestioning adulation enters a labour market in which competition is global “the approval bath stops. The world doesn’t know your name or care who you are.” That’s a shock for a generation used to “years of being coddled in schools without failure and provided unearned rewards and medals for mediocre performance so their feelings wouldn’t be hurt or egos threatened,”

Brooks argues a lack of morality leads to a focus on self rather than the well-being of others. David Foster Wallace agrees: “This is a generation that has an inheritance of absolutely nothing as far as meaningful moral values.” Brooks recommends turning off the screen, which too often acts as a mirror to yourself, and getting involved in the outside world

Wow, that’s actually super interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Someone’s been watching season 4 😂

That’s amazing to hear

I know it’s incredibly disheartening, I just want to let you know that there’s someone out there for you 🧡

What was the demographic of the study? Honestly that 69% of non LGBTQ+ people is surprisingly high imo

Hate to break it to you but star Trek having trans metaphors is not at all new
