I have family working in Special Education, most of them with kids under 12, some through early adulthood. All your points are correct. But from what I know of US Education, most schools - or schools in certain states - will not receive appropriate support and the students will ultimately be hurt for it. Think of the implementation of Common Core in the mid 2010s.

Students with proper support and encouragement can accomplish amazing feats, but most students don’t have the resources to do that on their own (or with limited support and instruction.)

Just because these countries are much more walkable than other countries doesn’t mean they don’t have a massive car culture.

Germany and cars are the equivalent of Americans and guns. And Poland has a growing car culture that definitely gets overlooked

Yeah that’s definitely the wrong way

That’s very similar to what I meant lol. Not sure why everyone assumes it’s bad to do. Like with a lot of things, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Seriously. Sex is already dirty, help your partner by maintaining your hygiene. But seriously wash any raw meat you buy or butcher, and be careful of who cooks your food.

Edit: People assuming I don’t keep a clean kitchen and that I wash raw meat under a running faucet.

Think of the children [of the oil executives]!!!

I feel like the meme would be better without the comment

I am not an Officer of the Law. I hold police to higher standards than I do regular people because of their training. I really don’t know what to tell you.

I’m not pissed off, though? I just know police in Germany train for much longer than in the US and in other countries. So, even if I had context that the woman punched an officer, for example, I still think it’s police brutality for the officer to punch her.

There are more efficient ways to de-escalate or to subdue than to punch someone, especially since there were multiple officers with armor equipped.

I mentioned nothing about fascism. I agree context matters, especially involving police escalations. But I also believe that there is a line police should not cross, especially when they train for years.

In Germany, police are held to a high standard because their education is comparatively rigorous. That was not crowd control or de-escalation, it was police brutality. What preceded this is not entirely relevant to the officer’s action.

Nah, because chest compressions in rhythm are the best thing until medical professionals arrive. The degree to which the straws / shields help is minimal at best and actually detrimental at worst.

Also, anyone reading this should get certified. In the US, it takes a couples hours in one day and lasts a year.

Yeah, never heard them called mud bees. Only ever heard them as dirt / mud daubers, and they’re very obviously wasps.

They don’t hurt as much as you’d think, but you’ll still feel it for a day or two

Ah fuck the movie was a little different than I remember

I see this behavior everywhere on the internet, and I truly believe people become like this the more chronically online they are - whether they realize it or not.

Literally the evolutionary equivalent of “eh, good enough”

Lather and rinse? Buddy you can’t make me do nothing, you’re affecting my free speech

Not quite, Royal Guards typically know what they were getting into - it’s a little more involved than just joining the military and being tricked into the position.

No, no, we do don’t this here. This is bait and it is intentionally misleading. If you want rational discussions, don’t present arguments in bad faith.

We need to implement the implement Wind Towers in the dry climates of the US. They wouldn’t help as a pedestrian, but they help to expel heat in buildings when it isn’t windy and to actively cool buildings when it is windy. This single piece of technology could desperately help the American Southwest.

Combine these with tighter buildings and local plant-life and people will be much better off.
