I grew up in western public education, and I definitely learned poor treatment of indigenous, the varying ideologies, and ways of life that exist in the world, as well as the pre-cursors to western democracy. I’m not unique in this.

In no way, shape, or form is what you’re saying the reality in most of North America, for quite a long time.

The caveat being, the southern states do have what you’re talking about at a systemic level, but the ideas you’re expressing being the norm in the majority of North America (the rest of the states, and Canada), haven’t been the case for the past 40-50 years.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t deep systemic issues within our education system with the factors you bring up (indigenous peoples, democracy, and our “place” internationally, etc), it’s just far more nuanced than whatever bullshit you’re trying to sell.

So tired of seeing your rhetoric on here, dude…what’s the deal?

I’m confused. Do you have to go to bed after bedtime fun?

What… If you think China supports it’s citizens and cooperates with the international community any better than the United States, and doesn’t have a colonialist agenda, you’re either speaking in bad faith or just terribly ignorant. We can sit here all day with whataboutisms, and comparison, but the truth is China is no more suited and, AT LEAST, just as ill intentioned.

that’s not the point. there have been several major incidents that have proven information in general (on both sides) have been inconsistent. That’s why I suggest (since we all unanimously agree) this needs to stop and a cease-fire needs to happen asap, so we can begin the process of truly undersrabding the reality.

The UN is not unbiased or immune to misunderstanding in their reports, nor is reuters, or any other source at this point in time. We’ve seen this truth on several occasions. When there’s two vasty opposed ans biased ministries providing pretty much the only sources of information, it’s just bad practice to come to any solid conclusions. Where else in your life would you do this?

I want to qualify this with - we know what israel and the idf are doing is terribly wrong, and under no stretch of the imagination, can their actions be justified.

So, now that that’s clear - the palestinian health authority is directly controlled by HAMAS, and aljazeera is biased in the conflict, due to their relation and ownership.

We cannot trust any information and media reports coming from any source, doing so is a fools errend, and every argument follows this same cycle of futility for this reason.

What we can do, is call for an immediate cease fire and somehow band together internationally to demand an independent tribunal investigate. It may sound like a pipe-dream, but given the reality of this situation, it’s quite literally the only way…

i feel like if we applied this logic to most things, the world would be a better place…

I’m no where near a pro…intermediate at best. I generally climb v-grades around 7-8. I know this feeling you’re talking about very much. Sometimes I revisit where I was, and where I’m at, and what once felt impossible to even imagine now just feels intuitive (of course it’s all relative, as anyone climbing v10 and above look like magicians to me). It sort of just happens naturally through practice and experience. Learning a skill is so wonderful!

So actually there are many cars that are nearly or just as safe as SUVs and have similar storage capacity. These arguments are often used by industry but don’t really hold any weight

it’s as if you think the alternative is businesses being like “alright boys, suburbs are on the menu”.

of course there’ll be regulation, mixed use zoning doesn’t mean chaos.

yo. let me clean mine out i’ll get back to you, about to go for a climbing session rn

i needed this today. thanks

i’m facing this dilemma right now. We require a library that hasn’t been updated in two years with a maintainer/developer that’s no where to be seen. But it’s really the only solution aside from building something from scratch or forking. This is for an enterprise level peice of software/spaghetti from a top 3 company in the industry…and super normal to see happen regularly.
