    I respect first responders.

    I’d argue this to be the case. Anyone willing to put themselves in harms way just for a job is worthy of respect And perhaps a little sympathy, as the case may be lol

    I respect first responders.

    I respect first responders (and I typically include ambulance workers and firefighters when I say this) insofar as they have made a conscious decision to be in a profession that is inherently dangerous. Both physically and mentally. I think that decision is worthy of some semblance of respect...

    Evidence means nothing with certain things

    *Raises hand sheepishly* I have a literal arsenal of gods and goddesses. I’m a born and raised Hindu. I also don’t reject Science, I embrace it. To wallow in ignorance is considered an insult to God in my community of spiritually inclined people :shrug:

    Meteorologists harassed and threatened by conspiracy theory kooks.

    Is it bad that I actively seek out this kind of thing for entertainment? Like one of the (admittedly very leftist) streamers I watch has a weekly segment of their daily streams dedicated to conspiracy theorist content. Affectionately dubbed Tinfoil Tuesday. The show even comes with a form of...

    Woke and DEI - good intentions, so-so, dogmatic solutions

    Mate, I come from a country just as blunt. Where the C word is used as a term of endearment I doubt you’ll find that much support for that DeSantis here though So that’s certainly no excuse

    Gay, Trans, Race, Books, etc

    I’m a little curious about what legal standards the UK (and indeed my own country’s) media has compared to the US. Apart from the standardised forecast I mean. Since that’s just bluntly stating the stories that happened lol Because I don’t know. I often hear about how lax US standards are...

    Gay, Trans, Race, Books, etc

    To be completely honest. I remember hearing about such controversy in my country (Australia) back in the 90s -2000s but it has seemingly gone away by now. Mind you, we have our own unique issues when it comes to race relations specifically. It did come up a bit just after 9/11. With tensions...

    Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

    Well I like to give the benefit of the doubt. I will say though. I recall having a conversation about this exact topic years ago. I was probably just out of high school. Maybe at the end of my time there. Either way The other person was from America. As a joke I quoted one of my old high school...

    Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

    You can link to the texts, though. Surely? Or at least tell me the books that contain these grooming messages? I just wish to cross reference and see for myself. Because the memes are awfully vague.

    Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

    Out of curiosity, could you cite specifically this text that contains grooming material?

    NAACP issues travel advisory for Florida...

    That, I think, has caused many a video or paper essay from Marvel nerds trying to analyse that in depth lol

    Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

    Oh really? Wow I had a friend from Primary (Elementary) School with parents like that. Didn’t exactly work out though. Let’s just say, my friend was very adept at convincing her mother she was following the rules and she broke most of them before lunchtime. Kind of impressive in hindsight, ngl.

    Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

    My bad I was making a jab at some elements of the “they’re pushing the gays on kids” criticism becoming a long running gag among various communities. Ie going down in history For example Batman and Robin promoting homosexuality is a long running joke among the DC fandom. Spanning generations...

    Australian Cops In The News

    Apparently the copper has been suspended (unfortunately with pay) but is otherwise being charged with grievous bodily harm and assault among other charges I’m not sure how long the pay will continue, it’s probably just standard procedure during inquiry. But whatever I hope they throw the book...

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    Ahh I see. Informative frubal Sounds somewhat similar to our system. Though I suppose we have our own bugs to deal with lol

    NAACP issues travel advisory for Florida...

    Yes! Exactly!!! All these accusations of Marvel and DC “going woke.” Like they’ve always been woke! Marvel literally had a section called Stan’s Soapbox, if I recall. How much more in your face do you want? Lol And like you said X-Men’s allusions to HIV/AIDS. Even the movies acknowledged that...

    School board meeting in North Carolina about a book

    Interesting Though I find social media rife with overly emotional responses. Myself included. So I try not to judge based on the comment section of anything lol

    NAACP issues travel advisory for Florida...

    Oh I agree. I would wager that Marvel agrees too. And DC lol Given there quite a few issues where the Punisher quite literally goes up to a bunch of police who have painted his logo onto their equipment and loudly berates them for stopping to his level. Even smashing up their equipment. He...

    School board meeting in North Carolina about a book

    Ahh fair enough Perhaps her enthusiasm is making her misspeak? (If I were to give her the benefit of the doubt.) Otherwise that is indeed disturbing That said, I do know that children do tend to experiment somewhat. Not saying I like that that happens, obviously. But it’s actually a well...
