They prefer mandatory practical training in that regard …

Nah, all schools in my home town are Ursuline schools with the one I went to named after Saint Amandina, who was an Ursuline nun, as she was from the part of town the founders of the school were from.

These nuns have a nack for education and healthcare (a crapton of hospitals here are Amandina founded) and if I recall correctly, even founded some liberal arts schools in the US at some point.

From what I understand from the nuns I’ve been in contact with through the years, they aren’t as bookish as Jesuits, but are 100% behind the idea that “if you teach people the whole picture, they will eventually find God” as the sheer wonder of the universe to them can only mean their deity exists.

Rather than the US Christian way of “indoctrinate to the level of making some people incapable of interacting with a modern society, so they have no choice but to believe whatever we believe”.

Does it happen often, other than by a presidential tier candidate, that one single representative tier politician makes multiple districts flip?

That’s how religious classes went in the Catholic school I went to.

Had a legit Catholic priest as my teacher, he educated us in the history and beliefs of all major and quite a few minor religions (and some extinct ones) and not once told us any one of them was better than the other or we should chose Catholicism over anything else.

It was mostly just History class but rather than “what happened” as the context, “what did people believe”.

I disagree.

Nazi had principles and stood for something. Horrible somethings, but something.

These fucks don’t stand for anything, they want to stir up shit and when money starts talking to them, they are really quick to throw any espoused principles straight out a 5th floor window.

Don’t fret. Discovering good music from before your own generation tends to happen in people’s 30’s and later. They start feeling detached from the “new” music, so start discovering music people from all generations loved and they will discover plenty of older music they then come to love.

Do have to say that the current gen especially is more detached from the music of their parents than Millenials and older were, because often they had internet and their own phones on which they listened to their own music, rather than growing up often hearing their parents music.

My mom was in a rock cover band that covered the 60’s-80’s and my dad was in both a brass band and orchestra, through them I got in touch with classic rock and the roots of metal pretty early on and learned my fair share of classical music.

My sisters kids have no clue about any music but what they share with their peers.

She’s an open white nationalist.

How is her being racist any sort of surprise or questioned?

It’s all about “state rights” until it’s other states with different politics.

They get cheap oil, cheap gas, cheap minerals, cheap everything out of Russia.

They don’t care Putin wins or loses, they do care about getting all that cheap loot.

All of Europe is an Ally.

This perk is pretty much reserved for Israel and Israel only.

O SU WA RI!

You need both.

Some people won’t ever hear anything about the issues until they see some weird kid do these stunts or see that someone their age can have a word in the discussion too.

Others are more likely to pay attention to scientists, the type that read more intellectual literature.

And then there’s those who won’t ever change their mind because they’ve been spoonfed corporate propaganda and thanks to religion and just generally being dumbasses, are perfectly primed to be managed in this way.

Even in porn I haven’t seen anyone take so many loads with that much gusto as the Republican, NRA and everything related to the right wing has for the past several decades.

The chokehold Israeli Intelligence / Propaganda wing has on reddits worldnews subreddit is freakin depressing (and scary in how total it is).

Post anything even remotely critical to anything Israel did and within minutes you’ll have a dozen downvotes and people outright warping reality in their response to you, all on relatively recent accounts that only ever respond to posts related to Israel. They aren’t subtle about it in the slightest.

And stories like them murdering foreign aid workers on purpose just get magicked away.

The discussion was already had

I tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it.

I’m the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube,

I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either.

So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon.

And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I’m not impressed by what I’ve seen, at all.

Well, TikTok can’t get any worse, right?

Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.

If it went to court, this would’ve been much much higher.

He’s over leveraged to extremes and even his tangible assets, like hotels and resorts, probably aren’t worth enough to cover the 400M package if, if sold.

His “I’m a billionaire” shtick was always ethereal at best and a straight up lie to boost the perception of his net worth at minimum.

The bizarre thing with Trump isn’t finding out he’s far from as wealthy as he and his family like people to believe, but that he’s always been able to sucker some new money source into covering his debts with the banks.

It’s incredible how weird their racism has gotten.

They were openly racist before.

Now they reverted to some weird form of ignorant racism.

Black people vote for us because of golden shoes.
Black people vote for us because we’re criminals.
