This dude is weird.

> Barges into public conversation

> Refuses to read the room

> Asks why would anyone be against this

> Elaborates by insulting people who are just living their lives

> Refuses to leave, says they won.

But your stupid ass doesn’t wanna read what I HAVE to say! And you have the balls to call me ignorant? Fuck off. Blocked.

Bye, I don’t wanna deal with someone who barges into a conversation, questions everything and nothing at the same time, and then says people talking about it are too confusing until people take hours explaining it.

The TLDR: “I don’t understand the point of this place and since I can’t read, this place sucks.”

Every comment here is “Why do you wanna do that?!” And then it’d explained and they double down or ignore it.

“Trump is a monster and I want someone who has a solid shot at fighting him so we all don’t lose.”

“I’m hearing you want Trump to win.”

My mom wasn’t a alt-right wingnut, thankfully. But she kept me homeschooled despite me asking for regular schooling because she wanted the enabling of abuse. A child who could tell a teacher what she was saying to me was a threat to her. I didn’t go to any schooling beyond some 1st grade, and then she forced me into college when she grew tired of abusing me, until I ran out of support venues and she dragged me back to home.

One homework thing my thought was to just read comic panels from Sunday newspapers archived online. That’s it. I was given old “general knowledge” books but never anything in depth of any study. I had to learn fields from parsing google and Wikipedia, even if she allowed the use of a computer.

I’m sure there’s some legitimate use cases for homeschooling, especially for children who are immune compromised. But I’ve never heard of a happy story of homeschooling, lord knows I’m not one of them. I was held back socially and education wise from my peers, even with my skills.

At the very very least, there should be a way for the state to enforce regular homeschooling standards. Track what grade the kids should be on, how they are doing, and then also economic aid for those who do.

But my personal experience with homeschooling is that it’s never for the betterment of the child, it’s always to enable abuse and submission of the child to the parent. Because new ideas are scary to the parent, and new ideas allow new ways of thinking that the parent didn’t want the child to do.

I’m biased as hell, but when you’re trapped with someone who beats you for a learning disability that would have been accommodated for in a public school that you as a 14 year old asked for, it leaves an impression on you.

My Xiaomi phone for $400 supports up to 1 TB SD cards, so that’s pretty sweet.

Here’s a few things that are cheaper!

• Soulseek/Nicotine+
• Usenet Groups
• Libraries (only if your local one has CDs, and often is popular music and no indie stuff) And if you want some album art: MusicBrainz Picard

If you want it on your phone, SD cards are cheaper than ever for big space. Unless you’re on iPhone.

From the article we’re commenting on:

There is no law requiring AT&T to store decades’ worth of Americans’ call records for law enforcement purposes. Documents reviewed by WIRED show that AT&T officials have attended law enforcement conferences in Texas as recently as 2018 to train police officials on how best to utilize AT&T’s voluntary, albeit revenue-generating, assistance.

And I have voted, I voted for Biden to “not be Trump” and he’s doing okay at that. I’m personally still waiting on protections for queer people, major laws against police brutality, higher minimum wages, healthcare reform, decriminalizing cannabis, codifying Roe v. Wade, or anything else that was planned to win over voters but still don’t have the time to do anything about.

But i guess we have the political capital to:

Violate 26 federal laws to continue building the wall that Trump wanted

Have bipartisan support to enstate a formal dress code because a Senator wore a hoodie

And I don’t recall ever voting to support Israel’s bombing of Palestine, not in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, or any other election year. There isn’t some referendum of “Hey maybe don’t play geopolitical chess that gets hundreds killed” that I can vote on. Joe “Nothing WIll Fundamentally Change” Biden said to Congress in the State of the Union, to a nation filled with people protesting police brutality We need to Fund the Police to a roaring clap from both parties.

Please tell me more to vote harder to stop the genocide of Ukrainians, Palestinians, Yemenis, and everyone other oppressed people. Please tell me to vote harder for milquetoast candidates who pay lip service while they allow fascism to grow openly and easily, because “they need to reach across the isles and compromise”.

I can’t wait until some liberal tells me I should have voted harder for something that is continued endlessly under all forms of politics.

I can’t vote harder to a CEO who has no legal requirements to store this data, but does so anyways.

I can’t vote harder to the police of my area or state, or the FBI.

I can’t vote harder to a president who does not give a shit about any citizens, just “slightly not as racist or as horrible of a rapist, but blue”. Especially when “constitutional lawyer” Obama started the DAS, didn’t do anything when exposed via Snowden but want him arrested for exposing the truth, and Trump and Biden did nothing.
