Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. What North Korea calls their own country.

Thanks. I was literally coming to ask this.

Imagine living where queer people are in your top 1000 life problems.

Where the government run labour camp for Marxist man to overcome cumming?

I like to think that things are a lot better now, because I never see this. But who knows. I also don’t know that the school system culture is like in your area.

The worst-worst I’ve seen now is a male teacher asking too personal questions. Still bad, but not anywhere near the level of having a relationship with them.

This was a problem back in the day. Like “we just started dating after she graduated”. Nowadays it’s a big no no, it’s just assume that the teacher, at best was grooming her when she was in his care.

If you listen to really old teachers and staffroom gossip, that shit was really common and even accepted 30+ years ago. Like teachers would marry their former students.

This is 100% hearsay, so don’t @ me if it’s bullshit.

Lonnnnnnng time ago there was a teacher I worked with, and he hooked up with a student. She was 18, so it was “legal”, although he did get sacked. Laws and norms have changed a lot in the past 20+ years, nowadays he would probably face more legal consequences.

I’m randomly look at his LinkedIn once in a while. Nowadays he’s only teaching adults, despite having credentials to teach kids. I’m assuming that you can’t go into a school after that.

Just need to make “Falling Rate of Profit” bigger

Feck my effort comment didn’t post.

Tldr: meta analysis get peer reviewed like any sort of study.

I need to scream over and over. The Cass Review is not peer reviewed. Scientifically, it’s a blog paid for by NHS.

Basically this. It was enjoyable. Just don’t have Dune level expectations.

Starmer was literally knighted by the queen, but somehow he’s the “man of the people”.

I’m seeing a lot more Israelis around here than I ever have in my life. (no I’m not in Ukraine). I just imagine that heaps of Israelis want to get the fuck out now.

You’re 100% correct. I still use Twitter because it’s safer at work than hexbear, and I have a well cultivated walled garden of Marxists and COVID safe people. The BlueBlocker extension makes things much more tolerable.

I’m sure I’ll be at the same place that you are in soon. I’ve already left and Facebook.

I’ve been playing both Oxygen Not Included and Celeste regularly.

To try to make things more positive, people have much much better opinions the farther away they are from power. I spend so little of my time with white people, and I do like the company I keep. I do have a handful of white friends, but they’re the exception.
