new ideology dropped
  • Some pop singer wrote an album about how hard it is to be looked at. She called it brat. She then texted that Kamala is brat, and media ran with it.

    That's enough context to decide if you want to explore further.

  • Dont read the comments, please.
  • The holocaust wasn't just defined by degree, it was also defined by callous dehumanization.

    Right now, Israeli political leaders are arguing that their soldiers didn't commit rape because only humans can be raped. That, to most people, is a Nazi level of dehumanization. Additionally, The imposed famine and the destruction of water infrastructure and hospitals will cause mass death that puts this in the ballpark of, but not exactly equalling, the holocaust.

    Of course current events don't mirror Nazi Germany exactly- but the suffering and death evoke the Holocaust. It's a historical horror. If you don't find the comparison helpful, that's a valid opinion, but I think calling it denial is unfounded.

    What's the easiest song or melody someone with not experience can play on an acoustic guitar?
  • That decision comes years or decades after practice and learning, which people do because A) they find just noodling on the instrument fun, and/or b) they find improving their skill deeply rewarding, and/or c) they think guitar/music is just really cool.

    A bad instrument can make the experience miserable, though. My first acoustic was fucking awful, just straight trash. How long does yours stay in tune?

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • I work at a plant that uses one of those alternative flocculants (due to our source water chemistry). Our logistics are incredibly shaky at the best of times, due to the extremely limited number of producers.

  • Alternative methods of disciplining children.
  • "Natural consequences" is the buzzword. Make sure the consequences fit the action. You squirted most the toothpaste into the aink? You don't get access to toothpaste, and mom/dad have to do your toothbrush.

    This works with my kid because they value their autonomy very highly. Your child may value things differently.

    Something to keep in mind: the goal isn't to be a high-discipline parent, it's to be a consistent parent. Express expectations and consequences, then hold to them. This helps children feel secure, and dramatically reduces testing behaviors (not to zero but much lower).

  • Stop trying to turn Dungeons & Dragons into a Marvel-esque cash cow – it won’t work
  • They tried to make Magic the Gathering into some kind of big brand with characters and merch and corporate fuckery- they drove people away, myself and my friends included.

    I don't see this going much better.

    Have they sicced the pinkertons on anyone yet? Maybe a negative reviewer?

  • knowledge should be free

    But college textbooks are absurdly expensive. Can anyone point me to some options for digital textbooks that don't have stupid drm?
