My thoughts as well. They should require a religions of the world class. That'll really get the atheist agenda cookin'.
Oh wow, didn't realize it was cool now. Where do I collect on all this coolness?
Oh no they don't. They believe in the literal devil and you can be sure they haven't done five minutes of research.
A cool org like the Satanic Temple will ask that their own seven tenants be displayed as well.
This will cause the Christian right to lose their minds. Who could have ever seen this coming? They will say that it will corrupt the children. They will not let the tenants be posted. Raging mobs of Concerned Christian Parents will yell at their school boards.
Cue lawsuits from the Satanic Temple.
Suddenly and quietly, the lawmakers realize that they haven't yet broken the courts completely and they'll roll back the ten commandments requirement. From the side of their mouths, they'll blame the evil, godless liberals for the downfall of the US. You see, it'd all be milk and honey if we didn't ban Jesus (you probably haven't heard of him, right?) from the children.
It's the same song and dance every fucking time. Please donate to the Satanic Temple and/or the ACLU so they can continue to push back against this bullshit.
Body double--sit nearby when she's trying to study and work on something similar.
Or, make it a game or competition.
Are you kidding? There's a whole "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO" segment of the US population that cries until they die of dehydration every time the government says "regulation" three times in a mirror.
Ok, I thought I covered things like schizophrenia, where people can't always manage their treatment due to the nature of the disorder, when I listed illness, but I can see how that'd get missed.
And you're right, I neglected to highlight the stigma of pursuing help for pedophilia. I guess I'm being idealist about the ethics of therapists and when they disclose or report.
I don't see our views as conflicting. Not sure why you see it that way.
I have unhealthy urges due to acute anxiety. If untreated, it can absolutely mean I'm behaving in ways that harm me and those around me. Since I care about others and my own well-being, I go to therapy and take medication.
I don't like it when mentally ill adults*, who don't care enough to pursue treatment, get let off the hook. He knows that he's trading these kids' futures for his own gratification and he doesn't care. Not all PDFs are like this--but this motherfucker is and therefore gets no sympathy from me.
*This doesn't include people who have illness, delusions, or lack of resources, preventing them from getting regular treatment.
PSA: Stock Android phones, since... maybe Android 12.x or so(?), have a Lockdown mode in the power button shortcut menu that disables bio unlocks and forces pin or password.
As long as they add Doom as well.
I know it's a platitude, and so does everyone else, but it's important when you think about what it means when there is no apology or acknowledgement of harm done.
It's a good first step, that hopefully leads to more, but at least stops gaslighting everyone's reality.
It's wild to me considering organizations are more aware of web accessibility than ever.
Yes, let's all give up on labor rights if at any point the only reasonable option is to buy from a corporation.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the concept of whataboutism so you can at least make logical arguments on your hot takes.
Also, the BuzzKill app does this and it's beautiful with Material design.
I think that one of the greatest things about the Constitution, the idea that it's dynamic, has been lost to the result of FPTP--this two-party lock that won't allow for any amendments. We now treat the document like a religious text instead of a tool we can and should update to be relevant and responsive when absolutely necessary.
But go off about how much I hate this country or whatever. I'm clearly very apathetic about its vision.
Pretty sure actual surveillance organizations don't need a known Android service to locate you and track what you're doing.
If I ever become famous, I hope it's for a quote with context as great as this.
Across the country, states require more training to prepare students and teachers for mass shootings than for those expected to protect them. The differences were clear in Uvalde, where children and officers waited on opposite sides of the door.
