Just be excellent to one another. No matter whether or not Marcus Aurelius actually said this, this quote helped me a lot when I was younger, emphasis on the first two lines:
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
This is most of the reason why I keep my opinion to myself every time I see his name crop up every day but I think that he is specifically a horrible person to represent the movement and a good example of just how impossible it is to maintain quality the larger your target audience is.
Most people have awful taste. I can remember being a gooberish little Berniebro about 10 years ago when nepo hire Piker was just starting to produce for TYT. He was consistently the worst commentator on the network. He went on to become an Amazon-affiliated Twitch streamer and AFAICT makes a pretty good grift job taking money from 19 year olds who wish they had the attention span to read Nabokov
Unfortunate case of the only person incidentally saying the right things just so happens to be the most unlikeable, wannabe intelligentsia podcastbro out there. I hate the fact that that specifically was the person we decided to be the far left's Rogan
None of this was happening when Biden left. The rest of the world is doing fine but Americans are importing mystery meat, rationing medicine, and trying to scrap together nuts and bolts like the apocalypse has already happened.
Surely another front to this global trade war will solve things, right?
Lol. I cannot actually believe I've spent so much of my evening talking about a fart "Gas Chamber" but here it goes:
I want to reiterate my basic stance that I might have phrased a bit emotionally before.
I do not think this idea is coming from a good place / a good perspective on the respect given to kids and the dignity owed to them as people.
Talking axiomatically here: all people, from the age/development that they're able to do so, are owed an inalienable privacy in the bathroom, available to their privilege whenever they want it. I believe this entirely."Bathroom breaks" and permissions are reprehensible in this respect. I want to clarify now that I don't think that this privacy doesn't also include farting. This itself is pretty tautological to me. It gets filed under the same folder. My specific argument here is that people have a right to fart wherever they want (in private) and that the structure of this "Gas Station" takes that away at the convenience of the teacher.
I don't think you took away the point I was trying to make about your office so I'll skip over it.
From the article:
The spot features air freshener sprays and a yellow sign warning visitors that they are entering a “gusty winds area.”
There's a sort of gross infantilization here that's hard to articulate but that I hope you can infer some of what I'm talking about. This is not how bathrooms are designed. However well-intentioned the teacher might have been, she has massively overestimated her ability for objectiveness. There's a condescension here that does not show respect for a person's right to handle natural bodily functions in a neutral, nonjudgmental environment, which I believe is effected entirely by her position as loco parentis to the kids. Her objectiveness is compromised and her special relationship with the subject of her design (the "Fart Box") has been detrimental to it's end result / intentioned-use.
This is literally exactly what I'm arguing for. Having a stickered "Gas Station" with complimentary bottles of Febreze (already inappropriate for a classroom where other kids might have sensitivities to those things) is grossly infantilizing.
The idea that a "Gas Station" in the corner "teach[es] students personal maturity" assumes that kids don't even yet have maturity to go to the bathroom on their own, that that is something the instructor needs to teach.
Instead of sending students out into the hallway, the setup allows children to handle their needs without asking for permission or disrupting the lesson.
> “If they have to relieve themselves, they will just simply get up off of the rug, and they will walk back to that corner right there where you see that little yellow sign. And of course, we have everything they need over here,” Sydney-Browning said in her video while pointing to the sprays.
> The goal of the station is to prevent lost learning time and teach students personal maturity.
This is the mentality of someone who doesn't see children as people
it implies the us libertarians aren’t usually fascist.
Well yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Whether or not most self-described libertarians are actually libertarians (most arent) isnt really relevant. Libertarianism, as an idealogy, is fundamentally opposed to fascism, as an idealogy, definitionally so. It's only by FPTP, majority rule, etc. that finds those two groups voting for the same platform instead of being confident enough to run their own parties. (See also: outspoken communist ideologues earnestly supporting the DNC because they know their vote will never be represented otherwise.)
As I said, the comic really isnt that deep or serious, but I do appreciate that it's a bit more self-aware than the average Ben Garrison piece

Blame Trump.

I dont see any functional difference tbh. Is this something you would want your office to implement? It's really not more complicated than that for me

FFS privacy in the bathroom is a human right

Check in on your local gay because they are in shambles right now
Without a second thought
I think that at this point they should look into building a New New Delhi
Good thing we got rid of the only candidate who's ever polled above her, huh?
Fuck it, Im going back to VGA
