Why this question?

Well, in that instance my mom cooked that early in the morning for breakfast, but just like her, I also have the tendency to experiment with food depending on what’s available. If you have tomato sauce, soy sauce, some lemons and some protein you can add vegetables to your heart’s content. Also I forgot to mention that a carrot was also a part of the recipe

You know how the Romans collected taxes in there less “Roman” providences?

Well that would certainly explain why the tax collectors get such a bad rap in the Gospels.

Pretty sure it’s a bit related… And there’s nothing wrong with learning a bit more about history

Students, especially in the Philippines and some 3rd world countries. You can basically use Messenger and Facebook without data, just without images or video. For the sake of accessibility schools tend to use these services.

I am one of those people who are forced to use these social media for school.

Real??

Man these people in the comment section are lucky to think that when you simply just ignore someone, the harassment ends.

Using thorn is pretty innocuous (even though it’s mostly used incorrectly), pretty sure I saw you or at least one of you. The fact people will downvote thoughtful responses just because the way it was delivered annoys them shows a lot about humanity. And especially when people hunt down your comments to downvote them, even when there’s no thorn at all. People tend to do more annoying stuff that is way more inconvenient than using thorn, and I’m talking about certain internet etiquette practices.

The education system is wrong if it didn’t teach you the value of independent learning outside of school. Like PugJesus said, there’s no wrong way to learn history, as long as you criticise your sources.

Okay wtf do elaborate

I am stealing that too

When people say that higher grades don’t make you successful, many don’t realize that that probably means students who sacrificed their performance on school assessments to challenge themselves, work on personal projects and gain experience rather than trying to get a perfect assessment score in school. A portfolio is more important than grades when it comes to applying for jobs.

But don’t they use Portuguese?

or sunspots

I’m sorry for blowing up on you. It’s just that I feel powerless and I feel like it’s hard to change anything if I do things more directly. I’ve been trying to get people involved but it’s so hard to get the momentum going that it tends to fizzle out (kinda like c/Philippines). I really wanted free internet to be a thing here in my country (not only that, we pay more for lower quality internet cmp to other countries due to underdeveloped infrastructure) so that it would break the monopoly of facebook but I’m not sure if they’re doing their promise. I’m just used to my actions not having an impact unless it was supported by some external circumstance. Like how Lemmy became popular because of an external event.

Apathetic attitude? Not everyone has the privilege of having ever been under an authority figure who actually cares about their job. My university can’t even bother to fix their drainage system, my city has had its reputation dragged in the mud on national TV for its shitty (literally) garbage collection system (btw, I still see NOTHING came out from the publicity), even though people have been complaining about these for months. Do you seriously think they’ll take my opinion seriously? If I try to rally people to my cause, which would most likely be on Facebook, people would just snarkily say I’m overreacting and that I’m a hypocrite for using Facebook (which is the only way I could reach them in the first place). Even when I complained about the drainage system I was being name-called and insulted by someone who thought that making any demands to a school as a student was being entitled and what did I get out of it? Nothing! Do you think the geriatrics at the upper level even care about privacy or information? They still admire Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg goddammit! Have you ever had to really fight for a cause? Because you are painting an unrealistic landscape that I’ve never been able to see my entire life.

It is not feasible unfortunately, and if I were to put that as a complaint, I would most likely be called unhinged, out-of-touch, or trying to discard a perfectly usable system. We can only raise questions and influence people as of now. Besides, the reason why Messenger is popular is because of the freebasics service which allows people to use Messenger for free.

Vulnerable people tend to be the target of abusive ones. They’ll basically reinforce that vulnerable person’s beliefs from their experiences to say they shouldn’t risk anything but to stick with that abusive partner. So they tend to reinforce the focus more on anyone else being oppressive, to create a sense of “why should you bother?” Also those women who care so much about height tend to be assholes. I saw those types from Twitter a long time ago and I would roll their eyes whenever they, at the same time, sexualise asian men or are outspoken about racism even though asian men tend to be shorter. Also one thing that’s almost a parallel to the manosphere are the radfems (or at least they call themselves that way, because whatever they are seems different from what radical feminism is supposed to be). A lot of these radfems tend to just only see men in a bioessentialist or utilitarian way, because they think men are incapable of genuine connection. And it too, is a pipeline of sorts (which I encountered firsthand through Pinterest) because they start with women voicing out real concerns, to “rule of thumbs”, to defending the use of generalised language such as “men are…”, until they become prejudiced and start seeing individual men as only a part of a greater whole for this perceived collective identity of a “man”.
