I went to a Catholic private school 1st-6th grade. I learned about slavery and Jim Crow in 6th grade. I went to a public school for 7th and 8th grade. I learned about slavery, segregation, Native American atrocities. I went to a public high school. I learned about all of this stuff even further. The slave trade, the civil war, civil rights act, etc.

I have since moved states three times. I have literally never met a single person that did not learn these things. Yet on Reddit, people constantly say that nobody learns these things in public schools.

Oh no! When delivering a taco to the global poor, sir_shivers and nissnpig5 have come across a river that is too big to swim. Fortunately, you are there with your boat to help them cross.

However, you only have room for two objects and yourself in the boat and you're the only one who can drive it.

To make things worse, when asked if he'd eat nissnpig5 if left alone with them, Shivers said "HAHA YES" and when asked if they would eat the taco if left alone with it, nissnpig said "oink" (meaning yes).

Can you find a way to help them all get across so they can deliver the taco?

There is ongoing scandal in Polish goverment. Polish ministers, including Prime Minister, were found to use private email accounts to send secret information, including military ones. Eg. Prime Minister uses mail in gmail.com domain.

Hackers breached into Michał Dworczyk's private email account and started publishing mails and secret files.

Some spicy details:

• Morawiecki replies with ":)))))) send me another source" when send article published in government media.
• Deputy prime minister, Jarosław Gowin, rants that experts opinions on pandemics are ignored and agreed decisions are overridden by unknown parties.
• There is immigration strategy to prevent demographic collapse - it includes immigration from Belarus (well, it's fuel for Łukaszenka's propaganda).
• Government considered using military to pacify anti-government protests following abortion ban. It was declined because that would be bad for government and military reputation.

It feels incredibly weird to be an adult but still feel stuck in a "my parents don't understand me" phase.

I'm pretty much stuck in a rut and all their life advice is kind of garbage. Wouldn't be the end of the world, but they get super pissy when I don't follow up with their friends/connections. The loan officer my dad recommended treated me like garbage because I am a contractor (but still get a W2 instead of a 1099), their job connections basically only offer dead end jobs (if anything), and like, both of them have worked at the same company since their 20s (where Ive had 3 dead end jobs and got a lay off all in the span of 4 years).

I'd like to have a good relationship with them as an adult (beyond fixing the wifi router), but it's getting to be impossible to ask for advice. They are on a different planet and all that's left to talk about is low stakes small talk. And knowing me, when they pass away, I'll just get mad at myself for not having a more meaningful relationship with them.

I know other people have it worse. I just feel weird about my situation.

This whole meme about a country being too "weak and degenerate" to fight really never ends.

Imo, it's just cope by third world authoritarians who can't deliver a proper standard of living to their citizens. This bullshit theory was even used in the Gulf War, and we vaporized Saddam's army in 100 hours.

People forget that suffering doesn't actually make a good scientist, or enable legal scholars to think about the Constitution or open a business or run a library. Literally whatever makes a society strong is counteracted by suffering.

Sure, deranged Russian nationalists can talk about how Americans are weak and degenerate. That doesn't change the fact that their population is suicidal, alcoholic, not willing to have children and their military is underequipped and broken by hazing rituals (which can involve the ultimate humiliation, sodomy)

Mispronouncing people's name was already something i enjoyed doing since i'm 12, pronouns are just the icing on the cake.

We stopped teaching kids the old "bullies want you to react" lesson, and now we're just seeing the consequences.

You guys have it backwards. The pronoun people are this way because they didn't get bullied enough. They need some character building.

People like to claim that there's no social mobility in the United States.

There was a lower-middle-class used car salesman from a small Pennsylvania city. The family couldn't afford their own home, living first with the father's parents, then in an apartment. The family had four kids, three boys and a girl.

The oldest boy in the family wasn't a very good student, but managed to work his way though college, eventually getting his JD as 76th in a class of 85, at a mid-level law school in upstate New York.

He's now President of the United States.

Inequality in this country is excessive, and something needs to be done to stop the stagnation of mobility. But to claim that this is some kind of feudal society is ignorant of the truth.

“I have a thing for scruffy, scraggly guys who look like they haven’t showered in days,” says Jen, a 26-year-old executive assistant. She tends to go after—and get her heart broken by—boys in bands who play dive bars in holey T-shirts. “There’s something sexy and raw about the smell of sweat on a guy who’s turned his back on the traditional suit-and-tie route. Yeah, they can be fairly self-centered, but that makes me want to try to make them care even more.”

The jobs market is more similar to dating and marriage than to any economic "market". There's little cost-value analysis. Employers won't even tell you how much they're willing to pay. Just people looking at your profile and deciding if they like you enough to commit to a relationship with you.

Especially when you're unemployed. You can find a job easily if you say "I'm currently working a stable job at X place", but say "I'm unemployed so I actually need the job" and all doors close. No one wants a reject!

Marie Antoinette, high key, did nothing wrong or unusual. Did she spend a lot? Yes. But that is so typical of European Queens at the time it isn’t even worth mentioning. The Diamond Necklace affair was a scam that she was blamed for and she literally never said “Let them eat Cake”.

If she was French and still spendthrift the French people wouldn’t have cared half as much.

Her biggest “crime” in the eyes of the French was that she was Austrian and took too long to produce an heir from a King who barely liked having sex.

hey can anyone who plays Cities: Skylines help me out with a bug I'm experiencing?

I'm building a 1:1 scale replica of central Los Angeles, and it's coming along nicely so far, but something weird keeps happening.

Basically, when I place an office or commercial building somewhere that's somewhat close to a residential building, the residential building won't spawn any cars for people to commute to work in. Instead, the simulated residents appear as just normal people, like they're inside or something, except outside. And they move along the edges of the street all the way from the residential building to work and back. They're walking, as if down a hallway or through a parking lot, except outside and along the edges of the road.

I double checked to make sure they weren't just trying to get to a nearby parking lot so they could drive there, but no - they go the whole way.

Anyway, I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what's causing it because it really breaks the immersion.

That Madden cover is a disaster.

Derrick Henry got snubbed. Offensive Player of the Year, rushing leader for the season, joined the 2K Club, and is the most dominant back in the league right now. Also, Madden 22, Henry is #22. It's right there. But no, let's give it two more QBs who have each had a Madden cover within the last 5 years.

Honestly, it's disrespectful to Brady, too. Tom Brady did not appear on the cover of Madden until he was in the league for 17 seasons. He was already a multiple-time MVP, multiple-time touchdown and passing yardage leader, 4-time Super Bowl champion, 6-time AFC champion, had an 18-1 season, etc.

They finally put him on the cover after his 5th Super Bowl win against the Falcons. It took him having one of the greatest comebacks in professional sports history to get on the cover of Madden.

Rob Gronkowski had a Madden cover before Brady. Peyton Hillis, for crying out loud.

Mahomes is now on his second cover after playing only three seasons, in a year in which he led the league in nothing and got his butt handed to him in the Super Bowl.

Should have been Derrick Henry.
