I won’t object to someone doing this as long as they shut up about it, don’t boast to me about it, and basically don’t say any of that stuff in the speech bubbles under any circumstances. I find that these kinds of people are unbearable and eat other Christians alive rather than nurturing a community.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Reform UK launch new attack on neurodivergent childrenEnglish
10·3 days agoThey’re right. A refuse problem localised entirely in university student accomodation. Everyone knows autistic flatmates are the only ones who get around to cleaning the bins out. If we give ND children the attention they deserve then they might grow up to be able to stand up for themselves! And then none of the bins will get tidied up!

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Now is a great time to try an open mic, just print out some of the Epstein emails, find some good bits and read them into a microphone!English
4·3 days agoI feel like never before in history has it been more evident that the super elite are not having fulfilling lives themselves.
For instance: recently, Elon was slandered by some writer saying he can’t appreciate art + movies properly, and since then he’s made a big show of commenting on all the “movies” pages on X-twitter.
So performative. Like Donald Trump’s behaviour rubbed off on him.
As for the others - Bezos and Zuckerberg and more - well, they just seem to be having an awkward time whenever in the public eye. They struggle to find uses for their time and money and end up sending pop stars to the moon and such.
It’s like you said - can you imagine how unfulfilled and disconnected from real life people like Jeffrey Epstein were, to decide their effort was best spent organising an industry of kidnapping, blackmail + sexual slavery? Either the man was a demon, or he was so profoundly impotent - emotionally and conventionally - that he only got his kicks from abusing minors.
It’s definitely a warning sign to anyone still playing the capitalist game.

8·4 days agoHaven’t read the emails yet but the “birthday book” made me feel sick. His “friends”/clients basically had a cult around him, actually worshipped him.

171·10 days agoWhen we’re at school the teachers never actually take the time to talk about:
- what non-university educated careers
- what they involve
- how to pursue trades based jobs
And it’s weird, because I’m sure everyone would love to at least dabble in woodworking or some other form of craftsmanship. But they don’t get the chance to.
The school-university pipeline works for a lot of people, but I don’t think uni straight after school is the ideal situation for most people. It means we lose sight of what education is actually for, outside of progression to further qualifications
i don’t smoke weed and I haven’t watched kurzgesagt in a long while - but I have to say, isn’t this a staunch change in direction from their usual content? On a few occasions it’s seemed like they’re being lobbied to push a particular concept and this is one of those times, for me.
Thumbnail (“you’re too old for it”) is bad because really weed should used medicinally - for old people and adults - rather than recreationally, for young people. Where it might actually effect brain development to some extent.

Uhhh you’re wrong, Jesus was crucified
