    This is how extremism works. If they get rid of knowledge they then control the knowledge and how it’s interpreted. Especially how people are educated.

      Your flaw in logic and reasoning is applying logic and reasoning.

      Dude doesn’t even remember elementary school English lessons.

      Don’t they already believe that? What you call gender is a concept they don’t believe in. They use the word as a synonym for assigned sex.

      It doesn’t work that way. These “people’s” worldview is “heads I win, tails you lose.” They will be selectively hyper-credulous to whatever bullshit they want to believe, while turning into hyper-skeptics about anything they don’t want to believe.

      You will never, ever win against them with a logical argument, not even reverse psychology, because the only rules they play by are the ones they make up second-by-second to make them victorious against you.

    I don’t know, have you seen how they are teaching math these days?

    This liberal agenda is getting out of hand!! /s

        We’d been using Arabic numerals forever. Pretty sure your parent is complaining (tongue in cheek) about New Math, because us millennial parents learned multiplication by memorizing a times table and we think that’s the only way to do it.

        It makes sense, in terms of a long term education approach, because it teaches the other properties of arithmetic (like distributive or associative or cumulative) much earlier on, which IMO makes more difficult arithmetic far more approachable later on.

        But it is weird as hell if you aren’t primed on it. They really should make a ditto for parents when they start doing it.

    That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.

    I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.

    On one hand, this is obviously fake

    On the other hand, there’s 7 billion people on the planet and the odds that one of them would do this is very high

      Not necessarily. As someone who worked in education for a bit. You’d be suprised how crazy parents can act, and how they can overinterpret everything as political.

      One parent got mad I was teaching the students about “radicals”… in math. (you know the opposite of the exponent, the radical).

      The year was 1991.
      My roommate decides to eat hot dogs.
      We keep breads in the freezer so they last. Toaster is broken.
      I tell this to my roommate before I go to the toilet.
      I come out and I see a pot of boiling water with hot dogs and hot dog buns in it.
      My roommate decided to boil bread to warm it up.

      People can be far stupider than you could possibly ever imagine.

        George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

        I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.

        I’m less offended at the boiled bread than I am at the boiled hotdogs.

        you might as well just eat them cold, they’re precooked. You heat them on a pan (or grill) to add FLAVOR. boiling generally removes flavor. Browning the skin in some way (Grill, pan, those rollers at gas stations,) is that flavor.

        The only exception to boiling removing flavor is hot dog carts and stands and such like, where the water hasn’t been changed… ever… Yes. it tastes amazing. no. You don’t want to know why that is.

        I had a friend that liked to put butter and honey on his bread before he put it in a two slice toaster. He did this every morning for years.

        Each time the toaster broke or caught fire, he would put it out and get a new toaster and repeat the process. He may still be doing it to this day.

      Yeah this looks fake because it’s a dramatization of reality. I’ve seen young dudes IRL argue whether it’s “gay” to wash the balls, and the unmentionables behind that. Literally just soap and water bathing. We’re talking people so uneducated they don’t know the word “gooch” or “taint”, or anything similar. There’s always at least one older dude who leaves to shower like a normal person, but he’ll be back later to buy some weed.

      Tangent, but can you imagine buying weed from someone who doesn’t wash their ass? That’s part of the history of the war on drugs. Unwashed perineums, in your lungs.

    Sounds like a call to CPS is needed. Maybe a game of ‘shot to the chin’ every time he uses one.

    George does not like pronouns. George tries to keep George’s temper under George’s control when the (plural) people George interacts with use pronouns.
