When schools send a bunch of cops in to fight college students, it immediately makes them look brave and justifies their cause. Everyone roots for the underdog especially when they're actually risking something.

Meanwhile at UCLA they're just letting the protestors do whatever. So they're inevitably making themselves look bad.

Beloved parts of campus are spray-painted with cringe anarchy symbols. Walkways are blocked so students can't get to class. Protestors keep climbing onto building scaffolding which impedes construction for no reason. There's a PSA that no bananas or peanuts are allowed at the encampment because someone has an allergy.

I can feel the vibe slowly beginning to shift against them just because they keep doing stupid college-student type stuff.

They really only win when images of cops arresting them are promulgated through the mainstream, because they invoke the cultural memory of Kent State and student protests of the 60s. Columbia is the most embarassing example because the administration is allowing Elise Stefanik to dictate their response because they're more afraid of protecting their jobs, which is ironic because they'll probably be losing them soon and having a Scarlett letter going forward in left spaces because of how they treated them. The Republicans couldn't be happier that this implosion is happening in an election year, it's just impressive that the Biden administration has been able to side step for this long.

Please COPS! PLEASE BEAT US TO DEATH!

The video of the Columbia students who took over a building requesting humanitarian aid at a press conference was so embarrassing. The video of the horse cops breaking up the UT protest was embarrassing. Ignoring seems to be the only good method.

A picture of themself being arrested is what they need to propel their post Uni activism career.

This sub gets too caught up in optics. The reality is repression is effective. It may strengthen passive activism and sympathy, but those people don't do a thing. They're not a problem. Meanwhile repression actively hinders a sizeable part of the demographics that aren't useless, the ones actively doing something. It's a net positive to dissuade them with violence. This is based on my experience in France, maybe not fully applicable to the US where protests are a lot more performative in nature.

I thought this sub would be sympathetic to the protestors

everyone here probably aligns with the protestors morally and ethically but it's always frustrating to see the left lose the war of optics because we can't help but be cringe.

I'm so checked out, how are they being cringe? All I see is them having occupied the national spotlight and a heightening of political tension

They took over Hamilton Hall (I'm fine with this) and then during a press conference today talked about the need for students occupying the Hall to receive "basic humanitarian aid" unless Columbia wants them to "starve and die of thirst". When told by a reporter that they are simultaneously calling themselves revolutionaries while also asking to be fed by Columbia, she says they aren't asking to be fed but asking "that they don't violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid". When asked if Columbia is stopping delivery of food, she says they are "looking for a commitment that they won't". Just unbelievably cringe. To top it off stood behind her during this conference is a bearded man wearing a crop top and keffiyeh

Seen another one of students who were asked what the goal was. She said showing support for Palestine and demanding NYU stops. When asked "stops what?" she says "Honestly I'm not so sure" then she asks the girl next to her what they are protesting for NYU to stop and she says "I wish I were more educated on that".

There was a student with a "severe banana allergy" so the encampment was made a banana free zone, but Zionist anti-protestors brought bananas and laughed while eating them from a distance which made the students furious.

For anyone averse to cringe its really hard to cheer these people on

The duality of the protesters

For many, many years, I've recorded that my girls outperform the boys by a wide margin. In my case, the measured difference between them is so large that I cannot help but think something is wrong with our boys, particularly after I also account for their general behavior.

If I test 100 children and score work blindly, with names removed, the top 90% will be girls, and it has been so for a couple decades.

Sounds like you teach grade school.

Boys largely struggle to follow simple directions. Working memory is poor. Executive functioning is minimal. They are impulsive to the core, constantly distracted, and unable to perform at grade level. Compared to girls, the boys leave me feeling as if I where working with infants and toddlers. Most students we have in our special education programs and those with IEPs are boys. In every class I've had, most of the boys strike me as being mentally handicapped. Yes, there are outliers. There are always outliers amongst both genders.

lmao These literal children would rather play than listen to me, are they retarded?

I don't know if boys ever catch up,

Considering !fellas outperform !biofoids almost across the board I'd say they do more than catch up

but I do not suspect that to be the case, given the deltas I record every day. I'm familiar with the old anecdotes of boys maturing slower and being a couple years behind the emotional development of girls, but this appears to be something more ominous.

No, boys are just tuff enough that they don't falter the moment you crack the whip.

its called the patriarchy. Boys are not held to the same social standards as girls.

Then why are boys the most likely to be punished?

The patriarchy, which leaves boys behind?

The sentiment is that low achieving boys will achieve higher than high achieving women because of patriarchal standards.

These boys DON'T have to try hard because the system is meant for them to succeed.

Are you literally retarded? They don't try because they don't care. They're children who'd rather be playing amongst themselves.

Except that's not an explanation for what's happening here. Boys aren't doing worse in high school because they "have an understanding" that they will succeed later on. They're just...failing.

They aren't just failing in K-12, either. The success of boys in a continual downtrend at college as well.

It's bizarre to me that someone would look at a kid who is going to drop out of high school and say "Well, the patriarchy!" like it's a point worth making in that context.

It's because teachers are made up solely of unicels who had it pounded into their head that patriarchy was the great satan that caused all sin in the world.

Teachers are mostly women. Parents who actually parent are mostly women. Males are taught to not respect or listen to women. It's not difficult stuff to grasp.

That doesn't track at all. Somehow the majority of authority in a boys life is female and he's taught not to respect them? No, hr learns not to respect them. Seeing teachers fail basic physical tasks, bow down to empty authority and go on childish power trips teaches him not to respect women.

P.S. trauma survivors poison the well. Kill the male feminist, kill the victims.

A man was joking around one night and asked a group of us each what superpower we would like to have. Lots of people said to fly, shoot bullets from their fingers, one person said to dispense ranch dressing from their navel. I said to be invisable to men. I killed the party mood.

The last few days on Twitter people have been mocking women who think that they'd be safer lost in the woods next to a bear than a random man.

Of course women will jump into these conversations and say "but men bad" and get flamed, then cry about how mean the internet is to the mentally handicapped.

Today, I saw this one, who seemingly proudly announces that she purposefully buzzkills parties.

With a subset of Republicans, the House of Representatives has the votes to end Trump's candidacy, as described by the Supreme Court's recent ruling.

Today's collaboration to keep a loyalist Republican as a House Speaker marks a triumph of sanity as the fascist threat would finally be put down.

Barring that, we face Civil War this summer as the inevitability of Trump's revenge, should he fail to be elected, forces the hand of the American People.

TRUMP MUST NOT RUN.

Why would anyone care about how others eat their food?

I do not care if people break spaghetti because they want smaller pieces.

I do care if they break it to "make it fit in the pot".

Because it softens enough in boiling water to bend and fit after a few seconds. So people who break it for that purpose, are blatently lacking in basic critical and logical thinking, and they need to learn so they stop perpetuating that nonsense.

For people who just want smaller pieces, that's fine. Since that type of pasta isn't available in all stores, and might even be more expensive based on where you are because of much lower mass production numbers.

Because Italian food is the only thing left of the Roman Empire.

most historically literate redditor

If you saw someone wearing shoes upside down with their laces tied around their ankles wouldn't you say

"Hey! There's a better way to do that! That's not how you use shoes!"

This is the same concept but with chefs and Italians

I mean if I live with them and they waste a lot of food I might care a bit.

I know cutting crust off is a waste of food, but how is breaking pasta a waste?

If you really want to put it that way, when you try to break a noodle, you'll notice it always breaks into three pieces, the middle piece can be very small if you do it with your hands close to each other, but you will always lose a small amount of pasta by breaking it.

I just noticed you can even see it in the post all the lil pieces flying all around the photo lol

That's why you break them over the pot, angled so the broken bits go into the pot. It's an easy fix.

Almost like basic reasoning can answer his problem.

"You break da pasta and it flies forward!" Hmm, maybe break it into the pot?

But why breaking it in the first place?

I think to fit it in the pot so one half isn't undercooked vs the side that's not in water

... are you all out there just yeeting pasta into a pot and leaving it to boil unattended

If I wanted to attend my food I wouldn't be making spaghetti

I don't see any issues with modifications on food. Do whatever for you to eat. Who cares

yeah! let me eat my bananas with ketchup in peace

As much as an abomination this is, if someone likes it then that's on them

I put Nutella and mayo on meat lovers pizza it's such a great combo

in conclusion: italians lmao

P.S.: Pineapple is good on pizza

Beautytok is all up in the shit right now and it's actually kind of funny so ima tell you all about it!

A few months ago a new makeup brand called Youthforia caught some flak from black beauty creators because their foundation shade range was basically non-existent for black people, and that's not allowed unless you're a Korean or Japanese brand (for obvious reasons). The owner of the brand (who is asian but is American and Youthforia is an American brand) actually came out and tried to defend their shade range by UNIRONICALLY saying it was a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT and was met with even more criticism because we all aren't fricking BLIND and that's STUPID. AND all of the shades on the box were NOT the shades that you get in the bottle so darker shades were actually even lighter than advertised which only made people more upset.

SO to appease the masses Youthforia expanded their shade range and introduced like 5 new shades for darker skintoned people and now everyone wants to burn down their HQ.

IT'S FRICKING SHOE POLISH BLACK. This shade is a literal asian-on-black hate crime and everyone is soooooper mad because it's LITERALLY black face paint. The shade is being compared to minstrel makeup and now Youthforia is sooper raycist.

Like you know if Time fricking magazine orders a rush job article about your debacle you done fricked up good.

Anyhoo tiktok is all abuzz with their pitchforks and you can pick pretty much any video about it and watch jaqqoffs slaughter each other in the comments with whataboutism and "muh cousin's neighbor is black like a tire and would love this!"

It's great.

Dalke printed out top secret documents, and after leaving, he offered to sell them for $85,000 to an individual he believed was a Russian agent

For 85k why not just fricking go to work instead? I'm the laziest person in the world and even I'm not this pathetic.

Whenever a woman posts about being happy single and childless at 30+ y/o men are always in the comments saying something along the lines of “this is cope, if you were truly happy you wouldn't be posting about it”.

And thing is a woman can't be happy single and childless together because women are social creatures and will get a huge depression if they have nobody near them and western women are home enough that they also often have distant relationship with parents and family

I guess by that logic women who post about their happy marriages are also secretly miserable and “coping”.

That's also often true but women love to brag and dunk on another women so if it was man who wrote how happy married he is than that would been suspicious

Also, thinking that women are “expired” at 30 is so delusional. You can definitely get married in your 30s and even 40s. Men who watch that redpill bullshit have really lost the sense of real world.

>You can definitely get married in your 30s and even 40s

She subconsciously shows she knows it becomes pain in butt to get married to a good man that “and even” is cherry on top

I mean of course all women in the west can marry someone living in third world and bring them to the west it's not hard and possible at any age but that ain't happening because western equality loving women don't want to betabuxx a man. And in the west at 30+ there more straight women than men and successful men that those foids want don't care about their roasties asses.

After checking her profile

https://old.reddit.com/r/s*x/comments/1ccx4uc/having_sex_on_antidepressants_as_a_woman/

Her post about women being happy single would had more weight behind if she didn't had s*x after using antidepressants 6 days ago so she probably recently broken up

She is having dreams about having bi son

Also she is pooping on Trump while she is apparently Russian living in Russia

She also must be 24 or younger

So literally an r-slur

it scares me that people like you can vote. based on the fact that you so confidently espouse materially false information, i say we should require a 36 on the ACT or similar standardized test in order to vote. it would filter the lot of you out, and i would rest easy knowing that the opinion of cretins doesn't matter.
