What is the relation between someone speeding in their car and a professor using a bad set of course materials?

Your analogy doesn’t really establish any causal or relational links. Both subjects are victims of America’s capital-dominated power structure?

Sure better decisions can be made, but how much can you blame the subject under duress? How much blood can you reasonably expect the parent or teacher to draw from the stone? At what cost of their health?

In my experience professors are heavily overworked and heavily underpaid. Offloading work onto other systems to get a better work-life balance seems like a natural response.

Ah yeah let’s take every isreali official at their word.

Not that I doubt it.

It’s okay! The UN has recently declared this a genocide! I’m sure after 5 more years of rhetoric, 3 voting periods, 2 years of silence, and another year of logistics, they’ll do something!

I was referencing people I know. They’re normal fans that have a bit of merch and hide behind the “it’s my childhood” defense. Not terribly parasocial about it, but they’re furries. I think it’s more just the “God given American right” to believe that you’re in a protected, soft little bubble and none of your actions have consequences.

What is it if not a landgrab? A pit Putin can throw the next generation of russians into? A blow to Putin’s pride that he refuses to accept?

You have no idea the amount of queers I know that still participate in harry potter bullshit because “it was their childhood” and “she’s already rich so what’s it matter?”

MFs hide behind their nostalgia and pretend they’re still fucking children while paying money to someone advocating for their fucking genocide.

“died in custody” is one thing, it happens, people die.

But when it happens to dozens, hundreds, thousands of people a year? That’s America.

Lmao. What an unbelievably stupid rule. “Just pretend everyone is cool even if they’re a total loser or whatever”
