My dad brings this up when China comes up in conversation and I’m always just like “yeah, and…?” Like if we’re so smart why are they the ones with bullet trains and solar panels and not us?

I think it depends. Education is handled at a local level for the most part. That’s why school quality varies so much based on the income level of the area. I know NYC has such a system, but I don’t think my school district in the suburbs did. My parents did take me to go look at some special school when I was young, but it was nowhere close to us and I assume private. I didn’t like the place so I didn’t end up going and stayed in our local public schools.

My town is very much a blue maga kind of town. Middle class suburbanites who are totally not racist but…
Something particularly bad is there’s a community center that I walk by when I’m going to some stores that just has zionist shit plastered all around the building. It’s really disgusting.
My friends from college are generally more aligned with me. Although some of them are a bit less informed on stuff so come across a bit libby sometimes.

This thread is depressing.
Well obviously you get rid of the skull. That skull could be male or female. 50/50 removing it decreases femininity of the room.
