If teachers molested children at the rate that police shoot people/excessive force, if there was no professional or legal accountability for it, if we routinely saw videos of it happening, if there was a subculture of pro-pedo teachers, then sure, this analogy would work.
oh, and also: teachers who tried to stop their pedo-colleagues were ostracized or fired, teacher unions were led by the most pro-pedo members of the profession, and popular culture was saturated with depictions of heroic pedo-teachers.
teachers with qualified immunity to molest children provided they had a reasonable belief the child was sexually interested in them, and some schools were teachers extract fines from parents by threatening to molest their children
anyway this is all to say that the quoted tweet is honestly one of the stupidest things i’ve ever had the misfortune of reading
so you think this analogy illuminates something about the world? that it’s useful?
beat my first lynel in BOTW and it feels like a legit accomplishment
strategy: boosted my hearts, boosted my defense, used a heavy weapon, shot arrows from a distance, when it charged, used stasis to freeze and then rushed in with a heavy weapon. could knock 200 to 300 HP off each cycle of this.
watching GODZILLA (2014) tonight and it is much better than i think i anticipated. i am very disappointed that there is no 4K blu ray, since the HD stream from iTunes leaves much to be desired.
oh my god yes. even a regular blu ray disc contains far more audio and visual information than high quality streams. there is no internet stream that compares to a 4K ultra HD transfer “streamed” from a disc
watching the first raimi Spider-Man and the thing about it is it’s so unmistakably a Raimi film in the same way that Batman ‘89 is so unmistakably Burton
and both sequels involve the respective directors just embracing everything that makes them distinct and idiosyncratic
cliff robertson doesn’t get much screen time as uncle ben but he does so much with the scenes he has
what are you talking about?!? i literally just read a story in christianity today making the identical observation as Obama and quoting Hispanic evangelicals to do it! this observation has been a part of post election coverage for the last three weeks?!?
“Quiet part loud” usually means “forgoing the dogwhistle.” Obama is straightforwardly echoing the words of Hispanic political activists and Hispanic evangelicals themselves. I would be interested to know what is offensive here. christianitytoday.com/news/2020/nove…
they are really running with “obama is an anti-hispanic bigot” because he noted that evangelical Hispanics — a group for whom the Trump campaign invested a lot of resources — are cross-pressured on social issues
even funnier coming from the guy whose website had a “black crime” tag
“the earnest attempt to subvert and overturn the election didn’t pan out so the people who urged vigilance were being hysterical” is the probably going to be conventional wisdom for the professional contrarian set
i don’t really know who you are or what your deal is but “the vigilance of people concerned for the health of our democracy” doesn’t mean tweets, it means lawyers and poll workers and advocacy groups and organizers etc.
