Scroll past something and want to find it again? Too bad! We updated your entire feed because you clicked on some other thing.
Searching for big unshippable things like a stove or lawnmower or truck wheels? We’re going to include mostly listings that are across the country! Oh and you can’t just set your default to be local only, we’ll update it to shipping+local EVERY FUCKING TIME.
FB doesn’t want you to sell things, they want to sell ads for you to sell things which is why it sucks so bad. It’s a profit center not a feature
Android updates that make shit look different, and move shit around, just so you know there was an update.
Mine just did that.Quote:

It took me 13 separate calls to get someone to cancel two Viasat internet accounts. The Final Boss didn’t understand what I was trying to accomplish, and only managed to cancel one (I think ), but after wasting my morning, I’ll take it.
Except that is not exactly what CRT is.Quote:

Pretty clear it’s you that doesn’t understand what critical race theory is exactlyQuote:

A recent poll by the advocacy group Parents Defending Education claimed some schools were teaching that “white people are inherently privileged, while Black and other people of color are inherently oppressed and victimized”; that “achieving racial justice and equality between racial groups requires discriminating against people based on their whiteness”
Opponents fear that CRT admonishes all white people for being oppressors while classifying all Black people as hopelessly oppressed victims. These fears have spurred school boards and state legislatures from Tennessee to Idaho to ban teachings about racism in classrooms. However, there is a fundamental problem: these narratives about CRT are gross exaggerations of the theoretical framework.
My understanding of the essence of CRT is that it lumps white people in to an "oppressor" group and everyone else in to the "oppressed" group. I know this is grossly oversimplified, but that's what happens at a children's curriculum level. Please tell me if this is incorrect.Quote:

I do support teaching our children the true history of oppression in this nation and how to recognize/stand against it. But to teach them they are part of the problem isn't helpful imo.
I know, spoken like a true oppressor.

Re: CRT.
*Every single* argument I've ever heard against CRT starts with a straw-man argument. (Something like: "They're teaching our kids to hate themselves, and that the nation should be run by the black panther party and Muslims and communists!" So much to unpack right there, eh!? Who is "our" kids, hmmm?)
The rest of the discussion is pointless, unless the person using the straw-man argument is willing to admit they are using (intentionally or not) a fabricated argument.
I suppose there's a person, somewhere, making some cogent argument against the way we teach about racism, but I'm afraid I've never ever heard it.
Kind of the same way that I'm sure there's some cogent argument in some corner case where a Covid vaccine might be less valuable. But again, I've never, EVER, heard anyone make a cogent argument like that. It's always bat-shit insane crazy drool, that's the equivalent of arguing that the tooth fairy exists. (Like: "I don't want my teenager to get the covid vax because I'm worried about carditis." Response: "Ah, have you considered what the risk of carditis is from getting Covid, to name a single risk?" Sounds a lot like; I'm worried about car crashes, so I'm going to leap out of this car at freeway speeds, because I think it will save me from a crash!)
In the whole, it tends to make me, nearly instantly, discount the intellectual honesty of anyone starting to make one of those arguments.
I've just never seen ANYONE make an argument (in those two realms) that isn't, at best, totally misguided and lacking in facts; believing factually crazy stuff - or at worst, being completely intellectually dishonest and intentionally devoid of any common definition of facts (Unwittingly believing BS, or "I'm gonna make shit up", completely knowing it's total bull-shit.).
