Except when that is hate towards me for being queer or neurodivergent. I can and will block out hate speech towards me or other minorities that’s not based in reality. There’s a point where I will listen except when vitriol is spewed towards me for no reason. You’re attaching a tolerance to intolerance as if we have to listen to n@!is, racists or bigots just attacking everyone else for no good reason other than fox or Trump telling them so that these minorities are some threat that they’re not.

I don’t hate free speech. There’s just nothing saying I HAVE to listen to someone spewing hate and misinformation. Especially all the hate and misinformation that’s put me in danger for years because of me being queer or neurodivergent.

You misread me, first ammendment protects you from the govt, not from others refusing to listen to you. Man you’re dense

Nah free speech means the government won’t stop you. It doesn’t mean we gotta listen to you or give you a platform for the hate whether it’s irl or online. Gotta read that first ammendment a bit more throughly my dude

Funnily diaspora was my first foray away from big social media sites and here I am years later on both lemmy and mastodon 🤣

Diaspora never got me to stick for some reason but somehow these two are working and idk how

Man thats some !agedlikemilk@lemmy.world but at least they realized it lmao

Sure, while also compromising with the gqp to destroy the effectiveness of any legislation. Her especially needs to freaking retire, yall need to stop with these logical fallacies. Her, rbg and the rest of the moderates over the years have done absolutely NOTHING to actually help people not be in danger from the gqp and their followers. Esp in my state. Do some damn research and stop this bs of calling these moderates what they aren’t 🤣

Hahaha Pelosi, Biden and others a progressive? You need to Google shiz, it’s free. They’re centrists and moderates at best. They don’t belong to actual leftist and progressive ideology and no one on this side claims them. Good try tho

You probably believe a bunch of countries are communists or socialists despite their leaders preventing them actually going there fully. Once you have a dictator or similar leader it defeats the purpose 🤣

Hahaha no. The moderates are conservatives in sheep’s clothing. Nice try tho

That’s the moderates of the “left” that’s actually the right lol

I get that but I’d rather vote and revolution at the same time. Not voting gives the gqp more power imo and just ugh 😑

Which they all ask me now that I’m trying to get through things what ones would be helpful and the usual suspects never were helpful. I’ve done research on other possible ones and always tell them I’ve got no clue what would be helpful bc searches don’t seem to line up but all these schools have no lists of ideas for that either…

Better than voting for gqp. I vote progressive in primaries and forced into the other bc no one has the spines to fix the system to ranked elimination voting. I’m leftist bc at least they’re not actively trying to unalive me like the right

I just wanna say this is irony that it came up on a work machine tho. Like they really trying to get you out of there 🤣

Problem is there needs to be a alternative for audhd people like me. I can’t do textbooks and I’m tired of being forced to learn things exclusively through them without much practice.

That would’ve helped tremendously in my “logic and algorithms” class that it felt like never got any practical practice to see in code. So much of my computer classes based in the theory of it all without allowing me to attempt it in practical applications. It’s either that or not being based in reality on languages and technologies we need to learn. Like heck I want to get into tinkering too and there’s not much for that in schools where I wouldn’t have to have a better paying job to afford the materials myself.

Plus with things like history it’s bonkers how much stuff I’ve found out after the fact bc of living in the south. Esp since I know they tried to push states rights bs on us, and definitely make columbus seem like the Saint he’s not. Among other stuff bc people who shouldn’t be involved in education are dictating things like this.

Well there’s a bunch of content some of my teachers have pulled from that’s just as good. Hell with history it’s a good idea not to have a state textbook anyway. Shiz omits so much it’s unreal. Or it tries to paint times before the Civil war as the best of times despite us yknow owning people o_O

I mean lucky you. Usually my problem was shiz would get slow all the time on it. Haven’t ever had that issue when I switched. Windows was just constantly getting more and more unstable for me…and I didn’t ever mess with anything to make it act like that…

I mean yea sounds about right. The moderates are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Esp when they randomly flip parties and screw us over on rights and encourage the gerrymandering to get worse 🙃

That was the point. Bc I have AuDHD and have always struggled with textbooks but no one has offered a accommodation(which most accommodations have been lackluster in how much help they provide) that worked for me. I wanted to be done with college by now, but so many things on top of the lack of hands-on stuff means I feel like I’ve learned absolutely nothing.
