Report Final score: 90points Rebecca POST Viviane Viviane Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) I think materialism and the search for experience will always be around, but alternating. Salaries not keeping up with the cost of living may be a factor in driving the more Romantic spirit. If one can only afford a small bachelor, a walk in the wilderness or dancing the night away becomes more tempting. When I lived in a poor-ish neighbourhood, people were constantly outside socializing, much more so than in the middle-class neighbour where people had more private space, including backyards. 17 17points reply View more comments #6 I know it's been around for a long time now, and it's always been a part of my life, but...

Although there are a ton of conditions we cannot cure and/or treat all that well there are many more that we can. Medicine has come a tremendous way just in my life time.

If it weren't for my long term internet friends, I would have no one to talk to for the longest time.

Do they sometimes not do their work? Yes, but usually it's because they don't see the value in it. They question why things are worth their time, which I personally see as a good thing. You have to show them why it's important. They're kids and because of that, it's our jobs to show them why they need things. So, you do things like show the kid who's sure they're going to be a Youtube star that they need to be able to understand what they read by showing them the Youtube terms on how to get paid. Or, show the kid who thinks they don't need school because he's going to play for the NFL the average salaries for linemen. These kids don't sit at the older generations' knees and stare at them in reverence just because they're older, they will treat the older generation just like the older generation treats them. 12 12points reply View more comments #13 Accepting differences is starting to happen more often?!

Report Final score: 37points DUN DUN POST censorshipsucks censorshipsucks Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 months ago (edited) This isn't 100% true. This is only true in wealthy white-dominated parts of the world. China was recently lambasted for going to Malawi to film Africans for humorous racist tiktoks (I'm african). Also in Africa only in South Africa do we tolerate different identities. There are ongoing tribal conflicts across africa e.g. Ethiopia vs Tigray etc. In our country (SA) you are constitutionally protected with any identity (gay, atheist, etc.,) but outside SA you are going to be in trouble if you flaunt your non-heteronormativity or atheism. For example Nigeria has a something like 99% religiosity. We note with interest the correlation between racism, Baptist christianty, Trumpism, and the Deep South in USA (mason/dixon). We conclude that it literally is only wealthy areas like northwest europe and maybe NY/CA in USA that are tolerant. 5 5points reply View More Replies... View more comments #17 Genetic modification. The scientifically illiterate love to s**t on it, but it's the reason we can produce the amount of food we do, why we need less pesticides, and why it's far more nutritious than it once was (just look at golden rice literally preventing blindness). And for many sick people it's the reason they have medication - eg. insulin is produced through GM microbes. Like vaccines, the success of genetic research has allowed people to forget what life was like before it. Report Final score: 32points littlesaesae POST James Doe James Doe Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago The biggest complaint of those who have proper knowledge about the gmo industry is that it is a huge lever to kill healthy small farming and convert it to industrialized monoculture environment rape. The unfortunate common practice is that big corporations with gmo fields ensure their seed is spread into local farmers field, then they prove enfringements of these farmers using the gmo seeds without paying and in the legal battle offer a deal to take over the locals land and hire the farmers (of course really bad deals). This is no consiparcy but a very common practice, huge in underdeveloped countries especially in South America, but also happening e.g. In Germany to have farmers loose their "bio" /organic certification and driving them into bankruptcy to take over. 19 19points reply View More Replies...

My great-grandmother was an indentured servant during her childhood in Germany and suffered tremendous abuse and disregard for her life. She came to America and had kids of her own, who had an impoverished and abusive life, and on top of that, there was not only elitism, but also anti-immigrant sentiment and anti-German sentiment; but my grandfather's upbringing wasn't as tough as hers. My dad had an impoverished life, but not as difficult as his dad's. My sibling and I grew up "working poor," but now live comfortable, white collar, middle-class lives. And my kids have a access to college, access to healthcare, and, while we're certainly not rich, the kids live in comfort and have the opportunity to shape their futures, at least somewhat. In my great-grandmother's time, there was no opportunity for people of her class, and she would never have imagined her great-great grandchildren having such comfortable lives and bright futures. It's also good to see that the same promise of a brighter future is starting to come true for EVERYONE, and I'm glad that it's finally coming.

If you have ever had any contact with science you know how much current advances are based on the work of hundrets and thousands of scientists before. And only since a couple of decades all this knowledge is but a mouse-click away. Before a fraction might have been published in journals of which a fraction is available at your library.. None of our current technology, starting from the very basics such as the steel we build things with, would be possible without this. To stick with this "tiny" example: I can't recall the exact number, but more than 50% of the steel types available at 2010 have been developed in the 10 years before. Steel is used in almost all machines than produce or build anything. Hence making the world around us (Even the saw blade for that wood furniture you bought). And this is only a tiny example.

Salaries not keeping up with the cost of living may be a factor in driving the more Romantic spirit. If one can only afford a small bachelor, a walk in the wilderness or dancing the night away becomes more tempting.

Do they sometimes not do their work? Yes, but usually it's because they don't see the value in it. They question why things are worth their time, which I personally see as a good thing. You have to show them why it's important. They're kids and because of that, it's our jobs to show them why they need things. So, you do things like show the kid who's sure they're going to be a Youtube star that they need to be able to understand what they read by showing them the Youtube terms on how to get paid. Or, show the kid who thinks they don't need school because he's going to play for the NFL the average salaries for linemen.

This is only true in wealthy white-dominated parts of the world. China was recently lambasted for going to Malawi to film Africans for humorous racist tiktoks (I'm african). Also in Africa only in South Africa do we tolerate different identities. There are ongoing tribal conflicts across africa e.g. Ethiopia vs Tigray etc. In our country (SA) you are constitutionally protected with any identity (gay, atheist, etc.,) but outside SA you are going to be in trouble if you flaunt your non-heteronormativity or atheism. For example Nigeria has a something like 99% religiosity. We note with interest the correlation between racism, Baptist christianty, Trumpism, and the Deep South in USA (mason/dixon). We conclude that it literally is only wealthy areas like northwest europe and maybe NY/CA in USA that are tolerant. 5 5points reply View More Replies... View more comments #17 Genetic modification.

The unfortunate common practice is that big corporations with gmo fields ensure their seed is spread into local farmers field, then they prove enfringements of these farmers using the gmo seeds without paying and in the legal battle offer a deal to take over the locals land and hire the farmers (of course really bad deals). This is no consiparcy but a very common practice, huge in underdeveloped countries especially in South America, but also happening e.g. In Germany to have farmers loose their "bio" /organic certification and driving them into bankruptcy to take over. 19 19points reply View More Replies...

My great-grandmother was an indentured servant during her childhood in Germany and suffered tremendous abuse and disregard for her life. She came to America and had kids of her own, who had an impoverished and abusive life, and on top of that, there was not only elitism, but also anti-immigrant sentiment and anti-German sentiment; but my grandfather's upbringing wasn't as tough as hers. My dad had an impoverished life, but not as difficult as his dad's. My sibling and I grew up "working poor," but now live comfortable, white collar, middle-class lives. And my kids have a access to college, access to healthcare, and, while we're certainly not rich, the kids live in comfort and have the opportunity to shape their futures, at least somewhat. In my great-grandmother's time, there was no opportunity for people of her class, and she would never have imagined her great-great grandchildren having such comfortable lives and bright futures. It's also good to see that the same promise of a brighter future is starting to come true for EVERYONE, and I'm glad that it's finally coming.

None of our current technology, starting from the very basics such as the steel we build things with, would be possible without this. To stick with this "tiny" example: I can't recall the exact number, but more than 50% of the steel types available at 2010 have been developed in the 10 years before. Steel is used in almost all machines than produce or build anything. Hence making the world around us (Even the saw blade for that wood furniture you bought). And this is only a tiny example.
