We've already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying.

As a neurodivergent person, I've had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying.

In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying.

How can socialism deal with this issue?

Oops!

I feel kind of silly. I spent 12-13 years knowing internally that I am a woman. I regularly "pretended" to be a woman online as a kid and teenager. I have always preferred my "feminine" features and appreciated the "feminine" side of my personality far more than the "masculine". I used the nonbinary label as a shield, protecting myself from the truth for years.

I got out of a really rough, codependent relationship in 2023. I was told a lot of really horrible things about myself that I know now aren't true, but believed at the time. A lot of things that had me examining my supposed manhood and the more toxic parts thereof. I "came out" as cis. I created the Men's Liberation community here (and proceeded to not take an active role there due to depression and... well, this.)

I read a lot about masculinity and manhood, and began using my 'maleness' as a means to get better, as a means to do better, to be better. It would allow me to more critically examine the ways I was socialized and more adequately deconstruct them. It did, for a time.

In the midst of my stint with manhood, I met a couple of people who knew the truth. Before we had even spoken to each other beyond base pleasantries, they would talk about me using she/her pronouns. After we got to talking, I felt like I could be queer again, be me again. I have found my people and my home, and in doing so I have managed to find myself again.

I am a woman. I start HRT within the week. I am so, so excited. I am a woman.

NOTE: I will repeat, I, as the crossposter, am not trans... I am merely crossposting from Sovereign State's post... I just try to give attention to it....

This dude was selling Pokemans with modified move sets for up to $80 a pop and could now face up to 5 years in prison.

Is this not insane? Or do you think he could face a much less severe sentence and the 5 years prison and $30k just the upper limit for this particular set of crime?

Maggie Thatcher's grave still has enough space for all the world's piss to cam intae! Oh, and there's the solar eclipse news at 2 PM...

How nice...

I only know this because of William Brown, an Irish admiral who led the Argentine Navy, had a song made in commemoration of him, post mortem of him, and the Malvinas War... which ol' Maggie decided to commit to, after the Argentinians took back those islas....

In his first source he cited, there were under 30,000 prisoners overall as 'total number of prisoners per year', which could just indicate the TOTAL PRISON POPULATION OF GERMANY OVERALL, NOT THE INFLOW AND OUTFLOW here...

Yet his second source states 200,000-250,000 political prisoners overall (not per year), sourced by the Deustcher Bundestag, which is West Germany's parliament speaking....

Notes: Besides the gaokao prep starting from middle school, and taking at least 12-14 hours a hour to prep for it each day and it being mentally strenuous and seemingly decisive to your career,

the narrator talks about how the Gaokao varies per province and apparently

depending on how high your city/province's GDP is, it may be easier compared to other provinces

Other than that, though, he talks more about societal issues rather than political ones, so I think he's at most, a naive Chinese lib, even considering his reddit account, which has little activity...

Also, I've heard there are other comparable hard exams which are not necessarily hard as the Gaokao, in the comments, such as Brazil and India, thoughts on that as well

If you lemmy libs want to come on here, I'll politely tell you which instance you're in and tell you to go back your mother's skirts....
