    Okay, since you really need it spelled out. The subject of the, now removed, comic was watching himself shit, something most people would only chalk up to a fetishist. Therefore he “would be proud”, a pretty fuckin common turn of phrase in English and a succinct title for a post that doesn’t give away the punchline of the actual comic.


  • It’s not cross-group. Bonobos fight with other bonobos. Intergroup conflict is settled with sex instead of violence, it’s about group cohesion.

    Example: Human pisses off their neighbor. The “advanced” human approach is to take it to court and allow the whole to decide who was in the wrong. The chimp approach is to just beat the shit out of your neighbor and take some food from his fridge to rub salt in the wound. The bonobos approach is to fuck his wife, his daughter, and his son, to which his only response will be so mad he’ll fuck you then everyone is happy because sex.

    Thanks for outlining the 100 other steps I mentioned as what should take priority over tearing down charter schools that are often the only option for kids who live in bumfuck nowhere. Oh wait no, they could get driven an hour out of the way to the public school instead by parents who definitely have that time (fat fucking /S).

    I’m not arguing against bettering public schools. I’m arguing that we have many other focuses over the many very good public charters. We should aim to match them with public schools. I also see the difference in curriculum as a failure of public schools that needs improvement and not a flaw of charter schools. Rather have a few critical thinkers getting the ball rolling on change than none at all while the public school system continues to crumble.

    Side note: literally never seen a public charter that supports “conservative values”. They’re always private because they want to keep the “wrong people” out. Fuck all private schools.

    I have a hard time with that argument against charter schools. If I’d been entirely reliant on the public school system rather than the amazing charter elementary school I went to, I probably would’ve failed on repeat. It gave me a chance to have a small class that saved me from my anxiety. To boot, the school has a focus on sustainability education, something you’d never see in public school that have to straddle a political line with their curriculum.

    It’s a lovely dream to say “everything public :D” but it’s not realistic. We need to take 100 other steps around education and in the mean time charter schools should be pretty fuckin low priority.


  • I think the problem here really is that people are using discord to fill a niche that they wouldn’t otherwise occupy if other options were as simple “make a server” (yes they aren’t actual servers but that’s not the point).

    I will concede that it’s still weird to see any FOSS communities on there.
