So next week my 2 yo's sons kindergarten are planning a zoo trip. Apparently they will be talking about it before and after. It costs the kids nothing and the teachers tickets are coming out of a collective fund we already paid money into. My wife really wants him to go, she grew up not being able to go to a lot of school trips due to growing up in foster care/neglect and really fears him getting ostracized. She says she knows what it was like to not go and it really comes close to her trauma so its not really a subject I can argue against. The teachers obviously recommend going, so I'm all alone in saying no. I would stay home, perhaps prepare our own outing and look into talking about animal liberation but I feel so alone in it. My wife gave me the option to veto the trip even though she really wants him to go.

There really is not much more to argue between us too, my focus is animal liberation, hers is how not partaking in some activities alienates one from society. And in a society based on animal oppression a lot of activities require some form of animal oppression. I don't know how this contradiction is going to resolve and it's making me very anxious.

How do you cope with the feeling of loneliness? Do you have good kid friendly material relating to animal liberation? What could be a good alternative for us that day? What if I just gave in? I can't do this for every zoo/farm outing anyway.

Profit. It's the hot news story right now and every detail can get harvested for views and therefore ad revenue. That's all there is to it.

saw horses today (hexbear.net)

Walked by a lot of pastures and some of them had horses. Even saw three horses being led by someone right by us. Kid was excited, I'm sad. That's the post. Wish my wife could commit to being vegan... We both don't know how to approach it with our kid though.

Never forget that what made biden unelectable was not his genocide but a bad tv performance.

The NIH study into the mysterious illness has only stoked animosity among victims, some of whom claim the CIA made them participate as a prerequisite for obtaining care at Walter Reed.

“They wanted us to be a lab rat for a week before we actually got treatment at Walter Reed — and at bare minimum that is unethical and immoral,” said Polymeropoulos, who believes that this was “ordered” by senior leadership at the agency.

No diagnosis! Only treatment! only-throw

The last weeks have been really stressful and my exam prep suffered greatly, the last two days I was catatonic with anxiety, I was going through the options of whether it's better to pass with a bad grade or to throw and get more prep time (and more stress) for another attempt.

Well the questions were absolute softballs, compared to what I was preparing. My anxiety kept tripping me up so the prof had to give me hints otherwise I would have scored even higher! So even through all the sicknesses, the current high levels of stress and sickening anxiety and 4 hours of sleep I got freaking 85%!

Also in large parts thanks to my wife who basically carried me through this period.

This kid is reaching levels of cuteness that might give me a heart attack. He cant purse his lips so he puts his hand over his mouth and then extends it forward while making a smacking sound and then delights in all the adults around him losing any sense of propriety or dignity aahing and oohing and trying to get him to send them kisses as well lol

Then he shits himself. I love him so much.

I find it fascinating that the Marshall-plan here is blatantly sold as the US wanting to expand their market. That's what I was told as a selling point for the Marshall-plan, that one of the reasons for WW2 was because the germans were very angry after being poor because of the reparations of WW1. But the US being smart recognized that it was better to placate the germans with treats and have a greater market than to rip out all the machinery and leave us poor. Like what the soviets did, because they obviously weren't as smart or whatever. Like genuinely that's what I was told.

Even as a teen I recognized that that line is bullshit at best. What kind of flex is "The US were smart to give us treats and keep us as vasalls or else we might have done another holocaust"????? How can you tell on yourself like this, how stupid are our "educators"???????

Be grateful the very idea of “Germany” wasn’t razed to the ground and scattered to the wind after your dear leader escorted himself out of the premises

As someone who has to live here, I'm not. I wish it was. There is nothing about being german that I find appealling and wouldn't cast off in moment given the chance. And no this isn't some self-flagellation, I genuinely cannot think of a reason for why I might want to continue to associate myself with this country if I had an alternative.

This article

is what finally put in words what I had always vibed and was the final nail in the coffin of what might have constituted a sense of attachment to my nationality.

We are moving backwards from "Capitalism is a necessary evil because of human nature" to "Capitalism is the only good form of economy".

But when other countries outside of international-community-2 do it, it gets coverage to really hammer home how disingenuous their dictators are and how their country really is just terrible, those poor 3rd worlders having to live like this, if only they could become smart and have a liberal democracy and join our rules based international-order.
