Yeah. I was worried about the fighting against it thing. So far he seems to like speaking English, but just limited. I try to make it really cool that he speaks two languages. We also have a thing where he teaches me the local language and I teach him English, which is true since I'm not native in the local language.

Basically trying to balance pushing and being careful of being overbearing.

Yeah. I've tried to press that sometimes I don't understand when he speaks the local language. It's true because I used to not understand children in the local language, but I do now 🫣.

Honestly I think I need more non native friends with children.

Yeah, I'll do it in like a week

Why? This is a perfect opportunity to burn more of the forest without worrying about rain!

Advocates, largely driven by tribal activists along the Klamath River, have been pushing for these dams to be decommissioned for more than 20 years

I hope they are actively involved. Growing up, I was repeatedly taught how American indigenous people were much better with nature than we were. Then I was taught how we actively ignore their advice. Maybe it's time to listen.

I'm not defending transphobia. I read the news article wrong.

I thought it was saying that children who felt unsafe coming out to their parents would be given a psychologist to help them come up with a plan to deal with their family.

That's not the case, but if it was, I would possibly be supportive of that as long as conversion therapy is illegal.

"Following the rules" is a cop out. There's so many ways for the principal to "follow the rules", but protect the kids.

For example, leave a 10min voice mail where the principle reads the admissions forms line by line in monotone. It's there, and provable. The principal did in fact read line 6 of page 23 where is said "gender, with options male, female. male"

Okay. I read more and yeah it's basically the same as the US. Apologies for the misstatement

I like the idea. I'm not sure of the risk, because if you lose, then I think you have to pay the other parties legal fees.

If you started a Kickstarter and got good lawyers on board, I'd be willing to contribute. I would need to see the lawyers are well qualified though and preferably only paid if they win.

This I can get behind. It seems fallacious to believe that my choices don't contribute to global warming, but equally wrong to believe that companies haven't forced my hand.

This reminded me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy, which I hadn't considered before. This is an example when a major company absolutely forced me to make bad environmental decisions. Public transport was literally destroyed, forcing more cars on the road.

Isn't this a Bible verse?

It doesn't apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 (c). For shits and giggles would fall under that.
