as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

    We needed in schools to be teaching how to pick out real news from fake news.

    Obviously there are issues with education in this country but it’s always an easy scapegoat for these kinds of issues. Plenty of states have skills like this in their common core, I would venture to say you’re incorrect on that point.

      Fair enough I graduated in the early 90s at that time we didn’t have it. At least not at the level that I felt that we should’ve. If I’m wrong on that, then I apologize.

        No worries, you just hear a lot of misguided criticisms of the education system a lot of which are based on anecdotal experiences. I wish everyone would keep tabs on what kids are learning and have a more hands on approach to curricula.

          So what you are saying is I should be volunteering for the geography classes to help reinforce the flat earth ideals? 😁

            Oh fucking christ, a flat-earther. You people are even worse than the fucking round-earther scum on this platform.

            I swear you people will never accept a velociraptor-shaped earth, prolly cuz your brains just aren’t big enough to process the geometry.

            Edit: I really hoped the /s would not be necessary…

                Dude, I suggested the earth was shaped like a velociraptor.

                No, I didn’t miss the joke

                Edit: Did YOU miss MY incredibly obvious joke? xD
