Err... CGTN? > CGTN is a state-run foreign-language news channel based in Beijing, China. It is one of six channels provided by China Global Television Network, owned by the Chinese state broadcaster China Central Television, under the control of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party

The issue here is 'being intolerant of intolerance' requires you to decide what is and isn't intolerant.

Let's take affirmative action for example. Giving people whose grandparents were negatively impacted by unjust laws more opportunities than other people.

Opposing this is not 'intolerance', it's an opinion in a debate about whether that is actually fair. It's an active debate and one side is trying to shut down opposition to their political goals and force their kids to say they're right

Trying to close all debate and push a narrative isn't democratic, it's authoritarian and one of the most common tools to oppress and control

Many people believe what they teach works toward equality for all citizens, many people believe it undermines equality.

Regardless, teaching one side of a current controversy as fact in mandatory school is manipulation.

Excuse me, if being against abortion rights is far-right, most of the right is far-right

> A very oversimplified pro argument: if it wasn't for slavery, these families would have generational wealth and better social situations. African Americans in the US ARE disproportionately lower wealth/income and this has CLEAR historical origins.

I'm confused by the pro argument. My known lineage was not enslaved, but my grandparents immigrated with 0$, and my family has no generational wealth and we don't receive reparations.

Isn't being freed from slavery the same as being freshly immigrated with 0$?

Furthermore, there are tons of Asian immigrants that come from a third world country with virtually nothing, but become top earners because of their cultural values of education and filial piety

For me, it's reading words like 'centre' and 'colour' or 'practise' because I can't help but read them as 'sen-trey', 'col-ore' and 'prac-tize'

> Soooooo I’m guessing your nieces and nephews swear whenever they want, they’re just careful not to do it when dad is around to hear it.

My point is this isn't even a bad thing. As long as they learn to not swear around certain people (like dad), then that's what you want

"The slow and difficult return of justice" and the current regime ruling China are not two things most people would ever put together

Except isn't them learning that there are certain people (like dad) to not swear around the whole goal?

I've been using helix a while, and compared to vim, the bindings are not as time-efficient as vim bindings are, but I just can never get LSP to work quite right at neovim, so I use helix for code

Isn't it more in the interest of conquering rather than exterminate and destroy? If Ukraine were to surrender, I don't think Russia would continue to kill them all.

You might be a rarity here. I've never heard of anyone using the menu key, and most don't even know what it is.

I'm honestly kind of curious how you use it. In my experience, almost anything on the menu it opens has a common shortcut

The same calculations can be performed by an abacus. What is doing the calculation is irrelevant. The question is what the calculation is

As a speaker of English, and Spanish, which has the adjectives after, I feel like putting the adjectives first is more expressive.

"A hot, juicy chicken leg" would sound less exciting if it was said "A chicken leg, hot, juicy" because the listener would first imagine the wrong chicken leg.
