I think you misunderstood. They are saying Trump and those in his cult/admin are a danger to everyone and everything. Do you think the MAGA movement isn't a threat to indigenous groups, animals, or nature at large? Just the way they've already attacked environmental protections should show they check every checkbox.
As someone mentioned, it's because Latinas rather than Latinos. Some people have used Latinx or something similar to denote both, but I saw some backlash on that and am not sure if it's preferee. Anyway, historically Latinos denotes either male or just general pop, kinda like mankind does in English.
Latinas on the other hand is specifically feminine, so it's like "mothers against drunk driving" type organizations, specifically named to signify that it's women. so they weren't being sexist, just responding to the specificity in like manner.
Defamation isn't criminal, so usually just financial, and even then it can be hard to take money sometimes. See Alex Jones 1.5B defamation loss and how much he's not complying.
Except earlier it said to have no idols. The cross is an idol. You can appreciate a sacrifice without using the tool that caused such sacrifice as a form of worship. If your father jumped in front of you and died to a gun shot, he sacrificed his life to save you and you would be appreciative. Would you then wear a gun necklace around your neck to show you love your dad and the sacrifice he made for you? By sanctifying his murder weapon?
Oh, it seems I said it in a way that sounded like all my teachers were like that. Not so. I meant I only remember the passionate ones. My 8th grade science teacher, my 10th grade chemistry teacher, my high school sociology teacher, my 11th grade American History teacher and my 11th and 12th grade Electronics teacher are the only ones I have significant memories of.
They were all passionate teachers that loved teaching, not just following a program or book. They taught with experiments, examples, etc. Even when I did things wrong. For example, the 8th grade science teacher. One experiment had us making H20 and NaCl from HCl and NaOH. We'd mix the HCl with a glass stirrer, and I started putting it in the Bunsen burner's flame making it blue.
Teacher caught us and had us stay after class. But instead of just a punishment or lecture, they instead brought out a bunch of dangerous to burn items including magnesium and gave us protective gear, then demonstrated why putting random things in fire was bad. It was an excellent and very fun way to teach us a lesson.
The few teachers I actually remember were all enthusiastic about their subjects.
Edited for clarity.
One placed laid me off. I was a senior telecom/network admin in IT, so while I wouldn't have due to personal morals, I definitely had potential to, with even just my badge access.
They gave me about 3 weeks, with no access. They told me I was gone officially at the end of the month and my would be paid normally until then, after which severance would kick in, but don't come in.
I think that's a fine way to do it.
An important thing us people at 40 have to keep in mind is tech advances and gets better all the time. The cordless vac I have now works great for being portable and usable in our townhouse, which has no carpet.
Would a good corded vacuum be better? Depends on the terms. It'll be better max performance, bit I don't have to lug a heavier vacuum upstairs to clean stuff in my room, and what I have works.
As a photography hobbyist, it's like saying why take a picture with a phone camera, m43, or apsc when you could use full frame or medium format? The cameras are objectively better quality pictures, but they are more expensive and larger, especially when it comes to lenses. Sometimes convenience is "better."
An interesting flaw with the sugar studies with rats is that it required limiting the amount of sugar available. They did act like addicts when the sugar was presented to them intermittently then taken away, but when they had full free access to it, they no longer binged on it and didn't have addictive traits. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4361030/#%3A%7E%3Atext=Rats+with+ad+libitum+access%2Cand+by+avidity+for+alcohol.
Because of this, some suggest the studies are actually arguments against hyper limited diets, instead of in support. Part of an argument on that is that it's harder for us keep up something we dislike for a long period of time, whereas making smaller changes we can adapt to keeps our enjoyment and can still change behavior over time.
Anecdotal: I stopped drinking soda, cut down on sweets and juice etc a while ago(10-15 years?). I still have sweets from time to time, but the general feeling is I feel many things are too sweet, and I prefer lighter sweetness. I still like it somewhat, but soda tastes like syrup, and I generally just feel like less, but I don't exclude it completely or anything.
The only person I've had this reaction from was a genx man yelling that he wasn't being emotional but instead logical. Said man did the standard co.plain about wife and say women are emotional, and also argued that animal abuse shouldn't be punishable by law because animals don't have souls.
Some people just need to vent to coworkers about mild shit. They do care about bullying, at least some, but they can still vent. If they aren't taking it out on the students, not punishing them or complaining to parents, it's perfectly fine to vent to coworkers.
I do IT work and I vent about customers, but I still love helping people, and I don't let anything I find weird or annoying about them affect my level of service. Just yesterday I was chatting with my coworker about people asking us to shortcut minor issues (reducing a two click process to one click). It seems minor to us, and seems like a waste of time, but if they do that process 600 times a day that's 600 clicks instead of 1200. So we grumble to ourselves but we still do it.
