We were taught creationism since an early age. At some point they had to teach evolution to meet government curriculum requirements, but the entire time they kept emphasising “it is just a theory!!, and there is no real evidence for it”

Oh and during the week or two when evolution was taught, suddenly all we were doing in religion class was watching videos that “debunk” evolution, and “prove” creationism

A pitiful, embarrassing dog at that

I mean, I’m aware I can simply not murder people, but I still want murdering people to be banned. (Admittedly this is a false equivalence but the point stands)

Sorry for replying to an old comment, but do you have some source to support this? I am searching online but finding nothing :(

On Reddit I’d agree, but I’m slightly more optimistic about how it would play out here

This has given me an idea. I will avoid giving my children any crystal meth, in the hopes they will become allergic to it.

Don’t be silly, you’ll obviously have your hands full defending your spleen from chipmunks, no time to dial 911

I’m not even American mate

I was also taught this in school, along with many very unscientific things. When they eventually taught us about evolution (they had to because of national curriculum) they couldn’t stop stressing how it was “just an outdated theory” and showed us additional videos which “disproved” it

Yes, by being a progression meme it implies that the final statement “there is a male loneliness epidemic” is something only arrived at by incels

It is using male loneliness as the punchline of the joke. If it is meant as “the male loneliness epidemic is the only reason I’m single” then I have no problem with that, but currently it reads as if the loneliness epidemic is an invention of incels

If this meme was focused on incel-dom then i would agree with you, but it literally states “there is a loneliness epidemic”, and trying to imply that people who are lonely are incels is outright wrong. Many men (and also women) are lonely, but not because they don’t “have the basics right”, nor do they blame women in any way. Societal loneliness is a real and growing problem that affects more than incels.

My dude, you are the one here basically claiming that the only reason men are lonely is them being bad hygiene women haters. It’s literally misogynistic.

Blaming a societal breakdown of connection and interaction on men is just as misogynistic as blaming it on women. Stop being a part of the problem.

Because it belittles male loneliness. Of course women are not the cause, but it is quite real and affects many men, including those who do not blame women at all.

If the meme ended with “why won’t women date me” or something, I think it would be fine.

Communication, as always, is key. They need to have serious proper conversations, she needs to be told pretty much everything in this post. If she is unable to communicate properly then they should try resolve whatever underlying problem is causing that (via therapy or a doctor visit or whatever). But ultimately without open communication, there is no relationship.

Cardboard boxes? That will never catch on

And here I am discussing, trying to not disregard ideas I am cynical of, and instead ask questions to gain understanding. Apparently that is discouraged here.

Thank you for the resource, next time lead with that and skip the insults.

It might be ignorant, but I certainly don’t get the impression at all that things are going well in Ukraine despite being exposed to this propaganda, nor do I see how it benefits NATO for its citizens to believe so. It seems to me that believing Russia is weak would make people value NATO less.

But thanks for stopping by to insult me for asking a question, really love that attitude.

If this is true, then who is generating the propaganda? Who does it benefit?

This is especially important in long distance relationships, where small misunderstandings or doubts can fester without the other person realising.
