And I’m telling your your suspicion is unfounded, which you don’t seem to like hearing?

That’s not my problem, but hey.

Note, I’m not saying that a teacher CAN’T be learning disabled. I’m saying you’re equating two different things. This may amaze you but it’s also possible to be both learning disabled and informed.

I’m not telling you what you think. I’m aware of what you think, because you said it. I’m telling you it’s without basis. The underlying assumption is that ignorance of one’s field indicates learning disability. I’m telling you it does not.

I’m glad you don’t think that’s worse, tho. In that case I’m not sure how I’ve…

Yes, you’re giving me more examples of ignorance.

Not disability.

I don’t think you got my point but that seems to be because you’re reading my comment as a defense.

Do you think being disabled is *worse* than being willfully ignorant in one’s field?

And isn’t keeping it? So? Your point?

Clearly it wasn’t worth it to her.

“I hope they get scared of being bullied for asking for help” is a weird lesson to hope for.

So, you had a teacher who was ignorant.

Anyone can be ignorant.

You mean when people were real quick to believe that based on nothing?

“Looking to sue a company because you put their glue in your hair kinda makes her an asshole” Good thing she never did that, then!

Also of course the point may be to not actually do it but to shame/scare her into silence.

It is a dumb idea, but it’s exactly what an abuser would do, and to some degree it would work because people would in fact turn on her. Not saying he would come out ahead, but misogyny and slut/victim-shaming are powerful.

The fact that I was even here when I was in the first place—kind of a hint there.

I understand that you might be able to vote and then never think about this again, but that’s not actually how it works for all of us.

“I disagree. You could presuppose that he did it, and make your decision accordingly.” So that’s...that’s what I just said. That’s one way to make that decision. Plenty of people do treat allegations this way; when you’re an ordinary person not making decisions for the criminal justice system, it’s perfectly valid.

For…

I am absolutely aware of the importance of the election and am unsure why you’re explaining it to me like I’m a little girl. I was actually conscious for the last nine months, amazingly.

Whether or not this happened also, amazingly, remains an independent question. It may ultimately be unanswerable. However, whether or…

No no no, they don’t care about children abuse by their *parents*! Children are parental property, dontcha know. They only care about trafficking because it’s theft.

Honestly, I voted for Biden and I think it’s hard to defend a different choice, but I also think it’s weird that this conversation automatically became about whether to vote for him, and not, you know, the actual issue at hand.

Because that’s the only possible way someone could have a different view than you.

There’s multiple respectable options, honestly, but this is not one of them.

You know that people can choose to vote for Biden and still be bothered by this, right?

Using this tone and then calling other people “ghouls” is a bit much.

If it’s true, then who cares why it’s being pushed? I’m not saying it is true. I really don’t know. But that seems like the more pertinent question than “Do Russians want us to think it is?”
