Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
Hardly surprising. Yes, "cis" is being used as a slur, like "woke" has become. I've never seen "cis" as a slur. I've seen people who are offended at being called "cis", but that's not the same thing. "Woke" is a slur. ETA: "Woke" is a dero...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
Today's headline: What Does “Cis” Mean, And Is It Bad? This one is a bit topic specific. The words of the headline don't automatically scream "stupid!" Nevertheless, I sense some stupid coming. Ok, presumably they are talking about "cisgender" as opposed to "cisalpine"....

Re: Planet America
Why do you care? The same reason any of us do. Like, say, you. Why do you think you care? We're interested in something about a story, and we want our version to be acknowledged as the correct one More specifically, on this specific story, I often take an interest in any story that I see where the ...

Re: Planet America
Oh yeah. I read that article. He (Seth Sorenson) was lying. Oh, well that settles that then. :roll: What settles it is the evidence that can be found on the internet. After I read the article you posted, and another one from the same day, I posted my previous posts that said something very weird wa...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
Not one specific headline, but rather, anything with "expert" in the headline.
I saw three articles in a row today that sais what experts say. Oddly enough, the experts said things that agreed with the bias of the author. "Experts say I am always right."

No evidence of 'furries' in Nebo School District despite allegations, social media firestorm Oh yeah. I read that article. He (Seth Sorenson) was lying. There was lots of evidence. There were masks, not just animal ears. There was indeed food thrown, not because of animal ear headbands, but because...

Re: Planet America
It has been about 48 hours since I read anything really new about that middle school. So here's what, in my opinion, makes it worthy as a "Planet America" story. First and foremost, everything is political. A junior high drama goes national. It turns out the guy who made the protest video ...

Re: Planet America
it's not a "one size fits all" fantasy. but it's an obvious ingredient...and close to home. Yeah, one size does not fit.all. I knew some kids who went to traditional schools, public or private, and did really well. In all seriousness, it's true that there are some great coutcomes for peop...
