  • Trump’s comments on Canada prompt surge of patriotism – in a Canadian way

    Jump

  • You are right.

    Still doesn't change the fact that the US won't respect any Indigenous people if they invade.

    I guarantee you that the best approach for Indigenous people is not through working with the US.

    For the sake of Canada and Indigenous people everywhere, we must pull together to create a united front to fend off this enemy.

  • How to repair unresponsive Mega Drive/Genesis d-pad?

    Jump

  • To test it, you could try rubbing the pad with a graphite pencil. Won't be as good or a permanent fix, but if it works then you will know what the problem is.

  • Better vote in a bigger fascist to correct this.

    Reddit Forums Propose Banning X Links After Elon Musk’s Controversial Salute

    Jump

  • “X has become increasingly hateful, toxic and less and less moderated.”

    This is key to me. I know it's not because Elon has other instances of repeating Nazi, neo-Nazi, and fascist points, Twitter is such a terrible platform now that it is a no-brainer to ban it. There are other sources, let's use them.

  • Speaking of Special Ed In Schools, What Have You Seen Work?

    Jump

  • I replied to @SpaceFox@lemmy.ml, and you can find my reply here.

    Here's the things that actually helped me:

    • Teachers/authority figures making me feel heard and valued. (From ECS to Highschool graduation, I had maybe 4 teachers who really went out of their way to help)
    • Fellow students who stood up/spoke up for me (I had a group of boys corner me in the washroom and start berating me and until I broke down and started crying. A boy, who I didn't even know his name, but was accqainted with came in and stood up to the group. I will never forget what he did.)
    • Friends
    • people going out of their way to make me feel welcome (when it happened I didn't know why they were being so nice to me.)

    Things I think would have helped:

    • Knowing that it's okay to need help
    • someone telling me the things happening are not acceptable or normal

  • Special ed kids, what's it like?

    Jump

  • No idea what I was a part of, but it is special Ed adjacent.

    I was forced into a program in Jr. High because I had behavior issues (of course nothing was done to the bullies and attackers, just the person retaliating). It was like a 3 week program where they analyzed you (poorly because I knew all their testing methods and was not cooperating), stuffed you in a corner, and told you do homework for the day and then an hour for phys-ed. I stopped doing the homework after a while and just started playing my GBA.

    It was humiliating, but I will say, the kids removed from the their situations were actually really great people despite being labeled as trouble makers or problems.

    Anyways, I changed schools, and then changed schools, then got expelled and changed schools again, and eventually I graduated highschool. I then attended university and completed two programs.

    Now, over 20 years later, I am actively unpacking and working on these issues from school because I fell through the cracks and was actively punished for being a victim.
