While these groups are the culprit during this round, the entirely of the US government and the post secondary educational system is truly to blame. Universities have been peddling an overpriced ware to under informed children and their parents for decades. Terrifying then with the fear of losing ground in middle America while offering a product with ever decreasing value for ever increasing cost, partly because of student loans. The government has then enabled greater and greater burden upon these children and their parents by allowing special loans to groups who should never have had them, by protecting those loans from bankruptcy and by making $$ from baking interest as these groups struggled to pay. It’s a travesty. It should never have happened. Education should be free for all.
We’ll, those Tampa Swinger had to get the idea from somewhere. I was observing wildlife at a state park in FL, a place I had been going for many years. And one day I was looking to see if I could get some pictures of a manatee or two. Then I saw like 5 of them writhing about together. I started the video going on my camera, and it didn’t take long to realize what I was seeing was manatee sex. It’s The Real Florida™ out there friends.
It's just astounding to me how fragile our society is to disruption of something so short-term inconsequential.
Like, if the protests are so bad, the outcome is... canceled classes. Not even some critical function of our society in the here and now like... power production, or food production.
If this is the response to rejecting genocide, then these protests are sorely needed.
As an older millennial, I was raised my entire life being told that, if I didn't get a degree, I would have a miserable life as a trash collector or a burger flipper or a cashier somewhere. We were told by parents and schools that getting a degree was required. Funny how they exploded in price during that same time that we were being told this.
The student loan debt crisis is a crisis. It has priced millions of people out of homeownership and parenting, among other things. It is not the fault of the kids who were told that they absolutely have to go to college or they will be a failure in life. It is the fault of the government, these greedy universities, and a gullible populace of parents and business owners/employers who bought into it.
I feel you. The boomers basically went to college for free (highly federally funded universities at the time) then later voted to end all the tax based funding to universities, which made their tuition rates skyrocket at a time when the government was backing predatory student loans. So tired of my parents’ generation fucking everyone younger than them over. They will also get to retire on social security while actively trying to destroy it for the next generation.
I can see why people would be confused or concerned after seeing the manatees. The video linked in the article shows a group of several manatees in shallow water, all close together in a big heap of slowly moving indiscernible black rubbery skin. It is absolutely not clear that what’s happening is mating.
Is it legal in the US to store your guns in a nightstand or something? That’s insane.
Even so, that’s just irresponsible. It’s my duty to make sure nobody has access to my guns except if I personally give them access, after making sure they know how to handle them safely. Also, very illegal in my country, they check safe storage and if you don’t stick to it, you’ll lose your gun licence quickly.

Sadly, the protection of the 2nd Amendment by the Republican Party is a result of fear and perceived loss of control because of a rapidly changing and diversifying America and of those that intimidate and scare others into their way of thinking.
One state has strict gun lock/storage laws (Mass), a few others have laws requiring you to keep them away from minors and prohibited persons, but the majority do not. I’m guilty of haphazardly tossing mine in the nightstand. But I’m also the only human allowed in the house, not too worried about the cats getting ahold of one.
“Is it legal in the US to store your guns in a nightstand or something? That’s insane.”
Don’t restrict my freedom
“Even so, that’s just irresponsible. It’s my duty to make sure nobody has access to my guns except if I personally give them access, after making sure they know how to handle them safely.”
This is the proper way everyone should be thinking. Just don’t force it upon people
