This is my father’s delightful YouTube choices that he listens to in classic old man style without headphones on at high volume.
I have blessedly never had a sovereign citizen video come up on my YouTube.
I look forward to going home where our YouTube choices are John Green and Crash Course History.
Instagram recently introduced me to “sovereign birth” and I deeply resent algorithms.
I don’t know what that is and I’m not sure I want to.
I too hate algorithms, unless they’re trying to get me to buy cute rabbit eared hoodie ponchos and Star Wars national park sweatshirts. That algorithm at least gets me.
It’s an extension of “free birthing” with the added sprinkle of refusing to report or document the child’s birth in any way so the Big Government doesn’t know about them.
Well that kid is fucked now good job parent… 
Ohhh. I knew about that but didn’t know there was a meme for it.
Pretty sure there are people like that where I grew up.
Interestingly, this was a leftist thing in the 60s/70s - if you don’t register your kid, s/he can’t be drafted…
its been fascinating slash alarming to watch the back to land/commune/rebirth of midwives now be the territory of the far right. But that’s what they say right? The political spectrum is a circle, go far enough to one side and you’re at the other.
I view it more as a tangled mess, but this definitely sounds like an analogy i could imagine reading in an online article
I always feel like the libertarians are where the two ends meet…
TC1: I finally dragged myself to the gym this morning for the first time in two weeks but I forgot to put on my Fitbit. How am I supposed to keep tomoagochi-me alive if wearable fitness devices don’t track it and tell me so?
TC2 and 3: Yesterday was busy and I started laundry but didn’t get around to getting it out of the dryer. After dinner I went to the dryer and it was gone, as was the basket. I thought Mr. Meer had very nicely put it all away for me. He had not. He just put it all in the basket and moved it to our room. (Okay he was going to get to it but hadn’t by the time I got to it.) Then this morning when I came back from the gym he said the trash was “done”. What he meant was, moving it from all the bins to the big bin in the garage was done and could I please take it out to the curb. Usually if he does a chore I’m not involved at all. WTF.
It featured prominently in my IB history class in high school, in particular discussing the dictators of Europe. Since the IB’s low key goal is to prevent any more dictators, it makes sense they’d emphasize the whole “either extreme end of the political compass can result in dictators and human rights abuses”
Oh no!! They also never sent me the referral gift card. I’m assuming you also never got yours?
Nope. Fuckers!
Wow, TIL!
The original concept was based on an essay titled “Educational Techniques for Peace. Do They Exist?” that came out right after WW2 ended. Founded in the 60s by social studies teachers.
And my parents wondered how they ended up with liberal children 
I realised i kind of zoned out reading this because tired plus didn’t understand. What is IB?
Sorry, international baccalaureate. Global diploma program that’s in a bunch of high schools around the world.
My oldest dd went to a school that only offered IB - it was a great fit for her.
