I would like simple explanations for simple things.
The world is on fire. How do we stop the burning?
And people are given clear answers about what THEY can do.
- recycle
- try to compost
- provide cheap or free home testing kits so the public can test water and soil at home
- tell people what kind of habitats animals and beneficial insects need to survive * how to deal with everyday life conundrums
For reals: If evolving insects can’t become beneficial to humanity, they at least need to evolve an instinct to evolve somewhere else.
I feel like these predatory insects are popping up because they’re the result of the ones who can’t change breeding together and producing hyper-aggressive offspring.
We the public would like to know what we should do if we come across various nests of things.
When the summer is hot and dry, we get a ton of wasps and flies. They burrow in the hot sand of a nearby lot. And then their babies grow up and go in search of food and mates.
There’s nothing like clipping an overgrown yard and having a dozen buzzing aggressive things rushing at your face.
So even suggestions of what to grow to attract bees but deter wasps would be wonderful.
I wish there was a Horrible Histories-type show that explained everyday things. Because I am finding that there are a lot of people that don’t know nothing out there and it’s causing me to question my own handle on things.
I miss Mister Rogers. He could have explained the world today to the kids and we’d have more people living longer healthier lives.
As it is, we are all scrabbling in the dark with only grifters and zealots to “guide” the way.
Tell me how to lift this stain! And explain why the regular household ingredients are performing their magic!
TEACH ME SOMETHING.
That’s my approach to movies and TV.
I’m getting angry at all the misinformation.
Yes, Helen Keller was blind and deaf. Yes, she learned to sign by touch. Yes, she went to school. Yes, she had a full life.
And yes, her life was used as proof that deaf and blind people have a right to exist. That they have lives to live.
The atrocious treatment of people with disabilities was used as an excuse for the development of eugenicist ideals.
“Well, if that was me…” mentality is the modern eugenics. But back in the day, they REALLY believed that there was nothing to be done for children with disabilities. And as a result, a lot of corporal punishments and caging tactics were used.
Children were treated like violent animals and kept caged by their parents. They were handed off to questionable facilities for examination and housing (in a time when there were no time limits on straight jacket use or really any oversight).
There needed to be some governance on the situation.
There needs to be governance on the situation.
There should not be so many documentaries about real life “camps”/training centers/academies where children are sent to be abused.
Parents are trusting their children to the kinds of camps that believe in “tough love.” Run by the kinds of people that believe violence against a child is okay as long as it’s in the pursuit of changing a basic facet of their identity.
I don’t want to get deep…
But yeah, there needs to be some oversight over the various shady programs out there. Because I’m tired of listening to the accounts of traumatized people.
Is there no licensing requirement to run a children’s camp?
I remember as a kid, they’d take the whole school out into the field and there’d be all kinds of educational or exercise-related games. Some games were by grades, but there were ones where you’d play side-by-side with an older kid. And everyone was just able to have fun.
There would be lessons for the whole grade. We’d all gather somewhere and learn about fish and sharks and leaves and we’d do various projects.
I don’t know when children stopped getting that fun kind of education. The plays willing to visit a school gymnasium. The snake handler willing to volunteer his time. The people teaching historical songs and giving accurate history lessons.
Because they missed out they deserve a fun show aimed at teens and adults that explains things in a clear and concise yet entertaining manner.
And maybe some of us out there need a recap or a reset if they were fed false information.
A fun edutainment show to watch would be helpful to a lot of people.
- bleach and ammonia = no mix
- too much spinach is unhealthy, so substitute something like kale, which takes longer to cook
-
don’t eat lizards
- basic law
- copyright law
- privacy laws
- “This kind of behavior results in public censure” lessons
I’m a simple person. I want simply to be provided with useful information. Thank you very much.
