I’m too scared of making the jump and screwing up in the process.

I suspect that many states simply will sacrifice the education division within their budgets in order to pursue other “ventures”.
PixelatedCleric@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•*Permanently Deleted*English112·4 months agoDunno, kid’s got a point.
Edit: that being said, this looks more of a cry for help than anything. Maybe check if they have some sort of situation going on.

It’s a complicated situation, many people were upset due to the status consultation process being used as fear mongering for some national concerns and as leverage to have people vote a certain way to “guarantee the right choice” by multiple political parties.
This reason is why so many people abstained from voting in these last two.
I personally don’t believe Congress will ever grant statehood to Puerto Rico, but my opinion is hardly relevant to this particular situation.
Tldr of why I didn’t vote is very simple. If Congress won’t acknowledge the multiple results of past referendums and the local parties use the referendums for fear mongering…not a worthwhile effort.
I understand your point, but at the end of the day those that vote are the ones that “count”. I personally am one of the many that didn’t vote in those referendums due to feeling insulted by them.
The general consensus of this is that why would you vote in this when it won’t change anything? Congress didn’t approve it, so nothing will come out of it. There are some other reasons, of course, but this one of the most common ones.
We have tried to vote and indicate whatever desire we have for statehood or independence. Y’all (as in US Government, not citizens) just use the results to wipe your asses.
Slight edit: I’m Puerto Rican

PixelatedCleric@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about Earl Silverman, a domestic abuse survivor who founded a shelter for men.

Men suffer too, and this kind of bullshit makes it harder for y’all to get help…

PixelatedCleric@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Books@lemmy.ml•Do you guys have any book reading goals for next year?English1·2 years agoI usually stick to shorter books due to my attention span, but that’s a good approach to tackle bigger tomes. What kind of genre do you like?
PixelatedCleric@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Books@lemmy.ml•Do you guys have any book reading goals for next year?English2·2 years agoI like the idea of the goal being to read every day, even if it is a bit. I might try that this year!

🫠 Worst of all was when one of them showed up on International PEACE Day.
Is this legit??? First I hear of it.
