In Sierra Leone, a cheap, synthetic drug is ravaging youth. Trash-strewn alleys are lined with boys and young men slumped in addiction. Healthcare services are severely limited. One frustrated community has set up what it calls a treatment center, run by volunteers. But harsh measures can be used....
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany would not prohibit Ukrainian attacks on Russian military targets, saying Ukraine “is allowed to defend itself.”...
I was coming in here to suggest this. The right around the world, almost certainly with the aid of Russia’s massive troll farm, has really stepped up its game in terms of internet outreach to young people.
You know, CNN… I’m American. I don’t really know the Celsius temperature scale all that well. But at least wait until the body before you assume I’m too stupid or lazy to just look it up. Either that or just use Fahrenheit in the headline.

It really doesn’t. But then I looked through your comment history and I’m not really interested in what lessons someone who promotes the fossil fuel industry and Facebook might want to teach.
Ah, you’re doing the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” thing. Let’s go through your previous statement and show all the personal attacks and lies, shall we?
Can you link whatever comment(s) you misread to mean anything like that? Also thanks- weirdly flattering you’re that obsessed with me [Personal attack and lie]
Also not saying this is what’s happening but your behavior seems exactly like what you’d expect from someone that identifies as socially enlightened but knows they just got called on casual bigotry. [Personal attack] Extreme defensiveness and attacking the credibility of the person that made the challenge. Just saying you fit the profile pretty exactly. [Personal attack]
But that could be a good sign. You’ll never admit to me what you learned about yourself today [Lie, I learned nothing about myself from you] but a decent person will learn and make adjustments anyway. I think there’s still a chance you’re a decent person and will do just that after you get over being angry at me.[Lie.]
I’ll just start flagging you for the personal attacks and lies, shall I?
You can call it whatever you like. It is not against the community rules to say something untrue in a comment and we mods do not have the time to vet every flagged comment for veracity.

Yes, an assumption you have no evidence to back up.
You think that because you personally haven’t heard of something, HR people in major companies have never heard of it when the fact is, they’re probably hiring people from all over the world and, because of that, have heard of one of the worlds most well-known and prestigious universities.
It’s been around since the 13th century. It was the alma mater of Marie Curie and Simone de Beauvoir (perhaps you’ve also never heard of them). According to Wikipedia, its scientists have won 33 Nobel prizes and 6 Fields medals.
So basically you’re saying that HR people in major companies don’t understand how to do their jobs because of something you personally have never heard of.
