I mean for sure, but saying a country that has been colonised before is still literally part of the colonising nation kind of denies it and its people their agency. That's the problematic bit. But yeah, if they tried to be respectful for a second, the influence the US has had on SK would still be an interesting topic to discuss.

I'm not saying that there's people who become professors to spread their conservative ideas. Just like how there aren't really any people who become professors to spread their liberal ideas. Nobody would become, let alone remain, a professor if they used their platform to convince students of their ideology. What I'm saying is being highly educated in one area is absolutely not a guarantee you'll become a leftist, or even a liberal. And there's plenty of professors that will never share their political views, just how it should be. Some of them are certainly conservatives.

They already exist. They're usually found in law, business, or theology departments (though not all professors in those departments are conservatives). They also exist in departments that don't require you to apply your critical thinking skills to social issues, such as maths, IT or engineering. You wouldn't know whether your professors in those subjects are rightists, conservatives, liberals or leftists though, because politics doesn't actually ever come up in classes that aren't related to societal issues. The only way you'd find out is if a professor is obviously biased against women and/or minorities, which does happen sometimes. The people in the original post don't care about any of this though, the outrage is the entire point and the truth doesn't matter.

That is indeed the origin! https://www.etymonline.com/word/martial

Well if they give you shit about that, they just lost the right to know about your food budget (if possible). Likewise, instead of lying to your aunt, you could say that you won't eat at hers because of past experiences. It's muuuch harder in the moment, but imo worth it long term. Therapy didn't help me as much as it seems to help others, but setting boundaries is one of the things it did help me with. Is that an option for you? I'm not saying lying is unethical in your situation, it isn't. But, in my experience, it can become stressful long term, and it likely won't actually solve anything.

Do you live with family?

If not, consider that your family aren't entitled to you. If they can't behave, don't have meals with them. I did this, and when they realised I was serious, they started trying to make an effort to properly include me in meals without even making me feel like I had to eat something seperate. E.g. they never make fish when I'm visiting (the smell alone can literally make me vomit, I used to have to eat just sides in the living room on my own when they made fish when I was growing up), when they have breaded meat (meat viscerally disgusts me ever since I learned it was made of an animals muscle as a child) I get breaded veg. If they slip up we talk about it, but when they straight up disrespected me in ways similar to how your family seems to disrespect you, I wouldn't eat with them for some weeks after. They learned.

I'm from a place where car safety rules are pretty strictly enforced and e-bike and e-scooter ones are not. As someone who almost exclusively walks and uses a non-electrical bike, and rarely a (shared) moped, I see MUCH more reckless behavior from people on bikes and scooters than people in cars. That is to say, having regulations and actually enforcing them does the trick. Id love to see it with e-bikes and scooters, so more people can feel safe on sidewalks and bike paths. Ive heard a lot of people say reckless electrical riders deter them from biking and walking more.

'He and his family don't exude old money elegance' is pretty low on the list of what's wrong with Trump. I'm not even sure it's on the list at all.

My coping strategy is having ADHD in addition so autism to both routine and change are mentally painful in different ways

That aside, have you tried mentally grounding yourself by focusing on the familiar? Such as your music, how the muscles feel as you engage then, how your deodorant smells if you use a fragrant one, etc. Not a perfect solution, but it has helped me in the past.

I mean, it'll be less than 3/4 if you always stand to pee, because people pee more often than they poop (of they hydrate sufficiently and there's no health issue). But it'll still definitely be over half, so the result is the same.

Can't say for sure that nobody does, but I've never seen it. Juice mostly comes in tetra packs, like milk.

Huh I never knew! Thanks
