  • Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

  • Israel must be destroyed, this is abhorrent.

  • Thanks Blaze. It's empty at the moment but I've got some ideas for posts to start making over the next few.

  • I used to play as female characters because the guys never had good customisation, "Oh I can be buzzcut Shepard or crewcut Shepard. Hmmmm".

  • Indonesian teachers paid $170 a month as education funds go to free meals

    Jump

  • Re-directing 1/3 of education funds to go towards it is ridiculous. They could add to the budget, create new funds, or re-direct from something useless like the military.

  • PieFed 1.6 is released - pronouns, private communities, quote posts and much more

    Jump

  • I don't know how you do, so much so often. Thank you for everything Rimu and other PieFed dev's who names I haven't memorised!

  • The pipeline is real and it's happening to me in my 40s?

    Jump

  • So is that why my favourite sci-fi characters are Captain Janeway, Samantha Carter, and Ripley? Hmm even Buffy.

    Okay I've certainly got a thing with strong women, especially when wearing tank tops now that I think about it.

  • But think of the landlords!

  • Thanks for the detailed list! How can I find the owners corp and annual fee, do I have to ask the agent or is there a site?

    Main place I'm looking at is in West Footscray, and I've been living around here for 10 years now. Happy with the locale and it's close to P/T and I can walk to work 😊

  • Google Maps shows the building I'm eyeing having existed since 2014. I can see scaffolding on the 2022 photos, seems to have had some exterior work done to the whole complex.

  • I’m looking at buying an apartment for my own living needs. It’s my first time doing this. What sort of things should I be looking for during inspections and what questions should I ask?

  • Nice!

  • Record 10,500 Tibetan students taken to schools in China in 2025 as Sinicization drive intensified

    Jump

  • So you’re in favour of the cultural genocide of China? Or is re-education through labor just a fun weekend activity that people volunteer to do since Mao?

    China has a long and active history of slavery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_China

  • Zohran Mamdani achieves unexpected early victory

  • In my country the government funds all 3 models for free for ages 3-5, albeit limited to a few days a week.

    The service we provide is leagues above what state run centres are offering (and obviously for profits). A purely state run model is not the ideal as the state has a terrible understanding of education, focusing on metrics instead of each child’s needs.

  • I work for a not for profit. Our focus is on quality education and care, not profit seeking or getting parents back into the workforce.

  • It's the period where the brain is doing the most development. You learn more in the first few years than at any other stage in life. As such we are able to set in motion a lifelong passion for creativity, exploration, and learning. Basic skills such as social interaction, picking up multiple languages, transferring or adapting prior knowledge to new situations, persisting through a challenging situation, etc. Not to say this can't be taught later in life, but it's so much easier at this age.

  • As an early childhood educator, I’m always wary of government attempts at this. Shame the article doesn’t mention any more.

    Does it come with increased benefits for the overworked, underpaid educators or does it add more children into an already struggling sector?

    What are the curriculum requirements/framework like?

    Is it paying for profit centres to do it for free and get paid a set sum by the state or is it state run centres?

    We’re not just a place to dump children while families work. It’s the most critical education period a child will ever go through.
