There are still many thousands of people alive today who were sent to segregated schools and redlined out of safe neighborhoods.

Last year my friend got sued for operating a swim school in her backyard, so her lawyer pulled up the bylaws of her neighborhood. One of them was that only a white person is eligible to buy property there. Still on the books.

There are simply no difficult moral decisions. You run through a stage, whack demons with your little weapons, and then the stage is over and you're totally bloodless and that fucktard Bellana makes a little quip that Josh Whedon himself would be embarrassed about. And then you do it again. And that's the whole fucking gameplay loop.

It seems like renaming all the mountains and rivers is exactly the kind of issue that will drive a base to the polls. People will cast their vote specifically to piss off their next-door neighbor by metaphorically spray-painting "Team Red" or "Team Blue" over Lake Superior.

I do agree that we've gone far too long without acknowledging the Big Tits Range in our native tongue.

Sure the restaurant can save on labor and printing costs. And they can use software tricks to increase profitability by recommending purchases and all sorts of other psychological tricks that are harder to do with a paper menu, but what benefit does it give me as a customer?

It makes the menu searchable, so if it's long, you can instantly look up whether they have a particular thing. Some restaurants also allow you to see the nutrition facts by clicking on a menu item, which is very helpful if you're dieting. Also, the restaurant can update the menu in real time, so you never have to order and hear "Oh, we're out of that," and have to browse the menu from the beginning. You can also see the day's specials instead of having a waiter come over and monologue to you and your date for five full minutes.

Harvard is where rich familes send their kids to meet other rich kids.

It's never been about education. It's always been about networking. We've all had a few hundred-million-dollar ideas in our lifetimes, but lacked the resources to implement them. If you go to Harvard, your roommate's dad will invest the resources to implement them.

"Woke" was how the rich networked over the last decade, and we're now drifting into a new era; but Harvard is still where you go to meet the rich and become accepted as one of them.

Global warming what by Brewdabier in whatever

Yeah, that's American politics for you. The Democrats use climate alarmism as a power grab, and the Republicans use idiotic climate denialism as a power grab, and right now, denialism has grabbed the power.

The unfortunate truth is that global warming is very real and there's absolutely no way humans are going to stop it from continuing to happen. We're going to take ancient carbon out of the ground and put it into the sky until the Earth is much, much hotter and Florida no longer exists; and there is no country, or politician, or treaty, or system of policies, or anything of the sort, that can stop it. It is inevitable.

It is not a lie. Neither Trump nor Biden nor Harris have anything to do with the price of eggs.

Yes, the Federal Reserve controls the money supply and thus affects the rate of inflation. But the supply of eggs is independent of the rate of inflation, which is why eggs have gone up in price at 30 times the rate of inflation. And the Federal Reserve is independent from the President. If it were to become partisan, that would be an unmitigated disaster.

I suggest you stop conceptualizing presidents as gods; it's incredibly unhelpful.

I think it's the right call. Google is right; every day is designated as like ten different holidays. For example, today (February 10) is designated as:

  • All The News That's Fit To Print Day

  • Children's Hospice Day

  • International Cribbage Day

  • International Epilepsy Day

  • National Cream Cheese Brownie Day

  • National Flannel Day

  • National Home Warranty Day

  • Valentismus

...and like 10-15 others.

No one wants all that shit on their calendar.

Over the last decade, Google selectively picked some inclusivity-themed events to promote because that was the culture of the time. I found it annoying then and I'm glad it's over.

I just hope we don't overcorrect too much. I'm really worried we're overcorrecting really hard right now.

FEMA still sending millions to hotels to house migrants. Why have they not been deported yet? Why is ice raiding single family homes and ignoring these hotels? by Canbot in conspiracy

[–]Hematomato 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Why have they not been deported yet?

Because they're not here illegally. They didn't sneak over the border. They presented themselves to border patrol and said "We're seeking asylum from persecution and fear of torture."

At that point they're given a court date for their asylum case, and then the border patrol lets them go. They aren't criminals; they're potential asylees awaiting their hearings.

For obvious reasons, we don't want to just say "Okay, go find somewhere to sleep and something to eat, I guess." So Congress budgeted money for FEMA to put them up in hotels while they await their court date.

Inflation is when money becomes worth less than it was. It affects all commodities equally.

In 2019, a carton of eggs cost $1.00. Now one costs about $7.00.

We have not had 700% inflation in the last six years. In reality it's been about 24%. The reason that egg prices have increased at nearly 30 times the pace of inflation is simply their limited supply right now.

That's not really a legal option, but the key question is: if you have a monopoly on violence, what incentive do you have to follow the law? Any time someone says "that's not legal," you can answer "these soldiers say it is."

It's not like Trump's shown a lot of interest in following the law in the past. He is, after all, our only President to be a convicted Felon.

Trump can't "quash" a judicial order, but he can certainly ignore it. The judges have no army or police or any other kind of enforcement mechanism.

In actual reality, neither Trump nor Biden nor Harris have anything to do with the price of eggs. The price of eggs is set by the market - supply and demand.

Trump and Vance lied to us and said the price of eggs was Harris's fault and that they'd bring food prices down on Day One.

They obviously failed at that, so liberals are now sarcastically blaming Trump for the price of eggs.

I'm always amused when people say that a judge's ruling is "illegal," given that judges' rulings are literally what decides what is and isn't legal. Legally speaking, they are the final word on what is and isn't legal.

What the article almost completely fails to mention is that there were no beavers in the Brdy region seven years ago. The whole region had been a Nazi base, and then a Soviet one, and then fell into ruin, and nature started reclaiming it, and the beavers showed up to repopulate the area only about five years ago.
