Agreed that this is stupid and unnecessary. It’s as if they were trying to find controversial things where they don’t exist so they can very publicly fix them and show how sensitive they are.
I can agree with some of the justifications but whitelist/blacklist I will never understand. I have yet to see a valid argument since the term is not by nature racist or specifically pointing out the racism in America. I just had a discussion with my wife on how when using these terms in tech it has been more of an…
I always thought of it as this:
What a cesspool of attempted projective control. Where is common courtesy and consideration toward those confused by the cross-currents of passing fancy and tradition?
Is it odd that made me snicker?

A) This is one of the dumbest etiquette takes I’ve ever read. If you want to infer what I mean by my text that’s on you. If you are seriously concerned with what I mean, ask me.
It’s a short easy way to say, I read and acknowledge your text. What nut thinks would see OK or K and think “how rude”?

Phillips did not “enter the space between them” - he explicitly said on CBS News that he walked into the high school group to prevent them from harassing the poor innocent black protesters. The fact that those black protesters were using vile, homophobic, racist language is downplayed by you,…
As they were a large group a school trip, they were probably limited in their ability to just walk away.
Without questioning whether the kid acted as awfully as portrayed, I must say that the lead speaker in the “Black Israelite cult,” without a doubt a fully grown man, comes off as the most vile, inflammatory person in the video.
Stupid, Sweden tried it and it failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_financial_transaction_tax
Actually yeah...
except the country elected Republicans and this stupid debacle just made sure they’ll elect more in November.
This show is phenomenal. The latest episode, where Kevin Costner discovers a smarter than the average bear has been stealing pic-a-nic baskets, might be one of the most intense, thrilling things aired on television.
Well, they were considering it. Until the WW2 dividend ended (the US had competition again), growth crashed, and it became apparent that the tax rates were moronic.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Eliminate corporate welfare and create true campaign reform.
