Perhaps it’s the ridiculous amount of auto tune?

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti...

I like the *idea* of pentatonix and love a cappella, but SO MUCH AUTOTUNE...

This is great... except for car keys which are monstrosities.

I guess I would just say this, as a Methodist myself: why do you believe that you *know* what God’s will is? e.g., “...anything apart from that is an abomination in God’s eyes...” and why isn’t that hubris?

And there are service fraternities that act irresponsibly and “other” fraternities that do good work and serve their members well. Any organization (fraternity or not) is capable of losing its way when their focus moves from their objectives to preserving their organization and culture.

Thanks for that image. I *had* an empty slot tonight in my little agenda book of nightmares, but now it’s filled.

No, however, one of the defined (generally-accepted socialogical definition, not dictionary) components of racism is the power dynamic. So I was responding to the specifics of this particular issue, which include a white (majority power), male (gender power), government leader (legal power).

It was ignorant and dismissive on it’s face. The racism isn’t direct.

The problem I have with this suggestion is that in my experience (here in Washington DC), it is usually HR that asks as part of pre- or post- interviews and their response to me saying “I keep that confidential” is well we’ll just find out anyway. I’m not sure this has the power you think it might.

Let me find my “shocked” face... it’s around here somewhere... I need to put it on to hide my normal “hideous” face.

Ummm...

The problem is that I’m not sure how much choice they had in going or not. The cost of taking a stand on principle are: you don’t go and get spun as being part of the problem, you don’t go and decisions are made that actually harm HBCUs (with the spin being, “you could have participated, but chose not to”), or you…

Obligatory...

Fair enough.

That’s true. Perhaps it isn’t that much of a cost.

Another point seems to me to be that this reduces the cost to the team in the outfield. Of course there is a cost to having an extra man on base, but there was also a cost to a pitchers arm in pitch counts. Now there won’t be.

Sure, but keep the blame unmixed. Blame him for his rhetoric and blame them individually for their actions and abhorrent speech. Don’t reduce their agency or accountability by linking the two.

Perhaps, but if you believe that stereotyping and generalizing those 80,000 people and treating them as sub-human is a productive way forward, go for it. But don’t act surprised when they ignore facts and rational argument to do it right back to you.

Not sure if either you or I am not understanding each other. I’m simply reacting to the “45's America!” based on one horrible comment on TigerNet. I’m not blind to the vitrol being commonly hurled around, but we’re not helping ourselves whenever we bundle large groups of individuals together and make sweeping…
