Bankers and other embezzlers? Those people did ruin the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands if not more people. They managed to cause a great deal of stress and pain without inflicting violence, and may have even robbed people of food etc.

Id say thats pretty fucked up - and affects a great deal of people very much.…

Yeah their the first person view have been effed for a while (dunno about Ghosts tho) - so many times there will be a sniper behind something - and only a sliver of the top of his head would be visible and yet they could still establish line of sight and aim and fire - even though their face and weapon should be…

Random Q for chemists or maybe sports medicine people out there...

Could gender disparities be caught in the course of normal PED testing as well? I would imagine that certain hormone levels and other markers that they test for normally could also be a fairly reliable indicator for gender.

I suppose I can see that. Thanks though, I was actually looking for an earnest response - because I dont really know what its like to see this (or experience anything really) through someone else's eyes, especially someone whose experiences may diverge considerable from my own.

This is also why I say that the OP has an argument that he could probably argue well.

I just respectfully disagree with his opinion.

Also, I said that being so directly affected probably affects his inherent BIAS, not that it invalidates his opinion. There is a huge difference between the two. I even mention how my own…

I was actually agreeing with you and just sort of joking - since this is a pretty complicated subject - so much so most adults probably only kinda understand it.

In this case though I would posit that the teacher probably already had an idea of what the class SHOULD think - and presented/discussed said info in a way…

3rd graders understand complexity and nuance right?

There is no problem with NPR (I actually love them, though I am the jerk that listens and has yet to contribute) - that doesnt mean that these kids formed these opinions on their own accord though...

This teacher presented and discussed this piece with her class (without NPR's knowledge) - and then had them write…

Kinja is so effed in some cases... Cant see half the comments most of the time only to find out when yours is ungrayed it was already asserted a few times.

Well anyway - helpful context coming from any commenter.

No but it can cloud your judgment - and heighten any inherent bias (same with my whiteness). Some of that is implied - and a lot is not and is right there in the clip.

It is always interesting to see an entirely different perspective on this - but there are plenty of ways to interpret his performance, many of which I…

Are you sure that you arent just offened by this since it may/may not be regarding your ethnic group?

I think he is speaking to the ridiculous people you see in street/close up magic on TV. His observation is pretty well spot on if you have seen David Blaine's street magic or most other close up magicians on TV (of…

More Indians/Asians on TV is more than fine by me, but please not Deepak Chopra. Dude is an asshat, and it has nothing to do with his ethnicity.

did you miss the part where one of them is the son of an actor and another the son of a local police officer? that would help explain a lot.

Yes, but MS actually took that flat design a lot further and got away from the (now perceived) goofiness of all of OS X and iOS6. They got rid of all the drop shadows and shit and made it significantly MORE FLAT.

Apple may have started the trend, but they fell behind in that regard.

That said - I think subtle gradients…

So is this an implicit endorsement of another company that had designs to DO THE EXACT SAME THING?

Your fanboyism seems to naturally preclude you from objectivity. There are actual substantive arguments you could make, but this is more or less just naive trolling.

Design trends are actually moving toward that flat tiled design, including UIs - and people are pretty responsive. You may be in the minority here.

Those laws are pretty fucked, but I am pretty certain that this wouldnt be a viable defense in this case, since stand your ground implies someone advancing on your position.

The thing is that those laws are largely unnecessary since there are plenty of avenues to legitimately argue self-defense in nearly every state…

That is some epically crazy shit you have going on there. While the vitriol may be somewhat justified - kind fucked up to logically extend that to every white person, especially considering the fact that in this particular case I havent seen to many people who were apologists for the shooter - even before these even…

maybe theyre using that word in the 90s sense?

Damnit Jim he is a doctor not a librarian.
