Actually, it 100% does. White people don’t get to define racism, that includes Nazis, and Jews. Rich white people often, almost always, have a deep disdain for poor white people.

When that shitty treatment comes from White people because they don’t think the victims are White, it becomes racism. Until it becomes standard for your oppressor to run a 23&Me to verify you’re qualified for oppression, racism will always be a function of how you are perceived. Regardless of how pale someone’s skin…

Jewish people have been and likely always will be conditionally White at best. They are White when non-Jewish White people want to include them, and Jewish when those same people want to oppress them. It’s very easy for American BIPOC to overlook that and reduce it down to “Well, in the interactions I’ve seen they’re…

At this point, despite being male and gay, if a candidate comes up who is willing to firm commit to hardlining their support for abortion services they’ve likely secured my vote. Inevitably some will this position as virtue signaling and to them I say: The fact that I have to virtue signal committing to basic human…

You left off the biggest one: He supposedly gifted the lion’s share of his salary from the first Matrix and then tens of millions of dollars of his backend profit-sharing from the sequels to the CGI teams when he heard how much of a pittance each artist was making because “they’re the real stars of this movie and it…

Because they are no less dangerous to the people who become addicted than a controlled substance. Addictive personality disorders, like eating disorders, are not something that you can reliably manage through conscientious habits and self-control. They prey upon your impulse control and in part actively interfere with…

You might want to review your memories - Speed he was the headliner. Sandra Bullock had worked as an actress for the better part of a decade but never been nominated for anything before Speed, and her most memorable roles at that point were likely Demolition Man as a supporting character and a romantic comedy lead in…

Non of ya’ll are gonna like me saying this, but I think that over a thousand employees working under him calling for his resignation after he ignored hundreds of documented and reported examples of sexual misconduct and mistreatment over the course of almost a decade isn’t really a credible reason for him to be fired.…

Boning, rigging, and weight painting are nowhere near the level of nuance for even cut scene quality models that signing requires. Hell, even the equipment for mocap is not well suited for this because tone and context in signing often involves subtle cues from flexing and contracting muscles as opposed to just…

While it does seem like you have a hate boner for capitalism, I just want to point out what you’re describing isn’t actually how most rural economies work. By the very nature of what they produce, it can’t be. Because the seasonality and variable challenges that are likely to crop up, most rural economies rely on a…

Flaming hot take: But then they would have to engage with uncomfortable conversations about race, culture, and class without the cute metaphors, and allegories, and “keep politics out of my fantasy political drama” mewling in the way. And nobody wants that. And by nobody, I mean... well, you get the gist.

I understand the position you think you’re taking but let me point out something simple: If we can agree that good humor can elevate a decent game into someone’s all-time favorites worthy of emulation and a multi-series cult following, why is it somehow such an extreme idea that bad humor can reduce a decent game into…

Really? For me it was the opposite -- She didn’t compromise on anything except perhaps the image that some people hold of her that she is “above” any interaction with the wealthy, and she managed to get her face and her point infront of the very people she’s trying to address with her central argument literally…

Nevermind, just saw the update. Maybe I should finish reading the article.

It’s a little different as it is taking up space on a platform intended for people to pitch ideas to the public that couldn’t get made without their funding. Visibility and noise are already challenges and it’s not like CDPR doesn’t have the money to build their own in-house speculative interest page like Lego and…

So let’s take bets now that Sharon Osbourne, Elaine Welteroth, and Carrie Ann Inaba are all out. Which do we think it was that ousted Elaine Welteroth:

That’s... a complete misunderstanding of educational principles. Asking how any specific pedagogical approach is empirically “better” is already a failure because it assumes both the educator and the student do not change the parameters of “better.” We know from decades of research that generalized approaches seeking…

I like it. It’s like “why wait for the internet to radicalize some of the youth when we can radicalize all of them at once?” It’s giving me Scapegoating. It’s giving me Nationalist Youth Groups. It's giving me "We pay for the sins of our forefathers." It's the fact that every problem you just listed is a…

Because Kit would never be able to believe that Dottie dropped it on purpose, and up to that point things had turned pretty acidic between them. From Kit’s standpoint, her overbearing sister who has thwarted her at every turn has finally gotten her comeuppance. From Dottie’s standpoint, doing this thing for her sister…

Great for meetings, provided it can handle multi-display.
