Both lists, watched every single one.
White, suburban, male.
It’s amazing what you’re exposed to despite the fact that you don’t try to make everything about race 24/7/365.
It’s almost as if....trying to live your life based around the assumption that everything is, or can be argued to be racist and thus you’re a

I love the hypocrisy of this.
We’ve had outrage over Asian characters being given to white actors
We’ve had outrage over trans characters being given to non trans actors
Same for black, gay, bi and every other extra special hat wearing demographic who wants to push the notion that their membership automatically entitles

Nah, the game now is that whenever anyone makes a valid point that detracts from your narrative, call them a racist/homophobe/transphobe/sexist et al ad nauseam, and then when they defend themselves act like it somehow proves your point.

The only thing worse than republican bullshit, is this liberal “wokeness”

Enshrined in the constitution, and disproportionately taken advantage of by African Americans, primarily men.

12% of the population accounts for over half of all gun murders (52% over the past 40 years, and 52-60% year over year) and the majority of non-fatal gun violence (270,000 incidents, compared to the gun loving

A few things to remember when it comes to the incarceration of African Americans.

12% of the population:
Over the past 40 years, they’ve been responsible for 52% of all gun murders, year over year they account for 51-60%.
They commit gun violence at a rate 3.5 times HIGHER than white Americans
77,000 vs 270,000 in 2016.
The

The number isn’t as important as the percentage of the population, is the point, which is why they break it down into per 100,000 or whatever representative metric.

Say you have 50 people imprisoned in NYC, a place with 8 million residents.

Then you also see bumfuck idaho also has 50 people imprisoned....but bumfuck

Society is based around rules, which we know as laws.
Everyone knows the broad strokes, don’t rape, murder, assault, steal or engage in the sale or purchase of certain goods or substances.
Everyone is required to follow these laws.
If you fail to abide by the rules of society, you give up your right to freedom and

Unless you’re joking, you’re a fucking idiot.
It’s almost unheard of at this point to install any app on android that doesn’t ask for access to every sensor and identifier attached to your device. Between google, which android is a part of, and facebook, they account for the majority of the internets Ad space, with no

Brian....Brian Brian Brian.

While individual change may be inadequate on it’s own.....

IT’S CURRENTLY THE ONLY FUCKING THING ANYONE HAS CONTROL OVER.

Do you not understand this in your quest to always put responsibility for the big problems on the nefarious “OTHERS”.

All of the fucked up systems and destructive

Unfortunately, society has done what it always tends to do when something gets overlooked.

They over-correct, HARD.

Over the past few years, society, at the urging of the media has come to the conclusion that every negative outcome involving anyone that belongs to a so-called “disenfranchised group” is the result of

Objectivity isn’t that difficult, unless of course you write for the GMG blogs, than it seems to be a bridge too far.

Objectivity means being able to lay out the FACTS of a story, without imposing your own biased views, and certainly without telling your audience how they should feel. The only thing that matters in a

While the Covid response in the US is nothing short of shameful, everyone could have and should have done better, both of those things do increase the chances of mortality significantly. Considering the fact that a full 42% of the US population is obese (which is defined as being 100+ pounds overweight) with another

It’s always funny to me when people with absolutely no experience, let alone understanding of the kind of life endured by the characters on Shameless, try to deconstruct the motivations of it’s characters.

There is a wide chasm between theoretically being capable of something, and actually knowing how to accomplish

Here in romania, where we’ve had fiber to the wall for nearly a decade, there are no caps.
Speeds are 1 Gbps down AND up.
Between streaming, cloud backups, remote work and torrenting, i routinely use 25-30 terabytes of data per month, personally on average. There are 2 other people, and 6 other devices on our home

Factory work/manufacturing

Cement worker

Road worker
Between all of those, there are about 7 million skilled labor positions that are unfilled, because there aren’t enough workers.
There aren’t enough workers because the past couple generations of children have been taught

Glenlivet 21 year $300 because it will last literal years
Beef tenderloin $35 a pound unless i can find a untrimmed whole tenderloin which comes in closer to $15 a pound, cut into 10-15 8oz steaks and vacuum sealed before freezing and it will last my wife and I several months.

But those are about it, when it comes to

Glenlivet 12 year is the daily driver at $45
Glenlivet 18 is the slightly more discerning at $75
Glenlivet 21 is the once a year birthday purchase that, as my father always said you just have a “wee drom” at $300

While i loathe trump and all that support him, this whole ordeal is a symptom of a bigger problem, and while those around him aren’t grasping the reason they’re being shut down on various platforms, they do actually have a valid point about unpopular opinions being “silenced”

When the reaction to your opinion, no

Aside from acknowledging the fact that this was a crime against sex workers, the fact that massage parlors that provide the happy ending are disproportionately operated by Asian Americans isn’t conclusive evidence that it was a hate crime. There are no shortage of Asians in San Francisco, if that was actually directed

Nope, it’s the level of response and the basis of their argument.
YOU DEADNAMED ME! HATE CRIME! DISCRIMINATION! ABUSE!

When you get called by the wrong name do you film a youtube video exploring the deep feelings of hurt and shame over not getting what you want? Do you attempt to ruin peoples lives because you want to
