I'm just an NPC (Non-Posting Character), so there's no reason to follow me. A like only means it was worth reading, not agreement. I enjoy differing opinions.
@Philosophi_Cat The cancel tactic:
- Makes the powerful more powerful
- Rewards being sneaky about your true motives & agenda
- Punishes outbursts of candid feelings
On the upside, it promotes tact, and holding your tongue until your anger calms down.
But on balance, IMO, canceling is bad.
@AmyMek Might not be so bad as long as:
1. Other ethnic groups can do the same.
2. Everything is clearly disclosed up front to patients.
3. Exceptions are made for emergencies (i.e. every hospital must treat any emergency injury).
I'm not Amish, but let them have Amish hospitals.
@ChiefEngineerCE OR, when a company is clearly hiring incompetence, start a new company to compete with it. Anti-discrim laws can't be enforced in the long run cuz if the bosses hate you they will find a way to keep you down. The best option is to force them out of business by starting your own.
@1977Shooter@NatCon2022@Airbnb I like that you post the other side, @1977Shooter, but @NatCon2022 also has a fair point. Blacks are perfectly capable of being non-violent, but somehow calling out black crime is seen as racist. So it gets covered up in most media, which means less pressure to fix the problem.
@TruthFairy131 Ah, but it's mostly poor white women getting raped, not the ones safe in their well-paid academic jobs, living in wealthy neighborhoods, showing their peers how compassionate they are by raising funds for liberal causes. But don't talk about the rape. That might increase racism.
@yohannbiimu1@jihadwatchRS Approximately 1/3rd of NYC Jewish voters backed Mamdani, according to ChatGPT. Hard to be sure, but it's probably a 30-point drop compared to normal NYC Jewish support for NYC Democrats.
@adeoressi@elonmusk Imagine using that vodka as the propellant for a very tiny autonomous rocket, launched inside a Starship during a zero-G phase of the flight, delivering drinks from the bar to passengers celebrating the anniversary of the SpaceX IPO.
@MsMelChen I don't want to give up.
Yes, whites have been hurt by becoming less tribal (on average), because too many others remained more tribal and took care of their own.
But I don't want to cure that by becoming more tribal.
How do we cure suicidal empathy and still keep the empathy?
@MrPitbull07 The most disturbing aspect is that he could find so many men who would join in and not report it. We are correctly horrified when Muslim rapists can so easily find accomplices, but this case proves that such a horrible mindset is not restricted to Pakistani immigrants in Britain.
@TonySeruga "every dashcam, clinical dataset, and financial ledger would be hashed and time‑anchored in open ledgers the instant they’re created".
This would also help with accusations of "that was AI-generated". If a video or hash is posted on X, at least we know it existed at that time.
@ChiefEngineerCE@WildlyNormal@catmrow0 Don't spend it. It's rare, but they've been known to suddenly demand a refund, even after an underling said the case was closed.
