@Molson_Hart@texasrunnerDFW Performative? So she used the coupon for the Old Navy maternity dress and then wore the dress publicly somehow knowing that the NYT would write about her pregnancy so that she could then post the receipt for said dress?
@OopsGuess@ChinaSelect Confused by what you find ‘hilarious’. US and China are competing. China will ban/restrict some US companies for strategic reasons and visa-versa. What are you trying to say?
@north0fnorth Have you been to the outermost parts of what this graphic describes as ‘Chicagoland’. It quickly becomes quite rural. You could cut off a large chunk of the ‘Chicagoland area’ and still have 8 million people.
@TomeiTyler@micsolana Conditions were harsh for all. It is difficult for some 21st century people to understand life before the mid 20th century. Applying the modern idea of racism to history is mainly a way for the pampered woke to feel smug while eating a cheeseburger.
@drterrysimpson Harvard famously was found to have discriminated against Asian students—Asians were systematically given lower personal scores as the basis for needing higher test scores to be admitted. This is what you are advocating for.
@lymanstoneky Why do so many red button pushers have so much cope? You just made a bunch of assumptions. Kids are exempt? At what age? 5? 9? Parents who push blue don’t have to make up a bunch of bs. You’re protesting too much.
@itsClintSteel@tszzl@xriskology Your worry is your own problem. Someone will build it bc it can be built and your private scruples are only valid to you. No one has to explain anything to you just bc you stomp your foot and demand it.
@Tummler68@peterrhague Perhaps you can understand the blue thought process, but it is clear that some others can’t. Why use the collective ‘we’? There are valid reasons to push red, it would be interesting to see how different thresholds change the outcome—say 80% had to choose blue to save everyone
@peterrhague Some of these ‘red button pushers’ have no theory of mind. They aren’t capable of running through different thought processes. They name-call and insist others are stupid. Some choose blue bc if someone they loved chose blue but the majority chose red, they couldn’t live w/ it
@jcapital54@CorieWhalen Okay, a parent giving cigarettes or alcohol to say, a six year old, could go to jail. If social media is worse, what should the criminal punishment be for the parent or adult in charge if a kid has access to a device that isn’t age restricted?
@nathancofnas I’m lost. How does ‘genetic variants influencing intelligence may be unevenly distributed across populations’ lead to the claim that you’re promoting racial superiority? Seems like this Justice is filling in some logical gaps with his own prejudices.
@Oilfield_Rando@David_J_Bier The fact is that different immigrant groups have widely varying crime rates. Asian immigrants commit fewer crimes than black Americans and white Americans. Latino immigrants commit fewer crimes than black Americans and 2nd gen Latinos but more than white Americans.
