@therabbithole Yes and define racism.

My preferred definition: “1. beliefs that are both rigidly held and inaccurate, 2. Ill will (animosity) toward an ethnic group, 3. and/or behavior intended to harm someone motivated by ill will toward that persons ethnic group.”

Have you ever been in an environment like this?

[RonnieWest @GoodParentRWest]

@AdmetosL Or played paintball, or played nerf, or played army, or played at all…

@MajToure It would be evil and they wouldn’t have the authority to do it. It being justified (him arguably deserving it) isn’t relevant.

Men trying to approach women is a minefield.

“55% of single 18-30 men say they haven’t approached a woman in the last year.

77% of 18-30 women say they wished they were approached more.

At 41+ the trend flips and 55% of women said they didn’t want to be approached.”

86% of women say they want the man to make the first move.

However, 50% of men report not wanting to approach women for fear of being seen as creepy or predatory.

17% of Americans aged 18 to 29 believe that a man inviting a woman out for a drink “always” or “usually” constitutes sexual harassment.

And 82% of women reported experiencing creepy behaviour “sometimes,” “often,” or “constantly”.

This is a difficult circle to square.

Women face a dilemma – they are scared for their safety but also have a preference for men making the first move.

Men face a dilemma – they are terrified of being seen as creepy but also know that if they don’t approach a woman, the conversation is unlikely to start. — h/t @datepsych

@SaintofSuburbs Therapy has been taken over by the left. It’s unfortunate because it can be very useful.

@a_Jedi_speaks @BobMurphyEcon Funny how Gemini adds “or people in general,” as if men care how much money earning potential women have.

@BladeoftheS They don’t hold the risk. They don’t pay for fixes or improvements. They didn’t have to save up for the down payment. They can leave anytime they want and the home owner still has to keep paying the mortgage.

@BladeoftheS @gwr_dwr Just destroy all incentive to build homes.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

imagine if we treated adding a new law to the economy in the same way we treated adding a new medicine to the body. you'd have to demonstrate no harmful effects show up in controlled trials, people who pass laws with damaging side effects would be held liable, etc

@Atomsmade I’m very happy and I’m grateful to God.

[RonnieWest @GoodParentRWest]

@TheHustleCritic Hope as a virtue: believing that things can improve and get better. Without it, they won’t try.

[RonnieWest @GoodParentRWest]

@MrWinMarshall Why

[RonnieWest @GoodParentRWest]

@ZubyMusic Perhaps, if we absolutely don’t bail them out or subsidize it.

[RonnieWest @GoodParentRWest]

@JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics This should be a huge national ad. What a great message pared with such perfect true life imagery.

[RonnieWest @GoodParentRWest]

@Acyn If they stock enough to supply everyone than those items will simply not be stocked in other stores at anything like normal quantities or these stores will run out.

Either way, they risk running businesses out of business.

So long, America🫡🇺🇸

49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.

This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.

Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.

So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!

I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:

“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”

Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

@Houseofyogi @grok is this an accurate definition and example of this type of taxation?
