@Not_the_Bee @jamestalarico @used So, from @jamestalarico 's tweet, some arsehole knows this girl's name, location, and a short list of what schools she attends, which is enough for a predator to track her down according to standard trainings all teachers receive.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@Not_the_Bee @jamestalarico Not to mention, pretty sure this is a FERPA violation @used. Teachers are required both legally and ethically to keep student data, including names, private even after they leave the profession.
Who uses a minor student to promote their social cred?

@ValhallaKnox @EdKrassen I haven't seen Dart do anything publicly against a teammate... have you? Carter is the fragile one.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@RScottWilson @Mollyploofkins Carter was the one who turned against a teammate. He's the turncoat.

Costco is a paid membership club... meaning that all the members are paying to keep the hot dog prices down.

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

A simple thing like Costco keeping a hot dog price at $1.50 is proof that corporations don’t need to price gouge everything.

Cool. US defense conpanies will have more resources to devote to building weapons for the US. Funny how that works out.

[Matthäus Metzinger 🇩🇪🇭🇺🇪🇺🇺🇸 @AegisEuropa]

@sentdefender That’s fine but that also means US defense companies definitely won’t be getting the contracts to build Europe’s defense infrastructure. So the US loses out on strategic influence in Europe and defense markets. Cool

@TBoneChoice Because the quality of life in America is better than most anywhere else.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@pfau @simonsarris @AlecStapp Well, not surprising given the societal preferences in college admissions, scholarships, and investment for immigrants over the past 20 years.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@anthony_lipira @fishwrap360104 @Chesschick01 You understand fully the meaning of the reply. Without war we'd be subject to a government who literally rounds up its citizens for mass executions, like the Nazis, Imperial Japanese, Communists, etc.
The best way to keep peace is to prepare for war.

@StevenGlinert I'll gladly embrace any immigrant who doesn't use public welfare, doesn't commit violent crime, values the nuclear family, and isn't a socialist or Islamofascist.

The problem is that so many of our recent immigrants do some or all of that.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

Which is why certain privileges, like voting, should be reserved for those who aren't takers

[Nicholas Decker @captgouda24]

Asking whether immigrants are net takers is a bit unfair, because the vast majority of native-born Americans are also net takers.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

Not when they deny that same job to someone who is already here and would not also pay the same taxes, but spend all the money here, creating income for others. Remittances can have large impacts too.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@ryangrim Two things-
1 - True asylum seekers would be exempt from the requirement.
2 - Given that previous admins gave asylum status away like AOL used to send CDs in the mail, this gives the US the ability to clear out the economic "refugees"

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@MattMileHigh @tomselliott @AOC Considering that those employees voluntarily chose to work those jobs, for which Bezos does compensate them, and they are free to quit whenever, the jobs must improve their quality of life

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@tatertotsconor There's a large crowd of classics fans who were a prebuilt audience for this movie and I feel he wanted to market it to them without paying homage to Homer's work as they would expect.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

The issue is that Helen was described as "white- armed" in the text, noting that she was pale due to living in the palace all the time.
Nolan has specifically noted other choices he made to be more authentic to the culture.
Don't claim to be authentic and miscast a major role.

[Tater Tots McGee @tatertotsconor]

So it went from “Helen of Troy wasn’t a Black woman” to “Ok, Helen of Troy didn’t actually exist but she was created by Ancient Greeks and we should respect their culture”. Lol

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@tatertotsconor And again, this wouldn't be an issue if Nolan hadn't repeatedly noted the steps he took to be authentic, including having craftsman build a seaworthy wooden ship to shoot on.
If he wanted to be more interpretive and subversive, cool, but then say so.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@Caeso_K @drterrysimpson It is not racist to observe that a large portion of certain groups are unqualified based upon various data like SATs, MCATs, GREs, etc.

And when a large enough set of individuals of a certain group are admitted this way, the public will unfortunately assume they are unqualified.

[Mr T Macguyver @MrTMacguyver]

@BES_5_FNR @FreightBrkrGuy @Hughmungusdik @GOP_is_Gutless @topfans There are multiple levels of non-compliance with fed law, including states who were improperly issuing licenses.

There are just so many, the investigations and processing required by law limit how many he can close at any time... he'd be draining a lake one bucket at a time.
