@RemmyXLVII@EarthFirstVoter@StatisticUrban Firstly, DSA is run from the bottom because decisions can be made without a majority vote. Secondly, after some of the questions she stated, “as a long term program”—which there was no follow up question about. This was flatly just embarrassingly terrible propaganda.
@robinsonishyde@offbeatorbit Twitter is not a real place because I’ve never met a man who wouldn’t “accidentally” jerk off to a shoe if it was dressed as a woman.
@NBA_NewYork Jalen has a lot of skill and persistence. I really wish we’d stop using immeasurables like “heart” to counter when people over value height and athleticism. No one does this in soccer. It’s always skill more than anything else.
@xavierjdesigns@HotHandTheory I need a reference point to understand your claim.
Where should he have gone? And what team structures would he be optimized in?
I ask these questions in part b/c a team of Nickel’s ain’t winning. But the Lakers who already have defensive issues cannot risk taking him either.
@artwithinpod Why do you think it’s interesting? I’m genuinely curious b/c I think the simple explanation is cultural conversations are created by academics and writers who only make up a microcosm of film watchers. I saw Mario World 3 times and I talk to my children about the film constantly.
A paper test is not the only means to show merit? Testing teamwork is meritocratic. Testing an ability to command a room of your peers is meritocratic. Testing ingenuity to solve problems is meritocratic. And it’s not based on color if everyone goes through this same process.
It affects nothing. Those black students wouldn't be able to score well enough on the SHSAT. Almost no black students score above 1400 on the SATs, what makes you think they'd score high enough on the SHSAT to get into Stuyvesant? The whole point of the private school scholarships is so these black students don't have to go through a meritocratic filter to get into stuy/bronx-science; they can get into prestigious private schools based on their skin color and much lower meritocratic filters.
