@longjohnsilvers Hey I love you guys. How come when I ordered a dozen super sampler platters and asked to super size it they said that wasn’t a thing and then they said they don’t do delivery anymore?
@lilmoemusic@childhoodsen@lassebirk@charlesmurray Whites do not take spots from Asians. If it were a pure meritocracy, a lot more Asians would get in, more whites would get in, and far fewer underrepresented minorities. It is the latter category that is taking spots from Asians.
@Sharkkey_@BigBlindBets13@Masterflip_ The difference is subtle. They are not paying him *for* his past performance. They are paying him *because of* his past performance. Specifically because it predicts strong future performance. And they are paying *for* that future.

@dredgedskeleton@AussieSamizdat@willchamberlain “Can we now say Hamas was attacking a military target” is at least trying to set an equivalency between them and the government and military of a liberal, diverse democracy
@JillFilipovic@JoelMCurzon He said many cannot be fixed. That is true. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to fix them, but do so away from kids who want to learn. Success stories happen but they are the minority. It is a realistic view, and that reality is sad, but you shouldn’t be sad that he is realistic
