This should be done. The Feds don't have the right to dictate curriculum, but they can place conditions on funding. If a state wants to teach their children absurd nonsense then let them pay for it, let the frustration with bad schools get directed where it belongs, let the people vote for how their state us run without their governments being able to pass the buck.

My proposal would be to remove limitations on the free market and allow people to purchase insurance at their discretion.

This picture (and the others like it) are what have me convinced that Biden was doing everything in his power to avoid getting nominated. There's not a fucking chance that nobody on his campaign told him it was a bad idea.

Dude ran a fucking baby mill in his emerald mines.

Hillary and Bill Clinton used to go to him for "healing". Isn't it funny how all the same prominent people wind up connected every time one of these fucking dregs gets busted?

China is hiring based on party membership status and browsing history. Communist societies are anything but meritocratic. This is why their buildings keep falling over. You think office politics is bad here, imagine living in a society where that's how everything works. It is ideological nepotism and the results are indistinguishable from a corrupt society.

I used to work with a phenomenal engineer that was from Africa. He worked on databases. He was the only black engineer in our company (we had black product managers and reps) the rest were a mish mash of mostly white people, Indians, Asians, an absolutely bad ass Jewish software engineer that taught me a fuck ton.

The white people were also very diverse. We had Australians, eastern Europeans, a Hungarian, several first and second generation white Americans with parents from all over, and even a Cajun.

Jews are white people.

All our company did was hire who they thought would best fit the job. The entire staff was about as diverse as America is.

Here's a fact: if black people have the same opportunities, take advantage of their opportunities, have similar capabilities in general, and you hire without any regard to race, you'll get a percentage of your workforce that more or less equals the demographic percentages in your country or region.

Why is this not perfectly acceptable to these people?

seriously, think of this. It's fucking racist. It's fucking insulting and degrading. It is the "white man's burden" justification the Europeans used for colonialism. If I were black and this was the policy at some place I wouldn't fucking work there.

It is literally the exact same ideology, the exact same organization, and even almost exactly the same tactics, they're just appealing to a different demographic now.

If I were a black engineering student and this shit came up I would drop my fucking classes with this university. This is fucking insulting, a course explaining exactly how many black people to hire. How about you just focus on hiring engineers?

I watched his interview with Vice. Honestly I don't understand this "murderer gets an interview" argument. It is newsworthy, I am very glad someone interviewed him about it before he died. I'd love to see more interviews direct with people, especially ones that do bad things because I'd like to see their thought process, justifications, all that.

Now, the interview is obviously designed to avoid directly implicating him (although that's virtually impossible) and the interviewer as well as the company have an obvious sympathetic bias. But in these trying times (lol) what do we expect, the guy to go on Fox? Of course hes going to do an interview with a sympathetic propaganda outlet, I'd still like to see it.

The guy was a murderer, and a liar, and the video speaks for itself. He was obviously delusional and paranoid, saying shit like big trucks and flags make him think they're there to kill black people and absurd nonsense. Here's what actually happened: friend calls him, says there's Trump flags driving down the street, he got giddy with glee because he gets to go hunt evil people (in his delusional mind we are evil). He went out with his buddies and hunted someone and murdered them. They were probably talking nonsense about revenge for the Kenosha Kid on the way to do this.

I'm pretty sure the media just fucked themselves with this story. the minute I heard about it I remembered this moment. All they did was ensure everyone talks about it and once this image is posted the conversation is over. Nobody believes the story they're telling now, nobody.

Don't get worked up about it. If you think that any single individual buys this shot that isn't already convinced of Russia collusion and nonsense like that, take a step back. You'll see.

*Washington state patrol.

He's right. State highways are the jurisdiction of state authorities.

They've cucked out. They did it when they turned in their rifles. Australians need to take their country back.

This is actually not accurate. The formula can be used to encourage critical thinking over a long period of time (years, or the amount of time these shows usually run for).

A script writer in the show actually could do it. You address some current events trope in one short segment, do the layout, quip, laugh track, then address something else next but in the script conflict with the first segment. Because the first segment is still rolling around the mind of the viewer, they will acknowledge the conflict, then laugh, thus internalizing the conflict rather than the message itself. The trick is that the quips conflict, not necessarily the facts.

Shows like these usually have ongoing, overarching tropes. After a period of time, work quips in that subtly conflict with these tropes and you can break the conditioning of the method itself.

It requires more talented writing but is possible.
