Hide it as a spoiler that is titled what it is and that it has gore.
Pretend there was gore here
Has that ever worked for you?
I do it a lot and can’t think of a single time it worked.
Well run sports programs for kids teach them to work together and challenge themselves. The best even teach ways to handle failure and to grow from practice.
Poorly run ones promote the us vs them and other negative aspects.
But generally, my perspective is that if people are interested in sports, they should play them themselves. I don’t know why it would be so exciting to go watch someone else play basketball or something. You should just play basketball if you like it so much.
While I agree playing is superior and I don’t watch any sports wher I don’t personally know the players/competitors, there are plenty of people who are not able to play themselves because of age, injury, complete lack of ability, and they still want to be a part of the experience. Watching kids play is fun, as long as the competition is friendly.
Add in b.s. like taking a knee during the anthem and men in womens sports, let’s just do away with competive sports.
I agree with everything else, but not this turd of a sentence.
It is an exact repeat of Trump’s first term as far as golf goes.
Trump also complained about how many executive orders prior presidents wrote…
They all need to go.
Too much credit is given to Trump, which means that if Trump leaves office people will think everything is fixed despite all the other people who steer Trump towards his worst impulses will still be around wreaking havoc.
Trump is 90% a figurehead for the shitty conservatives who wrote Project 2025. He didn’t come up with most of this stuff, he is just going along with it. The 10% of the time things are his idea are fucking terrible too, but he definitely doesn’t deserve most of the credit.
If you just want positive attention, go with “What’s the best distro for…?”
Clearly the best distro is Windows 10!
My only regrets are having to read stupid responses that completely missed the point of what I said because they want to argue with what they think I said.
Occasionally I learn something new from responses, which changes my perspective.
Or they keep explaining what you already said because they don’t understand nuance or context.
Never expect people to change for the better. It isn’t impossible, but it is unlikely without some kind of major event in their lives that they learn from.
Are all of the people qualified? Then everything past that is likely to be subjective as to what ‘more capable means’.
If so, odds are pretty high that what the hiring person thinks are more capable are just people that fut their preconceived notions of who is likely to be more qualified. Generally that is tall, white men.
Not to mention there is a lot more to being effective workers, like communication and collaboration. A more diverse workforce tends to increase communication and collaboration when being diverse and inclusive are goals.
Not to mention people can grow as they get experience. So even if they aren’t the most capable at the time of hiring, they might be in a few years. And if people don’t get any experience, they will always have a disadvantage against even less capable people who have more experience. It is a feedback loop that makes even a small amount of discrimination have a mush larger effect.
That opinion assumes the people who weren’t being hired due to discrimination are less capable. Which is the kind of thing people use to justify discrimination.
Also we hate nazis as individuals, because being a nazi requires being a fascist piece of shit. Calling them horrible isn’t a stereotype, because we are not generalizing, just acknowledging.
What the fuck is context anyway?
All black colleges exist because blacks were excluded from existing colleges. Not because there were all white colleges, but because they were excluded from the vast majority of colleges.
They have remain because of ongoing racism at other colleges. A group that is discriminated against by society as a whole limiting who can join their spaces is not discrimination.
There are no extreme forms of DEI because DEI is just making sure that everyone is able to be included and to discourage discrimination.
An all black college for example is not DEI. It is trying to counter systemic racism by providing opportunities to those that have historically and currently been excluded, so the goals are the same but it isn’t DEI.
That is what I assumed they meant.
