… did ya think that maybe, just maybe, English isn’t their first language?

Don’t be a dick, it makes perfect sense

What the census means by “Urban area” generally boils down to is “the majority of the labor in this area working in a place with more than 50k population”. That is a better metric than “what’s the population of this city/ town/ community” since you can have small towns inside urban areas that are going to feel dramatically different than a small town with no direct connection to a nearby population center, but the small town in podunk Nebraska would have far more in common with a small town in podunk Arkansas than a nearby suburb.

Fuck ICE. pieces of shit

“Well, you saved us from the fascists, but it is illegal for you to be a furry and the penalty is death”

“But that was one of the laws the fascists made! Why the fuck would you honor that?”

“They take the low-road and we take the high-road. If you only ever remove legislation the other side enacts, you’ll never get anything done, ya know?”

I mean, didn’t he famously steal the idea?

Wasn’t The Book of Revelation just an acid, fever dream fanfic about Nero coming back from the dead? Kinda not relevant.

Just one note, restaurant prices go up because uber eats charges a percentage based fee for each menu item. So, restaurants need to up the prices on the app just to make the same amount of money. Just some good ol’ under-the-table fuckery courtesy of Silicon Valley bastards.

I’m not sure what you’re asking here. Are you asking why people bring up being black or make it a part of their identity? Being black in America is a part of their every day lived experience. At no point will society let them forget they are black and just let them be themselves. If not outright discrimination, then they’ll experience people making assumptions about them based solely on the color of their skin. Assuming they’re poor, uneducated, unintelligent, untrustworthy, or dangerous. So, since they can’t escape the label anyways, they embrace it in order to find community and to heal. Like one might do if they were a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Are you asking why black people have stereotypes about white people? The same reason you have stereotypes about anything. Humans are pattern recognizing machines, often to our own detriment.

Are you asking why black people might treat white people with disdain or fear? It’s because the most blatant discrimination towards any out-group will always come from the most insulated in-group. As a result, they can’t blindly trust that white people will treat them with dignity or respect.

Are you asking how we end racism or to get more people to think like you (colorblind)? That requires one, ending systemic oppression of black people (if you think this step is done, then you need to do you some learning). Two, educating people on the history of black people in America, both their contributions and their struggles, so that there’s a solid understanding and empathy built up. Three, wait several generations so that no one has negative, undeserved biases against black people OR create a culture where people can be called out on their racist actions without fear of retribution or retaliation.

This is really difficult to grasp, especially if you’ve never experienced direct discrimination and think that is just the actions of individuals that are the issue. As a white man with a black partner, it took me YEARS to really breakdown all the negative assumptions that society instilled in me without me even realizing. Even the “I treat everyone the same, regardless of their skin color” thought is bad, because it means you’re unwilling to listen when people tell you they’re being harmed because of their skin color. Especially if it’s you doing the harm.

You can’t start by being mad at the discriminated for telling you they’re being discriminated against. You need to listen to them with empathy and compassion, and realize also that they don’t really need to teach you about this stuff, you need to be inquisitive and want to learn.

Did you consider that Microsoft lawyers said prices wouldn’t go up? Cause they did, they did say that, which is why the merger was approved. Do you think lawyers can just lie? Don’t you think it’s much more fair now that companies can make pinky promises that prices won’t go up before they become more monopolistic. That’s just good business for both customers and businesses /s

“We hate that poors get to vote in our country. Don’t they know that this was a country founded with the ideals that only landowning white men could vote? Apparently they changed that law at some point, so we just make new ones to make the poors not want to vote. Like depriving them of things they need to live if they choose to do so. It’s what they get for being poors. Johohoho!”

In all honesty, it’s fucked. It’s so fucked.

I’ve learned a little Japanese and can say that repeating words changes the meaning. Like an intensifier. So, “wait” followed by “stop” could be a legitimate translation, showing the increased demand level of the repeated word.

Surprise Medical Billing has mostly been nerfed after the No Surprises Act here in the US. After 2022, so long as you went to an INN provider, then you can’t be charged OON pricing for any OON services that you may have encountered during that visit.

Celsius and Fahrenheit are both degrees units, meaning they’re scaled off of some arbitrary temperature. 20°C means 20 Celsius units away from Celsius 0.

Kelvin isn’t scaled. 0 Kelvin means there’s no temperature energy at all. So there’s no need to couch it in degrees, since it isn’t arbitrary but a defined scale with an absolute zero point.

… the location? Hezbollah is not Hamas. Lebanon is not Gaza.

Yes, but then China fucked us for a few years. They’ve since stopped, which is why the 16 year difference.
