"Mediocre" is a loaded adjective here, because it presumes that a lawyer with a good education and high salary is not mediocre. In my eyes, he is the height of mediocrity; a man who creates and adds nothing, a mere functionary cog in a fictional realm of arguments and codes, and whose life path was the most mundane following of inputs possible. What could be more mediocre?
"Unspecialized masses" makes more sense logically, because all a lawyer is is someone who studied up on arcane knowledge for a long time in a world disconnected from the vast majority of humanity.
It's fine to be a lawyer. It's also fine to be a garbageman. But the lawyer is only an admirable path because it makes money. Beyond that... who cares?
What do you call someone who is paid by a foreign government to spend their life posting on various American message boards? Other than bad_teammate of course.

Rough will be very interesting if they don't trim before Thursday. The lack of spectators makes it even more difficult

Joe Truck Driver is gonna get right with the Lord real quick, because his job is one of the main ones on the chopping block. What used to be a good 6-figure gig, where you could own a nice house in Elgin and live a good life, is going away. A robot will be driving his truck within 10 years. And most Joe Truck Driver types aren't going to be able to pivot to another 6-figure job in banking or whatnot.
Yes. High or even moderate achievement will increasingly depend on intellectual capability, which will necessarily exclude a significant percentage of the population. The hopelessness and lack of purpose that is pervasive among Americans under-30 won't be cured by UBI. We will need to identify ways to provide a meaningful existence to the mediocre masses or unrest and inequality will deepen.
Unfortunately, the extensive reforms needed to effectively provide adequate educations to members of disadvantaged groups who also possess the requisite inherent capabilities won't be implemented in time to assist any members of those groups who are alive today. For example, lawyers really don't meaningfully contribute to big law firms until they are 30. Accordingly, the emerging 30 year old lawyers in 2040 are currently 10 years old. It will be almost impossible for a disadvantaged 10 year old in 2020 to emerge as a 30 year old big law attorney in 2040. The die is already cast for the legal talent for the next several generations. The situation is no different in any other knowledge-based field.
We need to begin implementing reforms so that equal opportunity may be a reality for our grandchildren, but it will never exist while we are in the workforce or while our children are (speaking as a 40-something). That is a harsh reality that society probably won't accept.

Plenty of Black People get the same without assaulting police officers. All a Black Man needs to do is speak of for himself in order to receive the "Respect my Authoritie"
Cops will deliver that response to anyone they perceive as lacking power or resources.

Madchester yielded the most overrated music from the 90s and Britpop isn't far behind.

I said "many people here love pot-stirring, race-baiting grifters." Which is true.
I disagree. Almost everyone here hates you.

Will the current white protesters hate themselves like they hate the Boomers when they turn into them in 10 years?

If you have ever had the misfortune of attending an NFL game, you know that the vast majority of the diehard NFL fans aren't going to swallow the the NFL SJW era like so many Bloomin' Onions.

That's a slow weekend in Chicago. You know, all those "white supremacists" gunning each other down there.
I don't care who is doing the killing as long as there is plenty of it!!! I certainly don't give a shit that blacks kill twice as many whites every year than vice versa as long as the killing gets done. We should require Antifa and the white supremacists to battle on the streets of Portland until everyone on each side is dead and the city is burned to the ground. Access to the livestream can be sold as a pay per view and the proceeds can be used to remove the rubble and return the land to the Multnomah. The carcasses of the dead can be repurposed as fertilizer for the organic fields that will be planted where Portland once stood.

We'll get there, no need for abortion factories. Let this pandemic and the next one go free-range, take away ACA healthcare, deport anyone whose parents might not have been natural born citizens, continue to encourage white supremacists to go hunting brown people (border Wal-Marts are like hunting deer over a feeder, I hear).....you'll get to your dream soon enough.
It's going to take a while though if the white supremacists are only taking out 64 people every five years per your statistics above. Better to rely on Free Abortions for All. I am fine with a per capita reduction based on whatever groups you folks are currently splitting up the humans into.

Well I know yall tend to care more about property damage than loss of human life, but the white supremacists definitely have the kill count monopoly
Unquestionably. Need to replace all these burned out stores with abortion factories. This country would be far more livable with 200 million people in it.
-
No. We are now at the point where we are talking about the intentional overselling of white supremacy to redirect attention from the intentional overselling of the rising danger of antifa.

The more interesting question is how many times did he get out of other DUIs because he is Vince Young.

Was that before or after they bailed the rioters and looters out of jail?

2010s was the worst decade for music since the 1940s and I feel sorry for anyone who spent their teens and twenties in that decade. 2020s will probably be worse.
Beyonce is the most overrated human in history.
Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam are both dramatically overrated.
Grateful Dead is the best American rock band ever and second place is miles behind.
Springsteen is the only classic rock icon I'm not a big fan of.

I ask because you asked questions and then immediately came up with a conclusion that it's absurd, so I don't want to waste your time and mine by talking it through if you're not interested.
I'm interested in whether you are paid in rubles or yuan.

2020 US Open -- Winged Foot

Does the tree removal since 2006 make the winning score lower (i.e., more opportunities for recovery shots)?
