Serak The Preparer

Clipping to address what I think is a real issue. I will ask you the same thing that I asked @HRSchenker and @CfRhTxStBobcats (and which they refuse to answer for some reason). Why are you convinced that you know what the result of these actions will be. You have a group of students and athletes looking for a change (presumably something that will make them feel better) and you are saying they are wrong. How can you know their minds and expectations better than they do? I can only speak for myself, but I don't think disagreement about the next step indicates racism. But I do think that assuming you know how a group feels without even talking to them comes pretty darn close. Not in the "n-word" or denying an apartment level, but definitely in the "I know more that that group does" level. It is not white guilt or "wokeness" to say "I hear what you are saying. You have a voice", especially when that voice has not previously been heard.

I don't know. I even stated explicitly that I am not saying you are wrong. I agree that I know nothing about you or your background, so I am not sure why you think that I do. I only thought it was odd that you both stated that you were sure you knew how other groups felt. I don't think you need to add IMO to your post as that is implied. But if I stated that (to just make up an example) Indian people just fucking love Burger King, I would expect to be called on that if that is contrary to expectation. To be quite clear, I know nothing about the Canadian National Anthem situation, as an example. I do presume, however, that in that case, women felt more aggrieved and tried to change the anthem. It is still a mystery to me why @HRSchenker then feels certain that they didn't feel it sexist. And again, to be, clear, he may be right! But is this surety coming from talking to anyone affected? Same for you? Have you talked to black students or former athletes about the names of buildings? Maybe you have, I don't know. Please enlighten me!

But you didn't say that you don't find it sexist and you didn't claim that it is not objectively sexist. You specifically said that you don't think Canadian women find it sexist. What led you to this conclusion?

@HRSchenker and @CfRhTxStBobcats, why are both of you so sure you understand those view points of people different from you? How many Canadian women have you talked to about this issue? What about black students or athletes? Why do you presume your opinion is the universal one? I am not saying that either one of you is wrong, by the way, but the surety of knowing someone else's mind is surprising to me.

If you're into noses. His prosthetic hasn't had nearly the lasting social impact.

And there is still the completely cowardly lack of follow-through on thought. Ok, so you recognize that not all minorities are equally disadvantaged. You even recognize the Nigerian immigrants do better than US-born African Americans. But wait, if it's not systemic racism, then tell me, WHY is it they US-born African Americans are disadvantaged? Something in the culture, something in the genes, something else? If it is not systemic racism, please, I would love to hear the explanation. Is it really just the democratic party as the author suggests?

That must have been a hell of a 16 minutes. From (I think sincere?) "Fair point ... I just went about it entirely wrong" to temper tantrum. Stay strong Lobo.

Jesus you get self-important sometimes. You didn't ruin shit. You just took things farther than made some people comfortable. They told you. And then you throw this shit-fit and complain that you are the only one acting like an adult. My 9 year old is doing the same thing right now.

It's amazing how much wordier and more effort this takes than "You know what, you're right. I didn't think about that, and will try to keep that in mind in the future."

I always love the completely random cameo by Loudon Wainwright III in that scene. He has some cool songs.

And gosh, retail stores were KILLING IT before COVID-19 and shutdowns. I have all my stock in JC Penny and Sears and am doing just fine...

Repeating the question is rookie level. Follow up with the natural conclusion: "Oh, so is the fact that black people are disproportionately likely to be in jail due to some inherent quality of being a black person? Does being black make you more likely to commit a crime?

"Followed with TxTow and .... wait, we've just been told we are going off air."

Black lives matter is not ambiguous. You should reach out to the community who created the slogan and let them know your opinion on how it should have been named.

I thought maybe it was because you wouldn't shut up about Texas.

You stupid fuck, nobody in that picture tear gassed peaceful protesters on their way to this photo op.

How do you say SCUBA? Radar? Laser? NASA? Those are all acronyms (although clearly radar and laser have become pretty dissociated from their origins). I am team "jif" and don't really give much of a shit how anyone pronounces it. That said, arguments centered around the fact that the "g" in graphic should guide pronunciation makes no sense, given that is not how acronyms work.

Based on stereotypes that women are bad at math.

@jimmyjazz be better. I know it's hilarious in DT for onboard and others to post gifs of women being bad at math but would be nice to have less of that in CR.

100% agree with you on the edit. Dropping a link to an article without saying what is important or why it should be read or linking a video / tweet with no context is really irritating.

Do you think you have a reputation of political / social beliefs? While not everything you post is political by any means, I don't think anyone would have to try real hard to figure out where you stand on a given issue. Similarly, if BurntEyes posts something about gun, given his passionate and out-spoken beliefs on 2A, is that immediate dismissal into CR? I don't think it should be, for either of you. Reputations do matter, but content should matter more.

How the fuck is this not in black sharpie? Extreme Neg! SAD!

Guys you are all missing aggy's master plan. As Billy said, all the good commits are going to decomitt since they haven't taken visits. Where else are the going to go that has so many spots?

I'll put you down for a yes then, and look for tweets from other bishops angry at Trump for going to church.
