The Check In: Betsy DeVos' Rollback of Civil Rights
1) Yes, but that's much more easily said than done, and many people disagree too. I feel that it's far cheaper to pay to educate other people's children (I have none) and have them become far more productive citizens than it is to insist (despite all evidence to the contrary) that hard work overcomes all obstacles, and everyone is capable of doing the work required for success. This theory removes responsibility to help others and puts blame squarely on those who've failed. Convenient, but just wrong.
2) In a vacuum, that makes sense, but not in real life. The refusal to acknowledge the disparities in opportunity to prepare for that singular performance is where the racism lies.
It's actually illegal to use just race over performance merit in most places as I understand it. Ethnicity/gender are usually only one small part of the equation. If they could be replaced with a numerical opportunity score, used to modify performance scores,
I would support that, but good luck figuring that one out to anyone's satisfaction.
3) Yes, people always resent being forced from a position of power. I do think it's important to constantly revisit the issue to insure policy doesn't foster inequities, particularly since that's the point of the policies, eradicating inequities.
4) Predicting the naive would be suckered by a professional con man telling them platitudes, sure, but predicting so many of the educated would go along for short sighted, purely tribal reasoning, that's tougher.
5) Certain groups of people have been claiming white men are the downtrodden powerless whipping boys since the 60's. It's getting closer to true, but we aren't near there yet, it just seems that way to those less socially powerful than their fathers. Sure, there are outliers where the white male gets the shaft due to race, but we still come out well ahead in the balance by any objective set of criteria..
1)Surely the solution should rather be to fix the real problem of unequal opportunity in primary education?
2) Even given disagreement on this, surely the left(you?) can acknowledge that reasonable good minded people could disagree? Surely it's an over-reaction to call people racist for believing that choosing students based upon performance and not race is a good thing? One has to acknowledge that the counter example, of using race before merit as a selection criteria is in fact the very definition of racism?
More importantly to the Democratic party though, allow me to gift them moral justice and rightness on the issue.
3) Even given that, practicality dictates that spending many years with a policies that choose certain people over more qualified others based upon race will create tensions. If you made that policy against say whites, or males, they might develop resentment.
4) One might predict that they may even vote against those imposing that policy, arguably even willingly voting for a kind of racist orange haired loud mouth that they hope will end the policy discriminating against them based upon their race.
5) You might even argue it's starting to happen already...
Driving By an Active Crime Scene
Except Hollywood never does it this well.
This is a random, real-life event, which, in theory, should be LESS interesting than a scripted show, because writers, directors, actors, etc. have the opportunity to ADD to reality. Instead it's the opposite. Hollywood never seems to make it half as interesting.
Yeah, totally thought it had to be some kind of film set or something wacky like that. Seeing the body-cam footage is nuts... as is the lady at the townhall meeting. "Yet another black or brown life taken" wtf. The guy opened fire on police and she's complaining that they shot back? Cuckoo.
Erlich Owning Kids - Silicon Valley
Erlich. Turns out he's a pretty bad bloke in real life.
He was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend in college. There's also a bunch of stories from various people (including the creator of Silicon Vallet, Mike Judge) about how he was just a nightmare to work with.
TBF, none of that is proven... but he was DEFINITELY in Transformers, and I just can't forgive shit like that.
Which one is TJ Miller?
Erlich Owning Kids - Silicon Valley
Love that scene.
Such a shame TJ Miller turned out to be such a fucking asshole in real life.
Thundercats Reboot
Haha, those bears. I would like to see a real life version. Just don't let Michael Bay touch it hough!
We all prefer the '80's, but we can't go back! We were all younger, and dumber then. I can't honestly love the thing without recognizing that it also had Ro-Bear Berbils.
How Diverging Diamonds Keep You From Dying
I've played around in cities skylines with this concept. If you take one direction and elevate it, you can eliminate the stop lights altogether. Works well in game, but the never-crash physics stop me from thinking it would work in real life.

The Stone Age Tribe on a Banned Island You Can't Visit
*fascinating. There is a real-life Star Trek Prime Directive thing happening here.
Obviously, we don't want to introduce disease to these people, but I'm pretty sure we have some stuff (medicine, plumbing, refrigeration, Stephen Colbert, etc) that would make their lives better. Interesting ethical conundrumm.
2 Drops Of Spilled Mercury Destroyed This Scientist's Brain
Two drops. That was 1.44g of mercury exposure. That's as much as ~300 fluorescent light bulbs. A "safe" level of mercury is considered to be 1 ppm.
This is real life horror show stuff. Mercury is a deadly Neurotoxin.
