What's there to get? I'm not being condescending, just asking honestly what you're getting at. They don't identify with either gender. That's it. If you get that there's nothing else to get. That's for them, and they likely hope that you'll honor and respect that but they likely won't be surprised if you don't or if you can't. Take it out of the realm of gender and it's easier to understand imo. What do you identify as in life? A business owner? A good citizen? A Christian? What if you still identify as a Christian but you start believing things that 90+% of Christians don't believe? They'll probably say you're not one, but your identification with that label has nothing to do with them and isn't dependent on their approval. That's for you to be able to navigate life however you want or need. "I think someone who works really hard should enjoy their vacation." "I've got a friend who lives in Texas. They love tacos." "Could you please let whoever left their umbrella in the office know that they can find it in the lost and found?" Trans people participating in sports at a high level is something we really haven't figured out how to wrestle with effectively, and honestly I don't know what the solution is. It's a very minor issue overall, but doesn't mean it's not something to figure out especially in the case of trans women having an unfair advantage.

For the ones who stand to benefit with power it's just a convenient tribe-reinforcing No True Scotsman fallacy. For the ones who, imo, truly meet and follow the real Jesus, they do away with silly things like gatekeeping a label or participating in that socio-cultural spiritual tribe in the first place.

Well at least they correctly identified that it was trolls who started this.

OOF just barely

Sexual orientation and gender identity have nothing to do with each other other than the first is informed, relatively, by the second. At the end of the day these are just terms and labels, but if she is in a relationship with a woman, that's a "gay" (or lesbian, or however they want to define it) relationship.

"Every day someone on the other side of the aisle and either subtly or comes right out and suggests... if you want to debate me on the merits of our particular policies I am happy to have that discussion" Continues for a few minutes not debating anything related to policy whatsoever but subtly suggests that everyone on the other side of the aisle is racebaiting and not operating in good faith. Lol ok.

The word nationality means what nation you are from. First of all, Asia isn't a nation. Second, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we have people on the Supreme Court from any of the following countries (not an exhaustive list): Afghanistan Albania Argentina Australia Belgium Brazil Canada Cuba Czech Republic China Egypt Ethiopia Finland France Fiji Finland Ghana Haiti Honduras Iran Iraq Jamaica Japan Jordan Kenya Laos Lebanon Libya Madagascar Malaysia New Zealand Nicaragua Nigeria Norway Pakistan Panama Peru Phillipines Serbia Singapore South Africa South Korea Spain Sri Lanka Sweden Switzerland Taiwan Thailand Turkey Uruguay Venezuela Vietnam Zimbabwe

Where's the scientific consensus that black people's evolution and genetics make them more athletically gifted?

Kind of a sidebar from the conversation, but was interested after seeing that Casey talked with Tim Beck about NU before transferring. It's a damn shame Beck had such a particular struggle pop up from time to time as an in-game playcaller. His offense was fun, inventive and the perfect modern reimagination of what made Nebraska Nebraska for so long. In the future I wouldn't at all be upset to see Beck come back as a Co-OC - he designs the offense and someone else with a better feel for flow and strategy calls the actual plays.

I know lots of pastors who think something very similar about how hard it is for Christians in America right now and how the world is out to get them. Doesn't make it anywhere close to true.

This show is so bad they have to bring in Mando to be the main character in someone else's show to make it interesting.

I think I agree with the perspective. But I really doubt I'd agree with Rob on what that actually means.

I mean... That looks like it can easily include an imagined terrible sunburn. But, the really easy explanation is that the planet's atmosphere and the planet's sun are different compositionally.

Who would be dumb enough to ever try and stop a robbery? The business has insurance. Don't be a hero.

I also just got an audio ad for Keystone mountain....I can't find where it's coming from though.

I'm 100% in favor of all ways of making obtaining ID easier for everyone, but at the same time, eating out at a restaurant isn't a constitutional right, nor is it the bedrock of our democracy.

Lost Creek elementary in Columbus Columbus Middle School Rising City Public Schools Don't blame me, blame the crap education in our home state.

Slavery, the Civil War and freeing the slaves and Underground Railroad, and MLK/Rosa Parks were the only things I/we ever learned in school (at any level), and those were from a very 30,000 foot view. Here's a non-exhaustive list of some things I've learned about as an adult since leaving the education system. I'm curious if you think any of these are inappropriate to teach in public school history/social studies curriculum? Redlining The Indian Removal Act and the Homestead Act The Naturalization Act Jim Crowe The Tuskegee Airmen Experiments The Social Security Act excluding agricultural workers and domestic servants (read, black, mexican and asian) The GI Bill

That's one of the silliest and most unnecessary things I've seen in a long time. Academia bubble clownsmanship at the highest level.

Not if you know what the word 'relatively' means, and see that what it's in relation to are things like the government of a country.

This is how/where this conversation gets so difficult. It's not that there's nothing valuable or legitimate about the effects of cultures on the people inside of them, but... in the context of race-related issues it usually seems at least decently misguided. One thing I think almost always missed in the "be responsible and work hard and you'll succeed" mantra is an acknowledgment of how easily certain groups can still succeed without being responsible and working hard compared to others. Another is why the primary onus and burden of responsibility should be focused on relatively powerless individuals and not on the large and infinitely more powerful entities who impact them.

Okay just wanted to make sure we're on the same page that he never actually said the election, "probably won’t be legitimate" and that's just your interpretation of what he meant. Cool carry on.

Link to where he used the bolded words please, thanks.

Encouraging people to take responsibility for themselves is one thing; using that to conveniently ignore or disproportionately care less about abuses/disadvantages/unfairness of systems, infrastructure and culture is another. I'm a huge fan of individual responsibility; I'm also a huge fan of diagnosing and fixing why two separate irresponsible people can have dramatically different life results, and why two separate responsible people can as well. As far as asian cultures and their "model minority" success in America, that's a highly complex and multi-faceted topic. The successes are easy to graph and document, the costs of that success aren't as easy. Things like internalized shame and dishonor, as well as unimaginable burdens of pressure and stress of expectations placed upon young Asian people are as widespread as their high earnings and academic performance. Another thing to think about, although I don't know if there's much research on this, is that there's a "purifying" self-selection process at work in cultures who are only coming here voluntarily. Large portions of the black population in America has generational ancestry going back to hundreds of years of slave trade by force. Large portions of the hispanic population are driven by desperation for any available work and geographical proximity. Most of the asian people coming here and staying are the smartest and/or richest and/or most resourceful, which leads to a very understandable selection bias and high social performance. There *is* a conversation to be had about healthy cultures producing healthy results, no matter what skin color or background somebody has. But it's a very difficult conversation to have in good faith because it's nearly always lacking in nuance and the right questions and too often is full of unnecessary blame.
