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.

That's because somewhere along the way those phrases also became dogwhistles.

I interpret what he's saying as the risk of threats which would create an illegitimate election are correlated to how far they are able to go in securing and protecting elections. The less secure, the more risk of illegitimacy. That's not controversial.

The line between the two is blurry and vague at best, imo. Or at least it would behoove us to see it that way. If the only room you have in your definition of racism is explicit animosity and "I HATE ________", that's a very narrow scope that doesn't do much of anything to address the biggest and most impactful ways that people are subtly and indirectly discriminated against, intentional or not.

The main point you keep harping on is focused around the question that was asked of him and not what his response was. His answer had little, almost nothing, to do with the question that was actually asked. They asked him about 2022, and he was answering in regards to 2020, then when he was directed more specifically to the future he said, "Oh, 2022" and was then laying out a hypothetical scenario. There's nothing to push back on.

Wait what? I thought it was the opposite, that Frost was playing the long game trying to instill culture and building blocks. If he was trying to win early at the cost of culture then.... why the f#&% didn't we win anything?

Don't think he's referring to any specific game, and I think that's pretty obvious.

I chalk this up to being similar to Biden's gaffe when he said poor kids are just as bright as white kids.

Musically I'd probably hang in house 8. Culturally, I think I'd probably enjoy 3 the most - especially if Spike Jonze is hanging out there. I wanna stay away from any of the houses that have a woman in them though - the sexual tension and alpha male competition energy would be far too dramatic for me. On the other hand, it'd be great entertainment watching legends and icons suddenly start becoming middle school boys

This seems like it's entirely boom or bust. I can't really see a middle ground for a show like this, and I'm starting skeptical but hoping to be surprised. Amazon has done a fantastic job with The Boys and one or two other IPs, but the added weight and attention of LOTR brings the added temptation to chase a buck.
