I’m in favor of affirmative action because it attempts to correct discrimination. It’s not racist; it is racial. Affirmative action acknowledges that discrimination has existed and takes measures to attempt to prevent it.

I also think there’s a lot of people on here thinking that I’m mad about the Uber decision. I could not give a shit less about it because I refuse to use Uber. I’m just calling a spade a spade.

I understand the problem is real.

Discrimination is discrimination though.

They do care so that they can match yours and other people’s requests.

Right, they do so in order to organize people into specific categories, and provide different services based on those categories.

Uber doesn’t care what your race, gender, or political leaning is

Yes, they specifically do. They need to know the riders’ genders in order for pairing to work.

So MAGA racists with a preference for a white driver… that’s totally ok, right?

“I only want white drivers” - some racist.

It’s the same fucking thing.

It is. There’s already cases pending in California challenging it. It violates both Unruh Civil Right and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. If male drivers are getting less customers because they are male, and those customers are instead being sent to female drivers; explain like I’m 5 how that’s not blatant discrimination based on gender?

I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.

You didn’t ask me, but I’ve got something: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21390957/

I’ve understood that Women make better surgeons as well; for the exact same reason. Steadier hand.

Believe it or not, that’s actually the most recent revision to the training. The military has been training to aim for the dick area because everyone has plates that protect center-mass these days. You cannot effectively move AND have armor that restricts your legs from working.

They’re overpriced.

The default web interface is ass. Voyager kinda sucks too.

If you’re in the USA, you should be using a VPN 100% of the time right now.

Nord doesn’t do a whole lot for anyone so it’s pretty worthless.

That being said, I switched to Proton from Nord a few months ago and this shit isn’t working out either. Constantly flapping connection with Proton.

I need a different alternative.

Politics.

We have emboldened Nazis that have arsenals in their homes. Fascism hasn’t ever ended by voting it out.

If shit goes down, I want to be more proficient than the Nazis so that they can be my loot crate.

Do you still shoot and reload ammo?

I was very, very anti-gun until I was about 36… now I build them.

When my mom was pregnant with me in 1983, she got mugged at gunpoint in Baltimore and the gun was actually pointed at me while I was in the womb.

1.) If you think you’d be happier living somewhere else, start putting things into motion now. Moving is hard, but it’s harder when you’re older.

2.) If you’re depressed, working out will not make your depression worse. It’s supposed to help. Give it a shot. Don’t forget.

3.) Don’t have kids.

4.) Don’t date people that you think are dumb, even if they’re incredibly attractive.

Oh… now it’s time? It hasn’t been past due?
