I’m open to the possibility that Chinese law enforcement has some kind of racial/ethnic bias against a minority group or that the anti-extremism campaign has had excesses, but comparing that to the systematic campaign of starvation and slaughter being carried out by Israel is absurd. I say “whatever you think China is doing” because you seem to think you can compare it to the modern Holocaust happening right now. Is China butchering people by the thousands? Are they starving a million children to death?

Comparing what Israel is doing with whatever you think China is doing makes it clear which one is worse.

A new study of hearing sensitivity across global populations has revealed that women consistently have more sensitive hearing than men—by about two decibels on average—regardless of age or where they live. The researchers also found that the local environment plays a significant role in shaping how our ears respond to different sound frequencies

Does environment effect hearing or not??

Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.

It’s study time.

Maybe this is a lesson and it doesn’t matter what bathrooms we use?

Well of course a layperson would think that!

As if Google isn’t already crammed with Israeli spies. In fact, that’s probably why an Israeli company just got a sweetheart buy out from Google! This is just a continuation of a pre-existing issue Google already had.

Once I was on my bike and someone stopped to let me across the street, holding up a ton of traffic. In order to not be rude and force everyone to stop for me I rode across as fast as I could and then got hit by a car coming the other way.

Don’t be polite. Be predictable.

Ever play as a level 1 adventurer in a tabletop game?

Getting gored by a pig is just how the game goes sometimes.

Don’t worry, the US won’t exist in 40-50 years.

Right, it doesn’t matter if automation is less productive if it’s cheaper. Sure, the robots keep causing damage, but they don’t ask for wages.

Meanwhile here in Iowa our automated materials towing robots keep dumping shit on the floor, running into sensitive equipment, and injuring people.

Death to US.

The statue should be given to a nation that deserves it, not some colonial power.

Give it back to you? How about you pay repairations to Haiti or Algeria or any of your other former colonies before you act like you’re worthy of the Mother of Exiles?

The poem at the base of the statue, The New Colossus, makes its meaning pretty clear.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

The US never lived up to the promise the statue made.

… do you think Midwesterners have undeveloped reasoning skills on par with 16 year olds? I mean you readily admit that you expect stupid actions from them.

This country was founded on dehumanizing people.

The case right now is, if you can’t afford what you want, you can’t choose it. They don’t get to choose for themselves, the market chooses for them!

If I have to choose between market decision making and democratic decision making, I’ll choose democracy. At the very least, a democratic process leaves no one homeless.

The incentive structure for landlords creates these conditions, it’s not some individual failing of their moral character. Individual tyrants aren’t better than corporate tyrants.
