Former Seattle city council member actually wants to see Harris lose to trump. It’s wild: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/at-seattle-rally-sawant-says-harris-deserves-to-lose-1000-times/

You know anyone can look up arrest records and see how inaccurate your statement is.

“Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC News) adheres to the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles. The Poynter Institute developed these principles to promote excellence and standardization in Fact-Checking.”

Seems like they are on board with those principals. Also, explain how it’s partisan please.

It takes some getting used to. And maybe looping games isn’t everyone’s cup of tea(e.g. Majora’s mask).

But the exploration, the knowlesge based progression, the cleverness of the story, and its delivery is absolutely brilliant.

I used the API to see what mods were censoring. The lack of mod transparency is gross.

People who spend 8 hours a day or more commenting on Lemmy shouldn’t be moderators. I think they have an unhealthy perspective on life and it shows.

But we could face similar issues in 2028

Id be happy with Bernie

I liked it. Unfortunately aside from valve, no serious studio has put any resources into making a good vr game.

Sitting games could be big on vr. Flight/space sims could be awesome.

I hope so too, that has to be a very difficult situation for working parents to navigate.

employers are permitted to require staff to work up to two unpaid hours per day for a limited period in return for more free time.

Wow.

Equality and equity are different, as it has been defined by the social justice movements in the US. This definition has been adopted in mainstream usage for a while now. I’m surprised by your question, I feel this would be common knowledge to most people in western societies by this point. But I’m happy to answer if you are asking in good faith.

Equality is sort of the color-blind approach to treating people equally, with little to no regard for their race. It looks at their individual circumstances, not making broad assumptions based on their racial background. For the record, color blind doesn’t mean we dont seek to identify and correct racial issues, it just means we typically do so without creating race specific policies and instead apply the policies to everyone.

Equity is contrasted to that by putting race front and center, and often above all else when making decisions on resource allocation. It’s how we get policies that broadly focus on racial groups.

Speaking to the movement more broadly, In order to justify equity, anything that can be measured through the lens of race will be(deconstruction) and any difference in outcome will be flagged as racism, but only if white people are on the advantagous side.

Why is this bad? Don’t POCs need help?

They often do, but our racial based policies to correct them are often counterproductive, discriminatory, or even harmful. Our need based programs already disproportionately benefit them, and will continue to do so more if we bolster them. Here’s some quick examples of equitable efforts, just to give you an idea of how it manifests. These are extremely condensed, but I could pull links later if you want them.

• Misguided attempt to remove sat scores from college admissions because of claims it’s inequitable.
• Despite overwhelming evidence that helmets save lives, helmet laws were cut because some demographics didn’t wear them as often.
• College students giving free covid masks to minorities but saying white people must pay.
• There was an attempt to create a math framework that attempts to deconstruct mathematics into a racist construct.
• When a professor did a comprehensive study of police violence and found no disparity in some aspects of policing, he was advised not to publish the results.

The pursuit of “equity” is a tribalistic and often racist effort that rebuilds and reinforces the systemic racism we’ve been trying to dismantle for decades.

100% recommend a sphynx. Out of all the cats I’ve had in my life it was my favorite.

I Googled some extremely invasive weed(creeping buttercup) and Google suggested to let it be, quoting some awful reddit comment.

Enclose it and make a secret door to enter.

Don’t disagree but surely it’s not impossible to add some regulations to protect the consumers here.

We have always subsidized having kids over those who don’t. And honestly its the best use of our tax dollars. What do you think school is? Also, parents pay taxes before and after they raise children.

Being in a relationship makes it easy to have sex.

No issues?

You guys must be doing it way better over there. Over the course of many years, 12,000 children have been sexually abused in some way while in the boy scouts of America program.
