  • The average Black American is ~1/3 white (because of all the rape of enslaved women, basically) so he's not that much off the average there.

  • No, they're still racist because their actions (e.g. voting for Trump) increase racial inequality.

  • I live in a townhouse that's also a condo, and call it one or the other depending on the context. Structurally it's a townhouse, legally it's a condo.

  • An apartment is a structural classification (one of many separate dwellings within the same building, usually flats); a condo is a legal classification for how ownership of a dwelling works (collective ownership of parts of a property, individual ownership of other parts). If a home is both, it's usually referred to as a condo, so "apartment" usually implies that it's rented.

  • Same!

  • The simplest explanation is that they didn't do any tests, and this whole kerfuffle is a very successful act of revenge on the IOC, Khelif, and the rest of the sports world.

  • True, but largely irrelevant. There is no evidence that Khelif has XY chromosomes aside from an accusation by one corrupt Russian boxing official, made after Khelif beat a Russian boxer. They have not produced the test, said where it was done or what the results were.

    Here's an AP News article with lots of information on the IBA and why their claims about Khelif are suspect: https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-khelif-russia-boxing-b53b1edda21139d14a572bd35ca440e6

  • They want them to be so desperate to keep their 3 shitty minimum-wage jobs that they won't complain about mistreatment. It's slavery with extra steps.

  • "It would have to be built" seems fairly obvious and I wouldn't call that a logistical issue.

  • "Other children my own age", sure. You weren't seducing 22-year-old men.

  • The right thing to do if a 12-year-old makes sexual advances on an adult is for the adult to report it because the 12-year-old is probably being abused!! Not to have sex with them!! What the fuck?! (Not that I believe this shit for a second but even if it were true that makes him just as much of an abuser.)

  • It tends to break chat bots because those are mostly pre-written prompts sent to ChatGPT along with the query, so this wipes out the pre-written prompt. It's anarchic because this prompt can get the chat bot to do things contrary to the goals of whoever set it up.

  • If you're willing to do "whatever it takes" including instituting fascism, you're a fascist.

  • I believe they do this the same way they do traffic jams, by seeing how many android phones are at the location vs. average.

  • Patriarchy oppresses us all.

  • There are plenty of women who live like this now. It's a cultural thing, not a timeline thing. I had a roommate in college who would wake up before dawn to do her makeup so nobody would see her without it.

    (Also high society women certainly didn't make their own breakfasts... well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)

  • From the video it looks like the plastic rings are casings and the wheels are inside them, and the wheels poke out at the bottom. Seems dumb to me.

    You can kind of see it here but it looks like they're intentionally hiding a good view of it with angles/lighting:
