Then it really seems like you’re providing funds for slavery and wishing it wasn’t harmful.

Yes please

Are you organizing in any way to see that you can cooperate with like minded people? I’m not trying to be rude, but you should really think about the effect you want to leave on the world (not just you, everyone should).

That makes the world worse though. Do you really want to make the world a worse place?

I saw a video once of a guy asking students at an Indian university what they studied and what k meant to them. I can’t find it now, but there were easily a dozen answers and then the joke answer at the end was “it means she’s mad at me”

They went with American football, where “running back” and ”defense” refer to positions.

I think of the meme of first world problems as unimportant. Obesity is straight up killing people though, so I don’t know if it really fits. Especially because it’s so strongly inversely correlated with wealth. It’s literally a problem associated with living in the first world and being poor.

Whenever I see a one-bar prison or something like this, I think of earthquakes and the years of surgery you’d need to repair those organs

This is separate from tuition assistance, which they may also be eligible for. Unfortunately, the descendants of slaves are not only financially affected, but academically affected. Early interventions like reading to your young children and helping them with homework are reduced for the descendants of enslaved people, likely due to a combination of less favorable working conditions and the reduced academic involvement of their own parents.

This is an anecdote, but it’s stuck with me: I used to work in a call center and once spoke to a man my father’s age, whose grandparents (like my father’s) were sharecroppers. That man was not literate enough to write down a claim number, so he put his daughter on. I asked (impolitely, but I was too curious), and she explained that the majority of teachers in 1950s and 60s Alabama just didn’t care if a poor black kid learned to read. My father has a master’s degree. There’s no way this man’s daughter was read to as much as I was or given as much academic help as I was. That’s happening on a huge scale, and a lot of people will consider only my father’s merit, not this man’s consistent, overwhelming disadvantage.

There are still effects on education from slavery. This is one way to remedy that, but it’s not a complete solution to this problem, let alone sufficient reparations across the board. It doesn’t have to be though.

Lube slip’n’slide, here I cum

Some (most, if I’m being honest) of us are just pedants.

All little kids get into mischief, fact. Old man Nelson’s truck was eventually going to end up in the lake, fact. Why are you focusing on whether or not I crashed his truck into the lake?

Don’t you know? People forfeit their right to not be raped when they commit crimes, because that’s not cruel or unusual or anything.

Both had awful parents and public struggles with addiction, but people just like looking down on “party girls”

That’s the point

It would be too long with all of the -ini and -eti suffixes. Capellinettinettinettine ad infinitum

Well you better take him out!

You can modify it how you see fit, but it’s not street legal unless you fit emissions standards

Some fathered children during their deployments

That’s obviously comic-book villain levels of evil. How could you not realize that?
