One step towards removal of non-loyalists from the federal government, one of Hitlers first steps towards gaining complete authority.

DEI is literally oversight to ensure that there ISNT racism . For example, it includes:

  • Outreach programs to talk to people in underrepresented communities to tell them that opportunities exist

  • Avoiding biased language and assumptions in the hiring process that would negatively impact people of certain demographics

  • Hiring authorities that prevent bias against the disabled and veterans

  • Audits and data to see if an organization has decided to just be racist and reject non-white applicants

Your argument is, we should remove people's protections because if we taught everyone better they wouldnt be discriminatory.

Maybe if they were useful anywhere outside of system apps, id use it more. You can't even bind it to things like liking a song on Spotify. At that point you might as well just use a smart watch - more convenient anyways. I think the remote button for camera was useful though

You made it to Friday

But at what cost

[–] jjagaimo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You pay private driving schools to 1) rent a car and 2) for lessons. There are no lessons offered through normal school itself, save for some select places and maybe some colleges.

People see kids can be smart because of the end result, but they often dont understand the struggle or effort they have to put in to achieve that. Especially when kids are put into competition against each other in school and they get praised for doing well and chastised for doing poorly on metrics that they fundamently will have problems with (e.g kids woth adhd, autism, etc) or dont make sense. They push kids until their breaking point and then act like its the kids fault for collapsing at the finish line and getting burnt out.

What many people also dont get is that often teaching practices that work well for people with conditions like adhd, autism, dyslexia, etc are also better for students without them. Same for work practices. Its odd to me that we go out of our way to punish everyone for no reason.

Hitler opened the meeting by boasting that millions of Germans had welcomed his chancellorship with “jubilation,” then outlined his plans for expunging key government officials and filling their positions with loyalists. At this point he turned to his main agenda item: the empowering law that, he argued, would give him the time (four years, according to the stipulations laid out in the draft of the law) and the authority necessary to make good on his campaign promises to revive the economy, reduce unemployment, increase military spending, withdraw from international treaty obligations, purge the country of foreigners he claimed were “poisoning” the blood of the nation, and exact revenge on political opponents. “Heads will roll in the sand,” Hitler had vowed at one rally.

Sounds about right in line

I'd rather see organizations that I can join and DO something rather than give money to. So many organizations will take your money but dont want to talk to you otherwise.

The American Chestnut was nearly wiped out in the US due to chestnut blight introduced by imported Japanese chestnut trees. Researchers have pursued two main avenues for repopulating the American Chestnut: direct genetic modification / engineering (above link) and cross breeding with Chinese Chestnuts (blight resistant) then re-breeding the result back with American chestnuts. This is to hopefully keep it as close to American chestnuts while also gaining blight resistance.

I've never had chestnuts, even though it used to be one of Eastern Americas most populous trees. I was hoping I could get some and plant them around here and there but we aren't to the point that they're commercially available yet (though available by request)
