nettle

I am confused how your analogy is different to the original one? the original one was also not affected by prior races.

A headstart would never be fair if gone untreated.

that's why the final results are calculated to eliminate the affect of anyone's headstart.

I think I must have misunderstood something with your comment. If you dont mind could you explain what I missed?

The analogy would be more accurate if everyone started at a random time, but darker-skinned runners started later on average.

Yes, they started an average hour later meaning when an hour is deducted from the darker skinned People's times, the results are more fair overall.

And even though for some indivules it is unfair, the starting situation is allready unfair and this alteration is a net positive for fairness.

It is not just skin colour that has effects on the starting time of course.

Don't worry I wouldn't have thought you were arguing, I'm glad you asked.

Woman's rights required huge societal reform, from being a mans property to being one's own self. I know we aren't all the way there in terms of woman's rights, but we have come a long way. (let's not go backwards now)

I was also thinking that the current capitalistic system is also much better than a system where power is based on bloodline like in many old Monarchy's but then I realised that if money is power, and money is inherited its not much different.

However one of our main societal reforms is using reason, logic and ethics over the supposed word of god. I have nothing against the notion of god (other than that it is objective truth), what I do take issue with is using God to manipulate people, people who think they must have faith in the word of god for them to be good people.

This puppetering of god by those in power and the blind trust of those below caused thousands of atrocities; the burning of witches, the rape of people, hundreds of conquests in the name of spreading gods word, and so, so many wars.

This again is not fully resolved in many countries. Such as Israel, were blind faith in the twisted words of god, twisted by a corrupt pollitition, has caused tens-of-thousands of innocent deaths.

But for the most part, developed countries have left gods word as secondary advice, and have not tried to manipulate the people by puppeteering their creator.

This is (imo) a crucial step for a more transperant society. Were you don't feel you are challenging your creators ideals, but just the ideals of a snob in a suit.

Tell me if I'm wrong but I would like to clarify something based on what Rhynoplaz said above that I feel they meant,

to clarify: I believe the CRT and DEI ideally have nothing to do with historical events.

(P.S. I don't know how the DEI and CRT work currently, this is my own opinion on a hypothetical best solution. (Open to ideas if I'm wrong))

The DEI and CRT have nothing to do with past events. It is not about putting everything in reverse, giving the darker skinned man a time cut for every future race because of all the 100s of past races he had to wait.

it is simply about the situation now, the current race, the current job application.

the DEI and CRT should ideally only be about removing the bias of the judge for that specific event, so that the final scores represent each person's actual time, there is not retribution, there is no repayment for past wrongs, it is only about making the current event, the current job market, fair for everyone.

So that when the scores for that specific day are finalized everyones time is what they actually ran.

The CRT finds what makes the specific event unfair, and the DEI fixes it so everyones time is what they actually ran.

It is only removing the current bias in the Official.

Poverty is a completely different (though somewhat related) issue.

Dealing with poverty isnt about removing the bias, it is about rebuilding the very constructs of our society into a place that does not rely on some working 24h to put food on there plate while others sit around ruling those below.

Capitalism does not exist without poverty, if everyone's rich, nobody is.

The only solution to this while keeping capitalism is to ensure every person has access to their human rights free of charge, but then our rulers would complain that these people living free of charge are lazy and sapping up your precious tax payer dollars that you worked your but off for.

no government organization can fix poverty, the entire current system for every current country is flawed, in order to get rid of poverty we must rebuild these systems from the ground up.

We've done it before and made the lives of millions better. and we can do it again.

I mean when writing an essay you should really be sourcing from the original source not Wikipedia, good thing Wikipedia lists the original source the info came from so you can just use that. (Unlike some websites the teacher said were better then Wikipedia which were just full of unchecked bullshit)

But for everything else Wikipedia is great

Can play games on them to, including clones of pacman, Doom, Super Mario land and pong.

I also have to thank some of my later science teachers for re-sparking my fascination in the scientific world, three of them were excellent teachers and made the class so entertaining you couldn't not be fascinated.

I would tinker for a bit but definitely not spend any more money on it as it's not worth the money. Where im from you can often find cheap B&W laser printers on facebook marketplace or another second-hand platform for free or for very cheap.

Laser printers will be much cheaper in the long run so I strongly recommend one. Unfortunately a good colour one is very expensive but old B&W ones like the Brother HL2130 are still great.

Facebook marketplace does suck but sometimes it's the only/best option, still steals your info tho

I got a question right on an electronics quiz about finding the resistance in a curcuit (I have verified I was right).

My science teacher who didn't know how to do it in the first place and was just looking at the (incorrect) answer schedule said I was wrong. I just said "I don't think so but ok" even though I knew I was right as I did not want to argue. As she was walking away I explained to my friend why I was right, my teacher overheard me and came storming to the table saying:

"WHEN I SAY IM RIGHT I AM RIGHT! AND WHEN I SAY YOUR WRONG YOU ARE WRONG!"

At the top of her lungs.

I was just a kid so it put me off science for a bit tbh.

Don't finish one thing before you start another. instead keep a special list of things you want to do and loop between them, as you get board of one move onto the next one. As long as you are determined to get everything done. And make sure the list is short enough so that you can actually get things finished after a couple of loops.

I find this makes getting things done much more enjoyable for me, and stops me procrastinating. just make sure none of the tasks on the list are procrastination's in disguise.

And of course, rest when you need it. proper rest, not exhausting yourself thinking you're procrastinating. Just rest, then carry on.

Brutal for everyone underneath, but the flowers of Dionaea muscipula are on long stalks keeping you safely above the gaping jaws below.

Just make sure not to have any fermented plum juice before you go, as you may be to tipsy to stick the landing:

Red Admiral butterflies getting drunk on plums

I would choose a nettle, as Admiral Butterflies do. There flowers aren't extravagant but the poison tipped spines are very good protection.

Which nettle you may ask (as there are many)

Ideally Urtica sykesii for its beautiful triangular leaves perfectly embellished with triangular edges which itself have beautiful spikes (one of my favorite plants).

For added protection the most dangerous nettle Urtica ferox a nettle so big it has become a woody tree with thick spikes as long as your nose, loaded with enough poison to kill a dog or leave a man limp for weeks (I would make sure no dogs are harmed). The beautiful red admirals favorite choice.
