@AldamsScott The overwhelming majority of WW are not confronting their families or spouses about racism like the woman in this video is doing.

I can’t believe I watched all 23 minutes of this girl confronting her family about being racist but it was fascinating to witness. They use every trope in the book to deflect and gaslight her. But she stood her ground.

I think it's time #MLB revisits one aspect of the Ohtani rules and eradicate the exemption the #Dodgers get to carry an extra pitcher. I'm ok with allowing him to DH when he pitches and remain in game but roster advantage not fair in my opinion.

@RpsAgainstTrump What a bullshit take. I think a lot of people are questioning Catholicism after this heretic shit show from Leo. This is not about Trump over religion. It's about a religion that has turned away from God.

“As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic” Fox News’ Sean Hannity makes it pretty clear: Trump comes before everything, even over his religion. It’s a cult.

@godknowsdgj1 For those who need to see the full computation to understand why you need to isolate X, the first one teaches more and you learn more. The second is just a quicker way to solve it but it’s not applicable to everything. Solving math and learning math are two different things.

@HeraldOfRome Who’s making the argument that Rome fell because of immigrants? Plenty argue that barbarian migrations contributed to the collapse but I’ve never heard of immigration within the empire having any role.

The argument that Rome fell because of immigration-driven population replacement doesn't really hold up when you look at the genetic and historical evidence. 90+% of the "immigrants" into Roman era Italy were ancient Greeks, coming from the most developed regions in the world with the most educated populations. They don't really count as immigrants since they were simply moving from one Roman province to another, and in most cases they were moving into areas of Italy that Greeks had already colonized and settled centuries earlier. The difference in the Imperial period is that they were now also moving into central and north Italy. So the basic premise of a totally foreign population flooding in is already wrong. What actually happened was the opposite of the decline story. They arrived centuries before the western collapse and a millennium and a half before the eastern one, and the populations they contributed to went on to produce some of the highest measured cognitive profiles in pre-modern Europe. Once you line up the genetics, the timeline, and the outcomes, this fairy tale falls apart. 90+% of the "immigrants" into Roman era Italy were ancient Greeks, coming from the most developed regions in the world with the most educated populations. They don't really count as immigrants since they were simply moving from one Roman province to another, and in most cases they were moving into areas of Italy that Greeks had already colonized and settled centuries earlier. The difference in the Imperial period is that they were now also moving into central and north Italy. You can see their genetic contribution clearly in modern Italians, which hasn't changed much since antiquity apart from minor Germanic admixture in the north. Southern Italians (Calabria, Campania, Sicily) carry 63–67% Roman-era Ancient Greek-like ancestry. Central Italians (Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria, Marche) carry 49–56%. Even northern Italians (Lombardy, Veneto, Liguria) carry 29–33%. The same Roman-era Ancient Greek-like signal shows up at around 20% in Iberia. This is not a foreign population replacing natives because it's a continuation and expansion of a Mediterranean genetic cline that already existed. The samples from Imperial Italy, around 1–200 AD (after the big migration into Italy had already happened), were mostly Greek mixed, and scored higher on PGS EDU/IQ than other Europeans, higher even than medieval Europeans who lived 1,000 years later. So the so-called "immigrants" were still smarter than the surrounding European populations. The timeline alone destroys the argument of collapse due to population replacement. The main Roman-era migration into Italy happened around 150–50 BC. The western empire fell in 476 AD, roughly 500 to 600 years later. The eastern empire fell in 1453 AD, roughly 1,500 years later. What kind of "population replacement causes civilizational collapse" mechanism takes 600 to 1,500 years to produce its effect? At that point they're not actually describing a causal process, because when your supposed cause and effect are separated by 600 to 1,500 years with an entire functioning empire in between, they're just pointing at two distant events and asserting a connection without explaining how one led to the other. If you want to argue demographics mattered for 476 specifically, the only even remotely plausible candidate is Germanic migration, and specifically the fact that Germanic immigrants became overrepresented in military commands in the 4th and 5th centuries due to corrupt political decisions by emperors and regents. And those Germanics most likely had lower intelligence than the Italians they were displacing in military roles, since medieval samples from Germany and medieval Viking samples score lower on PGS IQ/EDU than Imperial Italian samples. But even this wasn't population replacement. It was a minority being overrepresented in military positions, not a demographic shift in Italy itself. The eastern half of the empire, populated by exactly the same Greek stock that had settled central Italy centuries earlier, continued for another 1,000 years and remained the most developed civilization for centuries after the West fell. The genetics were basically the same, yet the outcome was the opposite, which is something the hypothesis cannot explain. The actual genetic evidence, as far as it goes, points in the opposite direction. Pre-modern civilizations appear to show selection for higher intelligence and lower rates of mental disorders, not against.

@ThomasJCarcetti @tiff4mahogany It would be no exaggeration to say that way too many failed “artists” swerved to politics because it gives them a stage to perform for the affirmation they say desperately need.

Quite simply, these types of emotional outbursts are accepted by the Padres. We have seen numerous examples in recent years. If he did this with the Dodgers, Dave Roberts would have benched him. It all comes down to clubhouse expectations and culture.
