@iTz_STOGG Keep working 💪🏽🔥

I’m still in the garage gym getting that work in. Down to 179 and currently on my second cut. Short term goal is to get to 175-178. Long term goal is to get down to 160-165 (may be skinny skinny at that point lol). Have a lot of stomach to lose. #STOGGKNOWS #1LOVE

@RCSaysYouCan Exactly.

@MarrioRobertsJr Boom, you nailed this one Mario. If you’re not ready to do the difficult things during difficult times, it will be easier to just stay on the couch.

If you want to raise your life to the next level, but you aren’t willing to work toward it consistently for a long time, you might as well not waste your energy getting started.

@OriginalToriar @moabayi86676 @drantbradley You falsely believe affirmative action did exactly what it was intended to do. In many spaces, it’s a front. Same with DEI. Some people and spaces have adapted. Many haven’t. There is truth to both sides. Acting as if there is only one right perspective is the problem.

@MarrioRobertsJr @moabayi86676 @drantbradley No, affirmative action, the father of DEI, was necessary for awhile, but that necessity waned over time. It was unnecessary around 20 years ago as we became an fully integrated society.

Irony: many who are praising him now in conservatives circles are the same people who said, very recently, that if they walked on a plane and saw that he was the pilot, they'd be nervous to fly and might walk off the plane assuming he was DEI pilot. Feel free to link them below.

@OriginalToriar @moabayi86676 @drantbradley Before DEI came around, all hires were supposedly based on merit, right? Yet many minorities were constantly passed on for opportunities they were well-qualified for. So, merit-based hiring wasn’t being applied consistently. It favored a specific cultural in-group.

@moabayi86676 @MarrioRobertsJr @drantbradley That's true. That is a belief based on facts about DEI. Just imagine if we hired on merit instead. Nobody would ever be accused of being a DEI hire. The left caused this.

@OriginalToriar @moabayi86676 @drantbradley Without DEI policies in place, minorities are overlooked at a much higher rate than others. Naturally, when a person is hired for a position, multiple qualified candidates are passed on. The problem is that in many cases, those decisions favor the majority. DEI addresses that.

@moabayi86676 @MarrioRobertsJr @drantbradley I have seen it done to straight white men multiple times as well. Both are wrong, but one is accepted by the DEI crowd and is literally the definition of systemic racism.

@OriginalToriar @TheDaddyBottom @drantbradley You see what you want to see. And typically you choose to see whatever confirms your view of reality and affirms your identity. If you think your perspective is the only explanation of the world, you are incredibly delusional.

@TheDaddyBottom @MarrioRobertsJr @drantbradley Are you retarded? I said TODAY

@duffdog75 @drantbradley With no personal knowledge about who a person is or what their qualifications are, what criteria do you use to determine that they were not the most qualified candidate? Many people use skin color as their sole criteria. They see brown and assume = not qualified + “DEI hire”.

I don't make that assumption. I know that the minimum standards have been met. However, we all want the MOST qualified individuals in positions that matter when safety is a factor, not just those that pass the minimum standard. I agree with policies that lead to broader exposure to opportunities which may lead to finding more highly qualified individuals. That clearly hasn't always been done.

@OriginalToriar @drantbradley You find what you look for.

@MarrioRobertsJr @drantbradley Really? There's literally no evidence of that today.

@OriginalToriar @drantbradley You aren’t understanding that there are many cases in which minorities are the best candidate, yet are not considered due to conscious or unconscious hiring biases. There are equally qualified people across all races. Yet one race gets opportunities at a higher rate. Hence DEI.

@drantbradley You aren't understanding that this actually proves our point. He was chosen through merit. There was no mandate with Nasa to use DEI and he was chosen anyway because of who he is, not the color of his skin. This is literally proof that DEI is not only unnecessary, it's racist.

@basedfuckery @drantbradley And your feeble brain fails to comprehend that… get this… it is possible for a minority to be the most qualified candidate for a role. Yet, due to (conscious or unconscious) hiring biases (which you just displayed), they are often not considered without DEI policies in place.

@duffdog75 @drantbradley Where you fail is assuming that companies don’t ensure that the people they hire for those roles ALSO meet all qualifications. Many minorities who are well-qualified get overlooked due to conscious OR unconscious hiring biases. DEI simply helps the overlooked get noticed.

I guess, to respond in context, we’d have to see if NASA said they were going to put people in these roles because of their skin color (or gender) rather than just merit. The airline pilot pushback, that I’ve heard, is because airlines announced that they wanted certain percentages of minorities in their training program (quotas). When a system highlights goals based on immutable characteristics instead of merit, many will logically then begin to question the merit qualifications of those with those specific immutable characteristics. I wish DEI—three distinct ideas—wasn’t used as a single idea as there are parts that are good and other parts that are toxic. EQUITY as a goal is toxic.

THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST QUOTES OF ALL-TIME BY #NFL LEGEND BILL BELICHICK: “You experience the Pain of Preparation or the Pain of Failure. It's pain either way. You have to decide if you want pain at the beginning or pain at the end.” 🐐🐐🐐

Most people couldn’t tell you where they are on the road without their phone. That’s a problem. Teaching these boys how to use mile markers so they’re never guessing. One day, their wife and kids could depend on it.
