@BartDePalma @clashreport I don’t know where to begin in calling out the idiocy of your comment. Neither he nor his point is what you think they are.

@clashreport I haven’t seen this level of Democrat loathing for the US and cheerleading for its enemies since after Vietnam. Trump certainly does out them.

Prof. John Mearsheimer: If I was the national security adviser to Xi Jinping… I should tell Xi Jinping that he should try to be a regional hegemon. China should try to push the United States out beyond the first island chain and then out beyond the second island chain. If we have a Monroe doctrine, they should have a Monroe doctrine. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

@GraduatedBen @kerpen The Federation knows Bass has a better chance against Pratt than against Raman. This is absolutely boosting Spencer as the preferred opponent. Will it backfire? Maybe.

@Launchpadteam1 @bumbadum14 Same move you defended with Johnson’s colleagues. Stereotype applied to specific circumstances. You’re doing it live & still won’t explicitly state your major premise, let alone defend it (Jim Crow means we can make up whatever we want to paint whites as racist). Bitchass move

@Tummler68 @bumbadum14 Well he got a C from the person who actually knows US history - so that says more than your little fantasy grader game

When I took APUSH in high school we spent 1/2 a week watching this move in class. The accompanied assignment was a 2 page hand written paper on the negative effects of racism and segregation in 1960s America. Out of curiosity, I did my own reserach into Katherine Johnson (MC of the movie) and found interviews where she described her experience. When asked if she felt segregation at NASA she said she didn't and that everyone was so mission oriented that nobody really cared about race at all. The "white only" restrooms at NASA actually weren't marked at all and she was using those bathrooms for her entire tenure there. The iconic scene of her throwing a temper tantrum about walking for an hour to use the "colored's room" was entirely fake, the rant about using a coffee pot that none of the Whites would touch was entirely fake. Jim Parson's character, the racist/sexist antagonist was entirely fake. Kevin Costner's classic progressive, anti-racist, meritocratic boomer character was also fake. After learning all this, I wrote a paper how the movie portrayed NASA as a deeply racist and destructive place, saved by an uppity black woman screaming and crying about racism. That this portrayl was actually significantly more racist than the reality which was NASA being incredibly professional, where racism was an after thought, and the Black woman actually usurped all racist stereotypes and was renown for her calm professionalism and exceptional work. I was given a C and was given a 1-on-1 scolding in office hours after class.

Peak Obama era slop. A nightmarish glimpse into the world that awaited us until Trump stepped off the golden escalator to save America. It’s such a narcissistic and sinister idea - “every one of your cultural accomplishments was actually done by fa sassy black women”

@Launchpadteam1 @bumbadum14 This is why OP gets a B+ from me, higher if he develops his premises competently. If your conclusion and his were swapped, I’d grade by the same rubric. Your whole argument is an enthymeme, leaving out the premise that would actually require defending. C for you.

@Launchpadteam1 @bumbadum14 OP showed his work. Observation, premises, limiting principle, conclusion. You keep gesturing at context & refusing to state your rule. What’s your principle for the relationship between historical fact & narrative? Say it out loud. Otherwise this isn’t an argument, it’s evasion.

@Launchpadteam1 @bumbadum14 OP proposes a clear limiting principle: narrative should reflect facts. Yours is apparently whatever serves your preferred ends, but who knows because you haven’t said it. Have the spine to state your rule explicitly instead of hiding behind contextual gestures.

@Launchpadteam1 @bumbadum14 Which is exactly what OP was complaining about: the stereotyping of Johnson’s white colleagues. The film retrofitted specific people into the generic Southern racist stereotype because Johnson’s actual coworkers wouldn’t play the role.

@Launchpadteam1 @bumbadum14 You are defending the very practice the student correctly called out. This is not historical analysis. It is narrative enforcement.

@Launchpadteam1 @bumbadum14 You claim the analysis must be rooted in the real Jim Crow history of the time. That is the problem. For decades a million little social justice functionaries have done exactly what the movie did. They invent and exaggerate racial slights to fit the narrative they want.

@FreeNortherner its not even hard.. its showing the 8, and the 9 gets split into 2 and 7. this is a very simple foundational approach to getting kids flexy with breaking apart numbers... you should know that 9 can be 8+1, 7+2, 6+3, 5+4, and on.. its not hard. The parent is too old to remember.

@thenovanglus @EVplusBRO @questionableway A good Christian would work tirelessly to ensure every single person voted red to avoid the possibility of people intentional or unintentionally committing suicide.

@montesquieu_cl @TheMightyHams @CiceroInExilium @peterrhague It’s pretty fucking crazy man. In the first hour after this game is announced, many governments will be concerned about educating their population to press red to preserve their societies. In the second hour, they will start to view the blue button as a weapon. Scary shit.

Amazing how lots of self appointed game theory experts confidently asserting that blue is the stupid choice. But every time this poll is run blue wins. Not only is the “game theory” answer predicting the wrong outcome, its explanatory power is based on it being able to predict the right answer. So it’s doubly wrong.
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
