@StrongandF82461 @TempeTeaParty @CBHeresy The problem is it only goes one way, not to mention the scope of "culture" is undefinable. If a person of a certain demographic invents or uses something in some way, that means no one else of a different demographic may use it??? Makes zero sense...

@TempeTeaParty @CBHeresy It’s actually about using another persons culture inappropriately. It’s fine to ask. Many things would be acceptable if treated with respect. Like wearing henna.

@pecintankri12 @MyLordBebo @minersbayguy @Keir_Starmer It’s a shame. I am not British but as a Canadian, there is a certain kinship with the Brits. It’s a shame to see what’s happened in the UK, and it sure seems like the politics there is more or less, hey let’s have more of this shitshow, instead of fixing the issue.

🇬🇧 ENRAGING - BRIT STABBED BY THE SIKH COURT VIDEO BITS: Mr Nowak can be heard saying “can’t breathe.” Police put handcuffs on Mr Nowak, who was lying on his side, telling officers he had been stabbed and that he could not breathe. The officer told Mr Nowak that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault. Mr Nowak repeated that he had been stabbed. A male voice said: “I don’t think you have, mate.” -> He drowned in own blood, as his lungs filled with blood … and died while the cops handcuffed him for racism.

Georgia is basically turning into one large data center Get ready for this, there is no legal obligation for data centers to disclose how much water they will be using - Georgia currently has about 162 data centers already - They have an additional 141 new data centers planned - Combined these data centers will use 12+ GW or more of power, this is equivalent to the usage of 10 MILLION homes - Combined water usage estimate of 35+ billion gallons per year or higher Absolutely insane There is no comprehensive federal requirement for data centers to publicly report detailed water usage. A bill was introduced called “the Data Center Water and Energy Transparency Act” to mandate reporting of energy and water consumption to states and the EPA This is an issue, here’s one example The Quality Technology Services data center in Fayette County used 29–30 million gallons of water went unmetered and unbilled for months without initial detection. Residents complained about low pressure during drought conditions. The company later paid retroactively $150,000 but faced no fines

🚨 JUST IN: Ugandan Mayor Zohran Mamdani is now ON HIS KNEES, privately meeting and BEGGING rich business owners to stay in New York City The 3rd world scammer is flailing! He met with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon as the company signaled a shift to RED TEXAS as socialist tax policies take hold in NY Mamdani also met with Goldman Sachs, and reached out to Ken Griffin of Citadel! I guess you can't just INFINITELY tax the rich, because the rich will just leave. NYC is freaking cooked.

@HeraclesWife @PollTracker2024 Those are false flag plant callers and (probably paid) actors. This is structural and deliberate, easy to fool the candidate, because the actual person won't be verified. No (R) would honestly do that. At worst they would register (I).

@TheJoeySwoll The spotter is always responsible for the lifter's safety. If you can't see that then you shouldn't go to the gym. Not being able to pick up the weights has nothing to do with what's going on here

@GabbyGabby222 @teachthemx3 It doesn't. It also doesn't benefit a 19 year old kid to come back and take high school classes. Not that you're actually interested in what benefits the student.

When you hear, “99.9% of our students graduate,” this is what it often means: Schools put students on credit recovery courses, usually in Edgenuity. The program is multiple choice with unlimited attempts. And if the student can’t read, no worries, it reads the questions to them. So they guess their way through it? Not always. Sometimes they pay their friends to do it for them. Students can get through 26 courses in a week. At this point, the bar isn’t on the floor. It’s in the grave, and we have to dig it back up.

Who will buy it knowing that Georgia Power is taking it?!? 🙄 You have to disclose the fact that there’s an eminent domain action pending. This is particularly bad for her because they are only taking her backyard and pool. Because Georgia Power wants to put in huge, cancer-causing power lines, they have decimated her equity. I have a lot of sympathy for that. You are victim blaming and you don’t even know what you’re talking about!!!

@Brainsurfing22 @Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes It's crazy that towns are literally tearing down housing because of the vacancies. Yes I blame individuals for whining about the choices they made (including who they voted for). The politician woos you with a short term gain that foundationally cuts our longer term standards.

This American works full time in the operating room at a hospital and just got off a 12 hour shift It’s after midnight and she must now go drive DoorDash after being on her feet for 12 hours because the cost of living is so high in America “I work in the operating room and I just worked a 12-hour shift in the operating room and I cannot afford my rent. I can't afford my rent. I can't afford gas. I can't afford groceries. I can't afford any of my endless other bills that I am responsible for because I am an adult. After working a 12-hour shift in the operating room. So you know what I have to do? I have to DoorDash, and it's 12: 30 at night after I've been on my feet in the operating room for 12 hours all f*cking day. I'm now out DoorDash driving” I’ll never shop sharing these stories because we must ALL advocate for a drastically lower cost of living We cannot accept this is the way things are. We cannot accept this is the direction we’re going and things will just keep getting more expensive

@TheRabbitHole @elonmusk Luigi is not a leftist, just a disillusioned person denied health care. He was captured, will be tried, and punished accordingly. Donald Trump has killed thousands, some of them children, without a declaration of war from Congress. He is free and will not be held accountable.

@jslimsmith @Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes In Florida my HOA, taxes and insurance alone would now be close to $2000 a month if I owned. I am hanging on and went back to school to double my income but now that wage will just be borderline poverty. I don't care. Humans are done, but it is interesting watching the collapse.

@Brainsurfing22 @Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes The apartment you live in, the cars you drive, the benefits you have are greatly improved since your college days. I'm not sure about your life story but there must have been some choices made in there somewhere to result in your "nosediving" standard of living...

@jslimsmith @Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes No, it hasn't. I'm a single mom of 2 who had to sell my home to get by a few more years and am living in one of the cheapest apartments in my community and paying $3000 a month for this. I drive a 10-year-old vehicle (my second care since 2001). Standard of living is nosediving.

@Brainsurfing22 @Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes Yes, healthcare costs for benefits have skyrocketed well past inflation. Point is, thanks to extreme benefit inflation, your (collective) standard of living has increased well beyond what your (individual) paycheck states.

@jslimsmith @Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes Huh? Healthcare costs are outrageous and corporations buy up all the healthcare systems. They then provide both the medical care and the insurance for their employees. If you are lucky enough to get a yearly raise then they raise your health insurance premiums and take it back.

@Brainsurfing22 @Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes Surely your living standards are higher than college, too, and your benefits are likely more than 10x what they were in college. Things like health insurance and maternity leave, especially in female-dominated professions, are very taxing and result in depressed wages...

@Billyshears9 @WallStreetApes I’m a nurse in my 50s. I make 10x what I made as a poor college student in the 90s and now pay 15x what I paid for rent in college. I am essentially making less than the minimum wage I made in college.

@SlipDixon_ @GordonPurch @JebraFaushay Sorry, even legends don't rise about putting on a quality performance. The best & smart ones retire when they're at the top of their game. They're tarnishing their status with performances like this- you don't want ppl experiencing & recalling this as their latest recollection!

Here’s a Golden Girl warbling out a classic Paul McCartney tune on last night’s Saturday Night Live. I’ve noticed that many older male singers look like stereotypical, Subaru driving lesbians who dabble in softball and activism.

Yale School of Medicine Has a total of 553 students across All four classes. Total Black students: 44. That’s ~10 per class. Total Asian students: 157. That’s ~40 per class. There are nearly as many Asian students PER CLASS as there are Black students in the entire school. Black: 14% of America. Only 7% of Yale Med Asian: 7% of America. 28% of Yale Med. Who exactly is getting discriminated against here ? aamc.org/media/6131/dow…
AAGHarmeetDhillon@AAGDhillon

At Yale Medical School, a black applicant is 29 times more likely to be invited to interview than an Asian with equally strong academics.   Today, @CivilRights told Yale that its use of race in admissions is ILLEGAL—and that @TheJusticeDept will step in to enforce Title VI. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
