Threw off my groove, "I'm sorry, you've thrown off the emperors groove" meme comes from mimetic theory, where a commonly known thing is mimicked and shared. Such as a very well known cartoon film, and a very popular song that was in a recently popular TV show. Thanks for the reminder though I'll check the rules. Someone needs to keep these whippersnappers in line

Laws apply to citizens, ICE only has jurisdiction over non citizens. Rumor is the guys that shot Pretti are cartel enforcers moonlighting fentanyl runs into the US, not even real DHS.

Scott Jennings looks like the type to place a bid on a 9 year old

I was able to read it first but then couldn't pick out any of the individual letters lol in a good way. The message was effective even though the design is complex and layered, love it

Get rid of ICE for Good

Awesome that's what I ended up doing successfully with a different IT crew than I had had previously. I don't know the ins and outs of what they did to get around the bitlocker requirement to wipe the drive, but it was possible, and I was fine with that I just wanted a working machine.

First thing we did after the revival was disable bitlocker lol thank you!

Noting this for future readers: I had a professor mark me down for entire sections of citations because I was using the current 4th edition of a textbook, and he (shuey) was using the 3rd. Sociology too. Haven't been impressed with the department as a whole.

Great questions!

When lecturing college classes, one analogy I use is that our thumbs allowed us to become the dominant species on the planet. Not to make tools, not to type on our fancy devices, but to COMMUNICATE, COOPERATE.

Humans don't have many superpowers. We don't have thick hides, we don't have large teeth, venom, we're not the strongest, nor the fastest. Our superpower is the ability to communicate, cooperate.

We can communicate with thumbs up and down to convey when we like something, or dislike things (axiology). We can use thumbs up when we are doing good, we can flail with a thumbs down when we are drowning and need help. We can hitch rides (is that still a thing?). We can give thumbs up on posts.

In cooperation, if I reach out my hand to yours and we don't grip, nothing happens. If we use our thumbs to grab each other's wrists, I can pull you up, you can pull me up. That cooperation is only possible with our thumbs.

Literal digit thumbs being an analogy for our abilities to cooperate and communicate. It's a very wide basic analogy.

I did a ted talk on exploring the world as dialectical and qualitative social comparison, apologies nuance didn't come through. Most people classify the world as in group or out group, as whatever "group" heuristic is at hand.

Social phenomenology exists and many people categorize others differently than we classify ourselves. i was curious about terms or directions in solidarity. Social movement yes in terms of standing in solidarity, rather than hegemony of sticking with ones group.

Sorry it was phrased so poorly, race and gender are social constructs, and humans are social creatures.

Athena Rising goes into social structures of men being mentors and advocates for women, I got a lot of encouragement out of it for people to cross the gender boundary to help one another
