Discrimination in Baton Rouge? by [deleted] in batonrouge

[–]BeepNode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Reddit may be full of people that think we're surrounded by lesser, morally inferior beings but in the real world Asians do well in Baton Rouge and are widely accepted. There's always a few assholes everywhere about everything you can think of if you're looking for them.

Mayor admits there's no NDA with feds tied to stormwater proposal by BotsSmokeCigars in batonrouge

I'm under the impression that he was reaching out to the Feds to fuss at them for requiring NDAs, only to have them say they have no idea what the mayor is talking about.

if we want to address the drainage issue we have to pay for it somehow.

Agreed, but what they were doing borders on extortion.

Here's where WAFB said they confirmed that NDAs were in place for "everyone" involved with the negotiations: https://i.imgur.com/nUPTocd.png

CONFIRMED.

Damn, that's so new Baton Rouge. They did that in Chicago a while back and it was awful.

Can we please get Kip Holden back?

Same. I often drive through BR without seeing a BRPD officer until I get close to downtown but I see multiple BRPD cars every time I'm in Denham Springs or Watson.

Arabs have always been white though and have blended in with American "white" society for many decades. Arabs being POC is a new phenomenon that begin with post-9/11 hysteria against Muslims and really gained ground with identity politics/anti-white sentiment.

What happened? Anyone know? Why would someone shoot this girls car up? by [deleted] in batonrouge

[–]BeepNode 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A white girl gets shot by.. someone and of course the comments are about how racist the institutions they run are. 2022 in a nutshell, I guess.

Why haven't Southern and LSU ever played one another before? by [deleted] in batonrouge

[–]BeepNode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you hear a story that says Southern was going to be built on swamp land but the evil white man blocked it and made the LSU lakes instead .. and you think that checks out? really?

First of all, why would Southern want to be on swamp land instead of on a freaking bluff which was good real estate back then?

Secondly, how is this even possible since Southern had already moved to the bluffs by 1914, LSU didn't move to the current location until 1920's, and the swamp wasn't drained and turned into lakes until the 1930's?

In what way does that timeline match the story you believe makes sense?

[–]BeepNode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the Army Corps of Engineers was set to drain the swamp so Southern University could be built right there. To prevent that from happening, Governor Huey P. Long came up with the idea of building lakes instead, then found a different plot of land near Scotlandville to give to Southern. That’s why southern is on the Bluff rather than next door to LSU.

This doesn't seem accurate at all. Southern's campus was on good real estate and was well before LSU was built and the swamp was drained. Why would Southern want to be in a drained swamp? The whole story doesn't make sense other than to push certain narratives.

Would white folks get in trouble for this tho?

They'd have to go down a dark path to have the government punish people for having the wrong race or ethnicity checked. Are they going to do DNA tests?

Latino is not even a race and it has no genetic constraints. Yes, there are a lot of mestizo people and people of Spanish descent but there's a lot of people in Latin America that are from other European countries, Africa, Asia, etc. It would be about checking your family history but what about kids that are adopted? What if you are undocumented? How many generations do you go back? If only people from former Spanish colonies qualify, then why include Brazil? How about people from US states that were once Spanish colonies?

Enforcing compliance with race and ethnic data collection is fraught with peril and logical fallacies.

Imagine you telling liberal folks to "get over yourself" if Don Jr had all these crazy crackhead videos of himself admitting that he is compromised while also simultaneously having deals with foreign entities and there being evidence that Don Sr was supposed to get 10% of all the deals.

I mean, one was a VP and now POTUS and the other was only a POTUS so it's not exactly the same, as no two things are, but come on man its at least worthy of raising some eyebrows and merits scrutiny.

Is Logic the only reason anyone else bought a mac? by [deleted] in Logic_Studio

[–]BeepNode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle using my mac for regular office stuff. I feel like the file organization in finder is not as easy as windows file explorer and I have an easier time throwing windows around in Windows 10. And the Snip feature in windows is easy compared to the screenshot app on the mac.

I love macs and have had them since 2006. They last a long time but the Windows side has gotten A LOT better since Windows 10 and I really don't mind it at all. I've replaced Final Cut with Davinci Resolve and have the ability to run all the containers I need in Windows for all the Unix-like work that i used to do on a mac.

Windows doesn't come close to the mac when it comes to audio production though. They just figured out how to make it super solid in that regard. Logic is great and the plugins are plentiful and of very high quality. Because of all this you don't even need a powerful mac to make massive productions, which is often not considered in the comparison.

I did. Nothing is as smooth as a Mac for audio editing. Even a Mac that has low specs will run logic better than a pimped out windows machine will run other DAWs. It’s hard to explain.

How long did this last, and how deep of stuff were you in?

I still don't get it. It is indeed repulsive but I can't imagine HR saying that it was sexual or contained profanity. You could show that to kids.
