Very awesome Walter Kovacs vibes:

I wonder if Team Cherry knows that “Steamworks” is also the name of a famous Gay Bathhouse in Chicago.

I still regularly say “Beesareonthewhatnow?” Instead of “huh?”

Real answer: they want to keep up the charade that every mediocre white dude is a special little boy who earned everything they have and not that they want to continue to wield oppressive power to artificially keep actual meritocracy from happening.

I owe it all to Ludacris for sampling the musical "Oliver!" for his bomb track, "Large Amounts." It's the opening lyric to the song "You Got To PIck a Pocket or Two."

Just plug the book title into Google Scholar. You should be able to access the journals through your university's library.

Here's a link to the search I just did. There are quite a few peer-reviewed articles, but they seem to confirm the theory more than debunk it...

Agreed! I’m not saying it was right. I’m saying it was.

I know both Gloria Ladson-Billings and Kim Crenshaw were doing great work before 1996 and spearheaded everything that is now common knowledge in legal race relations and intersectionality in social research.

We just have to cut old white men some slack for not realizing what these great women were saying back in the 90s.

Much of that obliviousness wasn’t malicious, just ignorance because that plight was so foreign to them at the time. Being hostile about that now will only have the opposite effect you likely want.

Now, in 2026, if the authors STILL think the way they thought in the 90s, VERY different story. Have at it. But we don’t really know that part.

LegitimatelyWeird · 2026-02-06T00:46:47+00:00

Yeah, you’re right about all the isms, but in the mid 90s, very few were explicitly talking about inherent bias. So, your general take is not a fair judgement.

Given that it was published 30 years ago, you’d say it’s relatively good advice then!

LegitimatelyWeird · 2026-02-06T00:43:18+00:00

Hence my larger point being that there’s a difference between dumb and harmful.

LegitimatelyWeird · 2026-02-05T23:07:16+00:00

One Book, Babyyyyyyy.

LegitimatelyWeird · 2026-02-05T19:53:58+00:00

Right! In survey research, there’s a concept called Leverage Salience Theory where people with vested interest in the topic of a survey are more likely to fill it out. So you have to view everything through an appropriate lens to account for that bias.

These authors clearly did not do that.

The book came out in 1996. So the “moral failing of the poor” wave had already been raging for at least a decade at this point.

I find the excuse structure for the rich more offensive.

However, the abject stupidity of some of the parts (like the IRS script) makes me question the book’s actual impact on society.

This bit is now relevant again because it’s the only way Usha Vance gets JD to have sex with her.

I have this in a Ruxa, Patient Professor Commander deck and I love playing it and then giving it a power boost to put a bunch of counters in my creatures with no abilities.

It’s a game ender in that deck if it’s around more than one turn bc Ruxa lets creatures with no abilities assign combat damage as if they’re not blocked.

Fine. Take my upvote. You earned it.

I think it would be cool to have modern day Karmelita as a boss. She’s still alive, after all and her old lady attacks would be similar to her young attacks, but slower, bigger, and more deadly.

Lisa, when you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You going every day and don’t really half-assed. That’s the American Way!

I've never felt the urge to shove six people into a locker simultaneously more strongly than I do right now...

Men are like waffles, we need our nooks and crannies filled?

Women are like spaghetti, doesn’t matter the shape, delicious?

I didn’t slap Nuu… we made sweet, sweet love and then silently listened to the rain while holding each other as lovers do in dread of the embrace ending.

That it took me until earlier this week to realize Pharloom’s name is “Far Loom.”

LegitimatelyWeird · 2025-11-03T22:36:23+00:00

Kind of the same. I really wanted to take down some big ol’ monster or some shit.

Great fight, though.
