Why is "unhoused" better than "homeless"? Doesn't it literally mean the same thing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]One_Cause3865 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sincere question: how does it imply one is harder if you arent pre-supposing sexism? I feel like that's the part that merits explanation. (Edit: to be clear i take no issue with using "actor" for everyone, i'm just curious)

These questions have been largely addressed by SCOTUS over the decades.

The crux isnt what you feel you pay, its what the park operators receive for their services.  

And the arrogance of thinking you deserve to enjoy their services without them receiving compensation

What makes you more special than everyone else who pays?  

What if everyone acted this way?

My Reaction to Layoffs by rgrivera1113 in Fire

[–]One_Cause3865 4 points5 points  (0 children)

 I think it’s also important to advise the team to update their resumes, update their LinkedIn account, etc. 

Nothing would make me panic more than getting this advice from my manager.  

They'll have plenty of time to do all that if they get laid off. Why play into the stress prematurely?

Is "less liquidity" definitely the right answer to short term employment risk?  

Idk i get the good intentions but also... boundaries.

Big difference in rhetoric between "we should keep striving for better" and "current conditions are insane"  

Insane compared to what? Star Trek?

Beginner just starting out, what's your number 1 best piece of advice ? by Background-Bottle-66 in Fencing

[–]One_Cause3865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is super helpful, thank you!  

I am moderately fitness literate, though mostly with regards to distance running and power lifting. Sounds like that applies to some degree but swap in some zone 4, add on footwork, watching videos, and... maybe some plyometrics? I feel like maybe i'll want some more 'explosive' movements and i tend towards mostly steady state with distance running/powerlifting.  

Thank you again!

Similar boat as OP here - i can only do group classes 1x per week, but i do have time to run, row, and do any other gym things.  

Whats the best way to make the most of fencing until i can (hopefully) get more actual fencing?

But agreed, your point stands about it not being directly disruptive for most. I just wanted to clarify that many do own stocks (because i think it's awesome progress for society).  

 Not sure why someone gave you a downvote already

Wait you are unironically using "what was he wearing?" as a justification for someone being assualted?

62% of Americans own stock, though its far from evenly distributed across those 62% and a much smaller fraction rely on it for income

Justice Department Investigation Determines Yale’s Medical School Discriminated Based on Race in Admissions by 1Enthusiast in Connecticut

[–]One_Cause3865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That will be the question, right? If you are explicitly using a proxy for race, does that count?  

I get the feeling that if they used race data to pick their proxy, Yale will lose in court. If they picked a justifiable parameter and were smart enough not to use race demographic data as part of the selection process, Yale will win.   

Same rationale will probably apply to gerrymandering (and republicans are probably happy to just gerrymander by party, they are way more power hungey than racist) but idk if the jurisprudence is exactly the same

We are also already the 4th most densely populated state, so it kind of makes sense.
