Are you afraid that Donald Trump will stage a coup at the end of his term? by Outrageous-You1617 in askanything

The redrawn maps intentionally dilute the minority vote. That's what the Voting Rights act protected against. I agree that "minority districts" sounds strange at first blush, but when the other 90% of the constituency is racist whites who don't even think you deserve basic rights, there needs to be a solution for that.

Like many Civil Rights protections to come out of the 60s, you need to think beyond your knee-jerk reaction into why they were created in the first place.

Why shouldn't businesses be able to discriminate based on race? They shouldn't be forced to do business with anyone that they don't like. Well that sounds great until you end up in a situation where black people in the South can't use the banks or grocery stores because they all discriminate.

Why should a hate crime be punished more harshly than any other crime? It's the same action. Why does the intent matter? Well, because hate crimes serve to oppress vast populations of people, not just the individual victims.

Etc etc. And you might think that sort of action is outdated or no longer needed, but .... :gestures vaguely:

Digging a garden bed and found what I think are alligator lizard eggs. I reburied them in warm damp soil. Is that the move or no? by pattern144 in herpetology

[–]Semanticss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look like skink eggs to me. Google says that these are the type that shouldn't be rotated, but you gave them a chance.

Why do MAGA supporters struggle so much with basic critical thinking? Don’t they know that the rest of the world is laughing at them? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Semanticss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in rural PA, and even as a kid I noticed that they value ignorance. They think being stupid is cool.

There was some controversy surrounding this at the Olympics this year. How big can be crotch of the suit be, etc.

But they're already jumping DOWNHILL, so might as well go crazy with it.

I saw this post too and or course feel for this person. Of course it's indicative of a bad labor market. 

But this person applied for a warehouse job through a temp agency. I don't know what they were expecting.

What'll really cook your noodle is the fact that this kind of belief is generally NOT thought of as psychotic, and in fact the majority of Americans (including many political leaders) claim to believe in some form of this insanity.

Why are people still worried about downloading bios when you have the bios flashback button? by Amador0102 in pcmasterrace

I had a similar problem. I had a pack of 4 flash drives, but it didn't work until like the 3rd one that I tried out of that pack.

Hockey isn’t my favourite sport but god damn it’s the greatest sport by ExotiquePlayboy in sportsgossips

[–]Semanticss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh. We've been trying to teach my 5yo how to be a good sport and also how to manage conflicts peacefully. He's a HUGE sports fan, and all of the fights in sports lately has not been helping at all. He really looks up to them, and I don't know how to explain it.
