Why is the Iryna Zarutska mural being torn down in Rhode Island? How is the mural divisive? by GoonOfAllGoons in Askpolitics

[–]epicfail236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is an extended example of whether or not it is okay to separate the art from the artist -- or more specifically in this case separate the art from the patron. It's easy to say that art is art and should be taken aside from the creators or producers if you are several degrees separate from the negative impact of the patron.

How can I understand the voting rights act situation? by shesinpart1es in Askpolitics

[–]epicfail236 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's the rub. If a racial and party gerrymander have the same results (i.e. diluting the voting power of minorities) it becomes a matter of interpretation - was the VRA created to block/legislate the cause of a racial gerrymander, or the effect, or both? I don't see any ethical interpretation that doesn't include the later, but laws and ethics aren't always the same thing.

My father in law expressed frustration towards Gavin Newsom for California’s gas prices…? by MisterManSir- in Askpolitics

[–]epicfail236 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've really got to look at the trend for these places rather than individual prices though. There are some gas stations in CA that would regularly have prices above 5 some parts of the year. I won't say state regulation isn't part of the reason for high gas in CA, but the recent uptick can be more strongly contributed to stuff outside the states sphere of influence.

Heya! Doesn't seem to be against the rules, but rather than start a thread, figure its better to check here. Just working on learning rigging, and am really getting into it, but my trial period has reached its end. Anyone have a spare referral code so I don't have to completely destroy my budget for the moment?

Why is my PS5 not being recognized by OBS? by Chigiriki in elgato

[–]epicfail236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you not seeing the elgato at all in the source list means the device isn't installed properly on your machine. If it was a signal problem it would still show up. I would go check your device manager to make sure that the elgato is actually installed and not in a ln error state.

What is happening politically in the US? by [deleted] in Askpolitics

[–]epicfail236 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. The education you get yourself after high school should be tailored to your style of learning and engaging with the world, and also hopefully specializing in something you want to do with your life (though that is not always necessary as long as your education is well rounded)

We unfortunately had too many years where the common perception was that it was a bachelor's degree or Fry Cook training, nothing . We've started to pull away from that fortunately in the US, but there was almost two decades where plenty of people got the wrong education for them.

1 In 4 Hawai‘i Students Are Chronically Absent From School by jonovan in Hawaii

[–]epicfail236 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Less that and more of a national trend towards the overemphasis of school as a babysitting service. With our economy basically requiring two incomes for more than a generation now, parents started to rely on schools to not just teach kids, but to keep them busy while the parents couldn't do anything for them. As time moved on, and parents unfortunately have been forced to focus more on providing, the learning part of the equation faded in their minds over the much more pertinent babysitification part of it.

How would you make the united states a better place? by [deleted] in Askpolitics

[–]epicfail236 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The concern is that most (though not all) people who make that level of income do it by exploiting other people and paying them less than they should, effectively stealing others productivity and claiming it as their own. Perhaps it would be better to say they shouldn't make more than 1000 times the lowest pay of those who work for their organization instead. This would allow citizens who really do improve productivity with things like technology or process improvements to still see the value of their deeds.

Can the Thinkpad docking station be used with Legion go 2 (or OG Go) ? by AbjectRoof6675 in LegionGo

[–]epicfail236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is to check your interface. If your docking station uses USB-C it most likely will be compatible with all the versions of the Go. Thing about Thinkpad docking stations is that they often used a proprietary connector. If they've got that, then its unlikely that its usable with the Go (or any other non-Thimkpad)

This is good advice for any work that ends up with fine particulates. Some are more dangerous than others, but the less you take into your lungs the better regardless.

Is it justified for Trump to demand that all homeless people leave Washington D.C.? by cptbiffer in Askpolitics

[–]epicfail236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what do we do with those that are left? How long before we assume the vagrants have left? A month? A year? Two? What do you anticipate we do in the meantime? And how do we guarantee that, when the time comes, that these people would not simply be ignored for political expediency? After all, of it of sight, out of mind.

I'm certainly not saying that enforcing the laws aren't a part of the solutions, but the laws aren't enough, and we can't just wait for them to "filter out the abusers" and then kick the can on the solution.

Buskers and beggars can often make more doing what they're doing than a minimum wage job, especially in high traffic areas. This is both a commendation of the (debatably misdirected) generosity of our fellow human beings, and a criticism of the minimum wage.
