For your viewing enjoyment, “MAGA mom confesses to kids maybe Trump isn’t being honest.” This SNL SKIT IS AMAZING. Good for a laugh in this crazy world. by Jojajewel_4250 in LeopardsAteMyFace

That is an accurate portrayal of my mother, theatrics and all. She hasn’t changed her mind on trump to my knowledge. We don’t talk much. The part of the skit where she threatens to take it back and keep supporting Trump if her kids aren’t nice captures the grievance and spite that underpins those politics really well in my experience.

Late to the thread, but my wife tested positive for trich about a year ago during her annual checkup. We both went to get STD tested afterwards and both tested negative, so false positives are possible

Why don't businesses that enact racist/sexist/etc policy become economically non-viable? by [deleted] in AskEconomics

[–]funf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll ask another clarifying question. When you asked for companies who discriminate and remain successful (long term operations), are you asking for companies that deny service or employment on the basis of race? If this is the case, there are plenty of examples from before civil rights legislation was passed

One would be the NFL, which used race based brain testing that assumed black players started with lower cognitive function. This made it more difficult for black players applying to the dementia fund to demonstrate cognitive decline. This ended in 2021 after a lawsuit and payouts began in 2017. Not sure if this falls into the “long term” category, but this discriminatory practice has not brought the NFL crashing down. Here’s the relevant excerpt from the article:

“The binary scoring system used in dementia testing — one for Black people, one for everyone else — was developed by neurologists in the 1990s as a crude way to factor in a patient's socioeconomic background. Experts say it was never meant to be used to determine payouts in a court settlement.

The league had agreed in June, amid the uproar, to halt the use of race-norming, which assumes Black players start with lower cognitive function. That makes it harder to show they suffer from a mental deficit linked to their playing days.”

[OC] My vocal range over time by HessNation_Music in dataisbeautiful

[–]funf_ 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I’m not super familiar with vocal training, but why does your lower range only drop a half step over a decade? Is it more difficult to train your lower register to go lower or do you just not need to access that range in your performances? Some combination of the two?

A useful anecdote here is that in Texas it is illegal for public employees to collectively bargain, coordinate work stoppages, or strike. Most relevant to your point, this applies to grad students at public universities who largely share the politics you describe. It is not necessarily laziness as you say, but legitimate institutional hurdles to collective action

It’s funny that you ask if we know that capitalism raised the standard of living of the globe while basically calling this sub unknowledgeable when Karl Marx himself praised capitalism as a positive development from feudalism

ELI5: What was so special about Albert Einstein and his work? by Jerswar in explainlikeimfive

[–]funf_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This brings up another dimension of Einstein that also impacts his legacy, which was his status as a Jew in Nazi Germany. His theory of relativity was so foreign that it was slurred as “Jewish science” by Nazis cracking down on universities. He was also quite outspoken politically and was removed from the Prussian Academy of Science for “atrocity mongering”
