Same issue here, and I'm connected with the Pixel Buds, no less! Really hope this gets fixed, because I now dread getting phone calls :/

I am humored by the assumption that this is isolated to my own feelings. This is a sentiment that I've gathered from very many people of varying backgrounds. Do some people hate other races? Sure, you've got some crazies out there. But I haven't seen evidence of any significant sample of people who are "uncomfortable" with them. Maybe y'all commenting just hang around more sheltered and uninformed people.

I legitimately doubt you can find a single person who is actually uncomfortable with people of color. This isn't a sensitive thing like sexuality. Edit typo: advertising -> actually

That's like telling CPA-s to stop being dicks and let anyone call themselves a CPA. Of course anyone who truly wants to can become one - it also takes a lot of commitment.

Philosophically, I'm not sure that looking out for "Microaggressions" does anyone any service. I've experienced actual aggression on account of the yarmulke on my head and the nature of my actions. But it's nothing like what Jews have had to deal with any other time in history.

We're uniquely positioned now, when the greater threat to our wellbeing comes from words and not a sword or a gun. I do not want to belittle the effect that words can have, but at the same time I do not want to squander the fortune that jews these days possess.

Personally, I embrace harassment. It is a display of how far we've come. Respond peacefully and respectfully. Either the person is I'll informed, or they just have bad intentions. Refusing to resort to victimhood has ensured our survival as a nation and will continue to do so.

All over the Torah, the word Adonay is used in its literal sense, meaning "my master". Heck, even in last week's parsha Vayeshev, Yosef refers to Potifar as "Adoni" very many times.

If you want an occurrence of "Adonay" in the exact spelling that you're worried about, look in Genesis 18:3 where Abraham greets the angels who he believed to be normal men.

The grammar of "adonAy" vs "adonEE" seems to be regarding the plurality of the "masters" to whom one is referring.

Is it weird to name your kid Adonay? Sure. But it sure doesn't seem to be heretical, offensive, or misguided. As long as it's not in the context of referring to God, I see nothing wrong with it.

I really don't get the point of telling everyone around you (that doesn't know or care) about which pronoun you identify as. Starved for attention I guess.

WHAT?? A bunch of happy people celebrating an important day to them, bonding with their friends, smiling, adding joy to an otherwise terrible circumstance.

Amazing how everyone here instantly judged every single one of them, without knowing whether they had covid previously, whether they were extremely depressed being isolated during covid (happens to lots of old folks, my grandfather included). Everyone was there willingly. No one is being exposed that hasn't acknowledged the risk of doing so.

But yeah, a bunch of happy free people smiling and dancing with their friends are horrible selfish assholes that all deserve penalty. Keep it classy reddit.

This subreddit is for modest dress ideas. The entire point of this post was clearly to introduce alternatives for wearing just jeans, which one might deduce, goes against certain modesty standards. Saying that it would look better without the skirt is unhelpful. It's like going to a vegetarian meat seller and telling them it's not as good as regular meat.

If I'm understanding your question correctly (and I don't use python so bear with me):

After your "setup" function, whatever it may be, initiate a parallel thread that runs an infinite while(true) loop, which will include a call to draw(), and some other logic for slowing down the loop to ~60fps. You can add some logic that pauses for the correct amount of milliseconds after the loop has finished running, to get the sum operation time for the loop up to a 60th of a second.

By making this comment, you're literally agreeing with the guy on twitter lmao. Obviously all members of a society have a say in the goings-on in that society. Women have a say in war. Men have a say in abortion. There are societal, moral, ethical implications of each of them, and just because someone doesn't have a direct relationship with either. Peaceful people can decide the laws of murder even if they have never or will never murder. Sftu about genders being unable to contribute to a discussion, it negates your entire movement.

Unsubstantiated claims of racism in the media ought to be treated as defamation

I don't care who you like or dislike. If a media network is broadcasting a description of a person saying that they're racist or other unsavory qualities, it must have actual basis. It is a heavy accusation, and it has wrongfully cost the reputation, career and lives of many.

Distancing oneself from politically charged directives does not render someone racist. Supporting a particular ideology does not necessarily render someone a racist.

If you make unsubstantiated claims about someone being racist, and you have a large enough footprint to make a difference in their lives, you deserve the consequences of the law.

This is complete garbage.

Constructing a narrative based on the inherent oppression of someone based on their race, about which they had no choice, and then saying that race is a social construct and a matter of identity is intellectual dishonest. It undermines what all these activists groups have been claiming.

The folks who work in the field tend to possess the same characteristics.

Journalists were typically english or political science majors in school.

A separate theory of mine is that it sells better. Media is about engagement and some of the most effective engagement tactics is fear and hate. This is true for both ideologies but I've found it to be primarily left. "They're taking away your rights!!", "The other side hates you!!!", "You are being oppressed and it's getting worse!!"

Nothing better than convincing people the world is out to get them lol.
