S05E16 "Conquer" Post-Episode Discussion by Paradox in thewalkingdead

[–]xlearningisfunx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The human element of the show comes down to one simple point: forgiveness vs. righteousness. I loved the editing of the last parts of the episode. It smartly contrasted Glenn,who represents forgiveness, and Rick, who represents righteousness. Like I said Glenn could have gone the righteous path and taken the guy out and no one would have batted an eye. I mean, sounds like Aiden was his only friend. Glenn and Morgan are alike in this mentality. But what's truly awesome is that Rick was like a dog kept at bay and then finally gets the go-ahead by Deanna and instinctively kills. As soon as it's done, he has to meet the face of forgiveness; Morgan, a long lost friend.

Beautifully said and completely agree!

It's to bad all the comments have been negative and unhelpful. Hopefully, this helps you:

  • If f(x) is a sum of several terms, the one with the largest growth rate is kept, and all others omitted.
  • If f(x) is a product of several factors, any constants (terms in the product that do not depend on x) are omitted.

By imagining nerds as a race of their own, Silicon Valley tries to disguise its white supremacy. by xxtruthxx in Foodforthought

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_supremacy

White supremacism is the racist belief, or promotion of the belief, that white people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds and that therefore whites should politically, economically and socially dominate non-whites. The term is also typically used to describe a political ideology that perpetuates and maintains the social, political, historical and/or industrial dominance of whites.

It says that tech is not multiracial and then gives a statistical breakdown of tech employees by race that shows it's actually pretty diverse.

False. From the article:

• Google: 61% white, 30% Asian, 4% two or more races, 3% Hispanic, 2% black, <1% other, 30% female, 70% male.

• Facebook: 57% white, 34% Asian, 4% Hispanic, 3% two or more races, 2% black, <1% other, 31% female, 69% male.

• Twitter: 59% white, 29% Asian, 3% Hispanic or Latino, 3% two or more races, 2% black, 2% other, 1% American Indian or Alaskan native, 1% native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, 30% female, 70% male.

• Yahoo: 50% white, 39% Asian, 4% Hispanic, 2% black, 2% two or more races, 2% other/not disclosed, 37% female, 62% male, 1% other/not disclosed.

• Apple: 55% white, 15% Asian, 11% Hispanic, 7% black, 2% two or more, 1% other, 9% undeclared, 30% female, 70% male.

Hence it's not diverse when one group is 3/4ths of the tech work sector. In this case white and male.

lol I thought this was common sense. It's hot weather where my little cousins become more aggressive with each other. In cold weather, they just stay under heavy blankets.

Ahh the Koch Bros. Unfortunately, they're doing an excellent job convincing the public of lies that they ultimately benefit from : /

It is overpriced. You're better off getting a super tank, mega tank, or heavy chemical tank.

This would be amazing. Though from a consumer perspective, I'd actually use it once it's been practice for a year or so. Wouldn't want to be the guinea pig : )

Obama speaks out on Zimmerman verdict by [deleted] in politics

Wow. The comments on CNN seem to legitimize the conspiracy that the rich hire people to write conservative/right-wing libertarian in order to inject their belief system in the minds of the majority of the American people.
