That board member, Gloria Carlineo, said during the six-hour meeting that began Thursday night that opponents of the Confederate names should “stop bringing racism and prejudice into everything”
Abraham Lincoln: “Owning black people is racist”
Stonewall Jackson: “Why do you need to bring race into everything?”
How can anyone talk about the Confederacy and not talk about racism? It was the entire point of the Confederacy!
In this case it’s May 2024. Mountain View High School had its name changed to Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary was changed to Ashby Lee Elementary in May of 2024.
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
The colour is actually named after the fruit. Orange is the colour that an orange is. It’s fascinating that people speaking so many different languages around the world saw an orange and were like “bruh. You know the colour between red and yellow in a rainbow? I’ve found the perfect word for it”
Once an economic powerhouse that was the envy of much of the world, there is deep concern in Tokyo that the economies of China and Germany have already surpassed Japan’s — and that India’s will do so next year....
There are two ways to increase productivity. You can work more hours or you can work more efficiently. Japan has spent the last few decades increasing hours worked while never improving efficiency. Other Asian countries are growing their economies by building modern factories with the latest machines and tools. Japan won’t let go of their fax machines and stamps.
The United States has the largest known prison population in the world, it has 5% of the world’s population, and 20% of the world’s incarcerated persons. China, with four times more inhabitants, has fewer persons in prison.
You know how kids will want anything that has their favourite character on it? Gamers are just like that. Elder Scrolls 6 can have 1 minute ads in between areas and it would still top sales charts because gamers cannot stop themselves.
I really hope the recent pushback Sony got will spark a new norm but I’m very cynical.
There are only so many nouns that start with G. Everyone knows all Linux programs must be a noun and an acronym that starts with “GNU” (which is itself a noun and an acronym that starts with GNU)
Just 9 days ago you posted about how corporations are creating a housing crisis and now you’re posting about how people affected by the housing crisis should be sent to jail. I don’t understand your stance.
SFH are homes for people to live in, raise their families, etc. They are not investments. The large majority of homes should be priced where the average person can buy one.
So I’m still confused. From this comment I’d assume you’d be against people being sent to jail for living in a home they are raising their family in because someone else wants to use it as an investment.
I’m trying to have a discussion. What do you think about this law change? I personally believe it makes no sense. Why would the government pay to put people in jail instead of ensure they have access to affordable housing?
Yes, this is in relation to the closing of Tango Gameworks and Arcane Austin. Is there some immediate monetary benefit behind it that I have no idea about? Is it so they can keep the IPs and not have to deal with the developers? Are the Studios too expensive for anyone to buy? I honestly don’t understand how these executives...
Buying a competing business and then shutting it down is what all big tech companies do. They don’t actually want to run that business, but they also don’t want anyone else to run it.
I got an email from Leadnow recently and they used this phrase about Poilievre “flipping a kill switch” on the constitution. I usually trust their emails, but this is one of those instances where I wanted to double check this one. I copy pasted the phrase into a search engine and came across this video....
No. “These are your rights and freedoms as citizens and the government cannot violate them…unless they want to”. What’s the point of having rights if the government can ignore them?
Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a “miscellaneous” category together?...
Also being the most abused drug. I’d say that would be caffeine. There are more people who take caffeine daily than cannabis. But this seems to be about “bad” drugs, not “good” drugs.
Branding is product specific. I wouldn’t be surprised if nobody can put a pink square and red circle on their controller due to trademark, but that doesn’t mean Sony owns red circles and pink squares. It means they have reserved the right to exclusively have those buttons on their controllers as it’s part of their branding. If other people put those buttons on their controllers it could be mistaken for a Sony controller. If you want to put a pink square and red circle on another product Sony doesn’t sell then you’re probably fine.
Have you seen what happens to American protesters? They get pepper sprayed, shot with bean bags, and have the shit kicked out of them by warrior police and then the president holds a press conference where he says “order must prevail”.

I don’t strictly agree with changing names back, but it’s still conservative. What do y’all think?
