You accept, must the frog

Man, any narrative that avoids talking about gun control

My memory was that we knew this at the time?

I've been hiring in a male dominated field for a while, and realistically, in those scenarios, you're actually being asked to make sure you interview women at all, and if you go with a man, you need to be able to explain why the man was more qualified than the women you interviewed.

Anyone who has said they were forced to hire a woman, in my experience, has been disingenuous, and upset at the layer of accountability

When grooming is life

The thing is, saying that it's doomism about everything America has ever done is really reductionist to the actual point being made:

Like, one part of the actual CRT discussion (not whatever Florida/Praeger U thinks CRT is) is pointing out that post WWII, many families were able to take advantage of the GI bill and the prolific creation of new housing projects to get a higher education, get a house out in the 'burbs, and pull themselves out of poverty.

But at the same time, many benefits of the GI bill were denied to vets of color, and red lining meant that many they could not buy houses in the cheap new housing developments. So many black families weren't able to join the new middle class, and weren't able to start accruing generation wealth, and between what I've stated and many other policies that families of color were still barred from, and many things I'm glossing over, are still poor now.

And, okay, cool, that happened. The US did a racist thing, and it has repercussions into today. But if you try and have a conversation about what to do about it, you get this response that... well I didn't do that, that happened in the '40s-'50s, I wasn't even alive, why should I care? You just hate America.

And they're right, it's not the fault of most people alive today. But people are still reaping the generational benefits of those policies, and people of color are not. Other families are still impacted by a lack of generational wealth. People alive today.

And there is a real conversation to be had about what to do next about it. Are there policies in place that disproportionate impact the poor, who are disproportionately people of color because of the policies above? Iunno. But not talking about it only benefits the people who have already benefitted.

So it really is a conversation about what to do next, but one with any historical context at all.

But instead you have this Praeger U response, which says that we shouldn't teach children that anything bad ever happened in history. We weren't racists because slaves wanted to be slaves. Therefore people of color who are poor today are just lazy (even if they did the same things your family did to get out of poverty), and we don't need to talk about it.

Edit: removed an extra "the"

Either this is implying that Linux users are hiding who they are to fit in, and Windows users are comfortable in their own skin, or this is just transphobic as fuck.

If it's the former, this may be the wrong sub for you. If it's the latter, this may be the wrong world for you.

Shh, don't go ruining OPs meme by actually understanding how tax brackets work

I think you're alienating your allies here. This is clearly intended to be left leaning, and you're lumping OP with Trump and facists.

Froot*

The headline doesn't say that

It definitely had its seasoning completely removed. It also looks like someone gave the handle a mirror finish? Who did this to you?

Okay, so, I am reading what you're saying, and I don't really know how one could make a joke that isn't, by your understanding, part of the conservative agenda.

And if that's what you think, I am curious why you're looking at memes at all.

Can't wait for the Jan. 6 committee committee committee that'll eventually investigate this Jan. 6 committee committee

Oh, that sounds serious, what's Ligma?

Oh, look, an antisemitic dog whistle and a complaint about people pushing an ideology. In one sentence? That's fun.

Well, Germany does have some history there

You don't know what to do with the three seashells?

So, telling people to not try and be funny, even those you agree with, is definitely alienating your allies. I hear what you're saying, but I have also seen parents losing their ever loving shit at PTA meetings... And to say that everyone must treat those ignorant displays with quiet respect, because CRT was mentioned... Seems a bit beyond the pale.

I'm surprised it got the first bullet point wrong, considering how spot in the second one is
