I don’t understand how this is getting approved.

Because you get promoted for changing things, not for keeping things the same. Almost every change like this is motivated by someone trying to get promoted.

Deplorable (adjective): Dishonorable or deserving of strong condemnation.

Vermin (noun): Noxious or disgusting wild animals that are difficult to control.

Pascal’s little-known friend Luigi’s wager.

Sorry, but that’s not how the law works - it doesn’t matter how morally justified a crime might be.

”On a scale of 1 to 10, how often do you think about killing yourself?”

“Uhhh… 3?”

”That’ll be $40”

Not only that - they’re dying in the street immediately adjacent to vacant luxury condos.

Even if they do, the Palestinian diaspora has almost no presence in “swing states” in the US.

I also wonder how many of them also lobbied in favor of similar policies. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s also 100% of them.

This map is completely meaningless. The local value of “one money” in each country’s currency varies massively. A Coke might cost 1 dollar in Australia but cost 1000 won in South Korea, but Australians make 50,000 dollars per year while South Koreans make 3,500,000 won per year.

My friend’s theory was that a lot of it is because of how long and dark the winters are in northern europe.

temporary detransition

That’s a very strange way to phrase it. I wish we could just recognize that sex and gender can be orthogonal properties of an organism.

Joke’s on you - my back hurts all the time!

Florida has the third-highest Jewish population of any state. Only New York and California have more. I suspect his constituents support this sentiment.

Don’t be so quick to dismiss the feedback from compliance teams. It’s possible TOU are written such that you really can’t store data on the client without agreement. It’s also possible that other regulations besides GDPR apply that you may not be aware of, for example those specific to banking or health.

The preview image looks like the lady on the right just let loose the most foul stench imaginable and the other two are being forced to deal with it.

TFW you roll a natural 1 on your background.

The difference is that “14A can be circumvented by lying about intent” is a weaker concern than correlative discrimination. It implies that as long as someone is being honest, they would not run afoul of non-discrimination laws. My point is that even honest and legitimate non-racially-motivated intents can still be discriminatory.

Except that’s not the issue. You can be truthful about a non-discriminatory intention and still be discriminatory. For example, neglecting wheelchair ramps because they’re too expensive is still discriminatory. Even if the redistricting was more politically motivated than racially, which it very well could have been, the end result was disenfranchisement of an overwhelmingly black population.

the district drawn was motivated by politics, not by race

If this argument is allowed, then the entire 14th Amendment can be circumvented using any attribute with high correlation to the targeted class. Don’t want to serve black people? Just say you only serve people with a skin albedo above 0.2 - it’s about aesthetics, not race! Don’t wan to employ women? Just make short hair a requirement for the job.
