Here's one guess, off the top of my head: what actions have you taken to reduce the likelihood that police in your community will kill a black person unnecessarily? Cause as much as I care about that issue, I never reached out to leade

MLK named "the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice" as "the great stumbling block in [the] stride toward justice." I'm not expanding a thing.

Yes, they can. My M1 Mac just works. You got a dud. Return it.

No, you'd like to define racism narrowly. Not that I can get in your head, but doing so sure makes it easier to imagine ourselves as not complicit. But evil is all too often banal, and passive.

Yes, antiracism must be measured by its effects. Google's campaign had antiracist intentions, and racist effects. That doesn't mean we should all give up on effective antiracism, though. This tactic/campaign/etc. was n

Broadly, the New York default is a departure from the historical norm, and the debtor/creditor "exception" is a return to it. The historical view is that the error is the payor's; they're the ones that should bear t

This is partly why I really like my Zilent switches. The tactile bump is at the top of the keypress, so you can let up as soon as you're through it. Cherry tactile switches require pre-travel.

Internal monologues absolutely keep people poor. Failure to effectively negotiate is nearly 100% about internal monologues, particularly once the time has come for negotiation.

Except everyone is still publishing. On the internet, even! And talking on television channels with an audience of millions. You can't point to a single individual who is unable to publish their ideas online merely because their ideas

The parent presented nothing other than hyperbole. What argument would convince them? Should I point to all the libraries that still stand? Even if the internet as a whole disappeared (not just their preferred platforms) we'd be in a

Wait, did the US spend the last few weeks burning all the copies of John Stewart Mill or something? Cavalierly destroyed centuries of heritage? Come on .

> I would've assumed Corky said "go home and bite pillow." I think that amounts to an assumption that the author is dishonest. If Corky's speech is broken in that he leaves out "my", the author's additi

Quotation lends more authority than paraphrase, and the original language may be important, precise, or eloquent.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey, right? But I don't think there is a convention when it comes to twist ties, because a twist tie isn't something that gets tighter or looser. It's more closely related to spinning. I'd bet l

No need to make accusations. It's just that the problem the article describes is with UHS, not with taking police out of the response to mental health issues and homelessness.

Yes, as I acknowledged in another comment.[0] But it's not especially relevant to the point I was responding to: this program, where police are replaced by healthcare professionals, primarily deals with people who lack housing or incom

For one thing, we frequently see many of the same patients again, back on the street or in their communities, which is pretty definitive reason to think they're not locked up indefinitely.

To the extent that our experiences differ, I'd bet that things resolve in my favor for these cases . In other words, the vast vast majority of encounters that this article describes are ones involving people with very low incomes or

Private insurance often pays providers better rates than Medicaid, so patients with private insurance are on paper more "desirable" than patients without. The commenter is suggesting that translates into kidnapping, essentially.

Fine. In the meantime, any objection to taking billions from a program that has dubious outcomes and involves violence and a permanent criminal record , and shifting it toward one that has dubious outcomes but doesn't?

This isn't changed by an arrest being the first step. As an EMT I frequently transported people to hospitals (or from hospitals to psychiatric facilities) following their arrest. This just avoids the extraordinary cost to both society

Is it really that amazing when getting funding for anything takes pulling teeth? Voters have been convinced that investing in government operations is theft.

This seems like nitpicking. Especially because "Amazon" being chosen in '94 doesn't mean Cadabra wasn't the name it was chosen to replace. How is Paul "saying something different"?
