There is quite a lot of appalling real estate-related NPR investigative programming to find, if one is so inclined. Reveal in particular is a mainstay of, "Inspiring justifiable Sunday afternoon vexation over the state of Americam soci

>Does that mean selective hiring needs to end? In all honesty, I'm of the opinion that job recruiting should involve an objective "required skills" floor, and then a lottery for all who meet it. It'd been known for so

This, of course, leads to the uncomfortable answer to OP's original question. We know what the US would look like under those circumstances: it would look like it does today.

I don't think this is "wokeness" so much as the centering of American perspectives crossing the streams with reasonable skittishness towards the prospect of referring to black people in an undignified manner (which, frankly,

There was a semi-deliberate effort to reshape ideas about programming in the 60s and 70s, as awareness of its coming importance was rising. The most infamous of these changes was, of course, the shift from the perception of programming bein

I'm pretty sure this was the plot of at least two separate Final Fantasy games. The answer, in one of them, was "France."

That doesn't really answer the question, and now I'm invested in the prospect of hearing one, too.

Eh. This seems like a very "Load State" kind of way of looking at things. That doesn't preclude a kind of higher-order logic which generated this state, and from within the state, there would be no way to tell. So time isn&#x

Replying defensively was a surefire way to prove that you'd missed the point. I'll give that you truly embody the salesman ethos, at least. Unfortunately, that includes a tendency to try to spin potential negatives into positives.

I'd be interested to hear the perspective of the people left in your wake. The cost of engaging with a strong-willed "do-er" is what happens when someone, by the do-er's measure, fails to keep up (or, god forbid, gets in

I'd like to propose another dimension (or perhaps something that counts as a modifier to intelligence): confidence and cowardice. I would describe myself and my high school friends as, nearly universally, clever, lazy, and terrified.

by bsanr2 5y ago
It is also very easy to turn a "do-er" into someone unmotivated by ignoring or discounting their experience, knowledge, and effort. You should also consider if you're really "educating a do-er," or engaging in some

I have to push back a bit. Internet research only gets you so far and can be quite difficult. In the best cases, we were able to get into from our vendors that wasn't normally accessible to the public. And even without that, customers

The rough analog to caste in America is race, and you'd better believe that it influences Tinder matches. So, yeah, it's pretty bad here too.
