it isn't about you, it's a security risk and a massive vulnerability leaving servers open to data collection for data they shouldn't be collecting.

Read his edit, it's a bit weird that such a thing even exists. Total sum of up and down votes sure. But according to OP it's all of it.

That wiki was an amazing read, and it was pretty funny seeing some of Aristotle's earlier shitposts. Too dark? You're an L. Too pasty? You are basically a woman. Somewhere in the middle? You are a gigachad.

Some relevant quotes I liked:

Contemporary anthropologists and other scientists, while recognizing the reality of biological variation between different human populations, regard the concept of a unified, distinguishable "White race" as a social construct with no scientific basis.

"White, black, and brown are abridged, abstracted versions of colonizer, slave, and colonized."

Irene Silverblatt

Blacks and indios were subject to tribute obligations and forbidden to bear arms, and black and indio women were forbidden to wear jewels, silk, or precious metals in early colonial Mexico and Peru.

Those pardos (people with dark skin) and mulattos (people of mixed African and European ancestry) with resources largely sought to evade these restrictions by passing as White.

A brief royal offer to buy the privileges of Whiteness for a substantial sum of money attracted fifteen applicants before pressure from White elites ended the practice.

it makes me very hesitant to even want to post on here. All of our conversations will be fed to an AI farm.

Thanks for the elaboration. Sounds like the supply economics is less of the issue, and forcing people into debt is an extra step on top of helping wealthy people amass wealth. And that alone has the presumption of trust and good faith embedded within in. Convincing people to vote for that is a stranger saying "trust me bro i'll pay you back" behavior. If laws and regulations are geared towards making rich people more rich then that's all the law is meant for, nothing else. That's the point of taxes (allegedly) so that we can point the nation's wealth to what we want for the good of everyone. scam/10

ok, this definitely does not resolve the cause of the issue but it does help. It's like if I get a deep-ish cut I'm still going to switch out the bloody bandage on the way to getting antibiotics...

Sorry but I'm having difficulty piecing what you said with why knocking 20 grand off student loans got shot down. How does it tie into a tendency for profits to fall? And targeting policies such that our business leaders generate wealth faster? If we're to target e.g. tax deductions towards benefiting these wealth-bringers, shouldn't we be offering tax credits to our education system to increase the total wealth of the nation? Math and Science should be absolutely FREE, and if economics courses were free I'd probably have an easier time having this conversation with you instead of trying to figure out what you're even saying so that I could respond lol

Elon: Do I know you?

aw geez

edit:

America: We need to reduce cost of education!

Government: Hey let's put our taxes towards cheaper education!

America: no.

America, can you explain?

Low Orbit Ion Cannon: initialized

Could someone please explain to me that white/not white chart? What is white and not white?

I swear I actually don't know, and I am kind of embarrassed to ask but I just want to know. Is it strictly skin color, like is there an RGBs value that if a person averages a darker saturation then they are not white, and above that bar they are white? Or is it an aggregate of ethnicities that fall into the category of "white"?

Seriously if anyone could help me understand here. I got into an argument with someone not long ago because I said white is not a race, and her friends were backing her up as well.

I just wanna understand.

because they think it's just some dude who profitted off of reddit's goodwill without giving anything back, and now poor ol' reddit just wants to make a couple bucks to pay the bills.
