Good faith would be the "vote blue no matter who" and "every vote not for biden is a vote for DRUMPF" crowd

Satirical website but their main focus is music instead of international and domestic politics

Depends on the dye, depends on the process

There are a heck of a lot of places that only use dyes that are non-toxic in case they lick themselves

If they didn't force a requirement, Unis would "only take the most qualified candidates", which over 90%+ of the time would bar Black and Hispanic non-athletes because it so happens that they didn't have the generational wealth required to have both a stable home environment and access to good schooling, meanwhile the white students with parents and grandparents who got access to extremely affordable property investments can coast right into college

As far as cinematic technical works go, they're pretty good

As far as a serious story/plot go, they're terrible

As far as schlocky Sci-Fi go, nothing beats the original trilogy, but the second trilogy is just as schlocky but with a higher budget

Long and short of it is

Black people move from the South to Northern cities during Jim Crow/already lived in the area with the densest population (because everyone did) >

White people move away from cities (including those in the north) during desegregation (some suburbs still have bylaws that forbid nonwhites from living there!), but still opt to work in said cities >

Schools are established in the newly built suburb communities that are paid for by suburb's homeowner taxes >

The people left to pick up the tax burden for the schools are those that remained in the cities >

Schools become hilariously defunded that you can actually measure someone's potential income by their ZIP code >

Measures were put in place so that those from these schools might actually have a shot at getting into college, because underfunded schools dont exactly lead to competitive college candidates >

Around the mid-2000s a bunch of conservatives and radio shock jocks pushed the narrative that "they are forcing white people out of college/[insert skilled field here]" which evolved to "white people are at a disadvantage when getting into college/[insert skilled field here]" which evolved to "they are letting 'non-qualified' people get into college/[insert skilled field here]"

imo for pedants like myself, it needs to be made clear if the bear is LIKELY to harm you

If its a black bear, red panda, or the like that is not even fair, EVERYONE would rather be with a bear that doesnt want to be near you rather than some potentially dangerous rando

I'm not gonna say that his review was 'racist' at all, but saying characters that are Asian in an Asian community 'limiting the appeal of the movie' and 'made for the directors immediate friends and family' is absolutely bananas

And for a review of a movie he wasn't interested in, why did he need to double down on his review of it

The neckbeards said it was bad because it had women as the main cast

The movie was bad because it was made bad, not because of the cast

from personal experience, veggie burgers make excellent topping-condiments to regular burgers

they have all the flavors a burger wants

No, the first part and the second part were definitely separate, because regarding the 2nd one chumbos like ol Benny "my wife is a doctor" went on a crusade defending Mr Rogers because Rogers mentions that boys and girls are different

I mean, if by "liberal bias" they mean "they want NPR to continue" I guess it's technically true, the same way that "Public Broadcasting should continue" also counts as "liberal bias"

I'm like 90% sure I remember Mr. Rogers testifying before Congress to keep PBS a thing, which was met with vitriol by right-wingers
