Everyone's so anti-police until we need them to defend against white supremacists. And most of these libertarian "1st amendment audit" and "copblock" types are covert white supremacists.
I 100% support this law. Police should not live in fear of being recorded out of context when they're doing their duty to protect the citizenry.
And then maybe Hasan Piker or H3H3 can run in 2028. I'm really optimistic about the effect the internet is having in mobilizing young Americans into politics.
A lot of people found that focus on identity a turn off, since many shows seemed to be themed around this. There's already a focus on it in day to day life, at work, and in headlines, especially during 2020. People need a break. If I never expressed any interest, it's odd to me that the recommendation engine would put it front and center, every time.
I believe that is what people complaining about 'woke' Netflix shows are referring to. Not the existence of them, the feeling that they're being promoted to everyone. They're welcome to continue, and the subscription numbers can either go up or down.
"BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color."
That's really the last thing I care about from VOD service. Also judging by cast there are hardly any BIPOC people in 13 reasons why, seems pretty white to me.
This is actually really scary. As American universities become less powerful I shudder to think of what kind of radical politics and cultural narratives will sweep the nation.
Isn't this exactly the opposite of the current state? That the overwhelming power of Universities in the US is what spreads cultural and political movements? I think you could argue that the entire Woke enterprise is centered on Universities particularly elite ones.
It is my understanding that the "woke" movement in universities is generally driven by the students and not the faculty. Now I personally never saw any of this shit when I was in college, but from what I've read of various newspaper stories, it seems that almost all of the outrage-du-jour stories generally start with the students complaining about something, not the faculty or administration doing something reprehensible.
Can you argue that is the source and/or the majority of the people? Maybe the views of a small number of academics have been amplified by those who have opposite political views and a dedicated audience
Not a Historian but it seems pretty clear that a lot of activism comes directly out of Universities. Berkeley is famous in that regard for example. These movements do tend to ripple across the country.
Only a small proportion of people are actually going to sue, and often people like this guy come onto the site, sell one item, and leave. There is little reason to try to retain him, he's demonstrated no value to the company. There's a certain amount of money that can be made by banning single-sale accounts after receiving the funds and a smaller expected loss from lawsuits. Compound this with the fact that small claims courts are closed in many states and it's clear eBay is actually being very shrewd here. I get that it's sad to lose some money, but it's an important lesson that you can't just swoop in to benefit off of others' work without providing value yourself.
And that's the exact reason we need some kind of "corporate death penalty" for companies who have demonstrated a history of scamming. When triggered, it liquidates the corporation, takes all the money, and bans anyone in management from starting a new business for 10 years.
Fasting brings quick results. Many on this site have trouble making sustained life changes because they spend a lot of time on the internet, and excessive internet use fuels impulsive habits. This leads people to choose health interventions that bring quick results that they can use to conclude a novel, controversial stance. When faced with RCTs, or waiting a decade to report an anecdote, or generation-long observational studies, or comparing with other more normal interventions, it's understandable why the broscience is attractive. We need positive results now.
While it does get you the fastest results if your goal is to gain wait, I personally wouldn’t put fasting into the same “impulsive” bucket.
If anything it should be the other way around - fasting can be a way to teach yourself to tolerate/control your impulses.
Anecdotally - the more I practice some form of it the more benefits I seem to derive.
Just last month I noticed people dosing off in a long, tedious late afternoon meeting. For me though it just felt boring, but I could easily concentrate and stay focused. Since my only meal for the day is dinner, I’ve forced my body to generate glucose continuously throughout the day, so my brain has enough fuel, and I don’t need to rely on snack and chocolates. No sugar - no insulin spike - no afternoon sleepiness.
I’ve stopped yo-yoing with my wait, as I’m pretty inconsistent with my exercise. It’s a lot simpler for me to force myself not to do something (eat) than to force myself to do something (train).
Not to mention the whole longevity thing that is getting the rounds in the scientific community in recent years.
I 100% support this law. Police should not live in fear of being recorded out of context when they're doing their duty to protect the citizenry.
