    📚 Overview of Key Concepts

    Here's a breakdown of Critical Race Theory, Unconscious Bias, Intersectionality, Systemic Racism, and Transgenderism:


    🧐 Detailed Explanations

    📖 Critical Race Theory (CRT)

    Critical Race Theory emerged as a response to perceived limitations in traditional civil rights approaches. It posits that racism is not just an individual bias but a systemic issue that is ingrained in the fabric of society. CRT scholars analyze how laws and policies can perpetuate racial inequalities, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of race and its implications in various contexts.

    🧠 Unconscious Bias

    Unconscious Bias refers to the automatic judgments we make about people based on their race, gender, age, or other characteristics. These biases can lead to unintentional discrimination in various settings, such as workplaces or educational institutions. Training programs aimed at increasing awareness of these biases can help individuals recognize and counteract their effects.

    🌈 Intersectionality

    Intersectionality is crucial for understanding the complexities of identity and oppression. It recognizes that individuals can face multiple forms of discrimination simultaneously. For example, a Black woman may experience both racism and sexism, which can create unique challenges that are not fully addressed by looking at either issue in isolation.

    🌍 Systemic Racism

    Systemic Racism highlights how societal structures and institutions can perpetuate racial inequalities. This concept emphasizes that racism is not just about individual actions but is embedded in policies and practices that disadvantage certain racial groups. Addressing systemic racism requires comprehensive reforms across various sectors, including education, healthcare, and criminal justice.

    🏳️‍⚧️ Transgenderism

    Transgenderism encompasses a wide range of identities and experiences related to gender. Advocacy for transgender rights focuses on issues such as legal recognition, healthcare access, and protection against discrimination. The movement seeks to create a more inclusive society that respects and affirms diverse gender identities.


    These concepts are interconnected and play significant roles in discussions about social justice, equality, and human rights. If you have specific questions about any of these topics or want to explore them further, feel free to ask!

  • I did know that. I don't recall pronouncing it incorrectly since learning that fact, but I don't talk about those books or their author frequently.

  • It's "Lay" because it's borrowed from / referencing "lay person" i.e. not a member of the (TeX) priesthood.

  • People should be able to name their own babies.

    I disagree. I think persons should name themselves. But, I understand there are practicalities that require some name to be assigned by outsiders at least until the person can talk.

    For things that aren't conscious or are incapable of speech, I think we collectively assign a name. I'm fine giving higher weight to the name chosen by the "creator" or "discover", but I'm not fine with giving them veto power / final cut.

  • LaTeX (/ˈlɑːtɛk/ ⓘ LAH-tek or /ˈleɪtɛk/ LAY-tek,[2] often stylized as LaTeX) is a software system for typesetting documents

    Note the pronunciation is distinct from /ˈleɪˌtɛks/ the material.

    But, sure everyone has to make that joke at least once.

  • I think climate collapse will happen before 2063. But, if I can get to a plastic bag, some tubing, and a decent sized nitrogen or helium tank I won't have to worry about it.

    But, imma enjoy the global Internet as long as it lasts, first.

  • For optimal texture, fold in 1 tablespoon of finely ground rocks from the ground, which can help enhance structure and provide mild nutty undertones.

    Oh, you are just pretending to be an LLM / genAI then.

  • congress can ignore copyright for debate and argument

    Analysis and review are fair uses available to everyone.

    military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt

    The military does have fairly broad ability to violate, or even nationalize (and then classify), copyright and patents. Technically they have to justify that with a national security claim, but those are rarely reviewed or rejected. I doubt any of the U.S. armed forces pays for a public performance fee when barracks movie night exceeds 10 individuals, even if the movie is Disney.

  • Policing the speech of other people = authoritarianism, yes.

    Copyright is a government-granted (and enforced) monopoly. Under anarchy, no one would benefit from copyright protection, at least not the same way we have it now.

    People could voluntarily police their own speech to stay in an association... but I don't know how/if that would scale.

  • Works created by the U.S. government do not benefit from copyright protection.

    I don't believe either the government in general or congress in specific have the blanket ability to ignore copyrights held by others.

  • You see, I'm a "no code" developer. /s

  • I'm a programmer, and I've heard many programmers advocate for using "AI". I surround myself with those that reject it (primarily for ethical reasons), but the ones at my last job seemed to like it.

    Anyway, the whole industry has actually been built on vibes for at least a generation. C is bad. JS is worse. We have better languages that had better tooling and better semantics since before either of those were invented, but they were ignored in order to build an edifice to Capital on sand. Since then, the actual computer scientists (that study that branch of mathematics) have made much better languages and done studies to provide evidence they are easier to learn and produce a lower fault rate. That has been consistently ignored.

    Adopting "AI" is just another step before the whole industry collapses, and we restart on better foundations and salvage what is absolutely necessary.

    I don't know what the next foundation actually is, or how stable it can even be when it's built on this von Neumann trash instead of a proper Harvard Architecture. /s (I hope the foundation is related to GRTT or QTT.)

  • Our good girl has only caught one squirrel, but she never loses them due to speed or even maneuvering, it's because they cross the fence or climb a tree where she can't follow.

    She has "caught" a few baby rabbits, that were still trying to hide instead of evade. I'll bet you are right about her being unable to keep up with an mature rabbit.

  • Well, maybe I'll try again in the future but I don't currently own a Samsung.
