Originally posted by Meikai Hmmmmm. The idea of "systemic _____" would be more that if we restarted society with 25 of each and ran it the way people blaming "systemic" issues for the disproportionate representation in crime statistics want to, we'd see each group committing roughly 25% of every crime (because there's one race: the human race, and we shouldn't observe significant differences in behavior across racial lines without the social/historical/economic pressures that exist in our society).
(Although we'd need more than 25 of each - with a population of 100, we're liable to see some wonky outcomes. Maybe one year 9 asians get busted for selling weed and all of a sudden a HUGE proportion of asians are drug dealers, but obviously that's not really relevant to what you're asking. Just to say that ideally we'd want a ton of each if we were going to prepare statistical rates of anything between them.)
But maybe that IS relevant to what I'm asking. As soon as the majority proportion of the Asians are drug dealers, people start saying well, wtf, asians are clearly drug dealers. They're the ones doing the most drug dealings. I hate drugs and now I hate asians.
But was it there fault in the first place? Or it was just circumstance to begin with and then things got of hand and then blah blah blah psychological shit and then you get millions of billions of people of their respective races doing the same thing that they by circumstance just happened to do in the first place.
I always defer to the fact it that it just sucks that we're born with brain we are, the race we are, the whatever we are.
If Jiggaboo Johnson was a black man, would he be here as the same person? Would he make be racist against himself? Would he be happy and proud to be who he was? Would he be a good person or a bad person? Would it have ANYTHING to do with him being born black or would he take sole responsibility for how he is? etc etcThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Meikai Depends. If you believe there are hundreds of mass shootings each year, that's mostly gang violence. Whites definitely have a near monopoly on that particularly fucked up stochastic terroristic kind of mass shooting though. The boys going for a new high score are almost always deracinated "white" amerimutts.
As for rape and pedophilia, whites - as with serial killing - do commit most of the crimes… but then, whites make up most of the population. From what I can find the rates aren't perfectly proportionate to population (to be clear: rates are disproportionately higher - huwhites are naughty), but the same is also true for blacks. I'd be interested in what happens when we control for "white" MENA individuals (we all know who the 'grooming gangs' in the UK and Europe are). 🤷♀️
Is this where the 'systemic' term comes from?
Like if the population were eradicated and we started over with 25 whites 25 blacks 25 Asians and 25 Hispanics (for the sake of simplicity) would all these statistics stay the same evenly or would they change based on 'systemic' stuff.
Or if 1 person of every race was born, isolated from the world, on their own island, how would they be growing up? Would they be predisposed to certain behaviors or would they just have behaviors that later on got disposed onto them?

jajaja I thought a grinch arc was some medical term for like a pacemaker or some stent near your heart arteries. YOU FOOLED ME. fool me once shame on me.
I guess I've somehow really seen The Grinch. Or paid enough attention to know about the heart growth thing. I have watched some episodes of Winnie the Pooh though. I wonder how much he weighs.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-08-17 at 9:57 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastI understand that saltwater can get cold enough to form ice and that the salt mostly leaves when that happens. I understand that.
It appears that the iceberg that sunk the Titanic came from the ice sheet in Greenland, which would not have been formed from seawater/saltwater.
So no, the iceberg that sunk the Titanic was not saltwater before it became an iceberg. Take it up with Jeeves! I'm just the messenger.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

IT WAS SEA WATER WHEN IT FROZE…IDIOTS…THE SALT "EXTRACTED" ITSELF DURING THE FREEZING PROCESS.
Glaciers aren't sea water and weren't formed from sea water. Icebergs come from glaciers. Glaciers and icebergs are always fresh water.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2023-08-17 at 3:29 PM UTC in I wanted to be a lawyerTalking yourself out of being a lawyer is one of the most lawyerish things you could do lol.
Maybe you could still be a paralegal or something. Someone who more sits in the background, not the spotlight, just preparing arguments and helping lawyers while not having to do the heavy lifting so-to-speak.
Of course you'd still have to interact with folks but it would be easier to ease into it, and with time, like anything, your social skills would likely improve with the territory.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2023-08-17 at 12:42 PM UTC in 🍬🍬Candy~Land🍬🍬I remember in 6th grade I had a pair of jean suspender things but I'd let the two straps hang down behind me and thought it made me look SOOPER KEwl. I did all the other 90s shit too at one point or another. Bleached blonde bowl cut parted down the middle type thing, jncos, chain wallet, mossimo and 26 red apparel, airwalks and vans, etc
All that matters is that THEE hottest girl in school, Lisa, liked me and we would walk down the hallway with our arms around each other and I felt like the most badass motherfucker in the world.
Then we'd go across the street after school to the little gas station where they had mortal Kombat 3 and play for hours and hours, pwning n00bs with Sektor and SmokeThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Cowboy2013 I may be thinking of the second one. Down up left left a right down.
And I stole somebody's x-brain or whatever you called them. My parents would always tell me they were sold out. Idk if they really were or they just didn't want to get it. Some stuff would be like that back then.
I was wondering if I was misremembering but yours sounded familiar too. It was also from the original. It brought up the cheat menu apparently?

2023-08-17 at 1:24 PM UTC in 🍬🍬Candy~Land🍬🍬I think the x-brains probably were actually sold out. I remember going to our local sports store to try find a high-end yo yo and they were pretty much out of everything and the fanciest ones were locked up in a case and I couldn't afford them anyway.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Originally posted by Cowboy2013 Idk who wore pants like that like that made them popular. Marilyn Manson was pretty cool back then but he never wore anything like that that I know of.
Yeah I don't recall any celebrities wearing any of that shit really. I think it was just somehow trendy in like a monkey see monkey do type of way just seeing other kids doing it but who knows how it actually starts. FADS and whatnot. I don't recall any celebrities using yo-yos but for some fucking reason every guy in the world in 8th grade started to buy yo-yos and do yo-yo tricks for a few months until it got old and then we moved to the next thing.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
