72 Here's a question for the Hordemind: would it be ethical to use Snapchat's gender swap filter to become an ethot? My reasoning is:
1. The betacucks who give money to ethots never get to see vag anyway, so what's it to them if I have a meat & 2 veg? 2. Ethots doubtlessly use a portion of their income to support a boyfriend, so the betacucks are already supporting a dude. I'd just be cutting out the middlewoman (so to speak).

I realize this isn't the most popular opinion around here, but there is nothing wrong or bad about voluntary segregation. Another term for it is "freedom of association". If I hold a party at my house, I can invite who I please. I don't have to invite people I don't like.
What was bad was when the government enforced mandatory segregation via Jim Crow laws. The civil rights laws of the 1960s went too far in the opposite direction by outlawing voluntary private discrimination along with mandatory government discrimination. If black college students want to have segregated fraternities, sororities, dining halls, and graduation ceremonies, that's fine. It's no skin off my nose. It doesn't harm me in any way. But white students must have exactly the same options. Otherwise it's bullshit. Posted by: rickl at May 17, 2019 08:41 PM (sdi6R) Posted by: Braenyard at May 17, 2019 08:41 PM (W54U5) 151

"Well, Tesla killed another driver. Pulled a Smokey and the Bandit and drove under a tractor trailer."
I think Musk's biggest mistake with Tesla was the "autopilot" which is clearly not ready for production. It tends to ram into things without even touching the brakes.

If black college students want to have segregated fraternities, sororities, dining halls, and graduation ceremonies, that's fine. It's no skin off my nose. It doesn't harm me in any way.
But white students must have exactly the same options. Otherwise it's bullshit. Posted by: rickl at May 17, 2019 08:41 PM (sdi6R) The problem is that the desire to self segregate at all times is a symptom of bad things in society and does not point to a great future.

HBCUs weren't half bad when they were founded. They attracted blacks whose families gave a shit.
Also, those blacks had been banned from places like Woodrow Wilson's Princeton which mainly restricted enrollment to Coddington van Voorhees III (that the Ivies were also banning Jews at the time, is a hint that these were a magnet for that year's finest upper class twits). Law grads from Howard would routinely kick the ass of van Voorhees in any halfway-decent courtroom.

I grew up in Las Vegas which -- ironically if not well-known -- was a town founded and politically dominated by Mormons (after the mob lost its influence). All my best friends growing up were Mormon kids (always coming up with schemes to get me to convert), and they were great kids. But they definitely self-segregated and I thought that insulation would harm them when they finally became adults and had to go out into the real world where they would encounter and have to work with many folks who didn't share their values and lifestyles. I suppose that's why most of them have ended up in Utah now ...

Ha. Looks like Tesla is taking the Obamacare approach. Remember when the
supporters switched from talking about 40 million uninsured failures to 13% uninsured success (mysteriously the same numbers)? VW and Toyota are going to be eating their lunch soon with loads of electric wagons for a fraction of the price. Freaking Tesla's are ubiquitous here in the SF Bay Area, I swear 1 out of 10 cars is one. But not a lot of people can afford a $100k plus car to get the amazing CA kickbacks. Tesla would be dead without all their subsidies. And soon, they will be. The cars are crap and owners all seem to be assholes. There's a blue one in my neighborhood - dude doesn't even slow down for stops. Are brakes and signals expensive options? On the freeway the other day, there was one going 50 in the center lane. Passing the dude, finally, it looked like the entire family, as well as the "driver" was watching the center panel - probably a TV show or movie.

Braenyard it looks like a must-see for me. Friend's father was a waist-gunner on a B-17, did his full # of missions over Europe. Oxygen mask, electrified suit. Losses were horrific until the P-51s with drop-tanks were present. Extent of losses generally not well known.

True Story: The kitchen out at the Youth Camp at Camp Dearborn had a large toaster. You would put slices of bread on these racks that went up by electric drive and they would drop into the tray as toast. The heat, though, was gas. This thing was old, probably from 1950, and you would light it by lighting a lathe of wood, sticking that into a hole on the side, and opening the gas valve.
Now, for fun you could do "Puff the Magic Dragon". I did that to Louise Axton, one of the English counselors. I plugged it in, got the chain running for the racks, said 'Watch closely," lit the lathe, *turned on the gas* and stuck the lathe into the hole in the side. The tongue of blue flame that came out, and her eyes opening wide as she jumped back was worth the names I was called. Posted by: Mikey NTH - Party of One!

The problem is that the desire to self segregate at all times is a symptom of bad things in society and does not point to a great future. Learning about other people and cultures is good, as is learning to associate with people of other races or points of view. Sheltering oneself completely usually does not end well.

Posted by: rickl --- I'm totally the other way. If people want to self-segregate, there's nothing scary about it. Diversity is not a strength; it actually erodes a society. Stefan Molyneux has done some interesting vids on studies (I could dig them up, I suppose) that show in diverse societies there is far less trust among people - including within one's own group. There's been an enormous push to shove us together and shuffle us like cards. I find that a whole lot of denial of differences has to happen in order to do that and we all wind up living in uncomfortable lies. Posted by: RKae at May 17, 2019 09:16 PM (3jjxb) 300

Showalter still in the radio booth. Saying the worst thing you can do to your baseball-loving kid is to put him on a "youth travel team".
This. Quite apart from injuries, there's the hothouse flower aspect that's just not healthy. Twelve year olds - or their parents - with grim determination to get a college scholarship if not to turn pro. Let kids be kids, FFS. It's not uncommon for such kids to blow off the game forever after that experience. It's like humping for tenure at age 12. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at May 17, 2019 09:33 PM (9OkQ7) 348
Here's a question for the Hordemind: would it be ethical to use Snapchat's gender swap filter to become an ethot? My reasoning is:
1. The betacucks who give money to ethots never get to see vag anyway, so what's it to them if I have a meat & 2 veg? 2. Ethots doubtlessly use a portion of their income to support a boyfriend, so the betacucks are already supporting a dude. I'd just be cutting out the middlewoman (so to speak).

For example, sure I am free to choose not to associate with you just because you are white
Yes you are. And I fully support this right as long as a) the government doesn't use taxpayer's dollars to support you. and b) I have the right to try to convince you to change your mind. Posted by: mikeyG at May 17, 2019 09:35 PM (LL1Be) 356

For example, sure I am free to choose not to associate with you just because you are white, but it would be great if we were, say at a MoMe, and I had a conversation with you rather than thinking "icky white person". We don't have to be BFFs, but it really is a good thing to be willing to interact with others regardless of such a superficial thing as skin color. Posted by: chique d'afrique at May 17, 2019 09:31 PM (9hauA) I agree, chique. You sound like a terrific person, and I always enjoy your comments and perspective.

I don't entirely disagree, but refusing to be in the same physical space
with people you are attending college with, based on something as superficial as skin color, is messed up. I don't think diversity = strength, but I believe life is enriched by interacting with some other people who are different from you. It does not work if it's forced, of course, but it is nice to be open to others. I went to Jax State in Alabama and had two dormmates from West Africa who were way kewl. Good ol' Emeka, I may have mentioned him to you here before. His roommate was real quiet, but Emeka was pretty outgoing. And I know I've mentioned one of my military school buddies from Mobile who came here from Cuba. His mom was our Spanish teacher and they lived around the corner. She was smokin' hot, too. Lots of people these days seem surprised that Alabama was so diverse back then. We never thought anything of it. But to your point, if I'm not welcome somewhere, I won't generally go there. But I certainly don't want the government telling me where I can and can't go and who I can or cannot be around. That's why the Constitutional right to freedom of association is so vital.

I have not tried to write up a coherent paragraph but if RoeVWade gets to tell states "you can't outlaw abortion earlier than X weeks" would the nation be ready for a case that says "also you can't kill that fetus past X weeks when it could survive outside the womb if delivered?"
I kind of think a lot of folks would go for that. They may think 'abortion is wrong but shouldn't be illegal up to 14 weeks' or whatever their cut off is, but I can't imagine many folks really think "oh yeah, its just fine to let that fetus get into the third trimester and then kill it" Even in the case of rape last trimester abortion is just wrong, and not good for the woman, why would any society give any kind of encouragement to a rape victim to go through all the physiological effects of pregnancy for X months and than kill the fetus -what is that, displaced revenge on the bastid that molested you?
