I would say that learning draws from the pool of "mental energy", but working out draws from the pool of "physical energy". Just because your brain is tired, it doesn't mean that your biceps are.

With just a single frame to go off of, I can't tell. There's not enough information there. edit: I found a video of this event: https://old.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1qjfxbj/ice_pepp... I

Do you have an example of a person following orders and complying while being arrested, but still being brutally beaten and pepper sprayed by ICE?

When I worked off of 16th street, years ago, many of those homeless people had jobs with the Denver VOICE, selling newspapers. I even bought a few. Are they still around?

I can't find any evidence of him saying those exact words, that black people are "inherently dangerous".

I'm black, and I can ignore Adams' "overt racism", because I understood the context of his words, and I can empathize with him. Please don't speak for an entire group of people.

I'm wearing a fitbit (charge 6) now, and I still have this feature. It's called "Smart wake" https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2021/07/09/fitbit-smart-wake...

Can you provide an example of what you would consider a good implementation of DEI efforts, as opposed to a "botched" one?

74,000 is the approximate number for just 2023. The number was even higher in 2022. It's not "just" 74,000 deaths.

Thank you! Do you mind if I "friend" you on LinkedIn? I don't use LinkedIn all that much, I'd just like us to be friends in some way.

Thanks again for continuing this conversation! I'm enjoying it. Also, can you recommend me a book or two to read on this subject? Thanks in advance. >Since reparations will likely never happen or even start to happen, then concessio

>Do you believe that, as PG says, in 1986 and the following few years, (not now, we'll save that for later, he specifically is talking about the 1980s) this title IX ruling that expanded the definition was misused in a priggish sens

I've never met anybody who used neopronouns either, I've only heard about it online. I wonder if there are any long term effects of forcing someone to say something that they consider to be untrue? Taken to its most hyperbolic ext

Personally, agree with calling people what they want to be called. That said, here's a thought experiment: What if someone is inconvenienced? What if someone feels uncomfortable using pronouns that don't match the sex of the per

I don't think that's a fair reading of it. Consider, for example, expanding the definition of sexual harassment to also include creating a "hostile environment". I think that pg's point is that this expansion to inc

It's not just Sweden, I could list other countries too, such as Denmark, Finland, England (outside of trials), Wales and Scotland. Norway calls it "experimental". All this information was found on the homepage of the same sit

I would think that your claim about "99% of people asking questions have literally zero interest in answers" applies more to 'both sides' than one might initially think. Is either side open to being told "no",

It seems to me that prigs, as defined in pg's article, are just jumping on the transgender issue because it's an easy way for them to enforce rules. From my understanding, having read both articles, PG might say that the prigs hav

It's hard to prove that this happens to any given individual, because employers aren't mandated to announce why any person was "overlooked". One might be quick to blame "structural oppression", racism, sexism,

Because you said that this author has the "wrong take on wokeness", what do you believe to be "the right take on wokeness"? And by the way, I do think you are being more than a little bit performative here, because it se

A traditional forum/message board is much better for archiving that fruitful technical knowledge. How many of us have found answers to a problem thanks to a forum post from 10 or 20 years ago? I've never liked Slack/Discord f

I googled his discord identifier (not the display name, but the one you can't change), and it is apparently an Indonesian surname, so I think you're right, he's not Japanese at all.
