I did 200 miles from the Philadelphia airport last year.

You can do it.

That is most definitely NOT what “eugenic” means.

I hope you are not so dumb as to sincerely think that.

Is schooling about teaching and learning? Childcare? What should the balance be?

Is it about supporting children? Making parents feel good? What should the balance be?

I know my answers.

Others disagree.

Can you briefly explain why you particularly chose the word “eugenic?” Are we talking at reproduction and improving the stock?

I get why you might call it “bigotry“ (and why some might disagree). “Intolerance?” Yeah, I can see that.

Why “eugenic?”

Can’t believe raspberry out

Could it have been a Performa?

More recently, it had to have been some kind of Power Mac G3, right

I imagine that it is over-sampling or overweighting corrections to past known problems— and not specifically the strawberry question.

But, again, they’re not gonna tell anyone the truth about any of this.

That’s what I think.

Well, the training includes a lot of coverage of that issue.

I don’t think we’ll ever get any sort of actual explanation.

ChatGPT agrees that that could be it, but it’s not like it’s capable of giving an accurate answer on this.

In my quick use last night, it was definitely inferior.

Kept making the same mistakes, even after admitting them upon being corrected. Kept not responding appropriately to the prompts I gave.

I like spicy food, and my South Asian American wife does not. Well, not as much as me.

At Indian restaurants, the weight staff always looks to her. We always have to explain that I am the one who likes hot food.

I don’t know that they ever believe us.

FIRE has a long been a relatively conservative organization, though not a republican organization.

Historically, they would tend defend free speech from those on the left who my limit or intimidate it.

But I do not think they have ever been pro Trump.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social
What is so hard to understand about, “I really hate non-white people amd foreigners, and don’t care that much about the bottom 90, 95 or 99% of Americans“?

That seems to explain what you don’t think is reconcilable?

I could go on about the horrendous things he said, but shan’t here.

Suffice it to say that he & I do not disagree about what private schools try to do, what their mission is, or how they sell themselves.

And I am as convinced as ever: Private schools: Bad for Democracy. Bad for America.

4/4

He disagree with nothing I said, except:

1) There are “elite” public schools. Nope, not in the sense that he means “elite.”

2) Public schools often teach kids to particulate in or lead thoughtful discussions—or ever teach them that.

He confirmed everything I’ve thought about (schools) private schools. Just out of his mouth, what he *wanted* to say. The schtick and sales job was exactly what I think of them.

2/

At a work event, I had a long conversation the hubby of my wife’s colleague. He’s a long time (elite?) prep school guy. Dad, him. Teaching and long time administer.

I let him talk, asking questions with just a little push back. Mostly asking what he meant and why he said stuff.

For those few decades when national reach video has so few competitors, the best strategy was to play it down the broad middle—even if doing wrong to the margins.

When national reach video really opened up—cable, then internet video—the normal pattern came to national reach video.

2/2

There was a relatively short time when truly broadcasting was the best way to be profitable—few competitors mean less niche narrowcasting.

But print has always been full of political bias. Radio has always has garbage.

You make it sound like Yankees fans fans are a bunch of entitled assholes who have been so spoiled by a massive payroll advantage that they can’t even recognize what a good season is. Like they can only accept great seasons.

You went to law school and are comfortable with numbers!?

Exactly!

Prologue or ioniq 9 is what I’m thinking about.

What color sneakers and what color dress shoes?

@espiers.bsky.social what are you normal base shoes to travel with? What’s your second pair.

The big thing for my female friends when traveling is needing a bigger bag for shoes. (Men rarely travel with as many.)

@emilypeck.bsky.social oh, yeah. AirTags in ever piece of luggage I use. In every bag I use around. In my car. Yeah.

Totally changes waiting for checked bag. You can see when it gets closer to the luggage claim area. Way less anxiety.

@felixsalmon.com a chirping AirTag is often low on battery power. Need a new battery.

Don’t get one that with the anti-toddler butter tasting coating. Won’t work.

You really don’t understand anything that’s more than one step, do you?

You think that more money being available won’t attract more people to get the skills for the industry than otherwise? Sports is the 1 field where it doesn’t work?

Or is it that you think that dynamic doesn’t work with women?

Again, you idiotically think that they are independent.

So, where did I saw that people tuned in because the players made more money?

Nope. Never said that.
