Yeah, I'm filling out a grant application for game dev, and it asked if I had plans to hire anyone. And I had to say no because I could just throw more tokens at anything I need to get done. Even if I earn a million dollars I probably won't go out and hire a bunch of people.

these kind of racists need to be relegated to the margins of society, shamed, mocked, and- ideally by someone who actually knows them, a neighbor or friend or family member- loved well enough to overcome their delusional prejudice
in the meantime, directionally, they need to be outvoted

Shame on you, @MIT.
17,000 men apply to MIT
8900 women apply to MIT
600 men were accepted
612 women were accepted
If we assume male and female applicants to MIT are roughly the same, the probability this happens by chance, let alone every year for a while
The probability of a sex blind admission process creating this result is 1 in 4 × 10³¹

This is deeply immoral.
After the Vietnam war boat people started arriving in Australia - many of whom were the people who had fought with us - and who were our allies.
We resettled them. We owed alliance to them.
There were communists who fought with Australians against the Nazis in Crete. Proper commies.
They wanted to settle in Australia and there were (justifiable) objections. They were allowed to settle here - but I think they were directed to Adelaide where they could not be at the centre of attention. (Sorry Adelaide).
Sending our allies back to face the death penalty is immoral as any government gets.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw

"If the rich man dines on meat and wine, then he would at least feel that the paupers in his town should be given bread and salt. But if he himself subsists on dry bread and salt, he might think that poor people could live on stones"
And this is why we make it illegal.
Sad.
I have never heard a convincing evolutionary argument for why women prey on young boys. Male pedophiles make logical sense - they’re trying to get first mover advantage by undercutting other buyers, but I don’t see the adaptive reasoning for women doing the same thing. They’re not buyers, they’re sellers.
So why does this happen?

Men are twice as likely to ace SAT math, yet women are twice as likely to get in to MIT.
Put differently, 1 in 3 men who worked their ass off to get into MIT lost their seat because they were born the wrong gender.

Do you want to win? Make sure you know who you're playing against. If you can't spot the patsy, you're the patsy.

By 6 we were out of candies. Older overweight boys coming with backpacks and the mindset of French looters. Wife: “sorry, we’re out of candies”. Boy: “ You’re lying, no one runs out of candies at 6.”
Maybe they are just exploiting an arbitrage.

Good one. Bogle is arguably the most important billionaire who wasn't. By choosing the mutual company form he effectively shared his billionaire status with shareholders before it ever came to fruition. He still passed away as a hundred millionaire but there's an argument that this "die with zero" (or die with less than billions) mentality is the greatest form of Capitalism.
