Oh yeah?! Well I'm gonna celebrate women, blacks, and gays even HARDER!

hmmm. Sounds like something an insurrectionist would say.

It finally got the fingers right.

Thanks for stopping in Rochester!

Chemistry, biology, and medicine are the few places where AI can provide real benefits to our world.

The liberal agenda is state flags with feet. At least it's better than when they copypasta the racist confederate flag on to a state flag.

"We shouldn't be helping other countries when we have so many homeless here."

"Can we help the homeless here?"

"No."

You're conflating a few different concepts, and misunderstanding how DNA tests work. ...And the only thing any of this has to do with CRT is that these questions are a symptom of it.

Race, ancestry, and ethnicity are not synonyms.

Race is "A group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of supposed physical or genetic traits shared by the group. Most biologists and anthropologists do not recognize race as a biologically valid classification, in part because there is more genetic variation within groups than between them." (American Heritage)

Ethnicity refers to "people sharing a common cultural or national heritage and often sharing a common language or religion." (American Heritage)

Ancestry is biological lineage.

DNA tests approximate the location on the globe (overlaid with national borders) where your ancestors lived at some point in time. They do this by taking DNA samples of people from all around the world, mapping that with human migration patterns, and comparing your DNA to that data pool to determine the statistical likelihood that you're ancestors lived in a certain place within a certain time period in human history.

DNA tests do not determine race (social classification) or ethnicity (cultural classification). DNA tests can determine some physical traits, but not everyone with the same traits belong to what we might consider the same race. And not everyone who considers themselves to be of the same race have the same DNA.

There is no biological definition for the word "race".

Context?

I don't have to imagine. I was there 3000 years ago. In the early days of the web they saved entire newspaper pages (as printed!) as single image files. You'd have to zoom in and pan around the page to read it. It was absolutely painful.

Shm. Smh. The fucking people who call all sodas "coke".

Them: What kind of Ford do you drive? Me: a Chevy.

You lost me with all the ads baked into the OS. You're not gonna win me back with... checks notes Notepad.

I've dipped my toes in Linux a few times over the years, but after Windows started pushing ads to the start menu, the lock screen, and the Edge Collections pane, they pushed pushed me off the cliff.

We should do a "where are they now" on this kid.

You don't get rich being an introvert who keeps out of trouble.

HE LED AN INSURRECTION! How the hell are we falling for it a second time?

Hot take: memory is pliable.

He's a hero /s
