This take is wildly ahistorical. Confederates were barred from office without being impeached. Impeachment is not mentioned in the 14th amendment at all. In fact, it explicitly mentions a remedy for people who have committed insurrection: the Congress can vote by 2/3 majority to reinstate an insurrectionist's right to hold public office.
I mean, you can't just Google how to write a diversity statement in a way that matches what a university hiring committee wants. It's like googling how to write an email as a rich alumnus. It's a deep culture that most people don't have access to.
My life has been falling apart. Divorce, unemployment, dying pets, friendships falling off, fights with relatives. There are new disasters every year so it never feels stale.
While I think this law is overall a bad thing, ending diversity statements is a good thing. They add unnecessary work to an already onerous application process, and mostly serve to just serve to exclude lower class applicants of any race who don't know the right way to write a diversity statement. In practice they're mostly a class signifier and should be abolished.
Lots of people expressing negativity in this thread but I want to say that even at age 37, going home for Christmas still feels like I'm a kid again. I laugh and joke with my family, we eat good food, decorate the tree, do winter activities, and have a ton of fun. I look forward catching up with my family at Christmas all year.
Ah so you're even more personality invested in eating meat than a normal person. That's why I'm "whining" and you're so defensive about it. That makes a lot of sense!
I think it's the meat eaters, who make every effort to hide the horrific conditions of factory farms, who can't handle reality. You never get as much excuse-making and projection as when you're arguing with someone about meat. It's pretty obviously motivated reasoning.
My neighbor died. My 34-year-old coworker died. Those early days of COVID were fucking terrifying.
