I don't understand what you mean. We solved sexism and racism, didn't you hear? These are no longer problems that actually exist in the world and we're all just whining about nothing.
He's not 100% wrong about the H1B being indentured servitude. By many accounts, the only employees Twitter was able to retain were those here on H1B, which doesn't allow them to change employers without renewing their visa status. A good friend of mine was stuck in a bad employment situation because she was here on H1B. Employers definitely exploit that visa status, pretending that paying the visa processing fees gives them the right to abuse the employee.
But heaven forbid we just reform it to give the H1B visa holder greater employment rights and more freedom to switch jobs easily. Never forget that "meritocracy" is always code for rich. Those who can afford the best schools, the best tutors, who have the best social connections to achieve in their careers. A "meritocratic" system absolutely would not be more fair.
No, you're actually wrong on this account. Grooming is definitionally the emotional manipulation that is performed specifically in order to get away with sexually abusing a child. One example of this kind of grooming involves doing illicit non-sexual activities with a child in order to seem like a "fun adult" who "let's them get away with bad things" and to get the child to practice "keeping this our secret" so that when the direct sexual abuse starts, the child is already in the habit of hiding illicit activity from other adults.
"Overwhelmingly, we’re seeing these challenges come from organized censorship groups that target local library board meetings to demand removal of a long list of books they share on social media."
YEP. Same. It's always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who's never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south
For the record, my grandmother with actual Alzheimer's continued to ace the MoCA tests long after we had taken her keys and checkbook away. Not all mental deficits are revealed by those tests.
So this is a nonfiction work about the author's actual experiences as a teenager? Yeah we really need to stop pretending teenagers are innocent little flowers who never encounter stuff like this (that they often don't understand and have no one to talk to about)
This is why antimaskers are extra fucking dumb. We were always fairly certain all the cardiac effects we've seen in people right after a Covid infection were because of the virus, but they chose to go out there and throw themselves in front of the train anyway.
Yeah I'm absurdly good at not speaking in my native Appalachian accent, opting instead for a sort of "generic midwest." Unless I'm tawking to ma day-ed-dy, n' then all bets is awf."
My sister and I cover so well and so often that none of her four children who are literally being raised in Charleston, West Virginia has even a trace of our accent.
Lol 10-20 years. AGI is a fantasy.
