Most people don't care about being CO2 neutral. The real question is what is the ROI? Will the panel save that person money. If it takes 50 years to pay for itself, I'd say that's bad. 10 years is more standard. 5 years I say it's a no brainer. Though I suppose you can also argue value for utility, if that is giving her the ability to power something off grid that would be worth something.

What benefit do white people have? I have never, literally not once, thought or cared about my race. My privilege is getting to live without noticing my race in any meaningful context. That's why white people have to be "woken". We're comfortably asleep in our bubble, from birth.

Yeah, I got to do all that too. None of it required some special place for minorities and women to go to. All it required was people not talking about race every 5 seconds. What even is this hypothetical safe space for women and minorities that white people would theoretically be upset about anyway?

And yes, I find it far easier and more effective to change my perception of reality than try to make reality conform to my emotional state.

I think people who want to be offended will find something to take offense over and people who want to play victim will find something to claim persecution over. And I think when everyone shouts about how racist and unfair everything is all the time, it detracts from the most heinous actionable items.

I always hate talking in vague generalities. I like specific events, and specific courses of action.

It's all a sliding scale of course. It's the age old push and pull off nature vs nurture; being a product of the environment that created you and free will.

I think it's telling that white people on the left are more concerned with systemic racism than minorities in general are.

Doesn't sound that different to me from "As a white male I know I'm better. "

That doesn't make it systemic. It means there are morons out there, and some of them own businesses.

Well so far I haven't been shot by any cops that I've interacted with, have not been discriminated against in employment, nor been questioned as to my presence in any building. But if you want to feel guilty, go ahead, it's a free country. My dad came to this country with $6 in his pocket and did quite well.

Almost sounds insulting though, kinda smacks of telling minorities who succeed "oh, you did so good despite your obvious disadvantages. " Like that scene from Star Trek (2009) with the Vulcans giving Spock shit for having a human mother.

As someone who doesn't watch sports, any good commercials this year?

Bullshit. Nobody should hit anyone, and it's illegal both ways.

Asking as a brown person, can you tell me what advantages white people are receiving that I'm not?

Monster Girl Quest

Never. Am 38 currently.

Projection?

Jesus. Enough hyperbolic nonsense. Browsing Wikipedia is way healthier than doom scrolling.

How about get rid of Qualified Immunity?

Is it weaponizing gender or poking fun of him replacing his wife with Elon?

@_@,

Yeah! Only men like guns! Fuck men! All hail the bears!

This sounds... Efficient?

Not that much, it was the 90's when I was a kid, we know a lot more now than we knew then so I can't get too hung up on that. Plus I'm pretty content with my life right now, and it's easy to say things with hindsight, but life is a house of cards. If any one thing changed I have no idea where I'd be. All I know for sure is where I am now is a happy place.

Damn, this clip is 10 years old now: https://youtu.be/6CXRaTnKDXA
