This is not about affirmative action. There are efforts to lower standards, separate from affirmative action. Maybe not for LGBT or POC but women are held to different physical standards in the military.

Edit: For Ranger School, standards were lowered so women could graduate. For some positions who cares, but pushing people through positions they aren't capable for in the name of equality is dangerous both for them and their fellow soldiers

Or you know, he's talking about actually lowering the standards which is the policy being discussed. Whether or not you think it's worth lowering admittance standards to allow more women, LGBT, POCs to join and improve diversity, at least be honest with what's being argued.

There's been ongoing debate on lowering standards, mostly for allowing more women into combat roles. While barring these groups entirely from certain roles is obviously wrong, changing and lowering requirements doesn't seem right either.

I'd absolutely agree, but I don't think that was his intention. As a politician, he should know better. This seems like another senator tried to score some political points on accidentally using the wrong term though, instead of actually arguing policy

Notice how no one here is even mentioning the actual law or any issues with it, just bashing him for misspeaking.

Are we really going to act like "people of color" and "colored people" are wildly different terms that could never be confused? He listed "black people" separately so I'd have to guess he meant to say people of color and mixed up the terms

Not saying he's not racist for other reasons, but this is gotcha journalism

They hate Bud Light too now

Don't even get me started on the sex scenes in the last movie I watched. It was downright gratuitous and took away from the plot, which seemed completely underdeveloped. After the last one in the franchise I thought they had struck a solid balance, but Backdoor Sluts 9 was a huge letdown

Then they get defederated. A lot of instances decided to not federate with Meta before they even launched

I'm starting to see it already. Even just a month ago, most niche subs were nonexistent. Some are popping up now, albeit with very little engagement

$53 cash on hand? There's broke college students with higher balanced than that

No idea what you're talking about, I just picked up a new Charger with the F&F package (25 speed manual, factory installed 5000 shot of nitrous) and it seems perfectly realistic

Pointing out Chinese company's shady behavior isn't bullshit or racism. I work in security and we're currently having to take out most Chinese cameras since they've been found to regularly ping Chinese addresses and have backdoors built in. Chinese companies quickly become an extension of the CCP.

I love spicy food but a hot beverage with it sounds awful. I don't like carbonation with spicy food either though

Absolutely. I've been taking regular breaks after smoking constantly for about a year and it took a couple days to actually have an appetite again

Fair enough, New York hates his guts anyways so there's no political value there

Where do you work and are they hiring

Are we saying Trump is from Florida now?

Trump sure as hell isn't one to fall in line but I don't see any way he loses the nomination

They'll need to include a scene with Wemby or Boban Marjanovic to make Wolverine seem the right height

Factorio also has the Space Exploration mod, but that's more if you hate yourself and needed a way to fill thousands of hours
