The mod is trending on Steam and says it's compatible with DEI. Anyone try it? Any good?
Thank you.
Two answers to this question:
1.) The US is either formally allied or on friendly with some 40+ countries, especially on military, economic, or cultural matters. America's backing of the...
The whole "Russia today is the West's fought" narrative is bad history and absolves Russia of it's own agency, as well as the role the KGB played in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's dissolution....
The US has been arming Ukraine for years: if the Biden administration wants to add immediacy to the process because there's 130k men of a hostile force on the country's doorstep, that's good...
Nothing done in the short term would prevent an invasion, of whatever scale. Russia is using these forces to force a political concession, and if no concession if forthcoming, will invade to the...
No one is talking about a war with Russia. Selling arms to Ukraine, increased (but not extreme) sanctioning, and supporting insurgents are not war-worthy actions. Conversely, if Russia ends gas...
Morticia I want to to address your post in your other thread, as well as here, as I don't really understand what you're arguing or what your preferred policy outcome is.
Mithradates was correct in...
It would be nice if you actually read my posts before responding to them.
In any case, some concluding comments:
1.) The "free trade is exploitation" spiel is easily falsified by the...
Kissaki I'll respond to your points seriatim, but let's get something straight first. Every country has security imperatives that are amoral, and as citizens we can assess the necessity of those...
Consistent with what many Germans are saying.
The US is talking about Germany's stance right now towards arming Ukraine. Out of curiosity, what is your stance?
Elaborate?
Too broad a brush. Just in my lifetime, the policies towards...
There's a pretty big difference between conservatives and ring-wing authoritarians, often conflated by left wing people, made worse by Monty Pythonesque distinctions between "right-wing" and...
There's a pretty big difference between liberals and leftists, often conflated by right wing people, made worse by Monty Pythonesque distinctions between "Social Democracy" and "Democratic...
That's right. If Ruth Bader Ginsburg was just as qualified a nomination as her peers, and she had the added benefit of inspiring countless women to become lawyers and judges in a way an equally...
I would agree.
Ideally it wouldn't. It can also backfire (Clarence Thomas is a perfect example). But there are two reasons: 1.) People are tribalistic, and want to see people in power that...
I think that's too strong language. Better that it's implying that the majority of the Republican party is xenophobic and "traditional" regarding gender roles, which stands in the way of reaching...
This is a strawman.
Having people in positions of power reflect the demography of the public is the desired goal, which is one reflection that "equal opportunity" is working. As sexism and racism...
I'm not pissed off, nor do I support this practice. I think racial discrimination and quotas are wrong on principle. But I'm also not going to pretend there's good alternatives, and I think being...
It's not Biden's "presumed implicit bias" I'm worried about.
Just because you don't say you're discriminating out loud doesn't mean it's not being done. As you say, names are not being drawn from a hat. People are not color blind. The ethnicity and gender of...
Picking a white male, again, and claiming you're being unbiased.
So much of this discussion is a waste of time. Judges are not assigned letter grades or numerical points for their quality. When they're looking at the most qualified judges for selection, and there...
Re Cope:
While I do not fully agree, there is merit in what you're saying.
A lot of political debate rests on differing sets of values that are never properly hashed out, so I thought I'd start a thread where people could enunciate those values. I offer here a set of...
You're ignoring that a lack of proportional demographic representation is in itself a sign of discrimination, either intentional or intentional, via agency or institutions. Whatever the (legitimate)...
I don't understand how you can say opposed to identity bias, when electing Republican judges is an explicit political identity bias. Maybe you meant to say racial identity? Even this is flimsy: if...
Trump did not appoint a single black judge for a federal appeals court, the first full-term president not to do so since Richard Nixon. If you think that's because there were no qualified black...
I think you guys (and gals) are going about this the wrong way. It's easily apparent that the Trump administration had a bias towards white males, and the Biden admin is biased against white males as...
Kissaki and Cope: I do not mean to suggest that human behaviors are not the outcome of developmental processes which involve both biology and environment in non-separable manners. But the point I'm...
That's not what is being argued, the point is that they have an insignificant effect on social roles.
That muscles and testosterone allow men to overpower women does not then conclude that gender...
It's not misinformation, it's literally the prevailing view of contemporary sociology. None of your links are saying what you think they are: behavior traits being associated with certain genes...
This discussion cannot progress until people understanding that occupational controls are just controlling for sexism to begin with, and doesn't explain why or how choices are made. It's just a...
Respectfully Kissaki, you have not read the sociological literature on this and you are stating things that are easily rebutted.
The degree is staggeringly different depending on the country...
In sociology, personal choice is also an outcome of systemic factors, and can't be written off as a control. The pertinent question is why are men and women making these choices in aggregate? The...
The irony in blaming the Dems for inflation is that they indeed caused it, but for good reason. Their stimulus recovery programs produced a high-demand economy that COVID choked supply-lines couldn't...
Ludicus's post is too long and discombobulated to address, so here are some general pointers for those interested in macro-economic topics:
There are no longer "schools" of economics: economic...
Nowhere did I support mandates. Further, and I pointed out, and your own source repeated, the vaccine does reduce transmission.
Whether or not it's "significant" is, as far as I'm aware, a...
