A country born by old white men which will die by old white men. Begins with a revolution to sever ties with a monarchy, ends with a coup to bring it back. We are truly coming full circle. 🤡

Asked if anything could convince him that he was on track to lose to Trump and should step down, Biden responded with a smile: “It depends on if the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me that, I might do that.”

Sir, the Lord Almighty better come down and take you back with him. Take Trump too, while he’s at it.

After that debate and all the things he’s said since, Biden’s image is at an all-time low. As ableist and ageist as it is, people think he’s a senile old man in the late stages of cognitive decline, with no business running a government. I doubt he or his campaign are going to do what they need to do to overcome that perception, and I doubt the Democratic Party will make the right calls either. “Decades of civil service” and “somewhat better than Trump” etc. are not going to be enough.

damn, who could’ve possibly seen that coming? 🫥

What an audacious request. I hope it’ll be rejected — this just has “bad idea” written all over it.

I’m surprised to hear that anyone would complain about this with C. Even the Wikipedia page about encapsulation cites C as a non-OOP language example.

This person’s upvoting beans, and you’re all just going to do nothing about it? What a sick world we live in.

There’s not really anything to disagree with. What you’re calling a No True Scotsman isn’t a No True Scotsman argument in the slightest.

While I appreciate the anger please consider that “mediocre <ethnicity>” is not a very nice way to phrase this.

They are using the original title of the article. As per the sidebar rules - “Preserve the original title when possible.”

Also given the recent demographic pole there are many “white” people here who are likely on your side. It particularly hurts when people on your side use language like this.

To be honest, I don’t find this phrasing nearly as harmful as people of color being told for decades that they weren’t as qualified or deserving to be admitted into Ivy League schools compared to white applicants and that the only reason they were “allowed” is because of their race. Nor does it really compare to the harm caused by decades of subjugation, discrimination, and generational wealth disparity.

I second “sizzle” or “sissle.” My partner pronounces API as “appy” and it’s the best thing ever.
