| Topic | Why are so many people in the USA racist? |
| Sansoldier 07/04/20 10:55:11 AM #31 | People are generally racist. It may not be negative yet, but the concept of "other" groups. You need to be taught knowledge of others and not to be racist. --- |
| Topic | I'm legitimately embarrassed I fell for right-wing propaganda for so long |
| Sansoldier 06/29/20 9:58:06 AM #115 | I still would've been fine with it if it wasn't so closely tied to these crazy conspiracy theories. --- |
| Topic | PRINCIPAL says that Black People are PRIVILEGED cause they get $$ with NO JOB!!! |
| Sansoldier 06/24/20 9:15:02 PM #21 | She's a tiny bit right, mostly wrong. Having assistance is a privilege, but she's making a lot of assumptions about these people's circumstances. "Gaming" the system while living in terrible conditions doesn't really make sense. I'm sure most of them would rather be an assistant principal. It's true that many of these are rather poor choices even assuming things work like she says. --- |

| Topic | Angry Joe being Metooed on twitter. |
| Sansoldier 06/22/20 5:52:57 PM #201 | This sounds pretty bad for Joe. He jumped to conclusions and pushed as hard as he could, using various pick-up tricks. I think most would've thought it was a real date / hook up, but Joe was very aggressive to the point where he crossed the line (barely). Pushing against the wall was too much. I think that Joe had no clue and felt like everything was all set for him. I need more details about "hiding" the bag. I felt like there were quite a few exaggerations due to building fear affecting her perspective/interpretation. I could imagine her being scared and Joe being clueless, thinking the opposite. --- |
| Topic | My dad's threatening to kill himself bc none of his children talk to him |
| Sansoldier 06/21/20 6:02:54 PM #21 | On his voicemail or to him, read some of the stuff you typed out. Even if it's not for him, communicating some of your true feelings could very well help yourself. Picture yourself in a few years and choose the option that will leave the least regrets. --- |
| Topic | The US is ~5% of earth's population but contains ~22% of earth's prison pop |
| Sansoldier 06/20/20 12:32:11 PM #10 | I think prisoners should be made to do public service and the like (not working for companies), but I am vehemently against the concept of literally investing in and making profits off of prisons. --- |
| Topic | We're officially old. Zoomers roasting millennials |
| Sansoldier 06/18/20 9:53:39 AM #81 | Never even heard the word adulting more than like once, and what's a Hufflepuff? That a Harry Potter thing? I don't really understand these stereotypes I'm supposed to fit. --- |
| Topic | will webtoons overtake manga in popularity? |
| Sansoldier 06/17/20 11:39:31 PM #5 | To an extent, they already are. Perhaps not from just that one site, but the medium in general across English, Korean, and Chinese works. In the west, yeah, not yet. --- |

| Topic | NYT publishes America's most fascist senator, calling to send in troops |
| Sansoldier 06/04/20 8:20:23 AM #28 | I'm not sure what's wrong with this conceptually, but I agree that it can get people hurt. --- |
| Topic | New York Times- Joe Rogan is the new mainstream media |
| Sansoldier 05/25/20 11:39:29 AM #66 | I don't really follow or watch the guy much. What makes him alt right? I only saw his interview with Kevin Hart and bits and pieces of one or two others. Just from what I saw, it didn't seem like he was inserting his opinions very strongly. Does he bring dubious guests on his show, say dubious things himself, or both? (assuming alt-right is white supremacy or something similar, not really too knowledgeable about it). --- |
| Topic | My brother cannot comprehend the Monty Hall problem. |
| Sansoldier 05/25/20 8:30:22 AM #147 | it's better to switch since you don't want to stick with your initial ass percentage. Out of 3, your pick is always 33%. Out of 10, your pick is always 10%. If other choices are eliminated, you can stick with your initial 10% or switch to 90%, what's left over. Even if the numbers are wrong, it gets the job done for me conceptually. --- |
| Topic | OMG YES I HAVE AN INTERVIEW TOMORROW FOR A NEWS REPORTER POSlTION.. wow |
| Sansoldier 05/19/20 7:10:26 PM #25 | Sounds like a great opportunity. Congrats! Even the interview is good experience. --- |
| Topic | Ori and the Will of the Wisps vs Hollow Knight? |
| Sansoldier 05/19/20 8:06:48 AM #8 | Ori 2 >= Hollow Knight > Ori 1 If you're into the DLC for Hollow Knight, then that can push it ahead of Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The sequel improved a ton with combat and acquiring new abilities. Combat is still tedious in the beginning until you gain a few powerups, but after that, it's good. There's less cheap trial and error deaths in Ori 2 as well. --- |
| Topic | Jeff Bezos on pace to be the first trillionaire as coronavirus helps Amazon |

| Topic | Take the racism test, CE! |
| Sansoldier 05/09/20 11:28:44 PM #51 | https://i.imgur.com/OA1Yltr.png Dumb Test. I got docked a lot for thinking that a minority can play a role with an accent or "subservient" to a white person. It all depends on the role given. They could be a research partner or a waitress. I don't think their skin color should affect this. It's only an issue if many non-white people are never given leading roles when they are skilled enough, solely due to their ethnicity. I also got docked for the food jokes. I comment on even my own food, so I'll likely do it for dog meat as well. No need to be completely rude, but it's fine to talk and joke about it. (Garlic was a weird comparison to dog meat...) If you look down on other nations' cuisine by stereotyping, then that's bad. I think it's Ok if a non-white person has an accent. Everyone has an accent. If it's overly fake/bad, then yeah, it's not great. There's a ton of American actors who mimic UK accents and vice-versa, sometimes you need to change your voice to fit the role. Again, I think it's more of a case where there can be non-white actors with an American or non-exaggerated accent. Oh yeah, and the solid grasp of english compliment. If english isn't their first language, I think that's a good compliment to make for anyone. If you assume that english isn't their first language based on their ethnicity and make that compliment, then yeah, that's bad. --- |

| Topic | Female gamer who got Low Tier God banned from evo, recices ban herself |
| Sansoldier 04/22/20 2:24:12 PM #125 | EarlWallingford posted... Thanks for settling the rules on this, poster whom I 100 percent sure is black You're right, I am. how'd you know? Edit: To be clear, I don't think anyone should be using racial slurs. Having black people use it all the time just sends mixed signals that ends up confusing others. Now we have to see if Brolylegs and these other people who use it casually should be banned, vs many black players and commentators. People tend to pick up slang from their friends, while there are others that are actually racist (hard r) --- |
| Topic | Female gamer who got Low Tier God banned from evo, recices ban herself |
| Sansoldier 04/22/20 11:49:02 AM #114 | Either everyone can use -ga or no one. I'm on the latter side since this weird middle ground doesn't make much sense. you're not racist for using it nowadays, just how you use it. People see others using it and copy them, even on TV. --- |
| Topic | Man who served 44 years in prison dies from corona weeks before his release. |
| Sansoldier 04/20/20 11:19:17 PM #95 | Do the crime, you have to serve your due punishment. Obviously though, a 16 year old isn't going to have all the maturity and life experience in the world, but it's still somewhat close. It's not like this person was 10. At the same time, he wasn't 30+ either. Depending on pre-meditation and circumstances of the event, anywhere from 20-30ish years seemed appropriate. That's pretty much most of their life. --- |
