yea everyone code switches

also are these white norms or just modern professional norms? Is it different from how asian and latin people act in a professional setting?

White norms became professional norms because white people dominate the work force.

Businesses arent entitled to existence

They're not. If they die out, they die out. I'm just saying the idea of stopping them from existing from the get go is silly. Let them give their shot at a small business, and workers get another option for where they can work once the job market returns to normal. No forcing, just options for people.

What am I looking at

Think TC is one of those guys who think businesses shouldn't exist if they're not rich enough to pay their employees well. The flip side is he's probably the same type of person that will complain about the rich all the time.

This is not the 50s. You do not just give out your resume and they offer you jobs they hope you can do for them. Are you a boomer?

You have to give your resume when there is a job posting and you have to interview for a job. Stop nitpicking bud.

"The difference of opinion coincided with Mr Wilhite being awarded a lifetime achievement prize at The Webby Awards. To mark the moment, screens at the ceremony displayed a message he had written saying: "It's pronounced 'Jif'"."

The fact that the Team Jif needs to spell it a different way for people to know what they're talking about proves they're full of shit. You know how Team Gif says it? It's pronounced "Gif."

Way to tell everyone you never applied for a job in your life.

Way to tell everyone you don't understand basic economical concepts

Even if you get super literal with the process, it's the same thing. When you give an employer your resume and interview, you are selling yourself. You are telling them what you have to offer for this job. Then they give you a salary offer, and you get to choose whether you accept this salary or not.

You keep acting like we're slaves with no pay and no decision making power over whether we take a job or not.

You offer a good and service. Employers offer a payment for it. Not sure why this is so hard for some of you to understand.

I work to make myself money, and I live comfortably off of it. I am able to buy much more with this money than I could've have produced on my own with the same labor hours. It's a huge net benefit for me.

I like how so many of the main characters have their own interesting awakenings going on. We knew Perrin was going to have some kind of wolf affinity, but it seems like it runs real deep after what his eyes were doing and how easily he got out of his bonds.

Same. Nynaeve was so hype. I thought she was going to be a jobber at the beginning, but then she went HAM. Hoping she's the dragon

Yes. Im good at mental math, but the teachers wouldnt give me any credit if I didnt show my work. Once we got to Algebra nothing ever made sense to me again. I hate how precise math is. Even if you do follow the formula perfectly but you accidentally made one small mistake with your calculations the entire thing is wrong.

Thats why English was always my favorite subject. Reading is fun and you can interpret the texts however you want as long as youre able to explain your reasoning. Plus online Cliffnotes and the teachers outright telling you the interpretation that they like in class made it easy to ace tests and essays

I found the opposite to be true. In math, if you followed sound logic and showed your work which you should be able to do if you know what you're doing, it would be right. It's very clear cut on whether you get points for something. English on the other hand was hypocritical as fuck. They'll tell you it's subjective, but then if your opinion is different from the teacher, they'll mark it wrong.

As for the topic, math was my favorite subject after science. Least favorite subject was social studies because it was just memorization. I prefer classes where you learn a few concepts and then can apply it to a variety of different problems.

It is strange that TC apparently doesn't consider a country worth even talking about unless it's lily white. Like you point out that the US ranks higher than the vast majority of countries in the world and his response is "lol of course it ranks better than the savages, only Western and Northern Europe matter."

Exactly.

Nobody is saying the other countries don't matter. Of course they do. What we're saying is the U.S. being better than those countries isn't the huge accomplishment you seem to think it is when the U.S. has far more wealth and resources than those other countries (and much of it is as a result of exploiting those countries).

When we compare the U.S. to countries of similar global-economic status (an actual fair comparison), the U.S. is significantly lacking in almost every category that matters. Thus, it's not unreasonable to say the United States sucks as a country given its status as a world superpower.

Nobody here has claimed their life is worse than that of a poor Brazillian. It's just a disingenuous narrative crafted to deflect away from America's problems. Problems that aren't nearly as trivial as you're trying to make them out to be.

So a country's wealth doesn't matter in looking at individual living conditions, it's only useful as a way to see what countries you can be be compared to...really dude?

Living in wealth is better than living in poverty. Your "fair comparison" is a load of shit. Being able to live in a wealthy country is the benefit. The fact that you live in a country that is a basis of comparison for the top is a privilege. Just because you're not the richest kid in the block, doesn't mean you're not well off. You don't go into some stupid ass spiel about "well in MY ZIPCODE of rich people, an actually FAIR comparison, I'm actually not that rich. Those people way richer than me."

Lol what the f*** does that have to do with basic public infrastructure? Are you trying to argue America can't provide a better healthcare system than the one it has now because there's too many minorities?

I'm saying that you shouldn't act like these other countries aren't worth being compared to. People like my parents worked so hard to come to the US, and make sure to let me know how lucky we are to be here. When people try to teach you the same lesson, you dismiss most of the countries in the world. It's disrespectful as fuck to those other countries.

Everybody's too afraid to name their own country because they can dish it but can't take it.

They're thinking of these Nordic countries that are like 95% white. People like OP dismissing most of the world because they arent "developed" is spoiled and racist af.

It's like when a rich kid cries because his parents bought them a normal car instead of a Ferrari.

"Most kids will be happy with any car!"
"UGH don't compare me to those poors!"

No, absolutely not true. For starters, gravity is not an issue for any kind of blade fighting. It's nearly inconsequential for real swords, let alone lightsabers, to attack upwards or downwards due to gravity.

Regarding access, your arms are attached to your shoulders. You hold your sword in front of you. If you want to block anything around your head, torso, or waist, it's a very small adjustment to go from most guards to a parry to an attack. Your reach is also the furthest extending directly forward from your chest.

If you want to block at your legs, however, you need to fully extend your elbows and sweep your blade far away from your center of mass, which removes a great deal of alacrity and force from your actions and response. There is a reason why we throw baseballs, swing bats, shotput, push, pull, punch, and clinch at shoulder height and not bent over our own feet. The biomechanics of the human body are not favorable towards gross motor function while bent over or crouching.

Then, your counter-attacks are going to be at the place where your opponent can most easily defend--The head and face. They can see your attacks very clearly and focus their efforts entirely on defending their upper body. I could go on but I'll leave it here.

Why is it inconsequential? How is swinging a heavy sword against gravity any easier than throwing punches upwards?

Having the high ground in a one-on-one melee fight is actually a disadvantage as it exposes your legs to your opponent (which are more difficult to block), while also making your opponent unreachable to attack. In other words, the high ground gives you a disadvantage both offensively and defensively in a sword fight. Obi-Wan's position was far from being a guaranteed victory, and there were about a million and one other ways Anakin could have countered that didn't involve jumping right in front of Obi's lightsaber and being easily cut to pieces.

I don't think that's true. Lower ground means you have to work against gravity with upswings while high ground let's you slash down.

Also you have easier access to your opponents head and upper body. Much better target than your legs
