Spoiler

Funny you say that because Lalo IMO was the most unrealistic character in the BB universe. He was like a cartoon villain with how he was able to kill 10+ people (and taking on a whole army of assassins by himself) and get away with it so easily, climbing through vents and tunnels and shit

Is it that much more unrealistic than 10 guys being killed in 2 minutes in separate prisons by a single gang?

"Divisive concept" rules are a set of laws passed last year that include many concepts usually taught in courses like sociology, psychology and political sciences.

A bill that made its way through the Tennessee legislature aims to strengthen rules passed last year that can change how schools approach teaching many kinds of lessons in social justice, racial inequity, political science, social work, psychology and many other fields.
The bill passed the House of Representatives on April 13, after passing Senate on April 5.
In 2022, lawmakers passed rules that allow state leaders to withhold funding for schools that teach about social, cultural and legal issues related to race and racism. Most of those concepts focus on how the impact of racism affects people today.
The law also specified that schools can teach about ethnic groups' histories as described in textbooks and instructional materials. Educators can also only teach about controversial aspects of history, such as racial oppression or slavery, as long those discussions are impartial.
The bill, HB 1376, was introduced by Representative John Ragan (R - Oak Ridge). He previously said that the new bill was meant to strengthen the law passed in 2022 by "promoting freedom of expression," and keep "colleges about advancing knowledge, not about advancing political or social agendas."
Originally, the bill required institutions to publish a syllabus for each course offered in the semester on its website, meant to assess whether a "divisive concept" may be included in the curriculum. That requirement was removed in an amendment to the bill.
The bill restricts universities from using state funds for meetings or activities of an organization that "endorses or promotes a divisive concept." It also requires employees who support diversity initiatives to "increase intellectual diversity" and support students through mentoring, career readiness and workforce development initiatives.
Employees would be exempt from the requirement if the new duties conflict with other laws, such as Title IX officers.
It also allows students and employees who believe that the school violated last year's law a chance to file a report with the school. The school would then need to annually report violations to the comptroller of the treasury, redacting them as needed to stay in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
The bill would also specifically require universities to allow any guest speaker on campus regardless of "non-violent political ideology" or "non-violent political party affiliation."

Rep. Justin Jones (D - Nashville) spoke about the bill when he returned to the House of Representatives after he was expelled and reinstated. He asked a series of questions, such as whether "college students are mature enough to talk about race and systemic racism, some of the concepts you want to prohibit being discussed at the college level?"
"I believe in God. All else is settled by facts and data," Ragan said.
Jones again asked him to answer the question, but Ragan said he responded to the question.
"So, we're playing 'not-answer.' Okay," Jones said.
He also asked why the bill was introduced and said it seemed based on "white fragility and fears of the truth of history."
"This bill was brought to me by a dean of college education, in addition to another university contributed to this bill. That was my motivation, too," Ragan said.
He also said he did not want to name the person who brought the bill to him.
"How will we be honest about our history if you're prohibiting any concepts about America's racist history?" Jones said. "This sounds like fascism. This sounds like authoritarianism. This does not sound like democracy or freedom ... This member has consistently invoked God to justify this unjust, immoral and extreme, racist law."
Speaker Cameron Sexton (R - Crossville) stopped Jones from speaking. Rep. Justin Pearson (D - Memphis) also spoke after being reinstated to the House.
"This is a deeply concerning bill because it is continuing a pattern of practice that is harmful to all people," he said. "When you try to control what a person thinks, then you are assuming the role of God rather than allowing freedom of thought."
He said that the list of "divisive concepts" bars discussions on biases, white privilege and racism's role in slavery.
The bill passed by a vote of 68-26 in the House.
During a meeting on March 13, Ragan said he received complaints from universities in the state about an "overemphasis" of the original law at the expense of "intellectual diversity," which led to him proposing the new bill.
Representative Harold Love, Jr. (D - Nashville) previously asked if a conference focusing on Black history could still be held and promoted by a university should the bill pass. Ragan said it would be allowed as long as they "are not required to promote or endorse."

Little early for what? Trying to get you to explain yourself?

No, but what an idiotic question that was. Little early, dont you think?

The user you responded to posts that there is nothing after death. That there is no afterlife.
You tell him "you wish" and that the lack of an afterlife is the best outcome, and that they can keep believing in that, like Santa Claus/the tooth fairy.

If you claim you aren't saying that not believing in an afterlife is equivalent to Santa Claus then what are you saying?

You wish. That's about the nicest outcome though, so you can hold onto that, like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.

You think NOT believing in an afterlife is the equivalent to believing in Santa Claus/Tooth Fairy?

That reminds me of this murder/mystery/thriller anime that basically revealed the identity of the serial killer at the end of the first episode.

There was no voice modulation used in the killers' speech and only a quarter-assed attempt at blurring the killer's identity. I dropped the show after that.

I checked the shows wiki and I think the killer is revealed half way though the season and it's exactly who I thought it was in the first episode.

What was it?

That's a shame

You guys hate on the coolest stuff. Like this.

You know how amazing it would be for Pokemon to have to rebrand? Thatd be earth shattering. And ya'll say its stinky.

Being spiteful is one thing. Resorting to pure idiocy like this is another.

No, the person asked if it was anti-asian hate. As in, was the hate based around anti-asian hate. I said no, it was based around her voice acting. The racist garbage came in after the fact, because racists got involved.

You're the one coming in and putting words in my mouth because you didn't read the topic or what I was replying to. Quit that shit. Learn context. It seriously helps you not to stick your foot in your mouth. Idk why it's so hard for people to just read nowadays.

Bro, cool off.

He must be in some kind of trouble

Pit bulls aren't native to Japan and imports restrict "dangerous breeds" which pit bulls are part of. They're exceedingly rare in Japan.
That said, I think this is actually China which they also happen to be rare and restricted in (like a lot of countries).

Logline details are being kept in a suitcase but sources describe the story as being set in late 1970s Los Angeles with a female lead at its center.

It is possible the story focuses on Pauline Kael, one of the most influential movie critics of all time. Kael, who died in 2001, was not just a critic but also an essayist and novelist. She was known for her pugnacious fights with editors as well as filmmakers. In the late 1970s, Kael had a very brief tenure working as a consultant for Paramount, a position she accepted at the behest of actor Warren Beatty. The timing of that Paramount job seems to coincide with the setting of the script and the filmmaker is known to have a deep respect for Kael, making the odds of her being the subject of the film more likely.

interesting

Knowing Slayer that was most likely a joke.

Nah it was legitimately heated. Topic was "Damn how are all of the worst parts of Persona 5 contained to a single arc". Like I said, he did apologize for it but he was a bit too passionate in the past.

NordicValkyria posted...

I've never seen Slayer use insults without being provoked, and I know very well how some of his haters behave.

He once called people child trafficking endorsers for liking P5R's villain. That was one of those instances he apologized for though so I'm not holding it against him. Like I said, he's a lot better now but I can understand people remembering stuff like that I haven't seen.

NordicValkyria posted...

I would call it passionate rather than hostile.

The difference between them is that the former usually doesn't use insults. But admittedly he usually does apologize for it later.

wats that

Interesting that nobody who voted "bad" is willing to share their opinion.

I'm fine with him and voted good because I mostly share his opinions but he can get very unnecessarily hostile back before his suspension and his alt getting banned which appears to have straightened him out a bit.

No, it isn't. The story is very much real, but that particular picture is unrelated, much like the pictures in an UnfairRepresent topic.

I meant that it sounds like something that is satirical but it's real.

Bruh that is an onion story
