I mean, is there even a car in existence that would not dent if you dropped a bowling ball on it from 20 ft up? Tanks don't count and neither do those stupid armored car refits.

FizFashizzle posted:This is completely loving insanity. Apparently it's based on a real "test" where something about the same size and shape of a bowling ball is fired at the car, to test for pedestrian safety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBBlw3z8hsg Someone probably told Trump about the test and used a bowling ball analogy to explain it. Naturally, his mush-brain translated "kind of a like a bowling ball" to "they literally drop a bowling ball on it David Letterman style". edit: oh poo poo dog tax

I got a MIP in 11th grade and certainly didn't get expelled for it, if getting arrested was instant expulsion a third of my graduating class wouldn't have made it out. What, you mean people of colour are treated worse by institutions that are by and large designed to keep them downtrodden than white people?  I'm fuckin' shocked!

These sanctions, unless I'm mistaken, are just the sanctions congress passed that he refused to enact before?

PT6A posted:What the gently caress is this poo poo? Toxic masculinity isn't caused by an excess of testosterone, it's caused by a society that pressures people to act in a certain way. See, most people use it as a metaphor but we're getting warned by a physical cast of toxic masculinity. Testosterone overdose.

Crow Jane posted:But you're cool with the cops arresting her and her friends for no reason? Not to play devils advocate because what happened to KM is horrible, but it sounds like standard procedure to apprehend anyone who fits the description of the subject, it's just that cops are generally racist and can't tell black people apart. I dont think immediately pulling multiple loving guns on literal children over a car robbing is above-the-board (on paper, ofc cops aren't punished for anything not done to other cops), though.

No. Dropping a larger/heavier bowling ball on something like The Beast might leave a dent too, though not enough to affect the vehicle's operation.

Gynocentric Regime posted:Absolutely, if I was making a hierarchy it would be so difficult to decide if racism or toxic masculinity should be #1 or #2. From posting so I can't quite get injured at work, but I actually have a definitive answer to this argument. In Accelerated Christian Education the officially endorsed curriculum of white supremacist homeschoolers FYI) is a comic where it shows a white male pastor and a black male Pastor explaining the political process to a white woman, the black Pastor is explaining why he is being led by God to support the white Pastor for political office, and the woman is asking naive questions to the both of them. I would argue that this demonstrates that misogyny is actually more important than racism. The black pastor is allowed to be a pastor and sabolich Lee a leader within his own community, but only so long as he uses that authority to support the white male. The female is depicted as being somewhat inferior to both of them in this comic.

Asking a woke person: I feel like more white people would agree with the statement that PoC's are systematically oppressed than the statement that white people are privileged, because the concept of privilege is more foggy than the concept of oppression, and most white people would probably rather look at the issue as one of eliminating oppression than removing their own privilege. Is there subtextual difference between these two concepts that I'm missing or can I use them interchangeably in conversations?

The problem is that those idiots you’re describing look at the world and say “I can’t imagine this ever happening, it’s never happened to me.” Like forums poster xwhatever his name is.

It literally doesn’t matter that your great great great ancestors moved from modern day France to modern day Spain because these tests don’t provide that information. Except every single one of these companies is advertising the service as a "find your ethnicity" tool

Is there subtextual difference between these two concepts that I'm missing or can I use them interchangeably in conversations? While I cant speak for everyone, I think a big hurdle in the use of privilege in discussions ends up being the implication rather than right/wrong; the idea that even though they might be poor, they're well-off because they're white, for example. A part of it might be the single-faceted explanation of privilege; when explaining the concept to others a common response has been "oh, so a poor white is better off than a rich black?", which then requires explaining that they're both privileged and handicapped in different ways that are relevant to different scenarios (such as police survival, or healthcare costs).
