All you guys (and it's guys here on this forum) who think woke is a joke -- how much of it is because you find that it means that your opinion isn't listened for and respected anymore? Now, consider how that's the reality since, well, forever, for women and minorities. They had to earn their place at the table by being better than any of the men -- after all, as long as you could point to how one of the usuals was more qualified in one point, that made the rest irrelevant. The thing is, that depends on your opinion mattering. And it no longer matters in many contexts, any more than mine matters. If you're still working, at the next mixed-gender and mixed-race meeting, actively count the number of times people are interrupted in the meeting. Then look and see who's interrupting, and who's being interrupted. In most cases (though certainly not all), it'll be an alpha male doing the interrupting. And it won't be an alpha male being interrupted. Wendy P.

So carrying a gun makes you right? Does that only work if you can identify as white? WTF Scaring someone, and then shooting them when they try to fight back, then crying self-defense, is utterly chickenshit. Expecting to get away with it because mas enforcement is likely to sympathize is a pretty striking example of white privilege. It indicates a problem both with law enforcement and with the perpetrator. Wendy P.

So you’re saying as long as he shot people who turned out to be bad it was OK? What does that make George Zimmerman, who shot someone who wasn’t a criminal? Wendy P.

@carrier louis paul Your videos show the manual activation of the reserve. The French Bulletin talks about the cutter relocation. Can you explain the connection between the two?

I'm sorry for your loss. He sounds like a great guy and I wish I knew him.

The two aren't equal, but are related. "Alphas" see their opinion as more important, and more relevant, than other people's. Hence, interrupting some beta when he (or she) is talking is not poor etiquette; it is simply a timesaving feature that improves the quality of the meeting (in their eyes.) Consider having a meeting with several other people including your CEO. When he makes a noise like he's about to speak, all other conversation generally stops - because since his opinion will be the one that's most important after the meeting, his opinion IS more relevant. Many people (and 99% of the time they are male) value their own opinions as much as others value that CEO's opinion.

No, there's no law against vigilantism. But it should have taken away the 'unavoidable' part of the self defense claim, negating it, resulting in convictions for at least 2 counts of voluntary manslaughter. The Zimmerman case should have had a similar outcome. I'd bet a dollar that, had the protester shot and killed Rittenhouse, that the prosecutor would have pushed the case a lot harder, claiming that the protestor voluntarily placed himself in a volatile situation with a gun, that a 'reasonable person' could have predicted that violence would occur and any claim of self defense wasn't valid. And likely gotten a conviction for voluntary manslaughter. And child abuse, seeing that Rittenhouse was 17 when it happened.

It was a grammar/context thing. Thanks to Mrcwood for elaborating.

What slanderous statements? Just because he's legally innocent doesn't stop people from being able to think and say he's a violent racist who should have been convicted of murder. OJ Simpson doesn't get to sue people who say he killed Nicole Brown.

Thats some funny s*#t.

I bet they’re popular in Texas since they can also provide power to your home during an outage.
