bron , in One trick to boost your chances of getting into an elite college? Be rich.

Honestly as well meaning affirmative action is meant to be, it's arguably targeting the wrong thing, which rather than admitting based on race, it should be based on class. True diversity comes from people from different lifestyles, regardless of race, instead of all from the elite.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Amen. Not to mention, class based affirmative action also massively benefits minorities. It's a twofer, and more equitable.

I love it when they fight

Shardikprime ,

Maybe he wants to create a real life MegaMan X

I’m not really into K-Pop, but that is very unfortunate

In other astonishing news, water is wet and we’ve fucked up this planet.

technically speaking, water isn't wet, it makes other things wet. http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=6097

Yo mamma is wet

@dystop@lemmy.world avatar

This isn’t limited to just college admissions, but yes unsurprisingly, being rich is a lifehack in general

squaresinger , in How desperate US prisoners try to escape deadly heat

Forced labour and deadly prison conditions. How again is this better than a russian gulag?

Hmm, starting to smell like a general strike…

rockSlayer , in FedEx pilots reject 30% pay hike proposal, but a strike isn't imminent | CNN Business

This is a normal part of bargaining, tentative agreements are regularly rejected. When the contract lapses, then they’re likely to vote on striking

Aussiemandeus , in Belarus arms emergency ministry to be ready in case of armed conflict
@Aussiemandeus@lemmy.world avatar

So what is their concern?

People will wake up and rise up?

I don’t think Ukraine is in a position to invade.

Maybe Wagner is planning to take over?

Yep :d

SeaJ , in Elon May Have a Huge Issue Because Microsoft Owns the “X” Trademark

The design is also a unicode character.

lolcatnip ,

Sort of. It’s how some fonts render that character. I’ve noticed it tends to look like the Twitter logo with Android’s default font, but it’s noticeably different in Firefox on Windows.

STUPIDVIPGUY , in FedEx pilots reject 30% pay hike proposal, but a strike isn't imminent | CNN Business

Pilots already make plenty of money though

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

My guess is it's not just about the money.

bassomitron ,

I think that’s their point. They make good money already, so it’s like you said. likely about other issues.

nutbiggums ,

So does the CEO

TheGoldenGod ,
@TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world avatar

The current FedEx CEO makes almost 23 times what the average pilot makes, and that’s not including his company stock and options. And his FedEx shares of 0.037%, are worth roughly $23.97 million alone.

Hank ,

They pay huge sums out of their own pockets for qualifications and they have a complex job with high responsibility.

gmtom ,

arent most commercial pilots in the US ex-military?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

My Googling tells me-

Pilot pay at Federal Express ranges from $47,952.00 per year for a new first officer up to $199,800.00 per year for a senior captain.

aviationinterviews.com/…/federal-express-32.html

I wouldn’t say you’re living large on less than $50k a year.

STUPIDVIPGUY ,

50k entry level which quickly goes up in following years

and besides 50k is not that bad

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

50k is not that bad where? Because between rent, insurance, gas and food, you’re not going to have much left at the end of the month.

einlander , in Twitter removed half its HQ sign — then the police arrived

They haven’t paid rent, why would the building owner even let them modify anything on the building?
