How to be less racist/bigotred?

So I am a part of the LGBTQ community and work in a big city in middle europe. A lot of my coworkers are religios and have a foreign background. They are mostly very nationalist and homo-/transphobic. I hate them for their blind hate and bigotry, which wont change. I have realised, that I have become a bit bigotred towards...

Galluf ,

It is a paradox because there’s no objective, universal definition of tolerance. It’s literally impossible to be tolerant of everything. So you’re left with different forms of what intolerance people deem acceptable.

People make the same mistake about bigotry. It’s impossible not to be a bigot. You just don’t want to be the wrong kind of bigot. Now if only we could all agree on exactly what that was.

Take a look at how the median income in America compares to your country.

Galluf ,

It’s a bit too positive to encompass all that is elitism.

No, not directly. You’d have to divert it and only irradiate it for short periods of time (30 days rather than the 18 to 24 month cycles that current plants have).

Proliferation isn’t a significant concern for reprocessing within the US. It’s primarily a concern for other non nuclear weapons countries that start it because they can then create nuclear weapons.

The US has no need to do that. They have more plutonium than they need for current weapons and it has a half life in the hundreds of thousands of years so it will last forever.

Galluf ,

That’s just flat out wrong. Reprocessing is significantly more expensive at current uranium prices.

And so many states would throw up tons of roadblocks for reactors shipping their used fuel offsite to a central reprocessing facility.

Galluf ,

Where are you getting that? This says 15 Mbps.

I’m sure you’re going to have a worse or slower experience particularly when scrubbing, but it should be just adequate.

Galluf ,

The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that’s far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.

But then you’re looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).

The issue is energy density. There’s a reason why boat tanks are ~6 times larger than a cars gas tank. That’s why they’re so expensive (plus batteries are much heavier).

Galluf ,

The Bolt EV or the Leaf are just that.

Just be aware that it’s not finished and there’s a good chance it never will be.

I enjoyed the lightbringer series by Brent Weeks which matches your criteria.

Galluf ,

That novella is a different version of one release 9 years ago. That represents the entirety of what he’s written in the last decade.

I’d say your 10% is optimistic. It’s been long enough that even if he does release it, I’d place the chances of it living up to the quality of the first 2 and giving a satisfying ending as low.

Galluf ,

There’s been zero evidence of any updates. Even his editor claimed she hadn’t seen a single word of the book a couple years ago.

Galluf ,

Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?

You analogy might be relevant if the DA knew the person was innocent and intentionally framed them and/or continued to prosecute. But it’s not remotely the same to have done so and been mistaken.

Galluf ,

The difference is that we don’t give the death penalty to somebody who accidentally does something wrong. And we especially don’t do that in such a deliberate drawn out process.

Galluf ,

I’m not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent. It could be that they made mistakes and we’re careless and that was a part of what led them to being falsely convicted.

Literally zero incentive is an extremely high bar and certainly incorrect.

I understand wanting to ensure there’s a better incentive than currently exists, but giving them the death penalty for false death penalties is just a roundabout way of stopping the death penalty. So you may as well just do that directly.

Galluf ,

What I mean is that take a situation where someone was convicted of murder, but the reality is that was a false conviction and they were only guilty of manslaughter.

I shouldn’t have used the “innocent person” phrasing because that’s too low resolution for this discussion. You can’t always neatly put a person into innocent/guilty categories.

Galluf ,

Nah, if Google maps says it takes 10 hours, then it takes 10 hours with stops unless you’re in the bottom 10% of traffic (such as if you’re a truck towing a trailer).

If you’re like most people going 5 to 10 mph over, then you’ll beat Google maps time by about 15 minutes per 2 hours of drive time without stopping.

Galluf ,

It seems you didn’t read the article at all.

Galluf ,

You obviously didn’t read the article as creating more stable schedules is exactly what they’re doing.

Is it enough, probably not. But let’s not make up lies.

Galluf ,

Not on my phone it’s not.

What’s your basis for saying that they don’t have paid leave?

Galluf ,

5 guys is better, but also more than twice the price.

In N out isn’t the best, but they’re the best for their price.

What aspects are handicapped in chromium?

So it looks like most users aren’t seeing a handicap yet, but may start to see one in January if that block list size cap/updating the list is an issue.

Unless there’s extenuating circumstances, you’ve failed if your 3 year old can’t reliably communicate the need to go to the bathroom. I’m not saying they get things perfect, but the vast majority of 3 year olds can tell you when they need to go to the bathroom.

Even at age 2 it’s quite common.

This was exactly the problem that Charles Murray pointed out in the bell curve. We’re rapidly increasing the complexity of the available jobs (and the successful people can output 1000-1,000,000 times more than simple labor in the world of computers). It’s the same concept as the industrial revolution, but to a greater degree.

The problem is that we’re taking away the vast majority of the simple jobs. Even working at a fast food place isn’t simple.

That alienates a good chunk of the population from being able to perform useful work.

Galluf ,

If it were full of shit, then you wouldn’t be discussing the exact he pointed out in this book.

There is some racist discussion in there, but that’s secondary and doesn’t detract or impact his main point about what increasingly complex labor does to a society.

Galluf ,

It’s more that do far I haven’t seen anything wrong with the browser itself.

That article you’re talking about isn’t about brave as a browser. It was a out the brave search engine.

Galluf ,

You mean the post about the brave search engine?

Galluf ,

Yes, exactly my point. That’s only about the search engine not the browser.

Galluf ,

And even within imax, there’s differing qualities of the projector. It’s all quite complicated and seems to be intentionally obfuscated.

Galluf ,

I disagree with that analogy. There’s a very noticable difference between how the cars goes (and sounds) among those fuel types. They may all get you to your destination, but the experience is moderately different.

And maybe that actually makes it a good analogy. I’m not really sure.

Galluf ,

I’m not convinced of this. It could also be that it’s also that unfathomably likely to like to develop and evolve.

Galluf ,

I’m not following why you think that’s in contrast with what I’ve said. I agree that simple life being everywhere is more likely than complex being anywhere.

It seems to me that simple life being anywhere could be unlikely enough.

Galluf ,

Talking about surface temperature is pretty misleading.

Galluf ,

Nope, not at all. You completely misunderstood my point.

I’m not saying the ground suddenly got hotter and everything else stayed the same. In this case, it’s just a metric that’s quoted because it has a misleading high value especially by people who are just scrolling through.

It’s click bait.

Galluf ,

Yep. Unless you’re trying to cook eggs on the ground, then you can start letting people know when it finally gets hot enough to do that.

Galluf ,

It’s not fine if it’s what’s used in the title. It’s fine to include it as part of the post, but only including the surface temp in the title is misleading.

Galluf ,

On my experience, 90% of the time there’s more to the story than what people claim to be banned for. I’m not saying that 100% of that 90% of the time necessarily justifies the ban. But it usually changes the context significantly.

Galluf ,

Thank you for being honest enough to admit your title is a lie.

Next time be honest from the beginning and don’t lie in your title.

Galluf ,

I’d consider it a lie to say you were supposedly banned for violating a rule when you yourself acknowledged that you know that’s not the reason you were banned.

You could have included a qualifier such as supposedly or ostensibly and then explained the full context up front.

Galluf ,

My advice is don’t hesitate to just read the wiki/cliff notes on the chapters if things start dragging on for you. It’s worth finishing, but some of the middle books have so little that happens.

Galluf ,

Not at all. It’s the exact opposite.

I want other kids to be able to have similar experiences with working and earning money.

Galluf ,

Thank you for your acknowledgement that you’re unwilling to look at this situation with the level of nuance required.

Galluf ,

What do you mean by this?

Don't follow the manual, follow what I say!

I used to work the evening/night shift at a coffee shop chain. That time of night in inherently slow, so we would get saddled with the general upkeep of the equipment. Nothing too high tech, just simple disassemble, clean, re-assemble (coffee grounds get into EVERYTHING). I took a shining to the task because I’m fairly handy...

Galluf ,

I wouldn’t say that at all. Chernobyl was so much worse than this. It wasn’t a single first line supervisor who asked one worker to do something who said no at first.

They’d asked multiple nuclear plants to perform that test. Been told that it was not safe to perform multiple times. They finally got an upper management individual at one plant to agree to it. Then they had challenges completing the test and due to plant characteristics that were not apparent to the operators (as well as violating other procedures) the event occurred.

The premise of chernobyl is a series of systemic failures of barriers. Not an addition of a single step not specified in a maintenence procedure.
