We at least should let him serve out 3/5 of his term.

and also establish another governor's office. one for him and one for justin fairfax. they'll have equal power, they'll just be separate.

at some point i think we are going to have to come to accept that racism and sexual harassment was just accepted 20+ years ago. much like how "human being" was pretty widely used in the early 2000s.

i don't know how we move on from that other than stop electing old people, but some old white men doing some racist and/or sexist poo poo in the 1980s is one of the least surprising thing i can think of in 2019.

e: i'm not suggesting we just let it go. i don't know what the solution is. i just don't think anyone should be surprised when stories pop up like this. i think it was just normal for stuff like this to take place.

Polarized eyewear is against regulation though so it’s the perfect weapon unless soldiers want extra duty for 45 days.

Speaking of imposter syndrome, I’m in grad school right now and it’s really weird dealing with really intelligent kids (I’m 5 years older than the next oldest person and 10 from my class average). They all have really bad imposter syndrome and are afraid to answer even the most basic questions in a group session or class.

Meanwhile my epitome of Dunning-Kruger self will blurt our poo poo regardless of the situation or if I have any understanding of the subject matter. I’ve had multiple students come up to me asking me how I’m able to not be afraid to speak up. I’ve taken to replying I’m an idiot incapable of basic emotions like fear or embarrassment.

Tell them that the way they judge you for speaking up is the way people will judge them for speaking up and that also it doesn’t matter because in the near future they won’t see any of these people again anyway.

Prison is not a good deterrent. But also having to check a box saying you’ve been convicted of a felony when you try to get a job doesn’t help much either.

When did prison stop being a deterrent? I have some amount of education in this and I'm going to need to see some works cited on that outrageous claim.

I'm suspecting this is somehow a result of the internet echo chamber taking the findings that the death penalty is not more of a deterrent than life in prison and running with it to completely unsupported places.

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_9542312

quote:

Using a Bureau of Justice Statistic study finding inmates released from state prisons have a five-year recidivism rate of 76.6%, the USSC study calculated comparable federal prisoners released have a 44.7% re-arrest rate after five years.

I’d say that’s pretty damning evidence against prison being effective.
