How high are you OP?
How high are you OP?
A while back I applied with the USPS and got called in for an interview. It wasn’t a real interview, but more of a presentation on all the required next steps to be hired (there were at least 20 of us in the room). I ended up getting a different job before my start date, but if you were able to do all the steps by the deadline the job was yours.
That is the example that OP referred to in their question
Go for daily walks in nature.
Do yoga
Play a recreational sport that interests you
Read (I guess that’s still consumption)
Write
Volunteer for a cause you care about
Asking where you are from is pretty normal conversation, especially if you have a noticeable accent. Asking where your parents/grandparents/etc are from is less common. Are you by chance not-white? Sometimes these sorts of questions have a race element to them
I’m a big fan of the Kroger butter chicken sauce. It’s gotten pretty expensive so I don’t buy it as often as I used to, but I think it’s super tasty. I usually throw it together with some mixed frozen vegetables and rotisserie chicken served over rice. It basically takes as long to cook as it takes the rice cooker to finish the rice.
My 97 year old grandma spent Christmas in the hospital with COVID and congestive heart failure. I’m honestly shocked she isn’t a part of this statistic.
Absolutely, they are both a part of the problem. However the former likely won’t recognize they are a part of the problem because of the unconscious nature of their biases. So they won’t ignore the data because they don’t trust it, or whatever, but they won’t recognize how their actions contribute to it.
In the case of unconscious bias, they probably brush off the data because they don’t believe they are a part of the problem. It’s those other doctors who are overtly racist that are the problem…
Agreed.
I should not know her name. I should not know her intimate personal details.
She should have been able to mourn her loss in private with her loved ones. Not on the national stage as an example. She should not be at risk of prosecution because of this unfortunate situation.
if I did, I would have to be obliged and follow their cultures
This doesn’t seem true to be. There is no culture police who will come and enforce the way you live your life to follow the norms of your ethnic label(s).
I don’t have a culture
This is impossible. Everyone has a culture. You may not follow all the cultural norms or traditions of where you are from, but it is guaranteed that who you are was impacted by the culture you were raised in. There is no such thing as neutral, otherwise you are saying your personal culture would fit in everywhere in the world (Mexico, USA, Italy, Russia, Japan, Philippines, etc).
What do you think the term Latino means, and why don’t you want to identify as one?
FYI Central America is also in North America
My uncle was born on Feb 29. We both had our 16th birthdays the same year.
But they gave them 2 years worth of funds, so you would double the number.
This is roughly the equivalent of giving an American ~$42k. I think that amount of money would have a huge impact on people’s well being.
Note: I looked up Kenya’s per capital GDP which is ~$2k USD. Based on on the article stating they received $50 per month, than means the lump sum was 60% of the GDP. 60% of the US’s GDP per capita is ~$42k
It’s interesting, because this is a widely known concept in the finance world. Lump sum investing in the stock market is more profitable than dollar cost averaging that same amount over time ~66% of the time. It seems that holds true in non-stock market investments into people as well. They’re better off getting a lump sum investment into their accounts than having that money DCA’d to them.
Ehh…I think that’s a little different in that they needed a judge to determine who had the right to make medical decisions for her. The judge themselves weren’t making the call for what should be done, only if it was her husband or parents who had the right to make medical decisions.
This is more along the lines of my appendix is on the verge of bursting. I want it removed. My doctor recommends removal and is willing and able to do so. The govt says I don’t think it’s bad enough yet and if you do it now I will criminally charge you. Wait until it explodes and you are at risk for sepsis before I will allow you to undergo surgery, despite the fact I have zero medical experience.
Imagine having to get a judge to signoff on any other medical procedure, and it really highlights the absurdity.
…this feels a lot like the death panels a certain sect was screeching about back in 2008/2009
I no longer buy cereal because it has become way too expensive for the low nutritional/satiety value. Sorry, Kellogg, you’ll have to do better if you want to convince people to eat more cereal.
