I've calculated over $40k so far. Over 20 macbooks, multiple surface pros, gift cards, who knows what else.

This is well into the 6 figures now. Over $200k and counting. The story has become even more sordid, but I can't share any more details here because I'm absolutely sure I will be involved in the trial. One day I will share, but for now I apologize for not being able to keep you updated^TM

How in the hell did that happen?

are you seriously suggesting that there's a 'pubescence' for racism?

my god, man, you really need to up your scientific reading a bit.

i'm not denying that people can't develop racist views when they mature out of age 4. but that's precisely my argument: that it's created by material factors, by environment, by socialization and society at large. these things are contingent and subject to change. different cultures have different ideas on this very topic.

why you need to make everything into some 'essential', timeless, instinctual thing is beyond me. it's a silly attempt at scientific credibility and a way of avoiding taking responsibility for your toxic attitudes, tbh.

Its still strange that defending your own culture is 'bad mmkay

where have i ever said this? i take a lot of pride in my culture. i don't know if you noticed, but i spent my entire formal education studying it and being very interested in it. such education would have you know that there's more to british or european culture than your silly and rather vague fascistic imaginings.i'm frustrated at times with my home country and think there are things it can do to improve. britain would do well to get over the imperial nostalgia phase which is evidently doing it so much harm now with the patriotic, boorish, brexit stuff. that's all gone and we should get in tune with a new present.

but that's all by the by. the way you make out people who are 'anti-racist', as if that's such a bad thing, to be destroyers of their own culture is just inane. what if i told you ... it's possible to be proud of a country that's inclusive and kind to refugees? make u think mate.

People like uziq should be grateful for white western cultural arrogance and the aggression to defend it, otherwise he'd be a muslim by now and having a fairly miserable time, or living under the Stalinist or Maoist yoke.

so dumb as to almost be beneath comment.

i love it when lunks like you, who never joined the military and has nary been 'aggressive' to another human in his life, for fear of getting bonked on the nose, comes out with this 'defending white civilization' tripe. especially when you invoke those big scary totalitarian ideologies from abroad!

the soldiers who died fighting that stuff were fighting for democracy, not your weird, sexless, ingrown fantasies of ethno-states and 'white supremacy'. i don't know if you noticed that in all your Nazi reading list.

The kindergateners argument is a stupid one. A lot of human and animal instinct doesn't become apparent until maturity.
Are kindergarteners interested in sex? Well clearly interest in sex is an unnatural learned behaviour and must be educated out of people.

That racism and sexism have disappeared is not my observation, even from the upper middle class (I imagine a good chunk of 9-11 calls about black men or teens jogging down the street come from wealthy neighborhoods). It's just less socially acceptable these days to come right out and say the racist stuff on your mind.

Exactly, nothing at all has changed, its just people are less overt about it.

Racism/tribalism/cultural supremacy is innate behaviour, if it weren't we wouldn't have separate cultures fighting for supremacy, either they would never have existed or they'd have all died and merged by now.

Its still strange that defending your own culture is 'bad mmkay and you're a racist' while at the same time allowing other inferior cultures which are far more racist and intolerant to invade and impose their culture is 'right-on multiculturalism'.

Strange also that people fleeing their failed intolerant cultures don't ditch them at the border.

I am sympathetic to arguments about the importance of culture. Socializing dysfunctional people is what I do. The state is paying me to acculturate kids. That said, the worldview isn't perfect. In practice a lot of racial minorities who did try to assimilate into mainstream white culture in the west were met with extreme violence and prohibition in just living memory. Things are very different today and getting better too though.

Yeah just tell us Ken

If it doesn't involve cocaine and hookers I'm going to be disappointed.

It involves one of those

Hm, I'm skeptical. Given the parental and rather personalized nature of policing a kid's social media, I'm not sure if this is a power that should be decided by a bunch of yahoos in some gerrymandered district.

What if a student's after-hours text gives a serial killer staff member insight on where to find their next isolated victim? What if a teacher feels morally obligated to correct a student's gayness and get a teen evicted from their home? What if the school nitpicks offenses like a gaggle of discord moderators (which opens a can factory of worms)? What if they play favoritism with when to look the other way, and select unfortunate students to constantly ride the asses of, like schools always do?

IMO, having a personalized school agent breathing down your neck 24/7 is practically psychological bullying in and of itself. Imagine going through childhood with that extra paranoia fuel. It's bad enough in some households without denying them the escape of free discourse. Some sweaty 50yo man with his willy out doesn't need to be monitoring a bunch of girls' texts as his nightly entertainment, nor does a teacher need to swipe a student's private phone at random to read their personal texts to the class.

I could easily see these schemes going bad. But if they're going to do it anyway, perhaps they could anonymize tracking and have an algorithm pick up on danger texts to forward for administrative action.

The first casualty has been laid to rest in this saga. One of the Accounts Payable people was pushed off the iceberg by the fatty penguins at corporate.

I think I am in the clear, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's another sacrifice to the corporate compliance gods.

Here's a protip: never put onlyfans charges onto a corporate credit card. It will result in numerous people cringing as the question, "what is onlyfans?" is answered in a corporate boardroom.

Are book rights possible?

Ha ha thats legendary.

You're really better off paying cash in person.

So grateful to be going back to work in about 2 weeks. I will have something to keep me busy so I am not spending all my time getting high. The Prots were right about work being good for you.

I think work is good for keeping some people balanced and busy. Get them out of the house and into a productive routine. I need that.
