No, that's a bruxish

Pointing out the existence of racism as a system of oppression isn't promoting race based fights and the fact that you think it is is so racist it borders on comedy.

"Hey, black people usually get harsher sentences than white people for the same crimes. We should, you know, stop doing that"

"Hmm, actually, it's the billionaires that are the problem so you should stop trying to pit people against each other based on their race"

Also, isn't Norway entire military basically designed to counter Russian invasions?

Edit: Nope. I was thinking of Finland and how they keep an absurdly massive military due to previous Russian occupation.

Racism is a very specific term meant to point out the existence of a system of oppression. Interpersonal racism exists exclusively as a symptom of systemic racism, since there's no societal system that oppresses white people, there's no racism against white people — of any kind. Reverse racism is racist rhetoric on the level of "all lives matter" meant to deny and trivialize racism. Imagine calling battered women shelters sexist because they don't allow men.

On my first job, there were several employees whose jobs was to aimlessly wander around the office because they had a problem with their logins when they were hired and nobody bothered to fix it for them. Companies really don't give a shit.

Racism is a systemic issue, you can't be racist against the oppressor.

Haven't watched TV in so long that when I invited friends over to watch the last Super Bowl, we had to scramble to find a streaming service that had it because I forgot TVs need an antenna to get the actual channels and we don't have one.

And that's a biased statistic. My recap shows I spent 1% of my time playing games released in 2024 when I know, for a fact, that I didn't. Upon further investigation, I found that it was counting my play time in Palworld as 1% even though it still shows as "0 minutes" because I literally only opened it to check that it worked.

Amazing! Or it would have been in an alternate timeline where the RX7600 and RTX4060 were just released. Over here in the real world, Intel is more than a year late to the party with a lackluster product. NVIDIA and AMD have new cards releasing in early 2025 and, given that the B580 is within 15% of last year's offerings in 1080p, it's probably about to be outclassed. I really hope its existence at least forces the other two to stop with the 8GB of VRAM insanity but unless you need to upgrade right now, you shouldn't care about this. So can we stop pretending it's a good product?

Times are different now, there's no more turning up in a ditch. If you start winning too often, they're gonna keep an eye on you and try to determine if you're cheating. If you're not, they're gonna ask you to leave and ban you from the casino before you can actually win anything significant — the justification given is that it's their casino and they can refuse entry to whoever they want. If you are cheating, then you're just going to jail.
