The new hiring guidelines demand that we ask each candidate if they would like to meet with “minoritized faculty.”
You get it, right? Minoritized means somebody did it to them. We aren’t allowed to hire. The whole point of a two-hour training on the new hiring guidelines is to guilt-trip minoritizers for minoritizing the poor minoritized.
It never ends.
Because of getting married I gave up my habit of eating masses of raw onion and garlic.
Everything else was a win.
People aren’t doing marriage right if it’s such a challenging burden. It’s supposed to be fun, enjoyable, sexy. Having a partner in life should definitely make it easier. Emotionally, financially, and in every way. Marriage is a lifelong dialogue that often requires no words. To know that if things get tough, there’s somebody who will step in and carry your load without you having to ask really helps.
How was she “groomed” if she was 22? Is there any cutoff age for being groomed? Are you still groomed at 40? 50?
University of Toronto is looking for a mature scholar in a field they invented two minutes ago:
They do it all the time. Every year I wait for the hiring cycle to see what new fad UofT us embracing this year.
Back in the USSR, we had a living room curtain that cost 1,000 roubles. That was what my father made in 9 months before taxes. There are other Soviet people on the blog, and they’ll confirm that it was an insane amount to pay for a curtain. We lived on the first floor, and this ugly-ass expensive bitch was completely transparent. And window shades were not an existing concept.
At the same time, we were so poor that I would spend the whole day in my school uniform because there was nothing to change into. My shoes were always 2-3 sizes too small, and I still remember how much it hurt. Still, it could have been worse. My little cousin (a boy), the only son of a math teacher and a dentist, had to wear hand-me-down underwear from his female cousins, the poor dude. Imagine changing for phys ed with other boys while sporting pink panties with butterflies. Ain’t socialism great?*
In any case, my point is that poor people have the strangest priorities, and you won’t understand unless you’ve experienced it.
*The cousin is now a trader in the Cayman Islands and making a packet. IQ is decisive unless you are held back by socialism.
I’m not looking forward to Trump meeting “Putin” in Alaska because I don’t want the president of my country to be publicly mocked by a stand-in for a two-bit pedo loser. Trump doesn’t remotely understand what he’s dealing with and will get publicly shat on.
Remember when Tucker Carlson interviewed Putin? It’s not humanly possible to be kinder and more subservient than Tucker was in that interview. What he did was the equivalent of when a dog turns on his back and waves his paws in the air. And Putin responded to that by mocking Carlson for having applied to and being rejected by the CIA.
Because that’s the whole point. Humiliating Americans is the big prize for Putin’s only audience, which is the Russian people.
We need healthy Humanities like never before. We need the kind of Humanities that haven’t pissed away all credibility on nutty causes and can explain about cultural differences in a way that people would listen.
We have many serious domestic issues. We need a president who concentrates on them instead of trudging to Alaska to get humiliated for zero gain.
Yes, medical schools have retained their non-ideological purity. It’s not like they have advocated for child mutilation and regaled us with the idea that infectious diseases don’t spread during ideologically acceptable large gatherings.
Sciences have also remained unaffected and haven’t decolonized math and argued that it’s racist to say that 2+2=4.
And engineering didn’t fight tooth and claw to retain its numerous “women in Engineering” and “POC in Engineering” scholarships and awards.
There are 42m Americans on EBT.
That equates to 12.3% of the population.
EBT is such a popular program because ‘free’ lobster, steak, energy drinks, and candy, are very attractive offers.
If we did away with EBT and set up food centers that only handed out necessities like rice, corn flakes, milk, and ground beef, there would be a line of only 8 people.
Cornflakes are not necessities. They are absolute garbage. People who are this preachy should be a bit more careful with what they say.
If you think I spend too much time saying how much I hate Mexican food, do you understand how many wonderful, kind, generous Mexican people surround me and always try very sweetly and generously to treat me to their food?
These days I have a great excuse because of my diabetes, which I probably developed on purpose never to have to deal with the invention of the malignant spirit called tamales.
Notice that I say nothing bad about Chinese food because I don’t know any Chinese people and haven’t spent years pretending to like their food out of kindness.
To be honest, my only experience with food masking as Chinese was last week when I was forced to go to Panda Express and have broccoli beef. It was indescribably better than anything Mexican I ever tried and very kind to my blood sugars.
Yes, I know it’s not real Chinese food. But whatever it was, I’d rather have that than anything Mexican.
I love Mexican literature, and I adore Mexican slang, and I deeply appreciate Mexican soaps.
After this disclaimer, I absolutely insist that the only edible version of Mexican food is made by very white people with no relationship to Mexico.
The only thing worse than Mexican food is Central American food. I have a deep suspicion that people who flee the region are escaping the food.
South American food, on the other hand, is almost always amazing.
As for the woman in the video, is she herself Chinese or did the plastic surgeon perform the equivalent of Mexican food on her?
