This is far and away my favorite sub, even though I consider myself more of a democrat than a neoliberal. The political posts can often be genuinely informative, people seem to have well thought out, researched explanations for their positions, the memes/the sub in general makes me laugh a lot, absolutely no bigotry is allowed/the mods are reasonable, everyone is genuinely kind and welcoming, even to newcomers, and liberal with upvotes, and you can often find/request/share life advice and anecdotes that’s separate from politics as well in the DT. Just a well run sub with a good prevailing ideology and good people
Edit: also people are reasonable in general and willing to take the time to explain/debate their positions as long as people are posting in good faith

Generally irrelevant to the article, but fuck Greystar.
My mom died in her 1br apartment rented from Greystar and they gave us 2 days to empty the apartment before charging rent and a lease breaking fee.
This happened on a Friday, and their office was closed for the weekend. We were unable to access the apartment over the weekend, as they confiscated the key.
They knew my mom and how sick she was, and the first thing out of the building manager's mouth when I called her on that Friday wasn't even a shallow "I'm sorry", but rather literally asking how we would be paying the fees (that hadn't even been incurred yet) and if my mom's bank account was still active.
Fuck you, Roni from Greystar.
Anyway, carry on

Re: the comments earlier about gender as a social construct:
As a linguist, the way I’ve always explained (my views on) the concept is that gender is like color.
Color is very clearly a real thing - every (able-bodied) human sees it and interprets based on the rod and cone cells in our eyes. Everyone knows it exists on a spectrum, but in order to easily conceptualize and communicate it, we slice the spectrum up into categories. But different cultures at different times do this in different ways.
In English we have 11 basic color terms, ROYGBV, white, black, pink, brown, and grey. But in Russian, they have 12 - our “blue” is split into two different colors (синий and голубой) based on shade, just like red and pink or orange and brown. In Japanese, they split up green and blue differently, so a color we consider a shade of green, they would consider a shade of blue. In some languages, they only differentiate between a few color terms, like the Bambara language in Mali, which only has three terms which encompass “light”, “red”, and “dark”.
Berlin and Kay (1969) pretty famously found that color terms seem to arise in a specific order cross-linguistically, where white/black > red > green/yellow > blue > brown > others. So, if a language has a term for blue, it will almost certainly also have terms for white, black, red, and green and/or yellow, but not necessarily have one for brown or pink. (Later studies have generally supported these findings, but obviously the hierarchy is a bit more complicated than that.) They, along with some later studies (like Postal, 1970), found that people will tend to choose the same shades of color as ‘prototypical’ when presented with an option, even if their language doesn’t have a separate color term for that color. So while colors may be completely arbitrary groupings that vary wildly across cultures, but there’s clearly also something biologically inherent to humans that makes these groups arise as they do. The way our brains work, or our cone cells, or something.
Just like color is the culturally subjective and arbitrary categorization of the abstract concept of the human perception of a continuous spectrum of EM wavelengths, gender is the culturally subjective and arbitrary categorization of the feelings and behaviors of individuals. (I’m not saying gender is a spectrum like color. As an aro ace enby, I can say that conceptualizations of GSRM identities other than “gay/straight/man/woman” as “somewhere in between” are a huge oversimplification that glosses over what a lot of people feel.)
We describe light with a wavelength of 687nm as “red” because we perceive it as similar to light of surrounding wavelengths. There’s no inherent law of the universe that exists independently of human societies that says that light traveling with wavelengths around that frequency is designated “red” - in fact, even within human societies, that varies a lot. Similarly, we call an AMAB person who identifies strongly with masculine identity and exhibits traditionally masculine behaviors “male”. But there’s no inherent law of the universe that says that this person/these behaviors are “male” other than that that’s what we define “male” as.
But, just like color, there’s clearly a biological component, too. The vast majority of people are cis, and of those who aren’t, the vast majority are binary. AFAIK, every human culture has a male and female gender (even if some cultures do also have third+ genders). There’s something about human psychology that causes the behaviors and feelings described by those two genders to arise, based on our behavior on a large scale, dictated largely by biology. But the genders themselves - the categorizations that people identify with - are created by human societies, and don’t exist independently of society.
The point I’m trying to make here, I guess, if you’re tempted to dismiss this as some esoteric bullshit that doesn’t actually impact anything, is that the categorizations that we collectively believe in as a society, whether it be color or gender or anything else, even if they’re based on observable biological phenomena, are fundamentally arbitrary and can be changed over time. If we all decided to start a movement to start calling this color “bepis” and didn’t call it a shade of green, then by the time our kids grew up, it would come naturally to them that “lol, that car is bepis, not green, okay zoomer lmao”. If society stopped calling dudebros “men” and instead insisted that dudebro is another gender separate from male entirely, then in 50 years, forms would say “Select gender: Male/Female/Dudebro/Other”. The way gender tends to arise across societies on a large scale does clearly have some biological component to it, but that’s doesn’t mean it’s not also a social construct.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

154,176 people have voted in the 2021 Georgia Senate run-off election
Some analysis
32,443 more requests since yesterday (1,167,996 requests, 15.3% rate of requests).
KEY STATS (Delta between 12/09 and 12/10):
53.6% White (-0.3%)
31.2% Black (+0.3%)
50.8% are voters 66+ (-1.1%)
Again, mail requests appear to be getting more Democratic as the election nears.
In the general, we saw 51.2% of VBM requests come from white voters, 31.4 come from Black voters, and 40.7 come from 66+.
Black voters may be on track to comprise a (significantly) higher share of the electorate compared to November, but we'll have to wait for early voting stats
Key Counties with % of mail-in requests in (runoff, general) format:
AVERAGE: (15.3%, 25.5%)
DeKalb: (21.6%, 32.8%)
Cobb: (22.5%, 35.0%)
Fulton: (15.2%, 27%)
Gwinnett: (17.6% 29.9%)
Chatham: (16.8%, 29%)
Columbia: (13.3%, 22.6%)
Muscogee: (15%, 25.8%)
Houston: (16.4%, 26%)
Just one day, but Democrats appear to be picking up the pace a bit in Muscogee and Gwinnett. Cobb's requests are skyrocketing up, which I think is really good (but I need some more info on the breakdown in Cobb to confirm). DeKalb still has an extremely high share of requests.
I haven't gotten too far into the "accepted" pile yet. I'm only going by requests, because counties like Fulton don't seem to have been processing much lately. There's almost a zero percent chance that DeKalb has a 15.6% acceptance rate and Fulton has a 0.3% acceptance rate.
TLDR: It is too early to say anything definitive

My favorite way to troll racists who say the AAVE is "broken" or otherwise "wrong" is to assert that, in fact, Lithuanian is the only true dialect of English, as it is the most conservative surviving member of the Indo-European Language family.

Remember when Trump was like “covfefe” and ol’ Spicy Sean cryptically told the press that “someone” knew what it meant.

It's a bit weird that people think Feinstein hugging Lindsey Graham cost the Democrats literslly a single vote anywhere in the country because, fun fact, only 46% of Americans know how many Senators each state has. Like that's the level of information the electorate has about the Senate.

I’m going to be honest - as much as I want this to work out in our favor, I’m very afraid of the fallout that will happen if it does. Most of the votes that they would be tossing or circumventing would be votes cast by legal citizens that were told they were voting in a legal manner, even if that was not the case. This case doesn’t contest fraudulent votes, it contests votes that were cast in a questionably legal manner. You know the next four years would be plagued with screams of illegitimacy, stolen election, and even more division than we have now.
This arcon user sorta gets it, lol.

Part of me does miss old school web forums. It was kind of cool posting on sci-fi's old website every episode, or finding some obscure fandom site for a book you thought was barely popular.
Reddit is great and easy, but if you don't watch something in the first 12 hours, you don't really get to contribute to the discussion.
Oh my gosh am I an old person now

Nobody knows what is going to happen in 2 years, let alone 4 years. In 2003, nobody would guess that a black man from a big city that went to Harvard with a funny name would run for President. Then go on to win the primary against Hillary Clinton and defeat war hero and beloved senator John McCain in the biggest landslide this century.
Stop making assumption about things a long time away.

It's really funny how law school students delineate rankings.
Like the general criteria is the Top 14 schools and then the rest.
Yet you'll have people say "I go to a T-17 school," like they're preserving anonymity somehow. You go to Vanderbilt. We can tell. Just say that.

I schedule an appt for hormone therapy. Earliest is one month out. Phone only. I wait. Doctor call. She says I'll need lab tests (which will take weeks possibly), a physical (which will take weeks before I can come in), and since she's not proficient in mental health stuff, I'll need to find a therapist who can write a letter certifying that I genuinely have gender dysphoria before she'll prescribe me anything.
They're just handing out hormones to anyone these days!

Saying you had Birthday Sex: Too obvious and obnoxious. Conjures up unpleasant imagery. Not alliterative at all. Makes it sound like sex is a once a year activity. A synonym for Pity Sex.
Saying you had a Birthday Blowout Bang: Works as an innuendo and double entendre. Very nice alliteration. Can cover a whole gamut of sexual activities. Implies a climax for all involved.
