TNG 2x9: The Measure of a Man has been my favorite for many years.
The problem is that It’s a cop out, a ruse, a diversion, a disingenuous misrepresentation of what’s happening here. It’s a flat out straw man.
Casting taking down signs that say “everyone is welcome here” as strengthening our children is simply not an assertion based in reality. Yes, we need to be real with our children so they can be prepared for the real world but this scenario is not applicable to that argument.
I would argue that taking down these signs weakens our children by sending a message that being different is bad—the exact message racists and bigots have been pushing forever. It robs them of a little bit of their humanity and we should not be tolerant of this.
If you don’t see a problem with the sign being up then I’m not sure why you needed to offer a counterpoint that we’re “over sheltering” children. Taking the time to write out a rebuttal sure would seem to indicate that you think the signs coming down are a good thing.
I strongly disagree with you.
Aside from the fact that teaching children to be inclusive and accepting is the path to these things being normal in the future, “well you have to learn to be offended” is the shield of the bully. It’s what people who want to be assholes say to protect their assholery.
But you know what, if someone needs to learn to be offended then maybe it’s the bigots and bullies that need to learn that inclusive language is here to stay and to just deal with it.
Wut? ST is a cult classic.
You’re welcome! Good luck with your project, friend.
Immigrants in the country illegally, the theory goes, are subject to the jurisdiction of their native homeland.
Ok, if immigrants here illegally aren't subject to US jurisdiction, under whose authority are they being detained and deported?
It sounds like you need a design sprint; which fits fairly neatly into waterfall as an early step.
Google (even though I loathe suggesting anything google these days) has comprehensive documentation on how they do their two week design sprints; I have done them a few times and they do a damn fine job of helping you to find the work you need to do.
It depends on what your chief complaint is.
If there’s a good reason to deliver a project using a waterfall approach and the only complaint is that you don’t like waterfall, then I’d advise remembering that a core philosophy of the agile manifesto is “people over processes” and suggest being flexible.
If there’s a pragmatic argument to be made, then have that conversation and see if you can agree on a path forward.
Safari definitely gets more hate than it deserves. I find it to be perfectly acceptable.
I would prefer more competition though, even though I know today it’ll be a ton of “cram some AI into it” slop.
SCOTUS declaring full immunity for anything done as an official presidential act is probably why this term feels less hollow; last time around he had to be careful not to end up in prison, this time he has nothing to fear.
