  • candyman337 candyman337 9 months ago 100%

    Race is related to ethnicity but also relates to a lot of cultural factors. Race is also tied to people's perception of a person, and also tied to an individual's identity. There are more and different races than ethnicities.

    Additionally, race is linked to discrimination. Two people can be the same ethnicity but different races, because their culture and ancestral nationality are different. This often leads to people of a certain race being seen as lesser than, even though there is no biological difference. I.e. the Irish, and Italians, who are considered white now but weren't in the past.

    On top of that, people of different ethnicities can be lumped into a singular race and be discriminated against. Like Hispanic people, who have native American, Spanish, and many other ethnicities mixed in. Or Asians who have probably the most varied amount of ethnicities in their singular "race."

    Conversely you can have someone who is mixed and is technically mostly genetically ethnicities that are considered white, and would be white passing, but because they are known to have a black parent or grew up in the black community, they are considered to be a person if color, and are discriminated against in the same way as someone who is more ethnically a POC.

    This discrimination and racism can cause generational trauma and wealth disparity. Which is important to learn about so people can understand how systems, at least in the U.S., are literally built in a way that makes traditionally discriminated against races more likely to be born into poverty and less likely to get out of it. CRT strives to educate the our population on these issues.

    CRT teaches about the fact that Black people and other POC in the United States have been discriminated against for generations, this discrimination is/was codified in law and local ordinances. Like laws limiting POC from getting certain loans, or moving into certain neighborhoods. Then building roads around those neighborhoods separating them from the rest of the town, making it harder for those individuals to get resources. Or the fact that, in the U.S.,public schools are funded by housing taxes in an area rather than by equal funding. Meaning that low income areas (usually populated by minorities because of the previously mentioned reasons) will inherently have less funding.

    All this leads to the fact that even though a lot of the racist legislation in the U.S. is gone, a lot of minorities in the U.S. have been lower income for generations. Meaning a lot of them are starting from less and will have less opportunity to achieve because the just don't have the same resources and education available. And today, because of all this, we are seeing things like schools being more segregated than ever, even more than they were even in times where segregation was in law.

    If our population is not educated on these topics, these things will never change. These people will never get the help they need. This is why CRT in a lot of experts opinions is sorely needed in the American education curriculum.

    I personally find the subs a little weird, but they have rules explicitly stating that no one is to be under 18, and as others have said it's all clearly professionally taken watermarked photos.

    Also, If the initial picture in question was a verified adult that posted themselves voluntarily this all seems like a a huge overreaction.

    IMO it's pretty clear the lemmynsfw mods are doing a lot to remove any actual cp, they banned loli and Shota and other types of content to avoid any type of legal or cp issues.

    I find that the cadence of your words matters very much with Google. Like the words matter, but your pitch and tone matter too. I had to retain my model because it wouldn't go off when I'd yell ok Google at it, but it would go off when I'd say "ok cool" in convo. Now I have to say it with a specific inflection for it to recognize what I said. When I say it with the right inflection I'd say it works 80+ percent of the time

    I swear, google's quality control on the pixels is just bad. I had a Pixel 5a, when I got it, the phone was a year old. Out of the box it was slow, I tried so many things to get it working correctly and it just never did. Then 7 months in it just died.

    After a ton of back and forth with support and them trying to tell me I had water damage when I didn't, I finally got another Pixel 5a. That one works super well in comparison. I didn't use it much because I was so fed up with the whole debacle with Google that I switched to an Asus Zenfone 9. But the little I did use it, it was faster than the other 5a ever was.

    My first pixel 5a almost never picked up my "ok Google"s whereas my Asus Zenfone 9 works while it's playing music full volume, or while I'm playing music in the car, and a ton of other situations where my pixel and my galaxy s9 I had before never did. It's so odd.

    That being said, the Zenfone is way worse at shazaming things for some reason. I definitely think it's not only a per phone model basis but also a per singular phone basis thing.

    Really love the overall climate of lemmy so far

    People say it feels like old reddit and it does to a degree, but in other ways it feels better! People are so interested in finding alternatives to the systems that we hate, and actually are passionate about supporting those things and developing them into useable and enjoyable platforms. People are interested in spreading the word about the importance of unions and the climate crisis. Idk if those posts just get squashed on reddit, but I've seen SO much more talk of workers rights and informing others about them. It just gives me hope about the future for once. Like things are happening that are different, and I know that we can't be silenced here. This is a platform by the people, for the people, and that can't ever be fully taken away.
