Not sure what but there's something to it, which becomes evident when attempting to convey that "all this" isn't synonymous with "the totality of each and every thing" to a bunch of quants. I've also wondered if the hemispheres and their relationship might be the cause/source (depending on one's metaphysics) of the religious experience.

AFAIK hemispheric theories about the brain have fallen out of favor because the evidence doesn't really point in that direction.

Strange times, just saw an ad that was promoting restaurant patronage/discounts based on race, and it was not by white supremacists.

We use Uber eats a lot and they are offering a discount if you order from black owned businesses, that presumably they are making up the differences themselves.

One of the Reddit founders resigned his board spot and says he expects a black persons to take his seat. Reddit sent me a message they supported his decision and wishes.

Seems there might be a lot of quasi legal stuff like this moving forward.

I'm not sure. It's publicity, and I'm betting they don't think a white owner wants to sue and get the public backlash.... Hispanics get hurt by this.

Dara Khosrowshahi has a habit of exploiting this stuff.

Ok, fine. I'll seriously reconsider your offer.

If it IS legal, then free delivery to (only) white-owned businesses would also have to be legal, I would think.

How do you prove the owner is black? Is it part of the DBA?

I would probably be more aggressive at Limiting Contentless personal attacks and moving derails into new threads, but otherwise I would probably be less restrictive than WN as far as actual approved content.

It's not racist. It's discrimination, and it hurts non-black minorities, if you need an SJW reason to see how bad it is, while the rest of us wonder how it's not an EO issue.

President Obama is half white and half black. Would he get free delivery or just a 50% discount?

I know non-black minority issues are at the top of your list from all your previous posts on the subject. Oh, wait.

Limiting personal attacks would have the practical effect of chasing out most of the lefties.

That would be boring.

I believe you and know the gist of the content you would approve that is currently not explicitly allowed.
