I remember the board lecturer defending Lebrons defense of China on these boards...

I confused.

How did I defend LeBron's take on China. I basically called him a dumb jock on the issue. Please shed some light.

Excusing his dangerous rhetoric is defense... Averting your gaze is defense.

That's what I've been told for 4 years anyway

is what it is. feel free to throw another dictionary word at me

sure

what you have is a sort of paranoid personality disorder

but i'm not a psychiatrist, which is why it would be better for you to see one rather than rely on my evaluation

i didn't excuse his behavior...i said he had no particular insight or knowledge on the matter...where i come from that is a criticism not a defense

but by all means carry one

Yeah the guy who has gotten everything wrong and spends time scolding kids for standing and demanding people be locked in their home for a year is probably not someone I'm too worried about gaining the approval of

This rivalry strikes me as one of the more consequential ones out there.

I don't often root for Apple, but you go, take Facebook out, a company that literally provides nothing.

I'm still wondering how we got into a situation where companies can monetize my personal information without my giving them some sort of permission.

I mean you give them permission, it's buried in the T&C. Facebook literally provides nothing. I don't care that Google sells my information they give me my email. phone OS, web browser, search engine, free document creator/viewer/editor, the best navigation system I've ever used, etc. Facebook is garbage. It lets you network with people.

Highly volatile class I heard.

All ISIS classes have now been moved going forward to zoom calls just so things like this don't happen again.

No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher.

I hope India comes down hard on the leftist/CCP agitators.

We have to stop playing nice if we want to save the world.
