25 years ago DEI was called "Affirmative Action" and was mandated by the government through the EEOC. I was manager of an engineering department at a small manufacturer. We needed to hire another engineer. I interviewed about 20 people and picked the best one. However my boss made me hire a different person because it would fulfill our EEOC requirements. So the guy who was more qualified got totally discriminated against. And the person we hired purely for their skin color was a terrible engineer so the rest of my department had to carry his weight. Overall the whole thing was a detriment to the company because the guy was collecting a salary for basically making mistakes and causing other people to have to fix those mistakes and check his work constantly. Now multiply that one little scenario millions of times over the past 25 years across the country.

As an Asian, I applied to a big ten school and had a 3.7 gpa, varsity athlete from freshman year through the whole thing, editor of the school newspaper, had over time and a half of the required volunteer hours, plus several other clubs. I didn’t get into my school of choice that I was very qualified for. I called up admissions and I asked what the criteria was because I knew a classmate who was of Hispanic descent who got in with F’s on his report card, no clubs, and barely a 3.0 gpa. The admissions office right there and then explained to me affirmative action and I could not believe it. It ruined college for me because I went from being this highly motivated student wanting to go to a top tier school that ended up at a lower tier college with no motivation at all.

[@_EvilKam]

In a recent discussion a friend was looking for a good definition, and turned to me with the questions "What counts as woke and why is it bad?". After pondering, I constructed the following answers. I don't think it's perfect yet, but it's close to the perfect answer. Woke: Belief system composed of multiple parts: a) advocating diversity over quality/capability b) relentless protection of an individual's feelings, even if it requires suppressing facts c) strong dislike for any conservative or traditional ideas justified strictly by emotion with no regard to facts. d) a push to achieve equal outcomes for all parties, regardless of work effort. And it's bad because a) skilled employees will be eliminated, and their jobs handed to unqualified "diversity hires". b) suppressing the truth actively damages society, and not all feelings are valid or justified. c) Just because an idea is traditional or conservative doesn't mean it's bad and must be destroyed. d) Life isn't fair, no two humans are equal, and everyone has different aptitudes. Pretending that life should be fair creates unrealistic expectations and spoils people.

Maybe if trump was doing females can't play sports, children get indoctrinated with christian idealogy (which is believe is a good thing depending on how you do it but fair enough if you don't want it), brings back DEI but in favor of white males etc but right now he is just neutralising wokeness and nothing else.

Grade inflation has skyrocketed so much in America that a 90% today is probably worth the amount of effort it took to get a 70% 40 years ago.

The situation has reached a stage where sophomores are outright expected to be taking 3 or more advanced placement classes just to be considered by college admissions officers. College isn't much better itself. I've peer reviewed papers that were written poorly enough to have been concocted by a man in central Afghanistan who had never seen a Latin character in his life, yet all of them were written by American college students. The kicker of it all was when despite all of their flaws, I'd see them the very next quarter, happy as ever that they were passed with some outrageously high score. Older generations would state that "Cs get degrees," while I pay respects every time I hear someone claim to be scoring anything below a 95 percent, as they've already failed to understand the material by that point.

His point about fentanyl is that you're not going to OD if you're not into opiates. Which is correct. The bigger issue for the average person is being affected by an opiate addict.

[@sarzootashoota351]

LMAO A PERC IS A LIGHTWEIGHT DRUG 😂 What are you TALKING about. All those drugs are hard drugs. You can't put fent on an acid tab and no one is putting fent in weed or mushrooms. All uppers and downers are hard drugs and not considered lightweight. If you are taking a drug that could be laced with fentanyl you are already taking a hard drug😂

Many schools advertise equality, example: 85% minimum score to apply for X program. However, behind the scenes they have quotas, and sure 85% is the cut off for everyone... unless they fail to meet their quota for a race or gender, then lower standards can get in. Thanks to the push for women in STEM, for the past 15 years or so, if you are a man applying to engineering, 85% minimum was a joke.. because if 5,000 other guys applied to a program with only 500 seats, and 200 of those seats were for men.. you actually probably needed 95-100% grades to get chosen. Then for women there were 200 seats, and if only 900 women applied, you probably needed 85-90% to get in. Then for the remaining 100 seats if they were for visible minorities, and only 90 people applied... everyone got in, you didn't even need to meet the minimum standard. You can walk and chew bubble gum? you're in. In a meritocracy all 500 seats should have been given out to whoever scored highest. And if 5990 people applied, the top 500 should be chosen. And if that meant 480 guys with the top academic scores got in, so be it. That is how meritocracy works.

[@notsafefortorque9060]

I would bet huge money on that woman, that apply to STEM are on average smarter and have better grades then male students. Many man just want to get into STEM because their dad did it or because it fits thair world view that man must become engineers. Woman that want to go into STEM are probably way more likely to acually back it up in grades in math and physics.

[@AspienWaifu]

The fact that that one chatter thought Asmongold was being disingenuous about a doctor probably not knowing where to point out a country on a map, tells me they’ve never interacted with a doctor beyond their own 10 minute checkup once every year or two, and they’ve never seen a doctor’s dictation of notes and handwriting 😂

The narcan at CVS isn’t about people thinking they’ll randomly overdose, you couldn’t even give it to yourself if you were, it’s if you see someone else whether on the street or a family member. I’ve personally seen it in Boston and didn’t have one on me, ambulance came and took care of her but it’s very much a regular thing in many areas and you could save a life having it on hand Definitely most of those overdoses are people deliberately doing opioids that much is true, and I think that number only counts deaths not the many more people saved by narcan but changes nothing that it’s good to have on hand

His take on fentanyl ODs is incorrect. Deaths and hospitalizations are different. I don't even live in a metro area and we got people dying every day because of it, let alone being hospitalized. It's one thing to say it's not normal, it's another to say it's delusional for narcan to be available at pharmacies. Some people need it, and it saves lives.

[@Pillowcasethegreat]

He was specifically referring to accidental fentanyl deaths

[@nep3nthe773]

Yeah, Asmon knows nothing about substances so just disregard his takes when this subject comes up. And non-users aren’t buying narcan out of the fear that THEY will randomly od, they buy it in case someone they know or come across in the street is od’ing. Asmon needs to leave his ivory tower of mold and realize he’s not an expert on any subject that comes across his path randomly

[@XxDeathxX509]

@@Pillowcasethegreatno he wasn’t lol. His first take on the subject is that “nobody dies from fentanyl” and even if he didn’t mean that people still have accidental ODs from smaller drugs that supposedly didn’t have a big effect. Fentanyl can easily affect someone just by touching it, not even ingesting it, they’re the stuff used to tranque elephants. And the cartels are sneaking it into the country and stuffing it inside of drugs, not just harmful ones but PHARMACY drugs. Asmon has good and bad takes but when he has bad takes..boy are they fkin terrible. I can’t fathom how someone can be this stupid and think he’s this smart. Because saying nobody dies from it when the google post HE looked up specifically says 200 people die from it everyday is ridiculous

​@@nep3nthe773 he's seemingly not an Expert at anything 😂

[@ryanmcguire9951]

Here's some problems with his logic though. Fentanyl doesn't respond to Narcan. Every other synthetic opiate, or opiate does though.. that adds to the fear, as well as just having to touch it, because the patches(not the pills) are trans-dermal. Meaning they seep into the skin. But, just touching it for a second won't kill you, you may get a little high, but, you'd have to leave it on you for a while for it to kill you.
