But white folks with black adopted children?

I know a pair of adults with Nigerian heritage who were adopted by white parents. I don’t know how much it happens. There are a lot of mixed race children and adults around.

It’s not actually that rare in the US either. A study looking at US adoptions between 2005 a…[Read more]

There is no such thing as “reverse discrimination”. There is discrimination.

Can anyone please correct me or bring objectivity to my point of view here?

What objectivity can be had?

Calhoun has a video on his YouTube page called ‘Happy Pride Month’. It’s basically an ad for t-shirts. Objectively, there are few overt statements. The fact that one of his shirts depict an American flag and say ‘The Only…[Read more]

It’s meh. Musically, I can see why people would be into the song. It’s high energy, it flows, it’s bound to get people amped up, parts of it are easy to sing along to.

In terms of commentary on race, it’s largely sophomoric. They want to feel unapologetic for being white rednecks. There’s a bunch of insipid gangster shit (we got guns and we fight…[Read more]

Again, wearables serve a different function to time pieces despite the fact that they also function as watches. I get it’s called the Apple Watch, so it would make it seem like that is the primary distinguishing feature is how it functions as a watch, but it’s not really. The issue with Apple is they’ve been good at making themselves a status…[Read more]

Autumn, I saw a birthday card with a cat and a cake and the cat was saying: “Yeah, I’m into Fitbit…Imma fit every bit of this cake right into my mouth!😹😁😉 Much obliged on your evaluation of Fitbit from personal experience.

Most of these devices overstate their capabilities. For me, the main thing is that it is fairl…[Read more]

If I had the money for statement pieces, I’d be happy to invest in a quality watch, but even at the entry level that’s hundreds of dollars I don’t have to spend. I have a jewelry watch from Bulova that fits my needs, and a Citizen Eco-Drive Axiom that I had bought as a watch for daily wear (though it needs a new strap). There is nothing super…[Read more]

Pericarditis was also mentioned in the video in the OP.

One of the notable lines from the article:

And in that highest risk group, the myocarditis risk after the second dose, which is the highest, is 35.9 per 100,000 people. In comparison, the risk post-infection in that same group is 64.9 per 100,000.

And if I had to guess, this info would be o…[Read more]

In response to the general question but in the specific case of fast-tracked Phase One vaccine trials, the general answer is “a lot“. “Light speed” is a useful cliche in this case insofar as how fast these vaccines were rushed out during the deadly pandemic, but technologies (like mRNA as a therapeutic tool, or to provoke…
