I need fellow intellectuals to stop going back and forth with people online. Just let them have it.

Stupidity is a disease that has no cure.
Leave they ass where they’re at.

An important point getting overlooked:

When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies.

They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I like Innervisions better as it is short and sweat and every song packs an amazing punch.
3. Which is the better album - Songs in the Key of Life or Innervisions?

Dear video game devs

We’re not interested in games looking “hyper-realistic”

We’re interested in them being fun to play, cheap enough to actually buy on a regular salary, and not so large that the console can only store 7 at a time

Thanks
