How do you deal with manspreading?

indirect76 comments on Apr 7, 2019:

Man spreading is a new one for me, but I get it. Having a slight frame, I’d really have to put effort into what seems to come naturally to others. I think it’s a symptom of a much larger issue where some people simply live in their own little bubble without a consideration for others. I try not to let it get to me because it’s not malicious, just thoughtless.

Ego vs Eco. Do both exist? Can we choose one? What do you think?

Study: Poor African Americans in the Deep South Are Most Likely to Be Audited By the IRS

indirect76 comments on Apr 5, 2019:

So, a few of things here. First, what’s up with the large white areas of the map. White is not in the legend, so is the data missing? If so those are fairly significant sections. Second, I was under the impression that IRS agents made bonuses based on what their audits brought in. Auditing the poor does not seem like a great strategy if that is your goal. Third, the variance is form 6 to 11+ out of a 1000. While that is still at least twice as much, it seems like it’s a statistically small deviation. I don’t know, stats isn’t my strong suit.

indirect76 comments on Mar 30, 2019:

It’s interesting. I was in the opposite situation of the author. I’m a -white as they come- guy that was with a Mexican girl for four years. I never felt the pressure he did. I honestly did not think about it much. I visited her family and she visited mine. There was no issue. I feel like it would be a different thing though if I were Mexican and she white. I feel like the color and sex matters in this society. Now, I don’t think the author is being racist for breaking up with her. It’s not her race per se that he does not like, just the drama around it. That said it doesn’t seem like a good reason to me. Who knows? Perhaps he wasn’t that into her in the first place.
