Lots of them weren’t doing ESG and DEI movements until their lenders that fund them said they had to.  Now, it’s super duper important. I’m sure it’s because they really really want to, though.  

My bad. You didn’t say *your* company. But you did say “lots of them” have lenders who “said they had to”

so do you want to provide examples or continue with your obfuscating?

You talk about reading comprehension, but you comprehended absolutely zero of my post or you just ignored and dismissed it. I know which one is most likely. 

Dismissed, 100%.  I’m not a Google service for doc sawbonz.

Nah. Must be something else. John Roberts says racism is no longer a thing.

But that doesn’t make sense; it’s something we don’t like. That’s narrows it down to fascism or racism, and I can’t see how that’s fascism.

Please don't use words that you don't understand. This schtick that you've got going has a very narrow lane...try to stay within it.

Congrats Oklahoma, you got rid of an open racist.  Defeated by a Republican, and 30% still voted for him though.

From a series of similar articles, it appears that O&G is voluntarily implementing ESG measures to attract investment and avoid shareholder backlash.

One bank is phasing out upstream lending entirely. https://www.ing.com/Newsroom/News/Press-releases/ING-takes-next-steps-on-energy-financing-after-COP28.htm

And it does appear that that is a trend constraining O&G lending.  Sounds good to me.

It’s still unsettling that college adjacent people feel comfortable suggesting that absence of people of color (who do not play sports for LSU) can make white people happy.

Most SEC fans are college adjacent in the sense that IPIHB posters are Ana de Armas adjacent.

The dumbfucks at Tiger Droppings embraced Qanon for a long fucking time, so it’s no surprise there’s racism there.  It’s a shame that many college athletes aren’t aware of those threads….

sorry, i had to take my posrep back lol...there are a few 'sane responses' hypothesizing actual possible factors explaining high Finn happiness levels...but there's literally NONE calling out the blatant horrifying racist remarks 😳 like, nobody is responding with "motherfucker you did NOT just say that!"

i like to think that would be the reaction of the majority of surly posters, even in DT. gotdamn.

Is this real life??

"Black female cafeteria workers were the best when I was in H.S.
Me: 'Mattie Lee, you're so pretty. Will you marry me when I graduate?'
Her (laughing): 'Have an extra piece of fried chicken, Zach.'
This worked every Fried Chicken day of the year for me."

Yeah, I wasn't all for it and have had quite mixed feelings about it for many reasons.

Many college athletes don't need to be aware of those threads because they already know exactly how those fuckers think and feel about them. They've lived it their entire lives.

It's a moot point now, but I really wanted PAC-12.

New Jersey HS has an unsanctioned (and racist) "White Student Union"

https://6abc.com/racially-biased-group-white-student-union-at-collingswood-high-school-being-investigated-by-camden-county-police/14677476/

 

Quote

COLLINGSWOOD, New Jersey (WPVI) -- A South Jersey school district and local police are investigating incidents of racial bias among high school students.

This includes the creation of the so-called 'White Student Union,' a non-sanctioned club at Collingswood High School in Camden County.

Students say kids in the club often racially harass other students.

High school administrators also informed the district that the students engaged in "unacceptable actions."

"It's been crazy in school, probably since last year," said student Kemani Wharton.

She says racial incidents at Collingswood High School reached a new level recently.

"I saw a lot of different things in school. It was like racial slurs," the ninth-grader recalled.

Members of the club reportedly call other students racial slurs. It's just one of the allegations now at the center of an investigation.

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office confirmed it is working with the Collingswood Police Department on an investigation into the alleged racial incidents.

"It's bothersome, especially this day and age to think that it's still going on and the stuff kids have to deal with," said Keyona Wharton, Kemani's mother.

Collingswood school officials say they cannot discuss the details of this incident as the investigation is ongoing, but Superintendent Fred McDowell sent a letter to the school community.

He addressed a racial bias incident that reportedly took place before spring break.

The letter read in part, "I am deeply troubled by the allegations. We remain deeply committed to dismantling racism in all its forms and providing equal access to an education that will empower all students."

Meanwhile, students say racism is an ongoing issue at the high school.

Last year, kids organized a peaceful protest which led to changes in the district's process of reporting discrimination.

Parents are saying they want to see the district take action in this case.

"I think they should crack down on it. I think, because there's no consequences for the students when they do certain things, that it's going to continue on. So I think they should crack down and there should be consequences," said Wharton.

The district will not discuss what specific action those students in the 'White Student Union' may face.

It is also unclear at this time how many students are involved in the unofficial club.

The superintendent's letter did state that, "any student who violates the district's code of conduct or the harassment, intimidation, and bullying policies will be disciplined appropriately."

Anyone with information on this incident is urged to contact the police immediately.

 

It makes sense that Charlie Kirk would say that. His hairline has been repealing from his forehead a good many years.

"They'll never repeal Ro..., uh, The Civil Rights Act."

Republicans really are out to keep women and minorities down and they are very open about it.  Kirk is heavily involved with the Project 2025 bullshit as well.

A bunch of dumb white people are mad black people can use the N word and they can’t. The dumbest people. 

What a weird fucking hill to die on.  Pissing away two more months of baseball that some of those Sophs and juniors need to be better next season to be in a position to get scholarship offers/drafted.  Because of a toddler outburst “no fair they get that word and we don’t!”

At the beginning of the story, I naively thought the beef was gonna be the lead off hitter, who usually hits in the bottom third, was put in the lead off spot due to pressure about giving black players more opportunities than whites.  I disagree, but I would get the rationale.  But no, it was not about that at all. 

here’s the twisted part.  The coach put them 1-2 in the lineup for the only time this season so they could both be abandoned on the field at the same time to watch the walkout occur alone.  And I’m thinking the other coach was told about the plan as well and had his pitcher throw away from anything contact ready.  
 

I get getting angry at a player in the heat of competition and calling some racial slur.  Ain’t right but it happens everyday in sports.  But this?  This took a year of planning and coordination.  That’s fucked up.

What a fuckin mess.  A bunch of white grievance, but I can't help but think that none of the adults handled this very well.

No, the adults didn't behave properly at all. The weirdest but most predictable part of the article was the aggrieved walk out parents acting as if they were some sort of freedom fighters on behalf of their 'victim' status. Yeah, y'all get back to me when fire hoses and attack dogs are directed toward you as you exit the stadium.

That had to be one of the more stupid petty sports parent things I've read of late and it's not like there's not much material coast to coast when it comes to youth sports.

 

You could set that story in Southlake or Allen and it wouldn't shock me in the least.

It's just astonishing to me that it has to be explained like this, like teaching to a five year old. It's so obvious why it's different, but even with this explanation, the people who need to understand will intentionally go out of their way to push back.
