At least not in the current US of A where open sedition against a democraticly chosen government is completely normal and protesting a fascist government is evil
Or, in this case, physics. You assume that, where physics is the issue, it must be racism because... Everything is racism, I guess?
Dark skin color reflect less light. Somebody with an extremely dark skinay actually reflect so little light that it's harder to make out details. Could this be adjusted for? Up to certain levels, I'm sure. Should we call everything racist automatically?
Though I would not call this front page news worthy, at the same time it's extremely disrespectful from this asshat at the very least.
The monument is literally for those that died to give you the freedoms that you enjoy today. It's somewhat news worthy and hopefully it will shame enough people in giving a little respect where respect is due.
I see this as a similar news item as tourists writing "Kyle was here!" with a marker on some monument and it reminds me of when I just recently visited the Vatican as a tourist where I too saw so many disrespectful people.
I'm a staunch atheist but I can admire the beauty of the art, and I understand the importance the place has for many people. Women entering are asked to wear a scarf over their shoulders if they wear tank tops, etc. So to my surprise, so many women got the scarf, walked in, the just stuffed the scarf in a purse or something because they didn't wanted to wear it.
Agree with it or not, that's fine. But if you enter, show some damned respect. Either wear the scarf or leave. I don't have respect for people that don't respect others
I'll agree that it's weird to say the least that they're askit for pets, pets should be worth more than just their money.
Having said that, predators need food too. Predators aren't evil, they just evolved to eat other animals, it's what they do, it's what they've done for a billion years or so.
I want there to be a difference between actual discrimination and just software not working the way it should be, or sometimes even physics.
Again as the example: facial recognition on people with extremely dark skin. The camera gets less light, less detail, it's literally physics causing the issue, NOT discrimination.
If cour the that needs to be fixed but that might mean that the camera needs a small light to help, for example. Again, this is not discrimination, it's just a consequence of having darker skin, doesn't make anyone less or more, it is what it is.
I really get uncomfortable when people start throwing around "discrimination!!!" on things like this, because it means that in my job as a software developer now suddenly I can be called a nazi because a software method wasn't done quite right
It's not a discrimination thing, I'm sure this is just facial recognition failing over his extensive facial tattoos, same as it can fail on people with very dark skin. No racism or discrimination needed to explain it, it's just the software or sometimes even physics that causes it.
Having said that, fuck the UK government for implementing this shit.
Get your porn whilst you can because other countries will follow suit and soon even a VPN won't save you anymore
I'm sorry but it can't be that hard to have an automated lock on the door. If metal detectors influence the machine, which is possible, then out them further away. Again, with MRI machines costing what they do, these aren't the prices you would worry about.
It's not disgusting
