Elon Musk is a nice chap

   Had a pretty good start, taking Black History, in tenth grade...then by coincidence, following year, some friends and I were able to switch High Schools, transferring to the new, highly integrated (50/50) Richmond school (John F. Kennedy High).
Learned a lot about racial backgrounds and histories.

   Current 'woke' discussion, here, does not offer ANY of the life's lessons, on race relations, that were avail, 50 years ago.  Nor, technical, nor social media commentary to learn from.

   I 'skim', here, yawn, sigh, a couple times.  BUT, I would say, the commentary about Musk, on mainstream TV news shows is revolting.  They saying, that racism on Twitter has exploded, now, which made me want to ask, here...
But, sorry, time-out, on the frivolous politics, I've got enormous pile of ELECTRONICS systems crap to solve.

Segregating history appears to be racist to me. I've never understood why the history of a certain demographic is taught separately. A lot of it is inaccurate and is moulded to fit a certain narrative, with certain inconvenient truths omitted.

Yes, much of it is taking us backwards.

Is it though? It's difficult to get objective data on the matter. The number of bad words might have increased, but that would be the case if more people are using it and minorities are more likely to use those words.

I'm on Christmas bread and board, I mean break and bored. I must've been hungry when I made that error.  :palm: I've left a lot of my kit at work. :palm:

A good example why what you identify with stuff is total nonsense.

--- Quote ---René Salinas Ramos says the legal change is an attempt to gain full custody of his daughters, because Ecuadoran law favors mothers in custody battles.

Did this legal move make him a mother?

PS. Ecuadorian laws remind me of Soviet laws. Divorce in the USSR meant two inevitable things to a former husband: loss of custody of his children and homelessness. The latter meant moving back to the parent’s apparent or to a hostel, because homelessness was also prohibited. The law called “MOTHERHOOD AND CHILDHOOD PROTECTION ACT” mandated that upon a divorce the custody of children should remain with the mother in 100% of the cases, and that the mother and children cannot be evicted from the residence they occupied prior to the divorce. Property ownership was prohibited under Soviet laws, and all residential properties were tenanted either from the state or cooperatives. The state would evict the former husband.

PPS. I did not know Elon was heading to Ecuador.

Why on earth would anyone get married or have kids under those constraints? Was remaining a bachelor prohibited too?
