Would like to start replacing the concept of OPM (Other People's Money) with OPD (Other People's Data).

Gives the right feeling of cavalier playing with the lives of anonymous others. In the words of Zuckerberg:

"They 'trust me' ... dumb fucks"

@adambienkov If they cared about their future, they should have been born wealthy. It is just common sense.

@adminkirsty @mattblaze Clarence Thomas is one argument against affirmative action.

I meant that for the one who asked.

It does matter somewhat, since the young people who get killed by the police in France tend to be either African or Arab.

@BPStuart I suppose you have opinions about women?

Saw pictures of the mother in the news and she is clearly caucasian. Described in the news as being of Algerian and Morrocan origin. Algerian can be any of a range of things. Would suspect that the mother is "Pied Noir." Former colonist in Algeria of French racial origin. (Do not know, but likely.) She was raising him alone. I think he would be colloquialaly refered to as "beurre." Literally, butter. Mixed Arab/French. The description of him as "French." would be largely correct. France is a melting pot with a large North African portion.

Shocking revelation that mercenaries can not be counted on to remain loyal

Oh. I forgot we are supposed to show compassion for people that kill little children by not bothering to think.
