CareerRe: Radiography Vs Nursing Which Is Better by Cousin9999: 5:33pm On Jun 30, 2022
Radiology school is easier. In the job, you don't deal with the dirty aspects of nursing. The pay is okay.

Nursing pays more and has more options. If you have the stomach for it, do it.

You know, a black person being enamored with that physical feature has to be one of the clearest examples of severe mental health issues.

ETA: I'd even go as far as to say, it should be considered an actual mental illness.

Go online and look for remote opportunities. You'll definitely make more than that for even a basic part-time clerical job. Once you get enough experience, you can get an American salary.

Btw Nursing is worth whatever hard work you have to put in. It will not disappoint. And you will have a lot of options in your career.

And to all of you current and future nurses, nothing but respect and appreciation.

Foreign AffairsU.S. FCC Commissioner Wants Apple And Google To Remove Tiktok From Their Stores by Cousin9999(op): 4:09pm On Jun 29, 2022
A leader of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said he has asked Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores over China-related data security concerns.

The wildly popular short video app is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, which faced U.S. scrutiny under President Donald Trump.

Brendan Carr, one of the FCC's commissioners, shared via Twitter a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. The letter pointed to reports and other developments that made TikTok non-compliant with the two companies' app store policies.

"TikTok is not what it appears to be on the surface. It is not just an app for sharing funny videos or meme. That's the sheep's clothing," he said in the letter. "At its core, TikTok functions as a sophisticated surveillance tool that harvests extensive amounts of personal and sensitive data."

Alphabet, Apple and TikTok did not immediately respond to CNBC requests for comment.

Carr's letter, dated June 24 on FCC letterhead, said if the Apple and Alphabet do not remove TikTok from their app stores, they should provide statements to him by July 8.

The statements should explain "the basis for your company's conclusion that the surreptitious access of private and sensitive U.S. user data by persons located in Beijing, coupled with TikTok's pattern of misleading representations and conduct, does not run afoul of any of your app store policies," he said.

Trump nominated Carr in 2018 to a five-year term with the FCC. The Senate confirmed in December that the commission's chair, Jessica Rosenworcel, would stay on for another five-year term.

Carr's letter cited a BuzzFeed News report from earlier in the month that said recordings of TikTok employee statements indicated engineers in China had access to U.S. data between September 2021 and January 2022.

The BuzzFeed report included a statement from a TikTok spokesperson.

It said: "We know we're among the most scrutinized platforms from a security standpoint, and we aim to remove any doubt about the security of US user data. That's why we hire experts in their fields, continually work to validate our security standards, and bring in reputable, independent third parties to test our defenses."

On June 17, the same day as the BuzzFeed report, TikTok announced it was routing all of U.S. user traffic to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and was moving U.S. users' private data from its own data centers in the U.S. and Singapore to Oracle cloud servers in the U.S.

Look, there's no mystery. People have written and talked about racism extensively. This thread serves no purpose except for racist rētards to sexually gratify themselves with.

And ultimately racism itself is akin to men who sexually assault minors. "Racists" are rētarded psychopaths satisfying some sick urge to act out on specific groups of people in bizarre ways.

God1000:
our celebrities only think about themselves
Here's why more of them don't do these things besides being a narcissist:

1. In certain countries, black people who reach a certain level of wealth are told flat out by oyinbos that if they do anything significant to help black people -- their wealth, career, and possibly freedom are done.

2. Oyinbo stooges throughout Africa threaten rich celebrities who try to give back. Akon was threatened for simply trying to improve access to electricity.

3. Some celebrities are basically country boys who don't have a clue how to do these things. And many have been ripped off by scammers and snakes. They may have already tried, and gave up. Even people who are much more knowledgeable get ripped off.

4. Some celebrities don't have as much money as you think. This is especially true in the SM era. People lease, rent, fake, and act to create an image and brand. They may have bad contracts, poor money management, high legal fees, and lawsuits. Celebrities also get a lot of free stuff if their following is strong, so just because they're wearing designer, that doesn't mean they can actually afford it.

5. Some celebrities owe their career to certain people who basically make every decision for them. The person essentially controls every decision in their life because the celebrity values their career more than their independence.

6. Celebrities in most parts of the world are extorted by organized crime. They pay "taxes." They also pay hush money to various people to hide their dirt, or stop false accusations from damaging their career.

I REPEAT, BLACK PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY.

THE BITTERNESS IS REAL, WICKED SOULS.

LET DEM GET OUT WITH THEIR FAKE STAGE, NOBODY SEND DEM.
BET hasn't been black-owned for over a decade.

When it was, you would see music videos from African artists (appeared on Caribbean Rhythms). You may see an African actor, professor, host, businessman, athlete, or whatever pop-up on a news or entertainment show. I'm trying to recall specifics, but much of the network focus was American politics, entertainment, and sports.
RomanceRe: Why Do White People Have That Juju Stuff In Their Culture by Cousin9999: 10:21am On Jun 27, 2022
I wouldn't describe it that way. I doubt a large segment of them are even into anything like that. It's more of a subculture that includes music, art, philosophy, different religions, lifestyle, and political ideology.

People like to claim metal and punk birthed it, but I'm pretty sure the origins are much older. It's probably from various fringe cultures that grew and merged due to social changes. They connect on philosophy, fascination with "dark" things, and rejection of a lot of mainstream culture. There's clear influence from Euro paganism, and nonEuro traditional religions falsely labeled as Euro. Much of their music and style is basically cheapened black music and style. The ideologies are mainly from all over Europe dating back probably millennia.

Many are actually more enlightened than a lot of people despite the ridiculous clothing. The culture encourages, supports, and challenges people to think beyond popular thought.

But there's also a segment of them that just uses the culture to create a space for negativity, like drug abuse and racist ideology. And some oyinbo males use the style of dress to get girls.
