The concern isn't equality, it's moreso equity. Historically, minorities have suffered systemic efforts that have limited their ability to pursue higher education for a variety of socio-economic reasons. Despite many of those systemic efforts having been thwarted with time, many minority populations' socio-economic status as a whole still suffers when compared to those of White populations.

These minority populations unquestionably have fewer opportunities (in a multitude of ways) to pursue higher education, and so Affirmative Action helps to destroy some of those barriers and help provide an equitable way to facilitate this -- to help level the playing field that's been dominated by White populations for as long as the country has existed.

Is it a perfect solution? No. Do deserving applicants who would otherwise have been accepted maybe not get their top choice? Yes. But on a population scale, this was probably a good thing. Now we're back to "equality" which for the past however many years didn't exist, and the people who were lower before, continue to suffer the consequences.

Amazing, thanks very much for sharing this. Admittedly I was referring to the Berlin interpretation of a roguelike, so I very much appreciate such an extensive breakdown of some of your recommendations. Haven't heard of a handful of these, will be checking them out with time!

Maybe not the best book I've ever read, but favourite for sure goes to Kafka on the Shore. Had me hooked the entire way through, and it's a book I've thought of for years after reading it initially.

If I can pick another, Siddhartha is an all-time favourite too.

Awesome, yeah heavy, but not too much like a cast iron then. Thanks for clarifying! Probably going to go head with one of these. Would you consider a smaller size or are you especially happy with the 12inch?

 

Getting into DCSS a lot recently. Still just running Minotaur Berserker with the furthest I've made it being the 10th floor aha.

Regardless, really enjoying it and wondering if others have any other recommendations. I tried ToME4 and just felt overwhelmed and wasn't enjoying myself too much.

Have my eyes of Caves of Qud as well. Love the more "literary" aspect to it (even though I know it's often nonsense), and the atmosphere/setting. Seems to be highly regarded overall though. Wondering if I should buy it and play alongside DCSS.

Looks very interesting, thanks for sharing! Will check it out. My aim isn't as good as it used to be, and I struggle hard on games like Apex.

This looks like they took that fast paced formula to another level with all the movement options ahah

Seeing this pop up multiple times is drawing me to it. May just go ahead and pull the trigger on this! Any preference on size on your end? I'm looking at the 10in one.

Searching around it seems America's Test Kitchen recommends this as well. If you had to compare to a cast iron skillet, I imagine still much lighter than that right?

Electric stove top. Would've loved a gas one, but just renting right now so can't change it out or anything!

 

Hey folks, I'm in the market for a good carbon steel skillet. I recognize there's all kinds of options, but curious to hear people's experiences with some bang-for-your-buck picks especially.

Specifically I was looking at OXO's carbon steel pan. If anyone has any thoughts, would appreciate them!

Nice, thanks for sharing -- will be trying some of the ones you mentioned for sure

 

Would love to hear peoples experiences with any of the demos out for this Next Fest.

A standout for me is Sea of Stars, and it seems the demo runs perfectly so far!

Let's collect some recommendations here for others to join in

Can almost never agree with the exact numbering, but still a great collection of amazing games. Some I wouldn't include, but opinions are opinions.

Great thread, thanks all for sharing.

I personally use Tea for Turmeric quite a bit for Pakistani/South Asian cooking!

 

Hey folks, wife and I are moving to Oakville soon, near Bronte Harbour. Only somewhat familiar with the area.

Wondering if any locals have any recommendations for food, stuff to check out, anything and everything really.

Appreciate it!
