jenkins6g··on Airbnb is in midlife crisis mode
I have an airbnb experience and just hired 2 people. Airbnb decided to pause my experience for no reason. Tried hitting up their support but they didn't provide a reason for the pause and a date when it would be resumed. This is why you never rely on one customer channel

Great solution, I've been thinking about how to sell my side-project the past couple weeks. POST request to 'https://buymysideproject.com/new' is throwing a 500 btw.
jenkins6g··on Feds say Yale discriminates against Asian, white applicants
This "finding" is absolutely tasteless. Studies found that SATs have little to no correlation to graduating from a university, same thing with GREs in grad school. African American students are proven year over year to have far less educational resources in their communities, live in poverty, etc. And far less African Americans apply to get into Yale compared to their white or Asian counterparts and the ones that do apply have a better shot of getting in due to their hard work than the African Americans that don't apply. And on top of that still has to deal with inequality across the board. So yes, to the 5% of Yale students that are African Americans, their acceptance was very well deserved. Knock off the bs about IQ this and IQ that. Try that crap in the real world at your job and see how far that gets you.
jenkins6g··on Twitter x TikTok = Twiktwok
This is pretty cool, I like the aspect of simply watching videos. I think I made it to the end of videos though, not sure if this was intentional or if you want to continue to paginate videos forever lol. Appreciate your idea and work, keep chugging!
jenkins6g··on Black boys don’t need more discipline, they need mentors (2018)
Agreed, but as a black man who grew up fatherless be mindful why black fathers are absent. Many times it's not by choice. There were and still are intentional systems in place to make it difficult for fathers to get jobs, stay within the prison system, and have access to quality education. I urge people commenting to ask their black friends for their insights. I came from an inner city and graduated from CMU. The two worlds are stark and mind blowing. But in the end, more mentors at an early age can help break the cycle. That's how you can play your part.
