Hym "The holes you fail to see are in the parallels you refuse to acknowledge. The parallel between D.E.I. and your religion. The parallel between the political duopoly and the religious duopoly. Though, these are not hard to reconcile. If it is a problem for you that the practice of D.E.I. allows people to to garner unearned moral virtue... Then it is ALSO as problem FOR YOU. The only problem is that in the absence of D.E.I. all that remains is your religion. This is a pathetic attempt at pushing out your competition. Neither of you need a moral monopoly. The difference is, your religion is evil. You need to stop doing it. The pushback against D.E.I. IS THE RELIGIOUS DUOPOLY clamping down on competition. Nobody wants to do your incest cult. You need to let it go. The separation of church and state needs to be enforced. And then you need to stop doing the religion. Because the religion is bad."

Get the The parallels you refuse to acknowledge mug.Something done primarily by males who are in the same demographic.
A simple nod that a guy that gives to another guy that acknowledges the fact that they are both aware of each other and accept each other's presence. Usually done without any thought going into it, essentially a non-verbal message of acceptance.
I have no idea why we do this now that I think about it, it's like some primal need to tell each other that we aren't hostile. Maybe it has to do with alpha males or something, left over monkey shit like arm hair I guess.

Get the Acknowledgize mug.The all fabled "nod of acknowledgement is an interesting phenomenon. It is, put simply a slight head nod exchanged between males. While its use is documented among females, it is a rare and condition specific phenomenon. While exchanged between friends who, for whatever reason may not want to acknowledge each other verbally, in some places of the world, it is a common greeting among strangers. For example, in the southern United States, it is very common to offer a head nod to another male as you pass each other or get caught glancing at each other. However, as you travel further north, the head nod disappears among unfamiliars. While taking a stroll in NYC, you'd be hard pressed to get any unfamiliar male to return a nod of acknowledgement while simply walking down the street.
