They say that the assholes get the girls, but I can

I’m not sure how many other nonsensical remarks will come up from 2021 to 2024, when Kamala Harris actually enters the White House and gets to work. What I am quickly finding out is that although no one is disputing President-Elect Joe Biden as a white guy nor are they disputing who did and didn’t vote for him, this shunning of black women in less than 48 hours is about as annoying as the Obama birtherism argument. If we’re not being “corrected” for celebrating the HBCU graduate in a Divine Nine organization who had parents involved in the Civil Rights Movement, now black women who helped get her there are getting treated with amnesia brain, too. Pace yourself. We’ve got four years of this kind of disrespect to go. Can we get these two in the White House first before you so quickly forget your fair-weather fighting for black lives? Or, do you think you get a free pass when the black lives are black women?Sound terrible? You’re right. The technique originated in “pickup artist” communities in the late ’90s and early 2000s, in which some straight men aimed to become experts in “the art of seduction.” These communities have been widely condemned as misogynistic, and even accused of inciting violence against women: Elliot Rodger, who killed six people in 2014, was a member of online pickup artist forums.

These four built-in functions are useful tools for us to display names and values. Their common usage scenario is being used in a Python console to explore a script or an object when we are reading programs.

“In one more drink, I’ll be ready to hit on you.” “You’re too much of a nice girl for me.” “I like your shoes, they look really comfortable.” According to one popular Reddit post, these are a few classic examples of “negging,” a tactic self-described “pickup artists” use in an attempt to attract women.To make our lives easier, Python provides four useful built-in functions to help us display variable names and values of a specific scope conveniently. This post will dive into these four ways to make us enjoy reading code.

Instead, NBC News reports that the election came down to racially diverse urban centers and increasingly diverse suburbs in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

No sooner did the general public learn of negging than they, largely, condemned it. Urban Dictionary’s most popular definition, written in 2009, is: “Low-grade insults meant to undermine the self-confidence of a woman so she might be more vulnerable to your advances. This is something no decent guy would do.

Black people, who make up 39 percent or more of the population in those areas, primarily chose Biden. And from this “Frontline” episode on Milwaukee voters, it is a major feat that they even made a dent in elections. When votes started getting counted in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee and Atlanta, Trump’s lead in their respective states went kaput. Biden wouldn’t have even been the Democratic presidential nominee without Black voters in South Carolina, who initially got him to that 270 that he needed.

Unless she slept through the entire Election Week, she had to have noticed that flip from red to blue when ballot counters went to these cities. Even the most delusional and narcissistic man in the entire world noticed! So of course I understand why black people like LaTosha Brown and Cliff Albright (co-founders of Black Voters Matter Fund) and Georgia’s own Stacey Abrams were significant in leading the Democratic election. Just imagine how petty I would look if I started complaining, “Why aren’t black women in Chicago mentioned? They’re heroines, too.” As a black woman in Chicago who is relentless about voting, it was not our time to shine. While other blue states showed support for Biden and the electoral college needed us, too, the historical flips in these battleground states are worth all the credit they’ve been given. And I have zero problems giving it to them.

In a New York Times article published in 2004, pickup artist Neil Strauss credited the invention of the “neg” to fellow pickup artist Erik von Markovik. “Neither a compliment nor an insult, a neg holds two purposes: to momentarily lower a woman’s self-esteem and to suggest an intriguing disinterest. (‘Nice nails. Are they real? No? Oh, they look nice anyway.’),” Strauss writes.
