  • ‘God, you’re hot’ Tennessee school board member says to student during board meeting

  • So just to be clear when you say popularity, you mean who people like the most, on a personal level ?

    Not something like who people think is the most fit for the job, regardless of personal like or dislike ?

  • I have no idea what you are saying now. You’re saying, you should dictatorially be given the power to appoint school board members, and you’d do so solely on a first come, first given, basis?

    I mean, not at all , read the reply again.

    OK, so you are saying you want to be a dictator of school board members, because you are the one who should have sole authority in this area. And you would not judge people based on qualifications or merit?

    Ah, i see, you don't have an actual response so you weaponise ignorance, that's actually pretty clever.

    It's hard to argue with someone not using reason as a basis, you neither have to present a reasonable argument nor support it, that's downright devious.

    In case that reply was serious and you just missed what i was saying, i'll try and simplify for you and leave out the extra words around it so there's nothing to be confused about...ready ?

    Who can run is not the only criteria for who is qualified for a position.

  • popularity as the only criteria or as one of many criteria ?

  • It’s not an argument. It’s a fact.

    That seems definitive, good to have a rock solid source.

    My local school board anyone can run. The only requirement is you are a resident of the district you represent, and you are over 18, and you are a registered voter. That’s literally it. There are no other requirements, qualifications, or criteria for running for school board.

    Useful information , eligibility to run is still not the full criteria for how someone is evaluated for a position though.

    Technically, i suppose it could be considered an initial screening, so you're not entirely incorrect, just incorrect that it's the only evaluation mechanism.

    If it were , there'd be no need for votes, first person to apply and be eligible would automatically get the job.

  • Shhhh, don't overload them with reason, it's rare to see this kind of naivete in it's natural form.

    edit: some salty salty lurkers around today, come on in, the waters fine, i'm sure you have coherent arguments to add.

  • That's not even required (though it would most likely be more accurate ) , there are some easy , low-hanging fruit answers to this question that don't need expertise.

    I'm just interested in seeing if they really think popularity is the best option here.

  • it can’t be judged without well-defined critical, no.

    That's a partial answer at best , a nice deflection though.

    So your argument is that there is no possible criteria by which competence/ability can be judged for a school board position so popularity is the best option ?

    seriously, what is the qualification or criteria for being a good school board member? tell me. I’d like to know because as far as I am aware, there absolutely is none.

    Once you answer the original question or the newly revised version above i can give you some idea on this.

    anyone can run for school board.

    Who can run for a school board and how a school board member is evaluated for the position are unrelated.

  • Just to be clear, you're arguing that merit/competence can't be accurately judged and therefore should be ignored in favour of popularity ?

  • I'll assume you pulled that mental gymnastic routine out of the same place you store how you think the word literally is supposed to work.

    At no point was "pull requests deserve death threats" even hinted at.

    Semi-reasonable takes wrapped in logically dubious arguments is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Doubling down with a retort that only requires you to read 5 lines to see it isn't true is wandering in the fields of free and easy victory and choosing to drown yourself in the 2 inch puddle of defeat.

  • I'd say it's less a legal fight than it is a fight for control , using the law this time.

    Pretending that what people are upset about is the field rather than the pre-capitulation is not helping the cause.

    Most of the hate isn't for the technical implementation of a field, though some FOSS people are upset at that as well.

    You can sidestep the legal fight by not serving the places where it is illegal.

    That's doesn't necessarily align with the goals of whatever project, but it is possible.

  • It's subjective and context based, on a person to person basis and in the aggregate societal norms.

    It's the same as if you were talking about whatever broader group you were personally into. Just with the erotic attraction part removed.

    If you, personally, have no criteria for judging you can try and work with what you understand the conversation partners tastes to be.

    If you are talking to someone you think appreciates Hollywood hot then you can way "they are hot" with the understanding that you are commenting from a shared context of hot.

    If you were to say "I think they are hot" that's a different context and implies you, personally, think they are hot.

    To be clear, neither of those explicitly states an erotic attraction, though it can be taken that way, depending on the context.

    Communication is hard.
