It’s on my radar but didn’t know when it’s happening.

I think it happened today. Edit to add, after reading Reddit and msm a bit too much, it’s awesome looking at this photo. Maybe there is hope for the future. Of course we needed to know about the “lack of diversity” and comparison to “the hunger games” by the emotional retards who hate success unless it’s dragging others down.

People would have to accept #1-that we aren’t all equal, and #2 that there’s only one best at anything. Everyone else…isn’t. That’s nearly every human who isn’t the best at anything. Accept it.
