If the rule or intent is ambiguous, problems may be considered inevitable.
In the above game, you really can't guess the intent. Of course this is partly, because it's an abstract example. But the intent can't really be "no cars or carsy things", because the real intent in "no cars in the park" would be perhaps a combination of no loud noises, no high speed, no heavy objects, no pollution etc.
I realize this may not be an agreeable point since I only got 11% in the game with the assumption that a vehicle is something used for transport (excluding wearables) and that the rules would be seen somewhere in or around the park (so not in the air).
As for your question, for which I don't claim any expertise: I fully acknowledge the problem of systemic racism. I think the better an individual (both the oppressed and others) has control over their own actions and outcomes, the better. In this sense, quotas based on race would be worst solution, extra points based on race a little better, but less than optimal. As far as I'm concerned, if the problem is low application rate among minorities, actions should be aimed to boost these numbers. If the problem is poor performance on admission tests / GPA etc., actions should aim to boost these numbers.
WhatsApp creates silent notifications free of vibration and popups for chats with individuals. Nothing for group chats.
Social media apps (like Instagram and Twitter) have 5 min/day timers.
It's all perfectly fine. A venue may choose not to host a play. A work of art is confined by the artist's views. Either one, the venue or the work of art, may become obsolete or more relevant because of these constraints.
Then, before going to bed, I open the machine wide open, pull out the "drawers" and let the dishes dry through the night before emptying the machine in the morning.
Of course this won't work, if you wash dishes by hand. If that's the case, a drying cabinet may be the solution for you.
I've been extremely happy with mine. There are contrast limitations, of course, but you quickly develop an eye for what works on it and what doesn't. But sure, you can't just throw any picture on there and expect to get away with it.
Note that it's made in and ships from Germany.
Relationship: don't keep a (mental) score of changed diapers, chores etc. with your spouse. You're not roommates. Team work isn't perfectly balanced or symmetrical.
You: Everything is just a phase and will soon pass. Remember this, when things are tough. Also, don't be confused if the first months feel more like a struggle than the most magical period. In the beginning they're more a "generic baby", which may or may not be your thing. After 4–6 months, they'll have developed a little more personality and you will fall in love with that person.
Parenting: Positive reinforcement. Overflow them with love. Try to teach them nice manners from the very start (greeting people, thanking etc). Everything in life is easier with a likeable person.
Problem solved. Dozens of new problems not introduced.
For me, this setup allows for a good balance of instantly knowing what's up when checking the phone but without being disturbed.
