Well, he did buy at least one of his guns from somebody linked to the Bundy Ranch standoff, which is something the previous shooters mentioned in the thread were a part of.
The designation is not in and of itself an example of racism, but the automatic immediate causative leap that a hell of a...
I think punishment is appropriate but I don't think that throwing her in prison is a useful punishment for anybody involved, either her or society. We want to pretend that throwing people in jail and making the conditions miserable is a good solution to any misstep because otherwise the prison...
What point? Your arguments are just a tide of flimsy rationalizations to keep you from owning up to what you support.
Also your crew's insults are far from creative and unamusing. If you want to come off as not actually angry, have some fun with it (vocabulary permitting).
Why is it horrific for a person to categorize a group of people based on their skin's melanin content but somehow right to render the same treatment to a group of people characterized by their opposition to economic policies that benefit a group that has historically been harmed based on their...
No. We have government agencies that are specifically being kept from monitoring and keeping white and right wing extremists under a watchful eye and in check. It's even worse than the usual level of continual failure from the government, and it doesn't look to be getting better.
We don't have...
The Confederacy lost the Civil War. They won Reconstruction and won it big. They went just about undefeated between 1870 and 1955, by which point it wasn't so much "the South" as white people across the nation who wanted to perpetuate and live in white supremacy, who happened to be...
Oh god. This is definitely a good source to quote as if its conclusions are trustworthy. Never mind that you're being dishonest as hell and trying to pretend that antifa = blm = literally anyone who might have heard blm speaking. Also you know, that the nazis are on the record as not condemning...
This dude knows what's up.
I bought two 27s for home and an ultrawide 34 at work. The ultrawide was so much better I bought one for home. I've since gone to two setups with an ultrawide matched with wing 27s at home and a wing 27 and my surface screen at work.
The only monitor I would consider...
Tell us more about how your side committing vehicular homicide isn't violence.
Don't tell me that you're posting more today because you got fired over where you were over the weekend.
Yes, the people who use violence to stop genocide advocates from enacting their goals and the genocide advocates are equivalent sides of a coin. Good job!
The last time black people tried remotely similar tactics with open carry, it was the Black Panthers. You know what the upshot of that was? Noted Conservative Saint Reagan passed California's gun laws.
Now try and find me an example of black people carrying guns for political ends like that...
I said that the averages are potentially different, but that individual variation is more important than the group in determining a person's overall capability. The center of the distribution (incidentally, those distributions are going to be different for a huge number of traits and people will...
How is removing a monument tit for tat when dealing with active violence and systematic oppression?
If you're going to equivocate on whether actively pursuing policies that kill people and undermine democracy is worse than property damage, you really ought to go take a long hard think about...
Yep! In most places it's close enough that variance between individuals is going to overwhelm most of those traits though. Not to mention that any comparative study of men and women is going to be a comparative study of men, women, and their development from birth until they take those tests...
All it would take to disprove what I said is show a point where he considers things from an even perspective, where differences between men and women might favor women in software engineering. Otherwise the premise is fundamentally flawed.
This is a bad enough reply I feel ashamed for you...
I assume you've read the memo? Have you also read my criticism of it? If so, do you have any answer to it, or do you agree that the content of the memo is based on a premise of female inferiority that is unfair and prejudiced? In that case, is it not acceptable to get angry at something which is...
I think this article is a pretty awful discussion of the topic. It accepts without comment the implicit premise of the author of the original document, that differences between women and men make women less likely to have aptitude for software engineering, rather than having the potential to be...
Shame you can't acknowledge better posting than your own elsewhere in the reply.
Is creating programs designed to offset/mitigate known biases discrimination, or would the action of doing nothing in the face of them be actually more discriminatory?
He's starting from the premise that the...
It is simultaneously possible to believe that gender is overloaded with tons of baggage that underemphasizes the individual and that it is tied into a person's sense of self in a way that causes dysphoria. The emphasis should be on respecting the person's idea of who they in particular are, and...
Final Fantasy VIII (Sorry but the soundtrack is better than VII's except for a few songs, VII's let down by having much worse synth voices)
Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall and Hong Kong
Transistor
Homeworld series
That'd be an interesting one, because that relationship has been noted as occurring in the other direction as software engineering became male dominated.
He displayed gross incompetence in attempting to understand things both as a biologist and as a human being. Labeling bias as "political...
I think he's blinded himself to what it means to be on the receiving end because he can't have his defense of it and his self-image at the same time any other way.
How often does it come up to people who turn a blind eye, are obviously unsympathetic audiences for anyone in their life who might...
Yep. It's not conducted in the style of honest inquiry, it's a lot like The Bell Curve in that it brings up figures, mentions one explanation and doesn't even admit the possibility that his explanation isn't involved. Does he even mention the possibility that women have a greater aptitude for...
This brings up something that I'm not sure if people outside the industry, or even those inside the industry who aren't paying attention or are trying not to notice, know.
The gender gap in programming is pretty strongly nationality based. In and outside the US, programmers from countries...
Right, from that perspective it's all good and dandy. On the other hand, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there a subset of jobs that are functionally underpaid and propped up by the taxpayer dime just for the sake of having jobs, which ends up incentivizing businesses to make jobs that are...
Is a smoke detector that goes off when air has oxygen in it more useful just because it goes off more frequently?
Also, how do the larger set of concerns which conservatives engage with on the level of morality enhance the chances of human survival? You are making a heavy claim here. Enumerate...
All moonie does is ask what 2+2 is. He doesn't provide an answer, and when he is answered he asks again. He asks us at endless length to consider his ideas, but he doesn't consider our responses or whether our responses make it painfully clear that we have considered his ideas and found them...
Active attempts to suppress and manipulate the vote aren't really compatible with that.
The US's system aspires to be a representative democracy. In practice the democracy is constrained and the representation warped.
