$20... Wait... why do I keep doing this for free?

Shadow socks? Ssh?

tell me.how

Also fuck your school board's it

His son just probably has a laptop and boots using a usb into linux. All of these christian goodie-do-gooders are going to create a nation of hackers.

I don't like her, but you have to admit that's hysterical.

It's possible it's a coincidence.

The idea that scientists, especially hard scientists, have a certain look is something many think... so despite literally everyone on lemmy downvoting me, i still think it's important to notice when these things coincidentally happen or don't coincidentally happen

However you are saying SMBC is very tolerant and unbiased and I believe you. I was't saying it was sexism, I was just noticing it. But I understand the defensive reaction: if the comic creator is generally accepting of many people's identitites then they are less likely to have done this with any sort of biased intent and the comic creator is probably cool and not prejudiced.

A lot of gay people are financially kind to people they have had sex with. I am not saying that's relevant in this situation.

There's another person who Theil "randomly" put a lot of money and clout behind too.

I guess it's possible it's not related to sex both times? But it seems really random if it's not related to sex.

Pete gave the kind safe answer.

Looks like both the big political parties offer people opprtunities to fuck their way up to the top.

No, it's shorter and more masculine... since more masculine people do hard science like physics while even a regular mom who is a little bit smart could learn biology. (I don't think this.) I am just pointing it out, it probably wasn't done with intentiinal sexism.

Youre right. And... Do you think DEI becoming a buzzword in the Republican culture war makes it more or less likely there will be more of those lawsuits?

But yes, at the end of the day, whatever the reason it just means more racism, because bias is often hard to prove and you often can't prove that bias accounts for a lack of advancement, you just feel it, and bias can make getting ahead so much harder in so many ways.

I think Republicans especially hated DEI because it could include trans and LGBT people. The existence of trans people means their made up god is fake, because their fantasy book says Adam and Eve, not Adam Eve and They/Them. If trans people are real, then the magical fantasy book is a lie, and then they've been lied to and fooled and their magic jebus bread didnt really have magical powers and they can't possibly admit to that, so here we are.

Plus it helps us realize that since they have more masculine haircuts they are even smarter, right?

Because it wouldn't make sense for the initial female to look the same and still be a physicist, right?

Just pointing out that bias may also be affecting the cartoon too, even if not maliciously intended

In the future there will probably white people suing for racism based on the existence of dei and the courts are now so racist those lawsuits will be allowed because the same territories that fought for slave ownership during rhe civil war have political leverage via republicans

Dei is now a legal liability instead of protecting against lawsuits. Many companies that are laying off people cant justify keeping dei in that environment when they are laying off people that do work that is closely aligned with the business. Laying off a senior programmer but keeping dei seems a bit unfair and since dei could be a liability why keep it?

There was also pressure to hire more black people in business back in covid times and post-covid and companies did that, with data showing it probably impacted other races getting hired. It's risky for them to keep doing that and likely expensive. Dei was also keeping more data allowing them to get sued to more easily either way. Many employees complained about dei and that it was all for show even when the expense was there.

Its also became synonymous with woke and republicans hate the term. Conpanies only do what the prevailing political winds say so they can fit in with legal compliance enough to keep profiting. They don't care and are mostly an illusion of a logo with greedy people worshipping money behind the veneer.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and joking and didn't realize the phrase was highly connected recently with a right-wing racist piece of trash. I try to ignore what she says because she's such an idiot and so no, I didn't get it.

You know how matter changes from solid to liquid to gas at certain points? I believe there are phase changes in ecology and environmental habitability and sometimes things seem fine and suddenly they aren't.

At the risk of sounding prejudiced and offensive, the norse are a very smart and sexy group of people, so perhaps I am wrong in not accepting your illogical and sexy perspective?

I just think 1 variable of change is not the correct barometer of "how close are we to the ecological abyss?"
