  1. i sold off a 16 year position in AAPL yesterday so just a heads up, regardless of what this ios looks like the stock is going to take off
  2. if i was fat, if I had an accent, if I didn't look like a "leader", if I wasn't raised in an environment that trained me to be adept at navigating conversations and interactions with Very Important White People. Shit, if I didn't have hair?
  3. He's not autistic but he has a trains roommate
  4. Lets "agree to disagree" that we have no actual knowledge about his beliefs - I think that Charlie Kirk himself is a perfectly good source to determine what his beliefs are and I don't have a hard time sussing out how I feel about them. Is it your opinion that getting shot in the neck in front of his wife and kids* should change our opinion about his beliefs? *did that happen? Were his kids there? I'm curious if that's true, not that I think it's relevant to whether he or his beliefs were shitty. It would be another piece of sadness to this whole thing if it was true, obviously.
  5. this relates to a thing that I'm curious about, if it's cultural or a broadly human thing or whatever. But there's the idea that a) there is an objective measurement of "more or less qualified" and b) only technical skill/talent/effort should or could matter regarding that measurement. Like, if someone believes that there is a measurement that indicates that they have the most knowledge and skill as a javascript developer, then there is no valid rationale to hire another person over them or even give some other person oversight responsibility to them or their work. Probably choosing sw devs as an example is bad because that's such a type, but I think it's widespread and maybe particularly among males this belief that there is an objectively correct choice or ranking in that type of scenario and that there is a specific kind of merit that is the only thing that can count. And that thing is such fertile ground for breeding misogyny and racism, which of course is why it is used to do that. It's the same thing as... asserting that Yngwie Malmsteen or some other technically proficient instrumentalist that makes niche music for fans of instrumentalism is a better musician than (obvious example) Taylor Swift when almost any metric you might use to meaningfully determine that (pointless and meaningless) distinction would give you the opposite conclusion.
  6. one of the key assumptions you are incorrectly making is that the status quo before DEI = race, sexual orientation, religion, etc are not being used in hiring decisions. this isn't accurate at all. the accusations are being demonstrated and justified over and over again, you are simply covering your ears and shouting "agree to disagree". this is also why I don't believe that you have an accurate read on the impect of DEI in your life and career.
  7. Would it help if I told you that we have a DEI spray you can spray on the closet door that keeps the DEI from coming out at night and giving white people’s jobs to unqualified coloreds?
  8. Dark political cartoons make strong men ✊
  9. It’s working fine without quotes
  10. Just a quick reminder for conservatives popping in to chide people for expressing the same opinions about Charlie Kirk that they had a week ago - none of us think that Charlie Kirk should have been murdered, and you voted a child rapist into the White House twice. We're not the same.
  11. V.I. Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!
  12. Yes let’s get some ideas from X
  13. Not even dead a week and they have a DEI hire hosting his show
  14. I in no way hope that this happens but want to go on the record before Ben Shapiro is murdered by an alt-furry that he is not in fact a respected academic among liberals and conservatives alike.
  15. Moderate liberals don’t feel this way and moderate conservatives really just describes people who are still trying to ignore the nastiness of their own politics (for example electing a child rapist president twice).
  16. Or, less jokingly, other fucking professional troll groypers feeding bullshit to willing participant “journalists” looking to feed their moron readers soothing headlines that tell them they are absolutely correct that all of this horrible craziness in the world is because of the woke left and not them and their spiritual leaders for electing the least Christian child rapist of all time to the presidency.
  17. Source is going to be text messages where they call each other gay
  18. Tuned in just in time. What a great ending
  19. Removed. Like a bat potato chip with some fur on it. If I start posting weird shit this time it's rabies.
  20. i just think it's a shame that johnny can't be here to see how much hate he has in common with groypers
