WTF? Why would you want Guardians of the Galaxy without ALL of the Guardians? Like, the point of the whole friking movie was that ALL of them had to be there.

This is why companies like Disney are constantly having to do sweeps of the independent geeky sellers on Etsy and other sites. They've left this horrible void open because of their sexism, and then when people swoop in to fill it, they issue legal threats. It's ridiculous and stupid.

1. Why would HR read or take on-board a random article forwarded from an unknown account and apply it to their workforce?
2. Executive Order 13152 applies only to federal civilian employees. Some people have pursued case through the EEOC as sex discrimination but she would have to prove that others who are similarly…

I've noticed that "cool" startups are some of the MOST hostile environments for work and family stuff. They can't legally say "it's a bona fide work requirement for everyone to be young, hip, get all of our cultural references and be able to drink beer late into the night pretty much whenever" - but their hiring…

I was once working for a study that looked at the experiences of women in academia in the STEM fields. Some of the stories I was transcribing were just sort of horrifyingly funny, as academics - even in STEM - can often verge on just this side of lunacy. ("He threw a beaker at you?")

I wonder if the job went into the decision or stereotypes of the different jobs men and women have may play a role. At my previous job, the rule was the place of employment never closes, not even for record breaking snow. Fortunately, my job could be done from home if needed, so I could stay home and not take a day…

Not only are we not treated like human beings, black people aren't even treated as well as pets are by their fellow Americans.

I just want to be clear on the selection bias. They're using ONLY data from people that cheat to say monogamy is a failure FOR EVERYONE. Isn't that a bit like using interviews with atheists to "prove" about how organized religion is a massive failure? I'm not defending either institution, but using those who have…

I agree. A lot of my peers watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians (I was in high school when it first came out) - on my side, I thought it was the most boring, empty-headed crap I've ever had the misfortune to witness. The same was true for "The Simple Life" when I was in middle school. I just hate reality tv in…

(Caution: There may be a degree of ranty hyperbole below).

I hear you, but when it comes to letting kids watch what they want, even if you talk to them about certain things, the child might simply internalize these things anyway, but know that they shouldn't have. So they'll grow up with certain feelings that they know to be incorrect, because even a good discussion couldn't…

Yeah I was thinking it was a branding thing. I wonder if we'll see the male equivalent of a celebrity rpg.

While I have absolute zero interest in the Kardashians or any other reality television personalities, I find your statement off putting You wont "let them"? Why? These are the times, this is the new generation. I don't like it either but trying to force them to like only the things that you liked at their age robs…

Well said. And there's nothing to say that you can't be (or become) an omnivorous gamer—as a reader, I enjoy reading both bubble gum and "serious literature."

I think I'm convinced. That game seems a LOT like WOW except aimed at a totally different audience. Gamers, by the the very definition are "people who play games" and I don't think anyone who calls themselves a gamer has a *right* to look down at a game that someone else enjoys. Because who knows, those girls who are…

Now, you have to work your way up to Hiddleston; he's an advanced level English boyfriend.

It's a common phrase and probably a reference.

What does "Stay Woke" mean?

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I don't think you understood the study or the concepts of probability and marginal benefits.
