Oh man, I’m super glad I don’t have to do ad testing or tracking for them anymore. I imagine that those conversations were fucking amazing.

The article is pointing out the intrinsic problems in the culture that leads to a man claiming that is the mindset. Lindy isn’t agreeing with the point that’s clearly quoted; she’s pointing out that it is part of the trap that culture sets for women. A guy lamenting the lack of “purity” among women is admitting that…

The reality is there is generally far less work to do than people and hours to do work, even in "really efficient" cases. That means that people fill the time either by relatively harmless activities not related to work or by creating imaginary work. The latter is worse as it can actually start pushing out real work.

I was going to be polite about it, but let's just be honest. The American right wing knows shit all about economics, which is really just a symptom of their disconnect from reality. Also I don't remember if I dropped this rant here before, but it bears repeating.

Different Fanatic groups are automatically considered to have opposing alignments, providing bonuses to neutralize or destroy. So this is a smart move by whomever is behind it. I'm going to guess the Discordians because of the use of a comedian to pull the strings here.

There are whole sites for stuff like that.

A lot of times these classifications are legacy from competitive sets from other research projects, or from half remembered ones done by one of the leads way back when.

Industry wise, most of those places are QSR (Quick Serve Restaurants) and not Casual Dine. Casual Dine has waitstaff. If it doesn't have someone bring you the food, it is QSR. It is a stupid large category (encompassing everything from Starbucks to high end burger joints), but they do reasonably complete for shares of…

A conservative talking head engages in a huge degree of projection without any self awareness, just another day on Fox.

Seriously. My wife and I discussed this one time. It is troubling how fixated some of these folks are on gay sex. Most people aren't this fixated on sex they're actually interested in having.

Anti-intellectual fuzzy headed fuckstacks of the highest order possessing decayed faculties of reason, following blindly the mewling of popular fools and outright charlatans.

Yes, as soon as she got in the tub that's where I thought it was going as well.

Yeah, absolutely. I would say that goes without saying, but then I remember conversations on the Internet. And I get sad.

Yes. The idea that bullying toughens people up, and that those of higher rank deserve to take what they want from those of lower rank is problematic. Beyond the immediate harm of it, it also feeds the idea that if someone isn't properly deferring to you, you need to do something to reestablish the social hierarchy.

Male anger is not just constantly validated, but glorified. Whole media franchises are based around it. Anger is what we're allowed to express. Noble visions of men still focus around the direction of anger towards deserving targets and exerting mastery.

As mentioned, it isn't how things actual work for establishing connections. It also ignores the likely fact that women are likely looking for a man who isn't going to do violence against them and those are more likely to be chosen as long term mates.

Because of neurology and the fact that disagreeing even if there wasn't neurological confirmation yet would be a pointless asshole thing to do.

The hardcore FoxNews viewer is a lost cause, sure, but a commanding performance on Fox can help energize the base and demonstrate that someone has what is needed to win the general, and win the primaries. That would be especially important given she lost the primary last time.

As a survey designer, I gotta say the question he's attack is no longer or more confusing than ones private enterprise uses to base business decisions on. I'm sure that those research instruments he's got zero problems with.

The statistics heavily indicate that the mentally ill are no more violent than other members of society and are far more likely to be the victims of violence than the perpetrators of it. We'd prefer to indicate that individuals are mentally ill, though not unworthy of punishment, than acknowledge that people are…
