> “Typical that a girl statue gets criticized for finding success the same way a very masc bull statue did”

Yeah it is typical because the bull was criticized as well then eventually accepted. Your “masculine” bull and the feminine figure are receiving equal treatment save for the fact that there was already something…

That’s a shame. For what it’s worth I wholeheartedly support families and individuals who want to keep their illnesses private. Some people want as much support as they can get when they are sick but not everyone is like that, for other’s it is a very private or at least familial issue.

Not knowing how long he was…

Funny is that Glassdoor’s survey of half a million salaries found that their unadjusted wage gap was actually higher (~24%) but their adjusted wage gap was only 5.4%

I guess my point is that if someone who negotiates is seen as ‘bitchy’, ‘not nice’ etc would that not also affect their work?

I want to be clear that I agree it’s a social construct and part of how we raise people. But in the same way we teach men to be confident and make their voices heard are those not positives in…

I dated a young woman who was a contract negotiator in the aeronautics industry. We talked a lot about economics and I bought up the point about negotiation being statistically less favorable for women.

Her point was interesting: negotiation was a part of her job duties and something she excelled at. Removing it from…

Interesting question that I don’t have time to dig into: This article is from the same group just last year

I rocked a Chrome mini-metro for a long time but had to ditch it.

It’s interesting how much office layout matters. At my old office I’d usually get home from work with ~8,000 steps. Our restroom was outside our restricted workspace, as were most of our meeting rooms, our drink area etc. Going between different floors wasn’t uncommon either.

We changed office spaces and my…

Similarly one of the things I was taught is that in an emergency such as a coworker having a heart attack, you want to designate someone (or multiple someones) to flag down the EMTs on the street or in the parking lot and escort them inside.

The last thing you want is for the EMTs to be banging at your keycard-locked…

It really bugged me in Fates how they made it so that the (previously) better weapons now just had weird downsides. “Oh, silver swords now slowly reduce your Str the more you use them!”

Because in previous versions silver swords were just...better than steel. And steel was better than iron. They wear out faster and…

“WESTERN PLEASURE: Jason’s Horse Secrets”

(western pleasure is a type of horseriding which I only know about because it sounds filthy)

The real money is in selling stuff to “Real Nerds” under the pretense that they’ll become “Cool Nerds”!

So yeah, any shopping list that they can look at and say, “Oh, I already own that” is a bit of a waste.

Yeah that’s the head-scratcher for me. I understand why a comment like this would get you uninvited from a speaking event.

But how did all of the other random shit not *also* get him uninvited before? It’s like, “Yo, if you’re going to draw a line why did you wait so long?”

There’s a great short podcast by NPR talking about Salmon sushi.

Basically up until 30 years ago the Japanese would absolutely NOT eat salmon. Part of that is just cultural but the salmon in Japan lives in much warmer water so parasites are more common.

But that’s not a problem in Norway! The reason we have salmon…

The way I see it the Switch could bring everything that’s great about the 3DS (my favorite hardware of this gen) into the console market. Or it could bring everything that was terrible about the WiiU.

So...what you’re saying is that you should just go to Korean BBQ? As long as you bring your own bread that is, they usually don’t have that.
