Trust me as someone who has been in tech spaces in the bay area, it absolutely is racism. They don’t think to include as many black people in the room to tell them that their datasets are probably not as complete as they think. And not having black people in the room leads to tech that is thought of and developed by…

Racism is why software can’t decipher black faces. Most of the software engineers are white and most of their training datasets would also use white men. Garbage in garbage out is a saying for a reason. Your software can only work from what you feed into it.

I remember when the first trailers came out and some fans lost their minds because there was a black storm trooper. It was so wild to watch

I think it is fascinating that they fired the security person, who I doubt came up with this policy. How many black people has this security guard (or any other security personnel) directed to take the loading bay? If this wasn’t the editor in chief, would any thing have happened? Conde nast of whoever is in charge of…

I am against this until our medical science actually gets to the point where you can actually, not superficially, change a persons gender.

She had the name first, they didn’t do their due diligence when choosing Lady A. Or worse, they did and saw that it was a black woman and did not care. Why should she make it easier for them by devaluing herself? If Anita feels like the name is worth 10 million, then ask for what you’re worth. Isn’t that what girl…

How affordable is the surgery? Is it covered by insurance? Trans people statistically do not have the money to get the surgery (even though not every trans person wants to get surgery). I’m going to guess that you are more exposed to it because folks are crowd funding online so you see it more.

Why should cis people get to decide what is best for trans people? If trans people are saying “hey, gender conformation surgery and/or HRT vastly improves my quality of life” why do you get to decide it doesn’t? I’m sure you agree that non birthing people don’t get to decide whether birthing people have abortions or…

Decades of research has shown what the treatment for dysphoria is. You can also literally look at how much happier and healthier trans people are when their identities are confirmed, if they don’t get murdered by cis people. Trans people aren’t a new fad, they have existed for decades.

My boyfriend is convinced that this is not a real show. We watched a couple of episodes over the weekend and we got a good laugh out of it.

Ugh, I had forgotten about that! I watched Solo on a flight and I was so mad. Just sitting there regretting my life choices. Most of the movie was “I bet you wondered how he got his last name or his ship, well, here it is”! Nobody asked for that!

OP said:

This has bugged me so much since the end of Bat V Supes. Sure Supes is dead but did  you have to kill Clark too? Because when supes comes back, clark has to come back too! Not so good for your super secret identity!

I’m all for telling your truth or whatever less icky way to say it but I am sure he understood the boundaries of the relationship before he got into it. Part of that is probably “we are not discussing our open relationship in public” and he was fine with that. If that relationship stops serving you, you talk to all…

I’m sure you think this proves your point but it actually does not. Pointing to 3 white women out of 19 writers actually confirms what I said. Of the 16 men, only 1 is not white. Do you know how math works?

Yup, I vaguely remember it and know that I kinda shrugged at that part

The difference between women getting diarrhea (written by mostly women) versus having a guy finish on your face is pretty clear. They are both in humiliating situations but the power structure is different. It’s not even a good comparison.

I watched Top 5 and I vaguely remember that scene. It was not funny.

Not diverse. Mostly white and male. Hasan Minhaj is doing a fantastic job with Patriot Act on Netflix.

Good for him. Now look at the imdb page of the new movie he is promoting. All the main roles are white people. I’m not even exaggerating. All the main roles are white people. There are black people and other PoC in the movie just not in major speaking roles. It is disappointing because no movie cast should look like…
