GETS ME EVERY TIME

anybody that’s seen this will spam it, but if you are ever ignorant enough that you want the government to cut programs like this, please watch Mr. Rogers defend his wonderful show years ago against budget cuts and unshrivel your terrible heart

Yeah the writers and majority of people who comment are pretty freaking discriminatory despite a total inability to see their own discrimination.

Queue responses about calling people who use iOS devices sheeple (thanks Merriam-Webster, I had no idea what that word meant otherwise). We get it, you don’t like walled gardens. These operating systems will do well without you vigorously defending them. Live and let live. :)

Neckbeard rage inbound.

People don’t really care about thinner, they care about OS.

That’s absolutely wacky and hilarious. I was lucky everyone’s asleep and I’m in a sleeping bag.

It’s not that bad. Have you ever tried to use Snapchat, aka the worst designed app ever. I hear it’s pretty popular.

The Dixon Ticonderoga Wood-Cased #2 HB Pencils are the only pencils that should be used. No need to fact check, I’ve already done that.

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…

No need to apologize! You brought up a valid point and you approached it objectively and, as you said, without making assumptions. It’s good to think about these factors because I think that’s where we’ll find the solutions :)

I don’t think it takes negotiation into account, it would be difficult to quantify anyways. And in fact, it may be one of the factors explaining the wage gap.

Assume that negotiating for a higher salary is the gender-defined difference. In that situation, why is such negotiating even allowed? If it’s all about negotiation and not about job qualification, then the people getting rewarded are not being rewarded for their actual merits related to the job, are they?

Interesting question! I think that it boils down to being a tough thing to control for/quantify. I don’t think that there is consistent record keeping among employers that say what an employee asked for vs what was given.

Have fun not playing a game you’d otherwise enjoy because its devs don’t want it associated with a racist.

Hey. Fuck you too.

Good god, the bigot apologists are out in force today.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

Counter-point: No it isn’t. This is a reasonable repercussion.
