That’s bullshit though. “Qualifications” are subjective not objective. The whole “hire the most qualified for the job” is a smokescreen to use things like “Culture fit” and “Drive” as supposed tie breakers between minority and female candidates.

Why is this a mess? Guy has a real job that pays and is legal. Guy is an entrepreneur. Using the name “Markle” is ballsy for sure, but he didn’t say anything bad or inflammatory about the couple at all. He said he’d be happy to show them around oregon if they’d like, and that he thinks Megan has an American view on…

I mean TBH democracy has been destroyed. Coffee-salute happened and then democracy fell. I’m just pointing out the facts

There’s always some asshole at work who goes off about diversity of thought when we’re talking about hiring. The claim he (and it’s always a he...) will make is that it’s racist to assume that a black man would have a different perspective than a white man, and that we should really pursue a poor white farmer for the…

While I think this is very important and they definitely should hire more teachers of color, would that help with the problem above? Genuinely curious on the data as to whether this is still true in predominantly black schools or not. Like is it really the teachers or is it top down super racist to the point where the…

My grade school was hella racist and DEFINITELY punished black kids way more often than anyone else. I remember we had mandatory quiet time where we had to put our heads under a jacket with the lights off for 20 minutes. Without fail when the teacher softly asked us to all raise our heads, she would immediately yell…

well the point that gets made is that reverse racism is a way for minorities to systematically oppress and hold down white people. Which...Maybe there are people out there doing that, but whenever reverse racism is invoked it’s NEVER that thing. In my experience it’s just been a white person getting told that they…

are we allowed to respond? I’m never sure on this site so I usually just lurk...

I went to the hospital fairly recently as well. My left arm went numb and I had telltale symptoms of a heart attack. I was 30 years old. The doctor told me I was fine and having a panic attack, plus I had pretty bad acid reflux as well. I am somewhat better but seriously considering therapy these days. Stay strong…

People really notice, and while people who explicitly call it out are a minority, it’s a majority that have pejorative thoughts and feelings around height. I’m 5'9" which I never thought was short, but I’m in a city full of 6'+ people and I remember having a lot of problems in the dating world. And this coming from a…

I think flirting is fun, harmless, and healthy. I would not mind at all if my wife got a little flirty with other people. She, on the other hand, is totally against it. She’s aware I have a certain level of unconscious or muscle memory flirting that I have to check myself, and she will point it out but not get too…

because of your image, I am now imagining Mueller saying that and I’m laughing now.

tag me as disgusted. I didn’t have the stomach to finish reading. I hope these women get justice and this motivates other directors to shape up.

Also: Jennifer Connelly. Mmmmmmm :-)

Ask SK about that. They wouldn’t agree with that sentiment. I don’t think anyone agrees with that. They lack the numbers, and without US intervention, they lack the armaments.

I caught your joke and laughed.

I don’t totally agree with this. Like people, some dogs love to have a buddy and some don’t. My girl definitely makes it known she gets priority time with me, but I’ll tell you that she loves my boy and my boy would be lost without her. The only competition my girl sees is my wife. She has started to become buddy…

I have two tiny dogs that don’t add up to a single full sized dog. Hence probably why I experienced this so much. Dogs are great in pairs though.

I was told (this is not my opinion and I don’t condone stereotyping) that it means you’re married or gay. I’ve been told this by many people at the dog park so I tend to believe it’s a common stereotype (but again, I don’t condone it).

Yeah I have a Yorkie and a Yorkie mix. The mix was a shelter dog who did not get along with anyone except my dog, so they’re inseparable now.
