Im the token asian in a chinese film?
You're just an internet trawl. You can never understand my true sardinic wit. All you do is flounder about, until your final deepfeet at the finally. You silly old trout.
Don't water down the comments with puns. You're out of your depth.
Man, I had never heard of this before! Looks abysmal.
that has a cult following already
If you celebrate Thanksgiving, please let your family know that one of things you're grateful for this holiday season is that you don't have diseased limbs falling off and walking away.... No explanation needed
And Leslie Smith showed this weekend exactly why you should immediately care for this condition:
For the last year and a half, sea stars all along North America's Pacific coast - from Baja California all the way…
Here's a distillation of what you've proposed: You think a person's achievements should buy them out of social contracts.
So let's explore this. What would you have to accomplish before you'd be free to kick a cat? At what point could you stop paying your taxes? Would attaining cold fusion win you the right to molest a…
'If he'd been gay and worn the one with the cowboys people would be slapping him on his back for being proud of his life style choice.'
Ohhhhh no. I doubt that very much. In that event, in a typical tech environment, we might sight that rare, elusive animal: sexually intimidated heterosexual men.
It's not just the shirt. The shirt is just emblematic of a larger trend in the sciences that treats women poorly. It's the shirt, and advisers that have somehow never graduated a woman, and a pay gap, and profiles of female scientists focusing on their gender, and men preying on women at conferences, and this list…
That's a kind of weird suggestion, I think. It totally decontextualizes the situation. In a more perfect world, a shirt like this wouldn't have the power to hurt people. I agree with that much. Likewise, in a more perfect world gendered, racial or homophobic slurs wouldn't have the power to hurt people because they…
No, if he were a gay man or a straight woman his supervisor would have immediately come out and said, "Don't wear that to work it's not appropriate. You're making everyone uncomfortable." and sent them home to change. Workplace dress codes are typically stricter for women than men.
It wasn't a single straw that broke the camel's back either. That is the nature of microaggressions — they are constant, they accumulate, and individually they are not usually something easily addressed, so stopping them involves addressing the culture that spawns them.
Yes. His team got there and that truly is amazing. That is something that we as humans should celebrate, and we are! This is a huge HUGE moment for all of us.
Your question has multiple related-yet-distinct elements:
You were doing so good at making your point until you threw in the needless insult to those you disagree with. I'm leaving your comment as it's more generalized than personally attacking, but if others are wondering where the line is of what I'm willing to tolerate to maintain a civil discussion: this is it. You can…
All of those hypothetical situations would have still been inappropriate work attire.
It actually doesn't matter at all. You can love his shirt, hate it, want it, or wonder why anyone would ever wear it. None of those opinions makes it work-appropriate for a global televised science event intended for broadcast into educational settings. It isn't a matter of taste. It's a matter of appropriateness for…
