What are you trying to say here? You absolutely can judge historical figures by modern standards. There is nothing inherently wrong in doing so as long as you recognize that today’s standards did not inform the motivations and the actions of the historical figure.

Kelly’s appointment as Chief of Staff was approved by Bannon and it’s now obvious why Bannon liked Kelly. Between this and other instances of Kelly endorsing white nationalist policies I think it’s clear that Kelly is a white nationalist. He might not identify that way, but that’s what he is.

The core problem is a lack of variety. There is a lot less to do in Destiny 2 relative to Age of Triumph Destiny. To some extent that’s to be expected. Destiny 2 was never going to launch with the 4 raids AoT had available or the dozen or so strikes. But Destiny 2 limits variety further by excluding relatively simple…

It doesn’t disadvantage your son.

I don’t think an official legacy server is a good idea.

No one is asking the moderately rich to give up everything they worked for. No one is asking the obscenely rich to give up everything they worked for either.

There’s the obvious ones like Social Security and Medicare, though they have their own specific taxes so it’s fair to consider them separately. That middle class family may not need either, but they will certainly benefit from them.

The New York Times is operating under the delusion that Republicans have an ideology beyond reactionary white male supremacy. They hire shamelessly partisan hacks to churn out evidence-free contrarian opinion pieces because it’s important to the “discourse”.

It’s the result of mainstream political pieces being mostly written by upper class people. Whether lean left or lean right, opinion pieces are predominately centrist. It reflects the desire of the opinion writer to, more or less, maintain the status quo that has benefited them so conspicuously.

Tucker Carlson is a lickspittle. He knows full well that accuracy isn’t particularly relevant when firing into a densely packed crowd of unsuspecting concert goers from an elevated and concealed position.

Thank you for sharing the version with the research included. I had not been aware that he had in text links for his citations and I understand your position a lot better now. That said, I don’t think these sources help his manifesto but I would agree it was unfair not to update the story when they were made available.

In what sense does this article label Damore a monster? It’s mocking him, but he made a really dumb tweet that deserves to be mocked.

You are completely misrepresenting Area Fif-Tee Juan’s post. Juan did not read the whole manifesto, believes there are citations when there aren’t, implies that this was all a miscommunication, and asks us to give a break to Damore because maybe he accidentally produced a misogynistic 10 page rant and then followed up…

Name the studies that he cites that defend his point.

You are misrepresenting his argument. It’s not “things that typically interest women” it’s “women biologically aren’t interested in programming”. This is the underlying basis for his entire manifesto and he provides no scientific backing for that claim. The issue here is that Damore believes that, on a biological…

Can you provide the sources that he named? I just looked through the thing again and I don’t see any scientific papers or studies that form the basis for his assertion that women are biologically unsuited to programming work. In case you didn’t actually look, his footnotes are not sources, just additional commentary.

I read the manifesto, he doesn’t provide scientific evidence for his claim that women are biologically inferior at programming. He barely provides any citations or references at all and his footnotes are entirely commentary.

Cassidy lied because he knows he’ll get away with it. CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post will dilute his betrayal of the public with moronic reporting that treats the health and well being of millions as background filler before the horse race.

The height for me was someone comparing the climax of Planescape Torment’s story with the opening of Dragon Age 2. Why not compare Citizen Kane’s climax with Iron Man 2's opening 10 minutes? Why not compare the fighting ability of prime age Mohammed Ali with a ten year old boxer? This meme was all over the place and…

There are checkpoints, typically after a boss or extended fight/puzzle sequence. So, you can do like the first half and then the second half later or whatever. There was some confusion about the checkpoints with this raid, not sure what the deal is, but Bungie confirmed there are in fact checkpoints still.
