Jason, I’ve been a developer on more than one of these types of monolithic ambitious-but-aimless projects that eventually lurches over the finish line (late). You’ve gone through months (or years) of very real suffering to get it to that point, and when it arrives, you’re embarrassed at what’s been put out. It’s…

lepin is both bad (as in, not manufactured as well) and a bunch of intellectual property thieves. Recommending it is pretty shitty.

No. The middling Clinton strategy has gotten us in to this mess. No thank you.

Bungie is turning into the Sam Bradford of videogames. Get various teams to throw $$$$$$$$ at you for broken injured messes because your college/first game were outstanding.

I don’t know Lawrence Krauss personally, nor the particulars of this case, but this #MeToo stuff has gone way too far. It has most of the trappings of a New England Witch Hunt. Society has changed and not necessarily in a good way. Katherine Deneuve is right about this new moral prudery. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but…

He’s just like all the rest of the atheist dudebros: he uses it as a smokescreen for being abusive and selfish.

Atheist dudebros? Seriously?

On the flip side, have you wondered how many Hitlers, Stalins, Maos, Trumps (bazinga) were killed in the Holocaust?

‘vast majority of records we have of past societies are records created by patriarchal societies’ funny that isn’t it, because they WERE patriarchal societies. I guess all the matriarchal societies just couldn’t be bothered to write anything down. That or there is a mass conspiracy over the millennia and all the…

You should ask yourself why, in your own words, “the vast majority of records we have of past societies are records created by patriarchal societies”. It´s because, historically, they have been the norm. Matraichy is just an exception.

WOAH! Dude. Okay let’s go over a few things.

So... ostracizing people for trying to create discussion around controversial issues? Great idea. Note my sarcasm.

*Guy says things supported by actual science.*

Kind of glossing the whole being fired from Google and being publicly shamed nationwide thing a little, aren’t you?

So you got a guy fired for saying he’ll be fired for even considering a thought that is not in line with groupthink, and now you expect us to believe that a joke about masturbation was sexist?

He was just fired. Is that danger enough for you?

It’s not the same as being a firefighter, but it’s a high status-high stress job. There are dangers involved. And for him, the danger includes respectfully stating his honest opinion and being labeled and ridiculed for it.

claiming men and women are biologically different and that biologically leads to behavior isn’t sexist. Unless you’re redefining the term. And nothing he said was racist.

“Racist/Sexist”: Canned responses that folks use when presented with a real, nuanced, discussion on a complex issue that they are not equipped to have.

Summarily dismissing the screed as being “anti-diversity” is exactly the problem it was outlining. Ms. Conger, it’s difficult to have discussions with people that prefer to affix labels out of some misguided sense of moral superiority. Listening to other perspectives, whether you agree with them or not, is just part…
