This is *without question* the most fair way to do this. I am flabbergasted by people thinking she is somehow getting persecuted here. If she was competing against literally everyone, of course there wouldn’t be a problem, but she’s not. She is competing in a restricted division (women’s) with hormone levels that do…

As ever in these articles, it seems relevant to mention that Semenya has testes.

Let’s just go ahead and ignore reason for gendered sporting events. That certainly has no relevance here!

It is also built-in to our legal system in a number of ways. There is logic to that structure, but it still strikes me as ... odd every time I see it.

The self hating whites are the most shitty/pathetic I’ve found. Work on your life. 

I enjoy that within hours we have a post about the Lakers’ disaster season and Anthony Davis’ disaster season.

Magic’s Failure Turns Pelican Into Albatross In Loss To Magic

I really don’t understand why he’s insisting on playing. the risk of catastrophic injury is not good for either party. 

I’m not superstitious, but if you are, cover your ears:

Well, no one to blame except LeBron’s employees.

Honest question, why does it seem like there are suddenly so many instances of food allergies and autism the past decade? From elementary up I can’t ever recall hearing about either or being told not to bring a PB&J to school because of allergies.

You hit on one reason, in part the increase is because the definition has changed as we’ve learned more and a change in the definition in the late 90s drastically increased the number of people being diagnosed without increasing the actual number. However once that’s taken into account autism is still growing and…

It’s the mental equivelent of shitting in the middle of a store, you only get to if you’re a child or clearly mentally handicaped, otherwise people are going to yell.

I’m well aware of it’s flaws. Good luck with removing it or changing people’s mindset. Also, once the shareholder system is removed, how do you propose companies achieve growth. And if one country removes the main way it receives growth what do you propose to do when all the other countries who will never outlaw this…

The problem isn’t making money. Activision made a TON of money last year.

“Currently staffing levels on some teams are out of proportion with our current release slate. This means we need to scale down some areas of our organization. I’m sorry to share that we will be parting ways with some of our colleagues in the U.S. today. In our regional offices, we anticipate similar evaluations,…

This is the end-result of late stage capitalism.  You are accountable only to investors, and no one else.  Profit is meaningless if there isn’t growth; you can make 1 billion dollars one year, and the next year make 990 million, and instead of people being happy you made a ton of money, they instead accuse you of…

i’ve worked in the financial industry, at various fortune 500 companies, for 20 years and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA.

seriously though, it works like this: no matter how profitable you are, if you don’t meet expectations (which may or may not be reasonable), then your stock price takes a hit. the quickest way to give it a…

More or less, I think “full potential” means the company just prints money while not paying anyone outside of the top execs and shareholders.

lol what? you must have missed them play each other in the finals twice in the 2000s.
