Not being an asshole is probably the most important element when you have complicated “racial” identity.

Identity can not be narrowed down to simple parameters. It’s a lot more complicated than that. Race is a social construct. Racism and the experience of being an ethnic minority is very real. It’s not just who claims you, it’s who rejects you too.

I am white looking half “black” (Southern Black which means a lot of…

We wouldn’t want someone like that performing for him anyway.

Your work sounds familiar to me. Was it ever used at medical conventions in a kiosk? In which case, you are a genius and shouldn’t have to take a stupid coding test.

My degree is in information systems and I have mainly worked on interactive kiosks and integrating peripheral devices. My response to the test was “I am…

I’m not familiar with that one. Back in the days when floppy disks were bigger than your head?

That’s why I dropped out of the interview process before the coding test. If that’s the kind of work that developers do at Amazon, it’s not for me.

Get her out of here!

ARGH that’s awful!

Ah ha ha ha ha

I don’t think that Maeve 100% knows who is human and who isn’t. That seemed fairly obvious to me.

Maybe they will pretend to care about other pipelines going through Indian land and many of the other economic disasters effecting the…

Voting is only one of the ripples that make a wave.

Next stop, Split Rock. I would provide a link but I will be darned if nobody is reporting on this.

In Thailand, they attach spray hoses to modern toilets like the ones you have at your sink. Or there is a bucket of water next to the toilet, even the ones you have to squat over. That way you don’t have to worry about getting poop on it. I mean, the nozzle may retract but all you need is one explosive...oh, never…

OMG, that too. Does hearing and sense of smell come together? I had an apartment where the bedroom was in the basement right next to the water pump which turned on and off all night long because there were leaks somewhere in the building. On my first night there, I thought some clean freak was just vacuuming all of…
