Fucken this. I work in tech and up until my current job, people are always surprised I’m a black dude because I have a “white” enough sounding name and I went to schools that look good enough on paper, even though I dropped out. I always walk in knowing I’m qualified, but employers’ discomfort seeing me face to face…

Where is the evidence that companies are hiring based solely based on being part of some protected group? You keep bringing this up, but it’s just not happening. THAT is why everyone is saying you’re telling on yourself

Then why put forth the hypothetical?

They always tell on themselves. It could never be that there are plenty of qualified POC that desire these positions. POC that are passed over because of an “ethnic” sounding name or because leadership in the states is largely a good ol boy’s club. POC that have been purposely excluded from such circles for…

What makes you think that there’s a lack of qualified POC leadership? Why would they have to pass over a white dude to hire minorities?

+1. I bought my first Miata about 5 years ago. I had this idea that I was going to modify the crap out of it, but I just had so much fun driving it that I never got around to doing anything other than routine maintenance. I’ve spent hours drifting figure eights in warehouse parking lots. 

A nice frame will make anything look nice. Thanks!

What a relief. I actually hated leveling BC and LK content when you’d have to grind 1-80. 80+ in Cata and Pandaria weren’t too terrible though. Still, I would basically queue dungeons and PVP and level that way on all my alts. It seems like there doing a lot of QoL changes to the game. I almost want to play again

what would I search to get such a thing? I love it!

That’s sort of my reasoning as well, but I’d leave this to a shop. No way I’d take this on myself

I wanted to roll the dice on this one, but I just can’t do it. It’s just too gross looking and who knows what else needs to be done. I’m sure a decently competent shop could take this and fix it up no problem, but for an individual without any professional equipment, this looks like a nightmare project. ND

What you consider left and what left actually is are 2 separate things. We don’t have much left wing governance in this country, despite most of the ideas being favorable to, at any point, ~40% of the population based on statistics. What we do have is a lot of neoliberals (right wing, Democratic party), a lot of…

Guns aren’t a right wing thing at all, American sensibilities be damned

For me, crowded places in movies and games stress me out because I’ve nearly forgotten what it’s like to be within 6 feet of someone due to COVID. Watching people hug on TV freaks me out for a moment every time.

Oooo this loctite bit is good to know

This is the point I came to make. Most of what they’re saying is lip service. They don’t care who they sell to, whether it’s bots, real people, or scalpers. They get their money regardless

Prior Design won me over with their C207 kit back when I was considering an E550 coupe. They do (well) what masonry thinks they’re doing

I’m not sure many people did. Corporations and our neoliberal/conservative governments seem to largely act in spite of the will of the people rather than with/for us. Still, nothing new

Half my friends are on PC, half on xbox. I play very different games on both, even though for the most part I’d be able to pick one or the other (especially with gamepass). I’d only get PS5 for single player exclusives. Most of my time on PC, however, is spent on work. Sometimes the last thing I want to do after a…

Sometimes I just wanna sit on a fucken couch and game instead of sitting at the same machine that I also use for work.
