Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 12:27:47 JST Anime Wong @PurpCat Another name someone should add to the list would be that guy from good (who's name I can't remember now). He wrote some memo basically saying that the culture in google is hostile to men, and especially White men, and that he's like to see that change. They then fired, and last I saw, he still didn't have a solid job. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 12:27:46 JST Anime Wong @PurpCat Thanks, that's his name, and did he really? That was over a decade ago, it's wild to think Fong's name was going around back then too. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 12:27:44 JST Anime Wong @PurpCat It's unbelievable how deep this rabbit hole goes. I remember feeling bad for Damore at the time, but thinking it was just a lot of noise and of very little substance passed him getting fired without much recourse. I had no idea so many big names were a part of that. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 12:27:42 JST Anime Wong @PurpCat >back when you could still meet interesting people online without having to break past a facade
I miss this version of the internet so much.
Yeah, I've experience the fatigue of the "diversity meeting" myself, and I otherwise have a pass around this stuff in several ways. It's to weed people out, pure and simple. No one believes these meetings make people less racist, or that it makes for a more harmonious work environment. Just the opposite is true. The most comfortable work environment I've been in was this time when I was working with a bunch of ex-military guys. They were loud, they were "racist", and yet none of it was really mean. What I realized was that once someone joking calls you a chink to your face, or makes fun of the black guy, suddenly there's not a lot that you can say that will permanently severe your relationship. You can get in an argument, fume about it for a few hours, and them cool off and rejoin.
They hold these meetings, bombard you with this crap, because they know that the average conservative will self-delete if you force them into enough meetings, and they make an example of the ones who get a little too loud about it. The ones who do stick around won't say a peep because they're afraid. It isolates people, it makes you feel stifled and afraid. The more ridiculous it is, the stronger the effect is. That's why MS had their hosts describe the color of their boxers, it wasn't because they believed it would help the blind feel more included (how tf is a totally blind person going to know what maroon looks like, how many totally blind people even work at MS?). Someone knew it was crazy and over the top, and they also knew that it would further silence everyone. They'll think this are too far gone, that nothing they said will change anything, that they're just one person.
It's frustrating that the average Conservative will "run away" when he is not wanted, instead of finding more effective ways to fight back against this. You mentioned O'keef, he's a great example of a way to fight back against this because in most cases it's risk free so long as everyone is careful. Even if someone slips up, the consequences are not completely massive.
I think this is what drives me nuts more than anything. If a few good men had the guts to actually take a stance against this, we wouldn't be in this situation. Instead it's as though everyone told themselves "it wouldn't be a problem, someone else will deal with it". Well, no one did. -

I don't know what he meant by faked. I assumed at the time he meant she had someone use inspect element to makes an interactive report that looked real, or something like that. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 11-Apr-2024 10:57:19 JST Anime Wong @PraxisOfEvil “It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"
"What?"
"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"
"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."
Ford shrugged again. "Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happened to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it."
"But that's terrible," said Arthur.
"Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.” -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 28-Mar-2024 23:50:13 JST Anime Wong @sickburnbro I think women are exceptionally good at thinking in first person. They're overly empathetic for that reason. -

Food and housing would be cheap, I imagine, especially if you went to live on a colony. It seems like the only things that have value is anything with any sort of novelty, and I'm not sure what people would trade to obtain it, or how they would go about to obtain it, since it's suppose to be some sort of Randian society where people work for fun or something. -

It's not socialist because labor is not required and resources are not divided. It's a post scarcity society. -

I look at it similar to how Asians were treated in the US during the early 1900's. Asians in California were treated quite bad, while they weren't in Texas. The reason for the discrepancy is that the Chinese in California were competing for resources among Californians, while the Japanese in Texas were there to farm rice, something no Texans were doing at the time. The Japanese were not stepping on Texan toes, and so were largely welcomed in Texas.
Racism is a product of competition. When two groups are competing for the same resources, they'll fight. When they aren't, they likely get along. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 21-Mar-2024 07:15:37 JST Anime Wong @HyperboreanWave It seems like such a non-issue to me. Like, what percentage of loli anime out there in comparison to all other anime? I don't think it's very common, it's an extremely niche thing, and the most likely reason anyone knows about it is mostly because of other people crying about it.
What I think they're really complaining about is how openly sexual anime is. Japan, till recently, was a lot more cool with nudity (both sexual and non-sexual), and most of these shows are targeted towards the young adult audience. It's would be like saying books like Twilight are lolicon, or that an adult is a pedo for reading it. In that sense, it feels like well poisoning to me. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Mar-2024 00:06:23 JST Anime Wong @Griffith @Vril_Oreilly @BowsacNoodle @Paultron @Spingebill I think the question is "why hasn't Russia sent out a call to Americans to immigrate to Russia". They could provide for basic stuff to help offset the cost of moving out into the Russian Frontier. Japan, for example, has done something like this, albeit for Japanese citizens. Basically, they have a lot of farmland that's being depopulated or are abandoned. If you agree to move into these rural areas and work in agriculture, the Japanese government would help cover the cost, including making the house and land super cheap (but I can't remember the specific details for the arrangement).
