@VaxxSabbath @epictittus @flux_the_cat It's actually fascinating that biology has long been the "goofy head" on the scientific hydra, because they really do have a much stronger grasp of statistics and probability. The whole world is trending towards data science and deep learning models, the rest of the guys are basically out in the cold on this one.

@sickburnbro It's just, I'm not convinced writing books is a replacement for extracurricular activities. I'm okay with people writing books, I encourage it, but that does not mean people cannot at the same time engage in lawfare and take their shit back. All they do is play defense, and so they do nothing but lose ground.

@sickburnbro "Why don't you write books for boys?!?!"

Why doesn't someone take power in the Boy Scouts and kick out all the gays and girls?

@LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 I never watched it actually. When it was first on, I really didn't care about star wars, and I didn't know the series ran until 2020. It was actually the newer trilogy that convinced me to look at the older stuff, and the contrast between them was crazy. Something that bothers me about series like Kotor is that in theory you can have independent stories set whenever, but everyone feels more locked into telling the same story over and over.

@LukeAlmighty @RehnSturm256 kotor 2 will be the last good star wars thing. It was the last gasp, the last time it had writers who both understood the setting and understood how to tell new stories in it with interesting characters.

I think Jarred Taylor needs a hug.

@deprecated_ii Indian teachers with ridiculously thick accents is probably the biggest cause.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@sickburnbro @justnormalkorean @Dan_Hulson @yockeypuck @HeliRides3000 @CatLord @AngryWraith @dowitcher This was years ago, so I don't remember the specifics. 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.

@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.”
