It’s a game of chicken. Whomever blinks first loses and starts a further escalation.

Any new information or events happening by the cause of his death. Also any corrections

The people who create for the sake of creativity are not doing it to be flashy or attract anyone or anything. The internet had a groundswell of people who want to make money, so here we are

That’s the thing. I’m not replying to you specifically. I don’t think you’re going to change. Chances are most people like you don’t.

I’m replying to educate all of the onlookers. What this guy did sucks and here’s why. And this is what you do about it.

Asking people to think by riding the line of just asking a question is pretty lame. If you want people to think, don’t bury that. The method you employ is the same disingenuous tactic to defend the other side.

What if the Russians did the same? They didn’t and it’s not on the table. They’ve already made up a war and prolonged for multiple years in an attempt to kill off and reclaim Ukraine

“Just asking a question”, is a form of statement.

You can say this about any change, or innovation - vaccines, democracy, the Internet, psychology.

If you want to push it completely into a political only view, why should we not become an isolationist nation, which steals but never contributes back?

Depends on the perception. If people see the company as weird or wasteful, it can hurt the company. Think of all the negative press companies get. It’s not rational, but it exists and companies fight to minimize those sort of things.

Breaking those types of leases and selling those types of buildings off or not trivial. They will need to figure out a way to ease out of the market, but until then, this is the way they rationalize it

Except if you have prosthetics. Then you’re man and machine

I’ve been using Google brand phones since the g1. The Nexus 4 and the pixel 7 were the worst build qualities. The screen on the seven fell off three times and then finally died. I’ve switched to a Samsung.

Say you make a new invention. Are you going to give it a name, or are you going to use a description each time?

What about if you have kids. Are you going to name your kid a long winded description of their lineage, or something short?

It’s descriptive. Do you want to use paragraphs to name a group of similar people, or a word? " The people born between x and y exhibiting these behaviors and traits, or have been imprinted by these traits, though it is not as strict rule," or “generation x.”

And yes, we are also allowed to critique people based off of these things. It’s how life works. It’s how we grow and change.

I’m likely older than you and there’s always been generational name calling and judging.

If supporting the art, supports the artist, who actively supports a bad cause, I do not. JKR and anything that furthers the anti-trans movement can go screw. If someone co-opts something, then it’s trickier, but I expect the original artist to help when they can and support them directly, like Marvel’s Punisher.

I don’t know y’all, and when people interact, there’s no true community here. I’ll probably not remember most of your names, similar to reddit, digg, slashdot, etc etc…

You’re talking in circles. The problem is because men are the largest perpetrator, well also being the biggest benefactor of being a man. They are literally on both ends. Women on the other hand are largely targeted by men for crimes of various sorts, well also not benefiting from the patriarchy.

Hell they have to have separate train cars for women in japan because men can’t keep their hands to themselves.

There is nothing societal that benefits black drivers. That’s exactly the point. There is no equity here. If I’m a black driver, chances are I’m already on the back foot. People might cancel their rides once they see me, or bring cops into play and have other violence brought against me. Remember that one black dude in Central Park who was bird watching and had a woman start accusing him of stuff.

Don’t put women further on the back foot. Don’t put persons of color on the back foot. Cis white men already have the advantage in so many ways.

It’s not funny anymore.

That guy thinks affirmative action is discrimination. When you argue with a fool, you both look foolish. 😔

Marry me. Feels like so many people here miss the point.

So I’m guessing affirmative action is discrimination?
