From the government not being able to mine their parents data of course… Its the number one thing that turns kids to drugs, dont you know?

He can go fuck himself. “Dems are the good guys!!!” Fuck off. This isnt about protecting kids. Its about tracking, profiling and data collection. No doubt to sell to 3rd parties. Fuck all these cunts who push this shit.

Jesus christ, dude. He obviously means “according to the google search I did!”. This isnt reddit, please dont be pedantic.

On Windows would have to restart when I wanted to Print Something.

Im no lover of Windows, but this one is 100% on you, bro beans.

Im not mixing anything up. Just because you call it a different name, doesnt change what it is. Racism.

What seems to be happening is that a lot of people, yourself included, seem to think that the answer to past discrimination is more discrimination. And in case you all missed it, Trump has been voted in not once, but twice, because a very large group of people felt the deck being stacked against them.

Outside of that, you look to things like Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and other media franchises, were the mantra “Male and pale is stale” was openly said around their production over the past decade. The result is that young men and boys and all but abandoned those things. Because they are sick of being told that being straight, white and male is a bad thing. Its so bad, that Disney is now looking for another franchise to buy because they have no idea how to get genz and younger bums back on seats. And further to that, in social media world in general, the hate and generalisation of straight white males has gotten so bad that around the world young boys are increasingly being taken in by right wingers who dont treat them like rapists and abusers. Its almost like all this over correction has come back to bite everyone on the ass…

Black, white, gay, straight, man, woman, and everyone in between should be judged on just one thing. Their ability to do that job. If your the best person for the job, you should get it. End of. Once you start making excuses, once you start excluding people, you start making enemies. The only way to make sure that black people have the same start in life, if to make sure there is money and access to education that allows them to take control of their own lives, and puts them on a level playfield. Then you dont need to lower standards, or make excuses, or discriminate at all. You just hire the best person for the job, and you go about your day.

I didnt answer that because what Im saying has exactly nothing to do with slavery. Im talking about early 1900s, when the boom started.

Let me be CRYSTAL fucking clear. FUCK DEI!!! ITs a racist and sexist program that solves not a fucking thing. It just moves the goal posts of discrimination. I cant fucking fart loud enough to say how much I want that shit gone. Just because the Orange prick said the same thing, doesnt make it wrong. FUCK DEI!

Sure it does.

Wells Fargo, Bank of America (then Bank of Italy and later Bank of America National Trust & Savings), J.P. Morgan / Chase Manhattan Bank, Prudential Insurance Company, FHA (Federal Housing Administration), all have details records showing their part in systemic racism that made sure the black families couldnt get a mortgage, even when they were on the same financial footing as white families.

National Association of Real Estate Boards (NAREB), Levitt & Sons (builder of Levittown, NY & PA), Chicago Real Estate Board, St. Louis Real Estate Exchange, Los Angeles Realty Board, enforced segregation through racial covenants, steering, and blockbusting.

It wouldnt be until the Fair Housing Act(1968) that this practice was made illegal.

Will be easy? No. Can it be done? Most likely, as long as you are OK with banks and real estate agencies and uber rich who profited getting fucked so hard they bounce. Should it be done? In my opinion, yes. America is race. And black families were held back on the starting line on purpose.

Yes it is. I know the culture war disagrees with anything and everything that pissing all over DEI, but thats exactly what it is. You cant correct past or future mistakes that way. You either hire/recruit based on merit, or you dont. Theres no in between.

The case was brought by Marlean Ames against the Ohio Department of Youth Services, where she started working in 2004. In 2019, she applied for a promotion, but was turned down and a colleague with less seniority—who was a lesbian woman—received the promotion instead. Ames was later demoted and her previous role was given to another colleague who had less seniority, a gay man.

I’m sure readers saw the title of this article and thought “what!? White straight men are the most represented group in businesses!” Nonetheless, an employment tribunal in the United Kingdom recently held that a strong candidate was deliberately not hired because he was a white, heterosexual male. See Furlong v Chief Constable of Cheshire Police, Case No. 2405577/2018 (U.K.).

It would be a mistake to conclude that discrimination based on sex, race, or sexual orientation only goes one way. I have loads of examples in the US and elsewhere, of “positive discrimination” by bad actors. And even more, where its clear as fuck, it was only something they were doing to wash their shitty reputations.

What about the people who make DEI a condition of getting money? Im all for equality etc, but Im 100% against people getting preferential treatment/consideration because of what they look like, have between their legs, or who they love. More often than not, these programs are little more than boxticking to wash the public profile. See Activision for example.

We keep on talking about racism in hiring, but never actually address the main issue in places like the US, which is that historic racism set black families back half a centaury in terms of wealth accumulation. This in turn has limited access to higher education, which limits the ability to compete in the market against an over whelming white population that has had access. The way forward seems to have been clear for a very long time, reparations. Any families that were held back through systemic racism, should be getting money from the banks and companies that discriminated against black families, causing multiple generations of inequality. Levelling up families allows them to send their kids to better schools, grow up in better areas, and compete in the work place at an equal level.

This cherry picking, and surface level tokenism does not work. It has worked for the past 50 years, and a new approach is needed. One that isnt just “You need a random black face in your team.”. Actual real, and lasting change, cant happen that way. The change needs to be at the roots of the issue. And that means money going to families, that gives their kids better access to education and to making friends too. As a lot of their future will also be “Not what you know, who you know.”.

I got a z flip 4 the other week for 90 quid off ebay. Was in perfect condition, and it felt nice in the hand. Liked the big screen, all that stuff. They I started running into the Samsung customised OS. It took less than a day to piss me off so much I gave it away.

Samsung make really nice phones, but then ruin them with their custom OS and bloat.

Ive hated logitech for a while. Looks like my opinion of them wont be changing any time soon. I get no longer supporting products, but bricking them? And then giving a 15% off coupon for some products that they could later brick as well? Youd have to be a right fucking mug to buy anything logitech after this.

but EU regulators counter that it unfairly shuts out rivals.

I kinda have to say “so?”. Its apples phone, apples software, etc etc etc. Why should they allow others onto their store? If they want to, great. But why should they before forced to? Its not like its a monopoly, anyone else is free to make their own phone and software at any time. I dont really get this idea that apple has to let other people into its house, or that that if they did it would make things better.

Never said she was fired for pro nouns, mate. Said she was fired because she was highlighting the abuse she was getting on twitter, in really dumb way. The fact she was posting a lot of nonsense, had nothing to do with it.

Gina got fired because she was pointing out that she was getting rape and death threats over not putting pro nouns in her bio. All that all twitter did was delete them. Carr made remarks, but he had no power to do anything. Thats why there is no legal document or order. Because it would be illegal. So the drawing of a conclusion here would be an error. There was no “threat”. It would be like me threating you to stop posting here. I have no power to force that to happen. I can say it as much as I want, but who be right to just point and laugh at me.

In any case, it doesnt matter. Its all the same shit with the same arguments, and same “well actually, this is different because…”. Gina was right to draw attention to her online attacks, and disney was right to be want to be associated with the way that she went about it, as I think we can all agree it was dumb as fuck to use Jewish people in the analogy. In any analogy in fact.

In the case of Kimmel, hes just not funny. And I wouldnt be surprised if this just all turned out to be just a way to get out of the late night talkshow game by ABC, without breaking any contracts.

I tell ya, its fucking hilarious seeing the right and left switching sides on this. Back when Gina Carano got fired, the right were all “Cancel disney plus!!!” and the left were like “Freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences!!!”. And now its the left crying about free speech, and the right circlejerking “consequences”.

Humanity is fucked.

No, the spreading of hate was the talking heads who told you he said things he never said. All the grifters and influencers and main stream news outlets who cherry picked the things he said, to make him look much worse than he is.

Like when he said that people accept that people die so they can have the 2A. You think thats extremism, yet dont ever bother to repeat the rest of what he said, when talking about the shit that society puts up with to have things. Like cars, we accept that 50k people a year will die because we want to drive cars. Its the same argument, but you take it away and all of sudden hes some nutjob claiming kids dying is a good thing.

Take away the 2A and you are at the mercy of a tyrannical government. The price of that safe guard is that some people will die. Exact same thing with cars, and knives, and whatever else. Everything has a cost. EVERYTHING. That was his point. And youd be dumb to disagree with it.

You can argue that we dont need guns, theres nothing wrong with that. But the logic is there.

With words, you dopy twat. You can watch Kirk right now, getting his ass handed to him in debate on youtube. Stop acting like murder is the only option you have.
