Maybe we're still experiences the growing pains of having a corporate culture with a lot of both women and men? It seems odd though if that's still the case, after all these years.

Can DragonflyBSD be good for using it as a desktop for programming and such? I've tried to google if BSD OSs are good for that purpose, but it seems like they might be better suited as servers and such, and you're better off using

> that being said, i in no way blame america for making it hard for people of arab descent who spent any serious amount of time immersed in that culture. i would do the same. You seem eager to kiss the hand that slaps you.

Maybe if a lot of talent moves from where I am to the US, I can negotiate higher prices where I already am. Sounds like a plan. :)

That sounds awesome. Just from my own experience, having some intermittent activity throughout a day can help a lot. Walks can help for small breaks, and then you can maybe go for a jog during lunch, and maybe a jog/cycle for coming to

Is this where someone points out the more functional intermediate SSA that imperative languages often get translated into at some point during the compilation?

I know what you mean. I once wanted to play as a pansexual elf/dwarf voyeurist who lives in a tree trunk together with minotaurs. Unfortunately my action-rpg only had two preset characters that were close to that, so I had to settle fo

First you'd have to motivate why a person should quit to begin with. I haven't seen any indication that being addicting is bad in itself.

That wasn't mentioned, so why would you ask that?

> , I had originally written "white, middle class, males", but then decided that wasn't useful specificity in this particular conversation. Yeah, it's not always on topic to bring up some kind of Privilege Bingo.

I remember playing PlayStation games with a friend when I was a kid, and he always seemed to pick a woman character to play if he could. So apparently there were enough woman characters in those games for that to stand out.

You haven't used the word "female" anywhere that I can see. :)

Why do you indicate "men" as "males", but "women" as "women" and not "females"? Seems odd.

Whether or not an argument is popular or not[1] has no bearing on whether it is correct or well-informed. But it's cool of you to dismiss my arguments by implying that I would be a social pariah. [1] I'm guessing you are implying

My bad. I thought "racial profiling" was more generic and not about law enforcement in particular. I meant "racial profiling" as in all everyday racism that is motivated by other people being suspicious, cautious and act

Curious that you chose the cop analogy. Overzealous cops who go into any situation with the assumption that someone might be a perp (and especially certain races) are a problem in certain parts of the world. And they aren't looked at f

Obviously the comparison is far from perfect. But to my knowledge, if a strange man approached strange woman in SA, he could get in trouble for that. There are expectations and restrictions on both sexes, which ultimately leads to the situa

Her attitude and what happened are two separate things. Given that she isn't lying, it doesn't matter what her opinion on interacting with strange men are (radical as they are). It doesn't change what happened to her.

It's considered harassment because they (or at least one of them) were her superiors. The problem is the power dynamic.
