The fact that you’re trying to read the tea leaves on gp’s post rather than discuss them correctly calling out the DEI corporate scam tells all you need to know about the bad faith of this discussion.

Gp is making no such assumption of motives. Lots of people actively peddle scams while believing in the product. For a less controversial example, MLMs.

No, there’s absolutely no proof that racial diversity directly benefits a company. I searched HARD for the evidence. Lots of articles claim it is true but purposely mistake correlation for causation.

That would be your assumption due to your own political bias. That reflects on you, not me. Like I legitimately just want the system to be more efficient lol. It must be hard for you to talk to people?

Entitled, like expecting free food? Nice reversal! Preparing food is a red herring, there's lots of food better than junk food that takes no prep time at all.

How is "that thinking" the problem? A problem for what exactly? Junk food is a problem because it's vastly overpriced relative to the amount of nutritional value. In terms of material cost, the dollar amount actually necessar

The problem with food stamps is program abuse: about 25% is spent on junk food. And then there's outright fraud, which as a percentage is small but still a lot of money. Who knows how much is spent on uber eats/doordash. I'm

That sounds a little paranoid, especially when you have options for factory paired keyboard/dongle encryption. And aesthetics? This is a forum that tirelessly obsesses over micro usb vs usb-c. Wired is de facto obsolete afaiac.

I don’t see how people can STILL use wired nowdays. It’s so much less desk clutter and vastly better aesthetics to go full wireless. Charging is not an issue, get some Logitech that lasts months if not years.

Projection for sure. Sic is correctly used when it quotes an “odd or erroneous” phrase (Oxford English Dictionary). In context those quotes are extraordinarily odd. They are both too flippant for a serious article and do not follow logicall
