I worked at the lab. “Modernist” was chosen from what I remember because he didn’t like “molecular gastronomy”, which is what everyone was calling texture manipulations and laboratory techniques applied to food at the time, and to different

How is this proof of anything except using guano as a fertilizer is maybe not a good idea? The “cannabis” portion is completely irrelevant and is there for clicks.

If you factor in something that doesn’t exist and still may not?

My digestive tract disagrees with you.

A lot of people actually can’t digest it. Lactose intolerance.

Ok but why?

You mean solely for the deplatformed, and not necessarily free speech for anyone else? Edit: I was banned for saying Ashley Babbit was committing a crime and that we should not have double standards where she is a martyr but George Floyd ca

Really? I thought it was Terry Roosevelt. Do you have a source?

Also how do they taste? My recollection of Dutch tomatoes is they they are not very good. Bland, watery.

Which type of white? Do Irish count now? Or do you mean only Anglos and those of German descent? What about Slavic people? Are they white now or still hated by you types? I can never keep track.

In a just society we would have laws that prevent this sort of thing, instead of lobbying by these corporations to prevent the passing of them in the first place, so people like you can go “well it’s not illegal therefore it’s ok”

That having enough money lets you get away with things?

Yeah firing someone who was on the engineering side is not a good look when the problems are on the MBA side.

Really? I haven’t had cable since before DVRs were a thing, I didn’t realize you got one with your cable subscription now.

People who pay for cable TV.

Yeah this is more in line with my experience too.

They have an incentive to optimize long term cost? I’m sorry but what version of idealized capitalism do you live in because it’s not this one.

None of them are posting links to right wing influencers pushing a ridiculous agenda.

Yes I have. He is clearly against DEI and his entire post was about how DEI is bad and why things are bad. He is ignoring any of the other myriad things that could also be the causes of why Boeing sucks, even though he must be aware of them

Ok but also, who cares? It is almost assuredly not the reason they are having these issues. I don’t know why you have this crusade against DEI stuff. I also think it’s lame, but the problems with Boeing are more likely that they are run by

I think it’s relevant, and you are basically saying you don’t like my argument therefore it’s wrong too.

You’re forgetting the third option: HR invents some new bullshit to justify their jobs.

by bavent 3y ago
You’re assuming I agree that all ad hominem arguments are bad. You cannot separate a person, where their beliefs have no sway over their arguments and they are perfectly logical. That’s like physics 101, imagine a perfect sphere kind of thi

It does matter who it comes from because what someone doesn’t say is as useful as what they do say. If his critique of Boeing was more than just “DEI bad” I would be more inclined to take him seriously, but the dude clearly has an agenda an

I did, and the writer has a clear and obvious bias against DEI. I personally am not in favor of much DEI stuff too, but I have worked at enough large bureaucracy type businesses that are all about it and it is 90% meaningless HR busy work.

That’s not evidence, that’s someone who thinks everything is a leftist boogeyman and who needs to spend less time on the internet.
