No but you've pulled this exact same "do you know who I am???" spiel before. I remember the account name. Didn't care then either. Hint: if you were relevant, you wouldn't need to remind people. And if you weren&#x2

As opposed to the special snowflake club ignoring the politically inconvenient research done in the last 20 years on gender equality? Differences in in-group bias, differences in headline coverage as victims, differences in court judgments,

Meanwhile nobody still gives a shit about the way women treat men, or men's "lived experiences". You complain, people listen. We complain, we are told to suck it up. For some reason, "observant" women keep denying i

I can't help but see your comment as a symptom of the problem it's describing. Not trolling, but geek bias... specifically the blind spot of assuming everyone is as sincere as you. The big problem with comment sections isn't

What would you call soliciting money on Early Access, using it to pay off previous investors, and then cancelling the project?

Double Fraud productions? No thank you. Tim Schafer, you are an insufferable, money-wasting, hypocritical bastard. Gets 8x as much money as he asked for, then delivers less than half of a game in twice the time (Broken Age part 1). Then he

Insanity. 90% of linear algebra can be understood from graphically examining affine transforms. Doing visuals last is what leads people to conceive of matrix-vector multiplication as a set of meaningless dot products as opposed to just mult

When you have no valid point to make, attack the messenger. Don't project how you feel about my opinion onto me, I'm happy and optimistic that this whole oppression charade is finally coming crashing down.

If that's true then why do mathematicians seem allergic to improving their own language, while software developers seem to constantly invent new ones?

>(eg being a woman) It is amazingly courageous how you manage to go through life with such an inescapable handicap. It must be so hard for you, having to contend with the possibility of encountering strangers and having to deal with them

From experience, it's the people who admit others into the U.S. who need the IQ test.

Because everyone who doesn't live in one of the SJW/progressivist cult bastions realizes that: a) Talk is cheap, action matters, and the PC police's main strategy is to complain until other people change, instead of enacting

Why do we teach everyone history? Because it's valuable to know where we came from, and to realize that whatever's going on today, it's probably happened before. Why do we teach everyone math? Because it creates quantitative

If your upset is about stereotypes and speculation, why did you bother to specify the gender of the author? "It makes me lose respect for the person who thinks they can pontificate about someone else's experience and motivations.&

But you too seem to be pretending that your individual experiences make you an authority on women in science. No amount of pushing for women in science has worked, in fact, more gender quality is associated with more stereotypical occupatio

Why do you think creating interest from real life is going to make them not "want to learn math"? That makes no sense. Teaching is all about benevolent dishonesty. The first thing a teacher does is dumb themselves down to their st

It's an inconsistent mess that destroys muscle memory. The new notifications are retarded. The "privacy conscious" notification screen is useless, won't even show you a clock timer. Typing this on Android. 5 and it still

You know the problem with that sentiment? Most people do not find abstract patterns and rote symbolic manipulation to be interesting. They simply don't, and if you teach math class mistakenly assuming they do, 90% tunes out. If you can

They all do this, this is the big problem in why we're stuck with crappy text areas and content editable. The JavaScript keyboard API was designed for Americans. It does not know about combining accent keys, IMEs, etc.
