I mean I think the point is that the top comment for this article is now about the tone of the article rather than the contents. You yourself say there are valid criticisms to be made, so why not do that and compare them to the article inst

If you knew someone who didn't like mushrooms, and you saw them enjoy a dish with mushrooms in it without knowing, and then after you told them they said they didn't like it at all actually, wouldn't that seem silly?

Nope! The bare minimum we could do is start getting mad about how rich the rich are, and stop fighting among ourselves . Diversity is a tool used by the rich to keep us from uniting against them, and sadly it is really effective.

I agree with everything stuckinhell said as she seems to have some first hand experience with this, but I'd like to add that frankly it's just disgusting to use things like civil rights as a corporate HR move. People marched and r

I don't understand what your point is. A company hiring a woman with no relevant experience because she's the niece of the CTO is bad. A company hiring a woman with no relevant experience because she's the niece of the CTO b

Another reason people don't like diversity initiatives is that whenever you try to have an honest conversation about its problems, you get accused of ridiculous things, like being racist/sexist/etc or thinking nepotism is goo

It's not "garden variety" nepotism, it's woke nepotism, and it's why so many people have issues with diversity initiatives.

I was thinking this too. Not to claim google is trustworthy, but pagination with large search result sets can be tricky when you go back really far if the queries to fetch them are expensive. The count is probably a different system from th

Stop questioning things. Kiwifarms is ontologically evil, which means that any action taken against them is justified.

The difference here is that the festival made it harder for the vendors, not the consumers. People can still get their food. To make it analogous to banning natural gas, imagine if the festival banned plastic utensils and told everyone they

I am all for heat pumps, but this seems a bit extreme. They want this to be enacted within one year? They want a gas stove to be regulated the same way as a power plant? At a time when we _badly_ need to build more housing that people can a

Hard to say. What we know for sure is that it 100% does NOT have ANYTHING to do with the safe and effective vaccines. I can’t believe people would even think that!

You can’t just make a claim and then not provide any evidence. If it’s so obviously “far-right” (it isn’t), prove it.

A lot of people are frustrated because if you ask anyone who works in HR at a company with DEI policies, they would say that they are "committed to diversity and inclusion and helping the oppressed" and whatever else they were tra
