In other words, it's mens fault. This is exactly the problem. Instead of considering what it would take to solve the problem you point the finger at men for no other reason than they aren't women.

The No True Scottmans Fallacy coupled with an assumption that the problem is men not being more like women emotionally.

The last time I checked, acknowledging the problem was the first step to solving it.

The communication was so effective I chose not to respond to it. I personally prefer (there it is!) to work in an environment where being incorrect isn't such a big deal everyone thinks you have to walk around eggshells in order to poi

I just need to ruminate on things sometimes, anyone who tries to get me to "open up" is just going to prolong the process by not allowing me to examine and/or get to a spot emotionally where I'm able to accept whatever i

> As a society, we need to come to terms with masculinity. That means men need to be able to be masculine without being domineering and without being castigated. You're doing the exact same thing you're complaining about. This

That's a strawman. I specifically quoted someone talking about being open-minded, I specifically used the verbiage 'open-minded' in my response, and you start talking about taking the time to "address an issue". Wh

Because if there's one place everyone can go to be better informed about climate change, it's definitely not NASA. This is why people like you get dismissed in the first place. I can choose to spend time worrying about why you wo

They get paid to deal with customers. It's their job, end of story. The reason people say it's exhausting to "be nice" constantly is specifically because of people like you. You've made up your mind on something t

He's getting downvotes because no one actually says "you're an idiot" in real life and that comparison has fuck all to do with the actual point anyone in this thread is coming close to.

Why is it Nadya's responsibility to persuade or convince?

> Being kind also mean being more open-minded. Should I be more open-minded about climate change deniers when NASA has stated multiple times human activity is affecting it? I have better things to do with my time.

> It isn't about forgoing investment Ok, great! That means you agree with the previous person who stated they didn't think that was well documented.

The term 'easy' is also relative, stop trying to be pedantic.

> As for the sexist part, reverse sexism is not a thing -- if the playing field is so imbalanced, then explicitly favoring the discriminated-against group is a fair measure to level the playing field. You're conflating anti-discrimi

That's a fallacy if I've ever seen one. Documented sexual harassment is not the same claim that was being made above, specifically, that men will do things like forgo investing at an investment event purely because the woman is at

Not quite the same thing, but I know of a company in my local town that hires only women. They'll contract out to men when they absolutely must (me, for example), but I shit you not, the owner was female, all of the engineers were f

You don't actually know how it happened. quoting from the article: > It’s extremely intimidating walking up to older men, getting them to make eye contact, and then convincing them to fund you through a quick convo. It’s also extrem

Here's the relevant quote from the article. > I knew the founders of many other companies pretty closely – their backgrounds, their revenue, their valuations, how much they raised. Sure, it’s comparing apples and oranges, but one co

That one stuck out to me as well, but for a different reason. I think the idea that "explicit is better than implicit" is a good idea for more than simply "magic numbers and strings". I much prefer seeing the code in fro

well today you learned that isn't an attribute of the hacker culture.

by mreiland 11y ago
No, "hackers" are people which means they're no better, or worse, than others. Why are you trying to make the subculture out to be something it isn't?

They're trying to make Windows a platform instead of a cash cow. They've finally realized they have the advantage and google will never beat them unless they wait too long.

you must be fun at parties. You'll outgrow that attitude eventually, you should revisit that last post when you do.

While mathematics has for the most part been built up using 2-valued logic, that isn't how humans perceive the world, which is why someone will say something like "you are technically correct", or they'll say "techn

can you give an example of this?

You're spot on. I still game, although not as enthusiastically as I did in the past. The extra horsepower of my GPU probably isn't strictly necessary for what I do, but Tim Allen.

Nvidia GTX 980. The sad part? I honestly don't run anything that requires the GPU horsepower that often. But OH. MY. GOD. it renders that console sooooo hard! All kidding aside, I've also been an 'Nvidia guy' for yea
