I wouldn't have downvoted except for this nice piece of well-poisoning: > You act as if the ads are putting ugly pictures of fat people are flooding your site Not to mention the fact that his argument had nothing to do with what was b

OFF-TOPIC: is there a good reason the sidebar repositions itself on every windows.scroll instead of just setting position:fixed in the CSS? It's jittery and distracting when scrolling.

I'd rather just not visit their site at all. It's a big Internet.

> When we are guests in someone else's home, seems only fair that we honor their requests. This is a ridiculous analogy. It's not a home, it's a business. If my friends want me to take my shoes off when I visit them, no big deal. If Bes

That's not the sentiment she's expressing, though. You generally give people some amount of trust to begin with, right? That's all she's talking about.

Those aren't arguments, they're opinions.

Do not contemplate the whims of the Hackertariat. A curious pinpoint of darkness soon grows closer, eventually enveloping you in its yawning black, chilling the marrow and ensnaring the wits. Artifacts and whispers float by but become dust

That doesn't really tell you why she hated them, just how vehemently she did.

That's the etymology, not the definition. Just because a word once meant something doesn't mean it still does. EDIT: "a covering for the hand made with a separate sheath for each finger and for the thumb." http://dictionary.reference.com/b

Sexting isn't necessarily two-way.

Upvoted because even though I hate cynicism, it just hits me from time to time. I just am not motivated by mentoring or entering timesheets or working on projects I give no fucks about or being coerced into giving time estimates for problem

I might agree if the text wasn't so wide (edit: on my screen, at least). Longer lines are less readable because you can't easily find the next line when your eye flicks back to the left after finishing a line.

> So changing who you discriminate against is not less unjust. I disagree. Discrimination is not always unjust depending on the motivation and the outcomes of it. If the motivation is to correct for existing systemic discrimination, and

> I think this is unjust and can often make problems worse, not better. The status quo is what's unjust. Do you agree? If so, how can correcting for that be unjust?

I think they were asking for examples of white-knighting, which is not what your story was about. Not that it wasn't worth sharing, it just didn't answer knowtheory's question.

I think you're making the mistake of critiquing the beards thing in isolation. The point is that it's a drop in a bucket. You can look at any individual marketing campaign and come up with perfectly valid reasons it's not really sexist, b

That's what I was referring to, perhaps a little too obliquely :)

> Or it is true, and 99.999 women just choose to be silent about their cases of sexism. They are far more silent that you think. Ask some actual women about it some time. > It is insulting when people attack males as a single group

Nobody said it reflected the majority of males. Nobody said it makes the whole industry sexist. Nobody said everyone is sexist. Nobody is basing their opinion on one incident. Tell me more about this "straw man fallacy", though.

Also, it super doesn't matter what the gender of the person posting the pictures was. The gender of the actors does not matter if the gender of the victim obviously does .

by nollidge 14y ago
Do you legitimately think we could remove gender from the situation and it would've played out in the same way?

For glob's sake, I wish people would stop saying "I'm not sexist BUT..." or "I'm not racist BUT..." or "I'm not a homophobe BUT..." Because: A) You're setting yourself up for failure. B) Show, don't tell. but most importantly C) it's hardly

by nollidge 14y ago
See, but the fact that you're reading about it at all, that people are arguing about it at all , means we're doing better. The fact that outrage about sexism even exists is progress. It's the (slight) progress of shining a harsh light

Off-topic, but in Chrome I got the bar at the top saying "This page is in French. Translate?" This mis-identification of language in Chrome happens to me probably once a day, though usually when looking at code.

Just because women were involved in creating something doesn't make it not sexist.

I don't think anybody disagrees with any of those points, but they're blatantly obvious. Which would be fine if there was useful advice for how to improve at those areas, but there isn't.
