Your inability to articulate a meaningful response is all about you, not me.

Your comment is sufficiently vague and mealy-mouthed so as to be useless. All the I see here is you complaining about shifting social mores. Toughen up. Maybe if you weren't so "sensitive, easily offended, and brittle" then t

Based on my experience and since you mention it, the only thing they were responding to was the fact that you put the company’s name in your code base. There’s probably also a good chance that their take-home instructions specifically say N

It’s funny you say this because the take-home project is meant to find good candidates who don’t interview well [0] Also this practice arose as a response to the notion of high pressure coding exercises during interviews, how predictive th

If this is true, where’s the proof of a conspiracy? This is similar to the thing about phones listening to conversations and then some app shows a relevant ad: where’s the conspiracy? What you outline above implies something like an affilia

There’s actually another, simpler explanation: they’re doing exactly what they’re saying. Not releasing SAT scores of admitted students might mean that their experiments with “holistic” admission results in lower average SATs. Hence their d

Abortion: one of the few times an american conservative will speak approvingly of “international norms”.

States rights, that old chestnut we only ever hear about when someone wants to maintain control of other peoples bodies (slavery and abortion, included). Also, why are you mentioning “ jewishrallyforabortionjustice” completely unprompted?

Still failing to refute the central point: more harm is minimized by preventing an unwanted birth via abortion than via “caring about their mental health.” Rhetorically, everyone recognizes that you’re just moving the goalposts by providing

Given his challenges at running companies without massive handouts & subsidization, he might be a great fit for US politics. Shame that he can’t be president, we deserve him even more than Trump.

Your inclusion of “without a university degree” is doing a LOT of work in that sentence to make it seem like rural (and let’s admit it: white) evangelicals are anything close to a majoritarian bloc in the United States.

As long as the US can’t be held accountable, neither will China. Simple as that. China’s abuses flourish amid a global economic order that the United States of America has a stranglehold on. Why does China not “enjoy” the same kinds of sanc

Grades don’t capture the difference in learning ability you use as an absurd example. Furthermore, this “observation” is sufficiently vague so as to be a truism. “Businesses don’t want to hire stupid people” is not novel or meaningful as a

You like falling back on majoritarian arguments when it suits you (at least twice in this thread, but I'm only partway through!). Are you in favor of abolishing the senate, then?

They are likely quoting DOJ arrest statistics [0]. Lots of interesting stuff there, and the overall conclusion one can draw from them is quite different than what the GP asserts. 0 - https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/cri
