You put way too much credit in the intelligence of hate mobs. People attack others for nonsense all the time. And I don't view gender bias as misogyny. Women are biased to believe women and men are biased to believe men, that is just n

I didn't say she did. Hate mobs can attack people for things that aren't true, happens all the time. There is a reason why we don't use hate mobs in the justice system. For example, lets say a twitter mob attacks a man for so

You speculated about the motive of the harassers, not the actual chain of events. Nothing you say here says that the harassers attacked her for being a woman instead of attacking her for cheating the game review system.

Is there any documentation why people harassed her that isn't just speculation? The gamer culture works just like twitter mobs, they attack things for almost no reason and do it hard, harassment and death threats etc. There is no big p

My link contains a survey of 270 000 gamers on what kinds of games they play, I didn't base this on anecdotes.

> "female gamer == Candy Crush" It is mostly true though. Of course all genres has some women but they skew very heavily in that direction. Strategy games etc barely has any women at all, especially the more complicated ones. I

It is about battlefield 5, the last of us was last year. More specifically people didn't like the depiction of world war 2 in this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7ZpQadiyqs

If they help their kids become great doctors or engineers why is that a problem? The problem isn't meritocracy but nepotism, when rich kids gets jobs or positions they wouldn't normally get with their merits.

Cooperation and competition are both necessary. You look at competition to see what is possible and then you cooperate to make it happen. Without competition you don't know what to aim for. In the teams you work at likely some others h

Italy is tech hostile like most of southern Europe, engineers are paid horribly compared to other professions so they usually leave north.

All you need is a supreme court redefining the interpretation such that now not using racial quotas is discriminatory. Then the laws stating that you can't discriminate based on race now work in favour of quotas.

You are talking about white privilege and not male privilege here. White privilege is pretty straight forward, male privilege isn't. The discussion in question is about white women pushing out white men from sectors where white women d

Men are more overrepresented as targets by police violence than black people are. So you just brought up a strong example of female privilege, and more specifically white female privilege. But certainly not a white male privilege.

Media, including big tech, is not sympathetic of men's issues. This is because male users are worth significantly less as advertisement targets, they would rather lose 3 male users over 1 female user. Its just pure capitalism and not i

It isn't the entire rest of society, it is a very small privileged group pushing this. A majority of men strongly disagrees with these things, but their voices aren't allowed to be heard.

Labour without a job is almost useless. People with the ability to figure out good use of labour is the limiting factor, not labour itself. And it is really hard to get enough value out of labour to pay modern salaries. If you disagree, why

It means that the day to day job is easy and mindless, even if it is some ok work being done during those meetings. Doing all the real work in a meeting every other week does seem soul crushing.

Some developers might love just mindlessly doing trivial tickets week after week, since it means they don't have to worry about anything since the job is so easy. But others will view that as soul crushing, you can't say it isn&#x

Almost surely that will be coupled with an appstore and end the era of free computing for most people. It would be great if it didn't happen that way, but I don't see Apple or Microsoft doing it any other way.

In the early 90s you had a few megabytes of ram, running out of ram was a normal thing so your programs had to handle it everywhere. That makes the kind of testing we do on modern computers useless, our tests only works if we don't hav

Depleting the aquifers doesn't benefit society. The minor value gained from exports doesn't weigh up that. Of course we need farmers, but we don't need farmers who do that.
