  1. And Trump threatens fire and fury. Ah politicians, so much balls but someone else's ass. https://twitter.com/TreyYingst/status/895004446438170626
  2. I agree with this. This was a matter that should have been handled internally. He wasn't representing Google by it, he was advocating work environment policies that would be less stiffing to the flow of free thought. He probably shouldn't have included his personal opinion on things like the wage gap, merely advocated for higher standards off inquiry in hopes that correcting the process helps both the work culture and the grappling with whatever emergent dynamics might be resulting in the world. But demonstrating that a particular position might indeed hold water put him in a position of having a message he wishes a chance to win out, and thus Google felt like they couldn't endorse a particular view. But his situation was forced by all those taking it public. This is the type of whistle blowing you learn is unbeneficial and counter-productive in ethics courses Then again maybe the manifesto author is a large type **** and this was too good to pass up
  3. Yeah but PETA isn't the same as your SPCA but both are part of animal rights movements.
  4. Well can't judge by the loons. Though depends on how wide you define the movement.
  5. https://www.peta.org/living/food/why-cheese-is-the-most-sexist-thing-you-can-eat/ Close enough.
  6. Well political sensibilities are ok until they cause an issue amongst the group. Like anything I guess. Probably wouldn't have fired him had it not gone public, if they don't then they catch heat and they figured it would be worse than if they did not. One man is expendable, after all. Wonder how much it will hurt them, the usual sort are preparing for Free speech jihad but we all know how long those tend to run for. Should also fire the dude that leaked it, he pushed this into a scope it didn't need to have
  7. Luckily Trump says a lot of things. Problem with mercs is what kind of leash do you have them on. Well that and some sweet, sweet corruption - though might be as bad as it is now
  8. There are companies that are big on such things?
  9. And they can use the AC/DC song for the commercials
  10. His essay isn't all that bad. Though if he's not high up it is a bit amusing to think he matters (but that is down to their culture). Advocating pair programming, though? Scumbag.
  11. Replaying Mass Effect for some reason. But also plugging along in Overwatch. Competitive really is crap, leavers and throwers along with the usual toxic people make it a wonderful experience.
  12. Well that and the whole aura of BS about their pitch
  13. Why you don't write such things at work, rather surprised he didn't know that.
  14. Y'all have some weird fetishes.
  15. Finally saw Wonder Woman, was alright, nothing too amazing. Found the fight scenes kind of meh for the most part, but wasn't a boring watch.. Had a feeling I knew the guy who played Sameer, he was in the music video for Gunman's World.
  16. Her dogged defense of all things Trump on CNN was funny. But I guess she's gotta do something to get paid
  17. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-40828564 Wrong kind of banging
  18. A good rejoinder to the nerdy pick up line of "I wish I was your second derivative so I could investigate your concavities" : "Well you're that for velocity".
  19. Wasting time at work trolling Reddit.
  20. Always wonder if anyone checks if the surviving ones need it.
  21. HTFU casual! At least it's not like some of the no win states in adventure games way back. Failed in one because I forgot to get one item way back in the beginning.
  22. Problem is some **** ruins it for everyone. Like drones
  23. Nothing is more fun than a meeting with 5 people trying to kiss ass better than each other.
  24. Hopefully you can get vengeance on him later. That goes beyond being an ass and being a psychopath to kill living things because you dislike a man. Remember it though, the window opens eventually.
