Well, at least 70% of the country is eligible for affirmative action or is member of a protected class.
White males make up about 30% of the country.

"Hal: Witch hunts are a well-known cultural problem at Google. The company is currently facing a Federal complaint filed by the National Labor Relations Board in April for interfering with employees’ legal right to discuss “workplace diversity and social justice initiatives.” The complaint alleges that Senior Vice President Urs Holzle and numerous managers in his organization actively stoked up witch hunts in 2015 and 2016 intended to muzzle low-level employees who raised concerns about the company’s practices. The trial is set for November.
Several managers have openly admitted to keeping blacklists of the employees in question, and preventing them from seeking work at other companies. There have been numerous cases in which social justice activists coordinated attempts to sabotage other employees’ performance reviews for expressing a different opinion. These have been raised to the Senior VP level, with no action taken whatsoever.
Allum Bokhari: What’s it like to work in such an environment? Do you think it damages employee output?
Hal: A lot of social justice activists essentially spend all day fighting the culture war, and get nothing done. The company has made it a point to hire more people like this. The diversity gospel has been woven into nearly everything the company does, to the point where senior leaders focus on diversity first and technology second. The companywide “Google Insider” emails used to talk about cool new tech, but now they’re entirely about social justice initiatives. Likewise, the weekly all-hands “TGIF” meetings used to focus on tech, but now they’re split about 50/50 between tech and identity politics signaling.
For conservative employees, this is obviously demoralizing, but it is also dangerous. Several have been driven out of the company or fired outright for sharing a dissenting view. Others have had their promotions denied or suffered other forms of deniable retaliation. Most of us just keep our heads down because we can’t afford to lose our jobs."

Numerous individuals alleged to be members of Google’s management team have been caught bragging about forming blacklists to impact the careers of colleagues with different political beliefs.
In a series of screenshots from 2015 onwards published by a verified Google employee, individuals described as left-wing Google management employees can be seen discussing the ways they punish their colleagues both inside and out of the company.
“While Google appears to be doing very little to quell the hostile voices that exists inside the company, I want those hostile voices to know: I will never, ever hire hire/transfer you onto my team. Ever. I don’t care if you are perfect fit of technically excellent or whatever,” declared former employee Adam Fletcher in a post on Google’s internal, staff-only Google+ network: “Internal Plus.” “I will actively not work with you, even to the point where your team or product is impacted by this decision. I’ll communicate why to your manager if it comes up.”
“You’re being blacklisted by people at companies outside of Google,” he continued. “You might not have been aware of this, but people know, people talk. There are always social consequences.”

Since the say guy who authored this letter also filed the NRLB compliant, I wonder if he would have a pay day for retaliatory firing?
The World Health Organization reports:
Depressive disorders account for close to 41.9% of the disability from neuropsychiatric disorders among women compared to 29.3% among men.
Leading mental health problems of the older adults are depression, organic brain syndromes and dementias. A majority are women.
About 1 in 4 women are taking medication for mental illness compared to 15% of men.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
One of the more startling statistics in the report, which analyzed prescription claims data from 2.5 million insured Americans from 2001 to 2010, is that one in four women is dispensed medication for a mental health condition, compared to just 15 percent of men.
Antidepressant use especially is high among women, up 29 percent since 2001, the report showed, and anti-anxiety meds are used by women at almost twice the rate seen among men. In 2010, 11 percent of middle-aged women were on an anti-anxiety medication, while only 5.7 percent of men that age were. There’s also a gender shift when it comes to the use of drugs for ADHD in adulthood: although the disorder is thought to afflict primarily young boys, slightly more women use ADHD medications as adults than men.
The use of atypical antipsychotics — medications once mainly prescribed for schizophrenia — have gone up dramatically as well. The number of adults ages 20 to 64 taking these meds is 3.5 times higher than it was 2001. And although the number of men on these drugs increased more dramatically during that time, there are still more women than men taking the medications.
That is because the left cares more about identity than individuals.
"Non-transitory computer readable medium" means its a software claim. Since software is not a statutory class of invention, you pretend that they are patenting a storage medium, which just happens to carry out instructions to perform XYZ.
Model S weighs up to 5,000lbs.
As a trackday enthusiast, the less weight the better when it comes to cornering and brake fade. Its not like the Model S hasn't had trackday issues.
Eh, I think for a fair amount of the male (nerd) demographic, they wanted to be the Doctor, a man who doesn't win through force, but through wits and snark rather than action.
For the female demographic, they wanted to travel with a sexy, powerful man who takes them on dangerous adventures. Look how many fangirls fawn over David Teninch and Matt Smith's portrayal of the Doctor.
I don't think the female demographic was looking to be the Doctor.
I've wondered why they have so many blacks on the show, when the largest non-white minority in Britan are South Asians.
Uber rolled out Uber WAV 2 years back that allows you to use their app to connect with Taxi companies that offer wheel chair service.
We ate plenty of McDonalds when we traveled in England 20 years back. I only went to McDonalds once in Germany, and that was for the novelty of ordering beeer at a McDonalds.
English food other than breakfasts is not very tasty to the american palate. Their meat quality is pretty poor too.
I remember when living in Japan, you used to have CD rental stores. You could rent a CD for a day for ~100Yen, At the time 20 years back or so, a new cd was around 3,000 yen or about double US prices. Of course right by the counter was a stack of minidiscs to buy, which probably explains why that format took off in Japan and not in the USA.

The above link explains that the media manufacturers apparently had more clout than the music industry and thats why the stores were permitted.
I wish I could vote you up 1000 times.
You can't negotiate with the left. Writing 50 page essays is not going to change most people's perspective, particularly when they have an emotional attachment, or identity attachment to a particular ideology. These aren't people with open minds who will consider dialectic.
I personally advocate using harsh rhetoric and shame to get your point accross. As things break down further expect people on the right to take up the tactics of the left instead of loosing like gentlemen.
No, it doesn't have my track car.
This quote is interesting:
