Quote your dictionary definition

Come on now - you are not THAT pathetic are you? You are? Then fucking DO something about it! Don't be a special snowflake wanting special treatment your entire life.
As for quoting more of Damore's shit back at me, it was stupid enough the first time from that guy who talks about "super secret" meetings that were not even recorded (you take fucking NOTES in those meetings whiner boys).

This whole situation of a guy insisting that google not treat all employees fairly (and then finding to his own horror that he ended up being treated unfairly and not just the women) should not be unexpected so why the hell are you STILL WHINING ABOUT IT after so many posts?

unable to put humans in to space

They are still getting up there - transport has been outsourced to the Russians, just like with elections.

Citation needed for such a wild claim, and please try to be honest. I've seen idiots make similar claims, such as the one about a reactor in France being shut down due to an incident with a grenade at a protest when the reality is the incident happened before the foundations were poured and more than twenty years before the reactor was shut down.

Environmental protests stopped the construction of a newer and safer reactor, leading to massive cost overruns and medical isotope shortages.

Shortages due to delays on something with around a ten year lead time to build? Really? If a supply chain is that fragile then a protest isn't really the problem is it - that's if the delay really happened and it's not just words excreted by a lobbyist or PR folks.

A third party can screw up and not tell you about it until you need the thing. You'll probably learn that lesson the hard way some time.

You still refuse to define "something real"

Unlike you I'm happy to go with what the dictionary says. So actual actions and not vague hearsay about feelings.

Why do you keep dodging that question

Because it's nonsensical bullshit. What's real is real. People raving about what they feel is happening on an emotional level is a very one sided discussion. It turns out Damore was more "hysterical" than he said women are genetically designed to be - who would have thought?
Give it up kid (or someone acting like one) - belief doesn't define reality and I'm getting utterly sick about how you think you can spout off any old shit, call me all kinds of fucking names yet insist I be extremely literal with everything. You knew I was writing in a figurative sense about things above yet spouted the "pics or it didn't happen" out of your orifice. Why were you hoping to achieve by jumping on my post and leaving such a pathetic trail of bullshit? Do you want me to mock you as an especially fragile snowflake with easily bruised feelings or something?

So exactly what would you consider whistleblower worthy?

I'm kind of sick of you shitting me here. Vague allegations worded like a twelve year old are supposed to be worthy? You could do ten times better than Damore did yourself if there was something real.

If you think Damore is some kind of hero you must be utterly pathetic

When was the last time that you saw an action movie where the villain wasn't a white male corporate type

Maybe last year but it's well and truly the "message" that several movies have pushed this year. The "your boss is your enemy" plot crudely grafted onto whatever plot the movie is supposed to be about has been very offputting lately - but Hollywood has been putting a "message" into movies since before either of us were born and we're just unfortunate that the producers like this one at the moment. That's why the low budget stuff that doesn't attract the attention of the producers that want to put their mark on things are often a refreshing change.
The live action "Ghost in the Shell" could have been a decent film without that "message" grafted on in almost complete contradiction to the rest of the movie (and the obsession about the characters original name when it was an obvious fake alias in the original and a shoutout to a popular TV series of the time - as obvious as calling yourself John Wayne). Changing the main character from a long serving vet who could do amazing stuff due to long experience to a newbie that had the name "major" instead of that as a title of rank was also confusing because half the time she acted like the experienced vet and the other half like a newbie - looks like the script was rewitten halfway through to fit in the "your boss is your enemy" plot.
Then there's "Valerian" - a far better movie than the critics say it is but it still has that message even if it manages to push it off to the side most of the time.

The snack stand is going to be the demise of the theater.

The snack stand is how they are staying alive.
Margins are tight so they have to screw us rubes over like a carnie.

As a side note. My theater is independent and doesn't show ads

The one near me started that way but after six months they had to cave in (the operators have years of experience but they thought they could get enough without ads in the location). There are not many ads (3-4) but they needed to show a few so they at least get something in those off-peak sessions where only a few people turn up.

It's the way these things seem to be heading everywhere due to increased risk aversion and HR getting too much power in large corporations in grubby office political games.
The company I work for is in a field where explosives get used every now and again, so the shot firers have been drug tested (on the demand of the clients) for years. Then the clients insisted anyone driving vehicles should be tested. Then the guys running out cables. Office staff going to the office buildings near the site have been drug tested. The clients HR weenies have even pushed for office staff in the city far away from the site (and in a different company FFS!) to be tested but thankfully their management have not backed them up on the several times it's been pushed back on - so far.

If it was a tighter market for potential employees then such stupid intrusive shit would be less likely to happen. If it's difficult to replace someone then there is less tolerance for stupid wasteful power games that really have nothing to do with job suitablity in nearly every case.

I believe that if Google was implicitly or explicitly

You can believe what you like but shouting it from the rooftops with nothing but the hearsay of an utterly pathetic creature to back you up gets the sort of response you've been getting or far worse.

So, I'll take it that you agree

Don't put words in my mouth when the entire thing looks like a fantasy generated in an attempt for someone to justify their utterly ridiculous pile of whiny shit that is far less science than a high school project.

Come on now - are you really so stupid as to take the whiny screed at face value?

Yes, Yes - it was dressed up with some distracting handwaving to look far less ridiculous than the argument really is.
Those hairy hippies didn't have the vast political power the above poster pretends they had to stop the gulf war so how did they stop nukes? The entire argument is a transparent effort to shift blame - "politically blocking necessary upgrades and maintenance" never happened.

Nuclear plants are incredibly cheap. What is expensive is allowing the watermelons to abuse the regulatory process to multiply the time by a factor of 2x to 3x and the cost by a factor of 5x to 10x.

You've been horribly misled. Consider how that lie you've been told is disproved in China where they really don't care much about the regulations yet their reactors are not getting built at 1/10, 1/5, or 1/2 the cost. I used to work with a Russian turbine engineer and he told me the Russian stuff that gave everyone nightmares wasn't cheap either.

If the design basis of the secondary containment is to eat a fully loaded 747 for breakfast

That is exactly the thing that saved us with Three Mile Island. A design driven by proximity to an airport turned what could have been a disaster into nothing but a lesson to upgrade monitoring equipment to narrow down causes of problems more quickly. Nobody had much of a clue what had happened inside for a couple of days but it didn't matter, nothing was getting out.

Nukes are base load.
Gas turbines, wind, solar etc fill the gaps instead of directly competing with nukes.
The nuke advocates that see solar and wind as a threat are just idiots charging at windmills who have forgotten that almost nothing has been spent on new nukes since long before wind and solar became viable on the grid.

Reminder that rampant anti-nuke and environmental protests are the cause of a lot of these problems

Wow - waving a sign causes a leak?
Whatever you stopped taking I suggest you get back on them again until you are functional. Not actually insane? Then please stop pretending to be, it's demeaning to yourself and anyone unfortunate enough to read such drivel is more likely to be driven away than be convinced.


How about you advocate for nukes on their merits instead of making shit up?

What's real is the Feds are hassling Google about diversity, Google is having meetings about being hassled on diversity and some Peter Pan of a former student activist wrote a ten page whine that is undermining Google on the issue. Of course he got fired.
Was that "real" enough for you?
