Comment How the hell (Score 1) 85

How the hell can you compare a 500 mile range EV truck, to a 600 mile range hybrid truck? As soon as you add gasoline/petrol you're not a battery car any longer and thus are not a comparison to a cybertruck. Apples to apples it has barely half the range of a Tesla. I can just see the marketing people in that meeting going "Well, we can say we have longer range if we just add a bit of gasoline to supplement the battery!"

The issue I have is that I don't feel that people are being honest when they say they are sexually a ... building. I feel there is a weirdness arms race, and whoever can invent the most ludicrous identity to hang their hat on is declared winner. How dare you question it? What do you know? You're just a (some other identity). You can't possibly know what it's like to sexually be a building, or a mythological creature (yellow dragonkin).

Sorry, but that's utter poppycock. That person needs help, not cheerleaders.

Comment Don't forget about culture problems (Score 2, Insightful) 257

After the toxic culture at Google came to light during the Damore incident, why would anyone want to join a company that boos you when you get hired if you're not a SJW darling? You may get paid well but there are so many non hostile workplaces that you would be much happier in. Do you really want to work at a place where people claim they sexually identify as an expansive ornate building, and your employer gives them a microphone?

Comment Black lives matter (Score 0) 457

This is just an excuse to, when presented with two candidates -- one who is White or East Asian, Male, with great SAT/ACT scores, and a someone who is not and just writes "black lives matter" over and over again on their entrance essay, they can pick the latter and say "well, we don't really look at your test results".

Comment Social justice warrior robots (Score 2) 579

Hrm, so we have:

  • - Social justice warrior robots
  • - Chubby, annoying, female sidekicks to give the chubby, annoying, female social justice warriors someone to identify with.
  • - The systematic elimination of almost every positive white male character.
  • - The continued featuring of white men as being the bad guys (diversity apparently doesn't extend to antagonists, though credit for Phasma).
  • - Hell even the only black person in the entire First Order switched sides.
  • - Female leads to replace the eliminated male characters.
  • - The producers of Rogue one saying "Please note that the Empire is a white supremacist (human) organization, Opposed by a multi-cultural group led by brave women.", when multi-cultural means "everyone but white dudes".
  • - They put out the 'Star Wars: Forces of Destiny' cartoon, featuring female leads and girl friendly storylines.

Disney/Lucafilm are systematically trying to turn Star Wars in to something for SJW Women. They must not have done the market research to see that its white dudes who are most willing to shell out money to go see Star Wars in a theatre. The sad part is I don't think Lucas himself would've done any better, given the atrocities of 1 2 & 3. Perhaps there is no hope at all for the Star Wars we all grew up to love, and it's time to let it die.

Comment Re:And Texas? (Score 1) 788

You're only including the states that support your argument . Here:

States with lots of guns and not much gun murder (state / gun % / murder by gun per 100k):
North Dakota / 47 / 0.9
Idaho / 57% / 0.8
Wyoming / 52.3% / 1.2
Hawaii / 45.1% / 0.5

States with not a lot of guns, and lots of gun murder:
Delaware / 5.2% / 4.2
Jersey / 11.3% / 2.8
California / 20% / 3.5

It's the same false argument that banning guns leads to lower death by gun rates. For every country like Japan and Australia where this is true, there are countries like Jamaica and Venezula and Guatemela where banishment of guns has lead to more gun murder .

Comment Oh don't forget (Score 1) 330

Ellen Pao .. bwhaha. Failed at claiming sexism. Failed at reddit. Now that I think about it - the only modern high up women I can think of who have made an impact are the ones who've really screwed everything up. That's not to say men don't screw everything up too - there is no shortage of them, but at least there are superstars like Musk to balance it out.

Comment YMMV (Score 1) 393

So the outcome is YMMV if you're employed at Google. Duh. If one out of five employees is told to stop posting about diversity because it starts flame wars, and another one of five is getting paid a cash bonus when they threaten white male employees with violence, firing, and discrimination if they talk against the status quo about diversity, it still means Google is still promoting and engaging in systematic and illegal discriminatory practices as per the class action lawsuit.
