Especially because he put GAY GUYS on the computer, the horrors. If he had changed the wallpaper to a cat picture this would not have happened I guarantee it.
when you are 14, that's the pinnacle of humor.
anyway, good job trying to turn this into an issue of sexism. if you read into this that homosexuality had anything to do with it, you are the one with the problem.
You failed to back your assertion regarding another person's thoughts.
nothing i said is contradicted in the article. end of story. you can read between the lines about what the author meant or really thinks. that's up to you, have fun.
Lacking citations to back your seemingly false assertions, I do hope to see an apology for the slander. I have no expectation mind you, but I am occasionally incorrect judging character.
^^^ you said that.
no, i'm not submitting this to a journal of science. you caught me. just my opinion based on reading the article.
the fact that you are suggesting i apologize for slander either means you are being ironic, or you are very out of touch with reality.
i stand by what i wrote. the article is a capitalist rant about how workers don't need or deserve any rights written by an out-of-touch elitist. i don't claim to know that this applies to Ellen Pao, i suspect it doesn't.
yep, you caught me. what i wrote is my opinion. you're new here then?
yeah, i read that article. it's kind of baseless. she uses the term "frivolous" over and over, but that would imply she knew that facts and evaluated the situation. there's no facts in the article all. she's calling it frivolous because,
"A job is an exchange of services on one side for compensation on the other. If that exchange is not working for either side, then move on. If you don't like how you are being treated, what you are getting paid, your opportunities, your co-workers or any other aspect of where you are working, leave and get a new job or start your own business."
basically, she an extreme capitalist that doesn't believe in "workers' rights" at all. she's saying "hey, being discriminating on? just leave and work somewhere else. it's a free country." while that probably was an option for Ms. Pao, it's not an option for everyone. there's got to be a balance.
and this,
"leave and get a new job or start your own business."
that's just a little elitist. assuming everyone has the capital to start their own business.
GitHub is the only practical solution to the problems of decentralization.
did you mean git? or github? you don't need github to setup a git remote.
With Git, you have a full copy of the repo just by virtue of having "checked out" a copy. You can still get some work done without access to the central server
sure, as long as you aren't collaborating on anything, or if you are, you have a mirror. my guess is that most github users don't create mirrors.
what are you implying that a woman who dresses provocatively is trying to provoke
um yeah? that's the definition of the word right? but yeah, i guess someone (anyone, any gender) who runs around in tight fitting clothes exposing skin is doing so because that's so comfortable, and to stay cool? maybe it's too increase blood circulation? hm.
christ man, get over it. dress is often focused on attracting the opposite (or the same) sex. bodies are alluring. that's why dudes with big guns where tight fitting shirts. and so on. it doesn't bother me. does it bother you?
and the OP used the word "slutty". i guess i should have stuck with that over provacative. much less controversial right?
1) If women perceive your "kind and friendly" behavior as "creepy," then you are not behaving "kind and friendly." You are, in fact, behaving like a "creep."
that's just not true. a lot of it depends on if there's mutual attraction. take two guys, one with brad pitt looks, and another with steve buscemi looks. put the same words in their mouth. see what happens.
what makes someone creepy is when they don't take a hint. you can't fault someone for trying.
Want to come across as "kind and friendly"?
yes, thanks for the "how to talk to girls 101" lesson. you are clearly the expert.
There would be no booth babes if they didn't provide value, and that they do is an indictment of the crowd attending
oh get off your high horse. what are you indicting them for? finding women attractive?
Actually they can still have booth babes they just need to look professional. Personally a beautiful woman tastefully dressed is more of a turn on than the slutty look anyway.
maybe it's a personal problem that you assume a woman that dresses provocatively is a "slut". well, i guess if she dresses like that it must mean she wants it all the time right?
wait, i guess you did only say "slutty look", so she looks like a slut but may not be one? i encourage you to try that distinction on the next "slutty looking" woman you come across and see if it makes a difference.
Google keeps telling us what the future is going to be
really? i thought they were just a bunch of nice guys that like spending billions of dollars on R&D out of the goodness of their hearts?
really, really sick of folks treating the rest of us like we're idiots. we ALL KNOW that google uses analytics and customer data to earn a profit. we get it, we fully understand. you're not dropping some massive bomb of reality on us shattering our view of the world.
most of the world is okay with it. getting some targeted ads is a damn small price to pay for the massive infrastructure of services that google provides without charge, IMHO. fine, you don't agree, but stop patronizing us. we get it, and we don't agree with you.
man did your mom do a number on you
It wasn't a hacked account, though.
yes i know that. it looked suspicious (rightly so) and got put on hold because of it. that's a good thing.
your account wasn't put on hold as punishment for not logging in. it was done so because your actions makes your account look like it was abandoned, then hacked.
hey dummy, if you are going to make a bunch of claims about steam, people may make the assumption that you use it, or have done so in the past.
but no, i guess you are just someone that gets off on hating shit you don't use and have no experience with. my mistake.
