Comment Feminization is the issue (Score 1, Informative) 92

Most HR personnel are women, and some might assert this is the problem, they are the vanguard of the overwhelming feminization of workplaces.

"...Everything you think of as âoewokenessâ is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.

The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently. ..."

My, we are an aggressively stupid dipshit today.

The only thing that meaningfully matters to a cargo ship is size.
Vessels are already slow sailing to artificially constrain bandwidth and prop up rates, and have been since COVID.

Nobody on earth is trying to build FASTER cargo ships, and haven't for 50 years. Jesus Christ. If only slashdot had a "doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about" filter.

I genuinely don't understand why slashdots downvote mafia attacked my former post as troll. Unless I miss my guess I have a fair couple of stalkers that just downvote every post I make, and then pepper my comments with bottish AC replies about Trump and No Kings. :|

Anyway, to your point, if you haven't seen it, I offer for your amusement something relative to your comment from the great Trevor Moore:

Honestly, the problem was Co. v. Riggs (203 U.S. 243 (1906)) that established corporations be treated legally like people.

The moment this happened it was the beginning of the exoneration of c-suites from the consequences of their actions. I suspect that if these individuals' freedom and wealth were liable for the consequences of their choices, the subsequent century would have played out rather differently.

Dipshit alert.
If you want to go to that granularity, there's no Black culture nor Asian culture, etc.

Literally, if there is a society of people that's a) uniformly a single ethnic group and b) collectively acts in ways that are identifiable and predictable to the group, it would be Scandinavians.

I'd recommend you read something by Geert Hofstede, if you can read.

Comment Unsurprising (Score -1, Troll) 32

Who do you believe of two amoral organizations?

Rockstar: giant corp, obviously has a vested interest in painting the employees as shits
Union: ALSO a profit-driven organization just from another direction. Has a vested interest in showing the employees were sainted victims of corporate fascists.

Answer: neither, I simply don't give a shit and would happily see both Rockstar collapse and all of their organizing workers immediately unemployed.

That's pretty much what I finally decided on too. Shrug. I work for a EU firm in the US so we even have a corp car policy that if you get an EV they'll pay for installing a charge station at your house which I suspect I could finagle (or end up paying only an upcharge for) into a decent home-size battery-storage that I've wanted as well.

Maybe my next car-buying cycle.

What people on /. can't seem to wrap their head around is that it's possible to be pro-EV conceptually while recognizing that they might not be the answer to every problem or not there technologically yet:

- yes, I'm a cutting edge tech guy; I would LIKE to drive an ev for all sorts of reasons, some of them irrational
- at the same time, I recognize the shortcomings and have to recognize REAL LIFE calculations of time, value, etc.
