Yes, your anecdotal evidence proves that no company will ever succeed with men running it.

That's not what XXongo said, and you know it. You made a claim:

Some people do well by their own efforts, not because they got a job because of their genitalia.

and XXongo responded by essentially saying this (paraphrased):

Some people demonstrate the opposite: they advance in a job for no apparent reason other than their genitalia and skin-color, not because of their efforts.

Go away, strawman.

The filter on an N95 mask works both ways, preventing airborne particles and aerosols from entering your lungs when you inhale, or dispersing outwards when you exhale.

There is one exception: a valved N95 mask is designed to allow outgoing breath to escape unfiltered.

Sometimes good comes out of selfishness. When covid hit, people would thank me for wearing a mask in their presence. I'd tell them, "I'm wearing this to protect myself. The rest of you can get f-ked."

In this case, your selfishness just told others in your presence that you were a prick to be avoided. So, mission accomplished?

You kind of have to think of it as if you were going out to dinner with a large group of friends and you're all trying to decide on a place. A few of your group just says that they're "fine with whatever the rest of y'all pick."

Choosing a government that can influence significantly the lives of everyone is somewhat more consequential than choosing where you want to have dinner. People should be more engaged, and not just let "the crowd" decide who governs.

Would you really blame them when you end up at some restaurant that kind of sucks, or blame the majority who actually chose to go to the lousy restaurant in the first place?

I would blame them both. One group couldn't be assed to influence the result, and the other made a bad choice.

What you quoted in bold is not a statement of fact. It is an allegation from the Justice Department run by then-temporary (but now permanent) Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Let's wait for the actual trial to see whether this gets anywhere. The current administration has had a spotty record of success trying to convert these kinds of indictments into convictions.
