There ya go! Right to the misogyny claim. Most very respectfully, you need to stop using that as your initial attack.

It's not an attack - I'm just asking for evidence, specifically, that, to quote my earlier question, the "department specifically hired non-qualified women to work in your department, because they were women" and that there were better-qualified men who were not hired because they were men. That's the basis of your complaint, and without any evidence, it comes across as misogynistic. 1. It is definitely an attack - words have meaning, and your claiming that I hate women is not only untrue, it is ipso-facto an attack on my integrity.

I've worked in some very progressive and liberal places, but none of them had a quota for hires. Your office did? What was the quota?

Allow me to ask where I ever typed quota. If you need reminded of what I actually typed, it was "The goal was at least 50/50 mix" Goals are not quotas.

I don't have any idea how I can prove what the equity policy, was from that time, only it was a university environment, and there was a strong push to have a 50/50 mix. You can either believe or not believe, in which case you can just call me a liar who hates women as well. Who enforced it? And you know that there were well-qualified men who were turned down because they were men? I call BS.

"This is a problem men cannot fix"

Yeah, they can. I'm 100% with you in having been seeing how men are become the catch-all scapegoat of all the problems, but I also see that like stereotypes, there's a kernel of truth in the hyperbole.

Then men avoiding women in the workplace not entering into relationships, and not having children is a very good solution to how terrible men are. If no woman is ever made uncomfortable or bothered by any male, she should be quite pleased with her success. She is free of male tyranny, and can live her best life.

Here's a homework assignment for you Watch "Snapped" on the Oxygen Channel. Actual cases of women who kill their boyfriends, husbands, parents, and children. It has been on for around 20 years now, and isn't running out of cases.

Regardless, the fertility rate dropping below replacement is a major win for feminism.

And please, consider that your defense of female DV against men by using more cases of male violence is really offensive. Sorry, but anyone doing violence against their spouse or SO is a criminal, your statement is implicitly saying you consider one worse than the other. And as a man who has never raped, assaulted, or touched a woman without consent, tells me where you stand.

If you didn't believe that you would have prefaced that no person on person violence is ever acceptable.

Which is a funny question given the issue. First off, it's a problem caused by 3rd party software, corrected by having a separate control to have Outlook keep using Edge after someone else's software broke the file associations. So, Microsoft made sure Microsoft software continued to work with Microsoft software despite Google or Mozilla breaking it.

See, those other browsers don't just take the default association for .htm and .html, they change other registry values in those keys, and don't change them back once uninstalled. Instead of "htmlfile", it becomes "ChromeHTML" or "FireFoxHTML", and if you remove Chrome (or FF), those values stick around. Most things don't care, because the extension and content type haven't changed, but a few things do care, and Outlook is one of them.

>"I don't see any crimes here"

Then you need to educate yourself. It is pretty clearly a crime to vandalize property. And it is also a crime in many jurisdictions to set off fireworks. It is where I live. And directing them at people is clearly makes them a weapon.

And then there is the shooting (not these defendants) in which an officer (who was, unarmed, not that it matters) in the neck is beyond reason. It was a charge of attempted murder.

Well, when you're a kid your job is to grow up and not be dependent upon your parents. You will still depend upon others, if for nothing other than company. People go a bit strange when deprived of human contact. Chatting on the internet doesn't quite fill the void either, something about the physical presence of others is important for our minds. Even if you don't like them.

When people are too stupid to figure out something with some effort, basic effort, I don't care. I gave up years ago, either your trying to be an incompetent idiot, or, you're special needs.

Which makes you like the IT guy supporting a store we bought a few years back. Everyone in the store wanted to light him on fire. The first visit, I could have literally punched an employee in the face and the would have liked me more than they liked him.

Which is to say, he doesn't work for us any more.
