Comment Re:and the Dutch like Pepe Le Pew? (Score -1) 78

You and everyone else on the Left knows damn well why LatinX was adopted: because Spanish is an inhernetly sexist language. The terms Latino and Latina are sexist; hence a neutral replacement was devised. It's the same reason we stopped using he and she and went to they and them as generic pronouns. You'll notice Youtube creators carefully always use them because using the other ones get your videos penalized by your political allies at Google who very firmly believe in rejecting sexism. Remember when they fired James Damore for his anti-diversity screed? All of those people still work at Google. Funny, the biggest, most threatening enemies of theRNC in AmeriKKKa aren't on the Left, they are MAGA. Trump cast out the warmongering neocons and they were furious. Liz Cheney was so angry she started working for Democrats, because at least they're pro-war.

Yeah, sure...

Is anybody surprised by this?

I know Yen retracted his statement, but that's not good enough. I don't trust him like I wouldn't trust Elon Musk if he apologized for the Nazi salutes, because doing it once kills your credibility forever - or at least makes it exceedingly hard to prove you're not that person later on.

Proton should have thrown Yen out immediately after that incident if they had wanted to preserve their reputation and they didn't. So I don't trust Proton.

Or it's a new take on the "RTO Mandate" approach to headcount reduction leveraging a kind of reverse Dunning-Kruger.

Right now, everyone at Opendoor is thinking of their colleagues and wondering if they are in the 15% that won't get the cut. For a team of 20, that means you've got to either truly believe that you're in the top three of that group, are blissfully naive, or will be polishing your CV and getting it out to agencies this weekend, and since company morale just went to shit, there's a pretty good chance that a chunk of those who *are* confident they'll make the cut will be doing the same, because once everyone else is gone they're going to have a lot more work to do. Good luck running the company on the blissfully naive remants.

Yes, there's probably a LOT of deadwood at Opendoor but, like RTO Mandates, this isn't the best way to get rid of it, and will have the same result as RTO; a lot of the best and brightest will be deciding the door they really want is the exit door.

You fucking kidding me? The Aunt Jemima logo was an ancient "Mammy" stereotype and was racist as fuck. It was removed for a reason, and it wasn't "liberals" who did it. The root of liberal is "liberty". Liberals believe in free speech. It is Leftists who want to police the speech of anyone they don't like. Like one just did to Charlie Kirk. That's why we had to change to chest feeders and birthing persons. Liberals had nothing to do with that. Leftists despise liberals, just ask them! One of their slogans is "liberals get the bullet too."

Elon's MechaHitler doesn't quality for the AI Darwin Awards because it's still very much alive and spreading its poison.

Winning a Darwin Award implies that the recipient removed him- or herself from the gene pool through stupidity. In the case of AI, I would assume the most important criterion is that the egregious AI has been pulled our. MechaHitler hasn't.
