Brilliant deduction. I never realized that men had such homogeneous psyches that your emotional situation can be an accurate description of all men's emotions. Good job missing my point. That's what we want to investigate and see if it is possible. Your position seems to be completely dedicated to resisting any attempts at discovery of whether or not that is possible, because if it turns out it is, that would upset the natural order you have delusionally convinced yourself is innate and independent of outside influence. What's stopping them from being interested in those fields now other than their own uninterest? They're forced to take math and science regardless, if they have a love for it they'll go into it as they progress through the education system. I don't think there's a single person in this world who advocates pressuring people into industries they do no want to be in. This is where you've entered strawman territory.
You literally just said that men are coerced to be independent earners and that pressures them into high paying careers. This is contradiction territory.

get into field Y but is met with a lot of prejudice and obstacles. Quotas (which I don't even agree with much) can help. Few people in group A want to get into field B and are met with very little resistance when they do try. Quotas are not at all necessary, so they're not used. Apples and pears. What actual resistances are they facing en masse outside of of their own uninterest? And quotas aren't being used not because their unnecessary, they're not being used because it's illegal. At least, its illegal to use hard numbers, for whatever reason companies and universities are still allowed to bullshit vague estimates. I'd hardly call listening to the complaints of many of your employees and avoiding even more negative PR a "stunt" though. And who's even talking about training young girls or women not being happy in their field? Giving them more opportunities doesn't really harm anyone. If you're in a high end office job that ISN'T HR and your only complaint is that you think there's too many white dudes working there, you really shouldn't be working there. Because that's not what you're getting paid to do.

I don't see many people (if any at all) mention the lack of males in nursing fields, which is a pretty high end job yet only 10% are males. Want to know why I'm not trying to be a nurse? Because it doesn't interest me. Not only is this a shitty PR stunt, but it's another stupid attempt at trying to force a square peg through a round hole. You can start young and train girls to be engineers when they grow up, but can anyone guarantee they'll be happy and that it would what they want? What's the point of gloating about how many females and minorities are in your tech department if they all hate their job and would've rather done something else in life? No, because their sole purpose is to give women or minority groups a way into typically high end corporate jobs that they want but otherwise find pretty inaccessible. If there's no need for quotas in certain fields, there's not going to be any.

Things should be alright as long as the individual keeps their work/personal life separate. For example, no one is going to higher someone who walks into the office with an SS uniform. But on the same token, if a person is posting anonymously on Stormfront and has no linkage to their work, that is of ZERO concern to the company they work for. Adam may want there to be a connection so that he can feel morally superior by never interacting with them, but it will never happen. Which is why his comments just come off as stupid instead of actually threatening. This Adam Fletcher individual (who now is a CEO of another software company) has publicly stated (see above image) that he would never work with/employ certain individuals regardless of their merit.

It's not so much that diversity is a problem, but so much as companies turning it into one. Apple (rightfully) got some shit for it a few years back. I don't see why people have a problem with diversity in the first place.

I find it funny how Adam Fletcher makes laughably stupid comments like that, as if he somehow knows if someone is a hostile voice going into an interview. Either he's being incredibly invasive and digging up shit on people before he hires/moves someone to his teams (which I'm sure breaks numerous workplace safety laws), if not then he has no fucking idea and this comment comes off as thuggish and hostile, which does nothing to help his company which has already been suffering a PR disaster for almost half a year now. I just wish people like him understood that they'll never, ever ban all views you don't like. I mean, what's the point in even fucking living in a world like that? It's just so hilariously stupid....
1 hour between the time the video was posted and the Twitter ban, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

It's kind of hard to take this comment seriously when they plan on rolling out new "features" on Youtube that will essentially shutdown political content creators if they're holding an opinion they don't like. Google executives initially appeared to be caught off guard by the document and the uproar. Danielle Brown, the company's new vice president of diversity and inclusion, posted a response late Saturday that both criticized some of the statements in Damore's missive and said Google sought an "open, inclusive environment" that accommodates multiple political views.

How much was the OW one? The gang's all here. Need to buy some more. I want to get some authentic Godzilla figures but those cost a fortune.

I'm sure some of you will remember the Gunpla I built a little over a year ago, I have several boxes of new ones but no space so I haven't built them yet. ;_; Then there's the figure of Midgardsormr that came with the Heavensward CE. It's a nice figure but it doesn't stick to the stand so it can easily fall off.... And lastly I have the Zenos figure that came with the Stormblood CE. I also have a Noctis figure from the FFXV CE and the Noble Team statute, but the cats broke Noble Team and the Noctis figure hasn't left the box so I don't have pics of them.

What are you so afraid of? Committing social suicide, being judged by others, having the awkwardness between us whenever we interact. DO IT, just do it I don't think Shia had this in mind when he started saying that.

Her DCfanboy to Marvelfanboy conversion is quite extraordinary. Did you let her know that rotten tomatoes are paid Marvel shills and all of the marvel movies should have <50%?

I haven't been blunt about asking her out, but I like to stay positive. You're with a girl??

Spent all day yesterday with the cutie from work I saw Spider-Man with. She's super into Marvel and has me doing "Homework" basically catching up on all the Marvel films I haven't seen.
So right now I'm watching Iron Man 3, and man I don't know what to think about it. I don't like how the main bad guy is just a druggie actor but at least the rest of the plot is coherent.

I don't think I've ever seen a recent picture of Kits. I think I've only seen her in that thread on past photos.

I have it a bit more than candy but it's still mostly a rarity. What about ice-cream?

Way ahead of you, generally I only have candy and other high-sugared goods during special occasions. Eat less sugar. Or at least try.
