This is rather hilariously slanted. "Bigotry by subreddit". Really? "[TumblrInAction], a subreddit dedicated to mocking Tumblr – where marginalized groups, particularly LGBTQ, post…

Go away Guardian, nobody wants to hear you talk about video games, especially not when you pretend "game maker studio 2000" is game development.

Just because it's a regulatory requirement doesn't mean it's not a bug.

The authors admitted in a Gamasutra article they didn't really understand their own model, but it was getting too much traffic for them to mess with it. Does that sound like credib…

Ah yes, the evil evil HN and its sexism. Or maybe this is just one of the few places where women aren't automatically given special treatment, because it's inhabited by people with…

No but you've pulled this exact same "do you know who I am???" spiel before. I remember the account name. Didn't care then either. Hint: if you were relevant, you wouldn't need to …

As opposed to the special snowflake club ignoring the politically inconvenient research done in the last 20 years on gender equality? Differences in in-group bias, differences in h…

Meanwhile nobody still gives a shit about the way women treat men, or men's "lived experiences". You complain, people listen. We complain, we are told to suck it up. For some reaso…

I can't help but see your comment as a symptom of the problem it's describing. Not trolling, but geek bias... specifically the blind spot of assuming everyone is as sincere as you.…

What would you call soliciting money on Early Access, using it to pay off previous investors, and then cancelling the project?

Double Fraud productions? No thank you. Tim Schafer, you are an insufferable, money-wasting, hypocritical bastard. Gets 8x as much money as he asked for, then delivers less than ha…

Insanity. 90% of linear algebra can be understood from graphically examining affine transforms. Doing visuals last is what leads people to conceive of matrix-vector multiplication …

When you have no valid point to make, attack the messenger. Don't project how you feel about my opinion onto me, I'm happy and optimistic that this whole oppression charade is fina…

If that's true then why do mathematicians seem allergic to improving their own language, while software developers seem to constantly invent new ones?

No, it's only a problem when it happens to women. When it happens to men, it's called "life", "man up" and "stop being such a pussy".

>(eg being a woman) It is amazingly courageous how you manage to go through life with such an inescapable handicap. It must be so hard for you, having to contend with the possibili…

From experience, it's the people who admit others into the U.S. who need the IQ test.

Because everyone who doesn't live in one of the SJW/progressivist cult bastions realizes that: a) Talk is cheap, action matters, and the PC police's main strategy is to complain un…

Why do we teach everyone history? Because it's valuable to know where we came from, and to realize that whatever's going on today, it's probably happened before. Why do we teach ev…

If your upset is about stereotypes and speculation, why did you bother to specify the gender of the author? "It makes me lose respect for the person who thinks they can pontificate…

But you too seem to be pretending that your individual experiences make you an authority on women in science. No amount of pushing for women in science has worked, in fact, more ge…

Why do you think creating interest from real life is going to make them not "want to learn math"? That makes no sense. Teaching is all about benevolent dishonesty. The first thing …

It's an inconsistent mess that destroys muscle memory. The new notifications are retarded. The "privacy conscious" notification screen is useless, won't even show you a clock timer…

Teenagers do not understand Twitter because Twitter is high school for adults.

You know the problem with that sentiment? Most people do not find abstract patterns and rote symbolic manipulation to be interesting. They simply don't, and if you teach math class…
