Exactly.

> Latinx employees Is there an affinity group for the overwhelming majority of "Latinx" people who don't use or like this term?

Well did he email his management with a list of demands they weren't willing to meet, saying that he'd resign if the demands weren't met? Because that appears to be what Gebru has …

> the leaker was also fired Really? I never heard this, and I followed the Damore drama very closely at the time. It's an interesting detail; do you have a source?

Eh, I'm not sure what point I was trying to make, and to be clear I don't think your comment was racist. Culture is obviously correlated with race in some respects. It's when you s…

Well whether or not you think the quote is true, the only point I was trying to make is that the truth of the quote doesn't depend on who said it.

This is correct.

Fact check: James Damore never said this in his own defense and afaik didn't publicly reveal that he's on the spectrum until the Guardian wrote a profile of him months after the in…

Ridiculously, people are starting to use this term in the UK too, even though white people are the indigenous ones here.

> By "African-American" here I mean descendants of slaves who lived in the USA, and are thus severely disadvantaged because of it, having actual wealth stolen without any legal mea…

> What makes you think POC are equivalent with woke activists? It's actually the opposite of the truth; "woke" activists/SJWs/whatever you want to call them are disproportionately …

> culture is strongly connected to race. In another context this statement would be seen as overtly racist.

That quote is often attributed to Voltaire, but, sadly, it actually belongs to Kevin Alfred Strom, a white nationalist.[0] Doesn't make the quote less true though. [0] https://en.w…

But far less carbon-efficient than just not buying so much unnecessary crap in the first place.

> They don't publish unsubstantiated trash Ever heard of the 1619 Project?

I used to have fun filling in those reCAPTCHAs with incorrect answers. They would show you two words, and it was always obvious which word was the actual CAPTCHA test and which was…

What happens if the person is driving at high speed when the signal comes to shut the car down? Does it only take effect when they park? Do they get a warning before parking that t…

It's funny, because I always hear people talking about how creepy and stupid all these personalised ads are, but I have honestly never noticed. I've been blocking adverts on every …

What if people already have enough pointless junk? My problem is not that I want to see ads that are more "relevant", it's that I don't want to see ads. I don't care what you're se…

D'oh. My "5 to 10 points" was off the top of my head based on some numbers I saw being thrown around last week but I didn't bother to double-check. Thanks for keeping me factual. I…

I posted this elsewhere in the thread but even without exit polls we can make some reasonably solid conclusions from geographical voting data: https://sweep.thedispatch.com/p/the-s…

It astonishes me that anyone can think "cancel culture" is a right-wing myth.

Biden won by razor-thin margins in the swing states, underperformed his polls by 5 to 10 points across the country, and got crushed in several states which pollsters had said were …

It's what the exit polls say, although the main lesson we've learned this year is not to trust polls. What's clearer is that Trump made big gains in areas of the country with a hig…
