It's still odd seeing people proudly being racist. It will be great when you all go slithering back to your holes.

if you're not a straight, white, male, it's acknowledging the extra hurdles of discrimination (intentional or not), and the limited access to famialial resources that you might have to overcome for which the straight white male would not
Assuming you know something about someone only due their skin color is pretty fucking racist. That includes assuming a white person has familial resources, or assuming that a non white doesn't.
It's odd sitting here having to explain that stereotypes are bad.
Are you implying "anti racist discrimination" is justified by your quote? I agree with your quote, but it is not supportive of Kendi's quote in the slightest. To discriminate is to "unjustly treat categories of people", so if someone is acting racist and you don't tolerate them, that is not discrimination at all because you are judging them for their actions, not their looks.
I'm guessing not all hypotheses receive the same interest or funding to begin with. Definitely seems to be a selection bias on what actually gets funded/studied. Even worse, when they withhold results they don't like from being published.
Weight should absolutely be a factor in registration fees. Between road damage, their environmental cost, and danger they pose it's a no brainer.
Oh yeah, I was just clarifying my original position. I appreciate your insight.
"The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination"
Yeah I wasn't talking about either scenario from a participatory POV. Moreso speaking to the general interest.
You can be interested in something without wishing for it or wanting to participate. I'm sure women who listen to serial killer podcasts don't want to be featured in one.
Im not saying that didn't happen but it's very surprising, I never experienced that in Seattle. In Seattle academia/institutions, theu usually doubled down on diversity rhetoric, and I've yet to see anyone push back on it.
Do Israeli institutions not have mechanisms to dismiss officials who vocalize rhetoric like this?
QA could use some unionizing across the software/game industry imo.
It's amazing how buggy websites of billion dollar companies are. They either don't have a QA team or don't prioritize any of the bugs they file. If I were still in that field I'd probably team up with some litigious ADA lawyers.
And portable cd players were rated by how well the could handle movement, which basically meant many seconds they could hold in memory to prevent skips.
