No where does that source say Biden tried to shut down the Internet. The closest is this part

Donald Trump publicly advocated that “in some places” we have to talk about “closing up the Internet.” He got his wish, but it came after him personally following his election in 2016. The very free speech about which he made fun turned out to be rather important to him and his cause.

Also I can’t take a site seriously when one of their sources they link to is the Twitter user “End Wokeness”

There are some parts I agree with, but there’s plenty there that’s right wing dog whistles for “I want to say hateful things and have no consequences” free speech

They said it CAN be a nightmare when it’s bad weather. Being a parent is hard, and there are parts that are mentally, physical, and emotionally exhausting. Especially when they’re so young they could die just sleeping the wrong way.

You’re being unnecessarily obtuse and combative. It brings nothing to the table and alienates the people you’re talking to. If you want to be taken seriously, try approaching the subject with a little bit of maturity and empathy. You can even have the same message that someone isn’t right to have kids, without coming across like a random asshole on the Internet

For the IAU records on Wikipedia, yeah. A couple things to keep in mind, 80% of the people who complete an ultra marathon are male. And the gap between the sexes, some estimate around 4% for ultra marathons, seems to be trending down.

Here’s better research I found. You’re right, men still win more often and have the records. But honestly it’s more complicated than just who is faster.

It’s in the ultra marathons that women keep up with men and sometimes beat them

There’s a point at which women do tend to get better at endurance racing and often surpass men. And it’s in the ultra long distance races. Which actually tracks, as hunting would have likely been a mix of long and ultra long distance running

Is there an issue with a backend programmer also being an admin/mod?

If nobody talked about it, how do you know it was normal behavior?

Yeah they do, I’m just pointing out that the law doesn’t say a business has to. Sorry, being pedantic

The people getting up in arms are upset because they see it as a slippery slope. First just the idiots pay for subscriptions, then it creeps into the lives of everyone. And eventually it’s harder to avoid the bullshit than just pay, and the whole market becomes more predatory. Like if the idiots give companies an inch, they’ll eventually take a mile

Sadly I think they’re legally allowed to not serve gay people in certain states. The minimum is just hiring gay people :(

Yeah, probably wrong. There’s not a bunch of third party info on the environmental impact this factory will have, and no evidence anyone was bribed. If it makes you feel better, this isn’t their first factory and I couldn’t find any negative news about that factory either. Community leaders were supportive though, and a bunch of jobs were created.

I did find some articles about the positive environmental impact sodium batteries have from production, to relative ease of recycling, if that makes you feel better.

I can think of an America specific reason to not block all communication with the outside world in a school. Even if every room has a wired landline that worked and was accessible to students and teachers

We don’t need evenly distributed emotions! They’ll just trickle down from the most emotional to the rest of us

Black Girl Games is one of several consulting companies that promote more diversity in games and other media. Not to exclude white people completely.

Let’s see what we can agree on here, please stop me when you disagree with my statement.

1. Racism still exists and is a problem in the world today

2. The best tool we have against racism is knowledge and exposure to other cultures and ethnicities

3. Having more than two or three AAA games with a main character that is a minority will give gamers that first hand experience with the represented culture

4. Therefore, more representation is good for combating racism and as an extra benefit is giving more diverse worlds/stories to play

5. There are still a metric buttload of games with white main characters or character creators that let you be white

6. Minorities will be happy to see themselves represented

7. Diversity is not the enemy, and companies are trying to level the playing field, not erase white people

I want to know specifically what your problem with dei efforts are so we can clear up any confusion.

Nope, wife works at a hospital and they don’t have a paper backup of everything. They were affected by the outage and it was apparently a pretty tough night.

They can still work, but there obviously will be a serious delay switching to paper everything. You might want to look into the legislation that you’re thinking of to see what it specifically says.

And I’m pretty sure there are ways to prevent what happened that have nothing to do with having medical professionals chart everything on both a computer and on paper. That just sounds really inefficient.

Wow, just looked into it cuz I hadn’t heard about that. And yeah, it looks like that’s exactly what he did a month after becoming CEO. In fact it looks like they closed the entire publishing side of the company and possibly laid those employees off. Super disappointed to hear that from the studio behind such a beloved game

Yes 400k would be surprising. But if the claim is true and he never missed a day in 27 years of working there, and Burger King gave him a goodie bag? That’s on the other end of surprising, like that’s an incredible feat and seriously impressive loyalty to the company. It should be rewarded with something a little more substantial imo

Blatantly false title. Please don’t exaggerate and add inflammatory commentary that’s misleading, it detracts from the conversation.

Omg I can practically see it, incredible

They’re not mocking the religion tho, they’re using it as part of their game but removing the melanin. It’s whitewashing basically, that’s what they’re upset about. It’s really only tangentially related to religion
