Would you find their behaviour acceptable? Would you find it positive?
Let's say there's 20 Bobs in your class, and they are pushy, not pushy because that would be harrasment ;) Also the Bobs don't give a shit about the class, they just got in to talk about [INSERT ANNOYING HOBBY]. It's…
I've seen some downright hideous guys get laid and get a girlfriend. They didn't use first year classes as a shittier Tinder, nor were they especially aggressive. The problem seems to be elsewhere...
"There's people starving and being sexually assaulted, so any concern you have is invalid."
They didn't say subtle, or that you had to track the entirety of the hypothetical 1000.
A smug upperclassmen != Good teacher
Let's change the subjects from "horny upperclassmen" to "MLM representatives that want to get new suckers". Would you be fine with going to a class where a significant percentage of people are trying to get you to sell…
Damore was (with a lot of benefit of the doubt) totally clueless. Sure, he'll talk about how he thinks that discrimination is bad, and how he doesn't approve of sexism. He turns around and says that women are just…
Simply an average mall cop in Night City.
Cynical about the literal CIA? I'm still not convinced it's not some weird counter-productive PSYOP.
>In the academy, left-wing beliefs dominate; therefore, the affirmative action supporters would be first and foremost demanding preferences for conservatives, libertarians, moderates, fascists, monarchists, and other…
Saying "You just don't get it" isn't really an argument. The only times I've seen Myers-Briggs used are either as harmless entertainment ("Look at this meme. I'm such a INFP, tee hee.") or in Brazil-esque corporate…
>This is a very naive viewpoint. No it's not, the relationship between the company itself and the employees is fundamentally hostile, the desires of the shareholders will, also, expand to fill up all of space-time if…
If they treat their employees well they have nothing to fear.
Yeah, try that outside a 100 km radius from SV.
They might not be Protestants, but the cultural framework created by them the is still there.
>he is literally the only human completely implacable regarding the degrees of freedom that should be guaranteed to algorithms and software. So he's the Emperor from W40K? Got it. /s
>Yes, he's being aggressive; no, there's nothing wrong with that. Being an asshole is bad, specially when you are asking for help. Not being an asshole doesn't make you a corporate shill nor being an asshole make your…
They chanted about executing your VP.
>Its time to cheer, not to dump. Very poor choice of words.
No, but that's never stopped anyone.
Welp, we're back at the Gilded Age.
> I personally hope both San Francisco and all of California suffers fiscal collapse. And you are surprised that the residents hate you? I dislike plenty of cities but ideating about their absolute collapse speaks a lot.
The subset of techies you are talking about like to think that about themselves like that. They're as emotional and biased as the rest of us mortals, proof of that for example is characterizing the comment as irrational…
That's another issue, my point is that this isn't new. Business have always had political postures and actions, the only different thing is that the illusion of Silicon Valley being "neutral" isn't working anymore.
