  1. Past hour
  2. I feel like anyone who was moderately intelligent and genuinely cared about moving forward in this country with how we treat minorities could see how unabashedly shallow these giant companies were being. I'm not exactly buying Lockheed Martin's commitment to diversity because they changed their LinkedIn company profile to be rainbow during gay pride month.

  4. Someone replied to my comment on facebook
  5. whoa whoa whoa keep that in NSAA
  6. Honestly it’s a nice summation of the problem with American evangelical Christianity. They don’t just want to ride their camel through the eye of the needle, they also want a police escort and a marching band.
  7. Does the University of Ljubljana even have a football team?
  8. What you fail to comprehend is that they believe it’s DEI all the way down. Admission to undergrad? DEI. Passing classes and graduating? DEI. Or affirmative action since these particular women are older and these accomplishments predate the term DEI.
  9. If he had not been a racist, misogynistic, homophobic, disingenuous, right-wing troll, I bet more people would be speaking kindly of him.
  10. Started one piece 3 Christmas’ ago. I’m on episode 196
  11. Interesting from the Houston Chronicle regarding his ties to the Austin area. I remember hearing about Redford learning to swim in Barton Springs.
  12. Why, so he can get re-injured against a glorified HS? I see no benefit to Wisner playing in this game. He, of all people, doesn't need more practice. If Texas can't win this game with only running plays and walk on RB's there will definitely not be a bowl game.
  13. This is a stupid post. Yes, we could found other ways to finance things. You could get a fucking truck with a zero credit score if you put enough cash down and feel like paying 30%, too. Of course, that's also fucking retarded. Every dollar the AD or University would have spent would have been less money for NIL, players, and/or the University.
  14. Let’s. Fucking. Go.
  15. Dicker's name should be "retired" on DKR with Layne, Nobis, Earl, Ricky, VY, and Colt
  16. I’d like to think if I was in an online group and someone said “hey i got a gun and I’m headed to go kill so and so” that I’d turn their asses in. I am not saying this is what happened here. How do you know if they are even serious? I bring this up bc almost every shooter in the last decade has communicated their intentions online and it doesn’t seem like anyone took the hundreds of so doing this shit seriously at all, sad.
  17. Bingo. Shit, we can have that discussion about sexual harassment and sexual harassment training (as just another example of a policy that is both necessary and helpful, AND can be silly, burdensome, and counterproductive). Bosses telling subordinates they have to suck their dick to get a promotion: we can uniformly agree that is bad, and places should have a policy against it. Extremes that lead to silly SNL skits like this one show us that sexual harassment training can indeed reach levels of absurdity: Takeaway? Any and all policies, rules, etc. can be misused, have outliers, etc. The answer is to address the instances of misuse/misapplication. That is NOT what happened with DEI. It, instead, became a not-even-subtle codeword for "reverse discrimination, we must protect our white men!" Oh, and DEI isn't just for large organizations. I work in a mid-size outfit, and if all we did was interview and hire lawyers through our existing network, we'd be limiting the fuck out of our pool. Having an approach that has us look at a broad spectrum of schools, including places that none of us attended, gives us a much better sample size to hire from. When it comes time to hire, we're still going to hire the best candidate who seems like they can perform the specific job the best, but it also means that we may have a minority candidate or two in the mix when we otherwise wouldn't have. And truthfully, that cuts in ALL directions, or it can at a given point in time. Take into account this fact: 60% of college students are female. At many law schools, nearly 70% of the student body is female. If a law firm wants to have diverse perspectives, and attorneys who are familiar with and adept at communicating in and across gender lines, it would seem wise to try to make sure that you at least have decent outreach to the males in the student body, so they drop their resumes too. You still may end up hiring women at a 60-40 clip, because you're going to hire the best candidate for a job, but if you don't get but one male resume for a job, and 10 female resumes, then your odds of hiring a male have dropped below what the baseline should be. None of this matters, though. Because politically, the term "DEI" doesn't have anything to do with that. It means that any policy that doesn't default to white males, and hiring through existing networks (which historically and to present, for many higher-end jobs, are dominated by white men who know other white men), must be banned.
  18. you're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you...
  19. We wandered the desert of barely mediocrity for almost 2 decades because we had shit QBs after shit QBs after shit QBs. It all started with GDGG. Arch, get your fucking shit together. Sark, plug the fucking plug quick if he stays shitty. We cannot let this shit turn into a GDGG situation which gets everyone fired for decades.
