  1. Look it is all in the name of progress. Who else has the ability to irresponsibly blow up rockets but Elon? Move fast and break things baby. Too bad them pussy apollo guys didn't have billions and geniuses with all the computing power in the world.
  2. So where are the leopard posts? I miss those.
  3. Interpol is better than both of them multiplied by 10. Foo Fighters really only has one song I seek out, Down in the Park, is a cover. Killers are more interesting than FF to me. Archers of Loaf mutherfuckers!!!
  4. The first article had several links associated with it, including peer reviewed articles. I am not sure why you glossed over that. For example, one links to another, which cites the source as a 2022 paper in the Journal of Academy of Management, (abstract). Another is written by BCG and another by McKinsey, and while not up to the peer reviewed standard, they operate in this segment and have some expertise. The analog would be similar to listening to Dr. Offit or Fauci about their recommendation on how to navigate a pandemic with a novel virus without having direct expertise on the matter. Sure it is an appeal to authority to some degree, but that authority has credentials. And being a lawyer, you often cite cases which is just the opinion of some subjective people, not exactly a higher standard. Heck, so many of them are wrong but they just defer to the other guy who said something. Your SCOTUS is littered with historical idiocy and corruption. BTW I knew you you latch on to that one. IIRC, the issue was that the study didn't differentiate between DEI as a platitude and DEI as a company culture commitment which in one of the other sources linked, discussed this aspect in greater detail. And yet, they still found to some degree a positive correlation, had they had a slightly more robust study, they would have segmented the data into categories and then analyzed it and included the statistical output so we could see the null hypothesis results. The diversity programs failing HBR is a little dated and narrow in its focus. While it is true the video for new employees and subsequent testing method is not a great initiative and does little to impact the culture of an organization, that doesn't mean that a cultural change within the organization will have the same impact. The interesting aspect of that article was the lawsuits paid out for harassment claims, and they should have looked into the rates in which those maintained, increased or decreased through time and awareness. What are included in the previous links are surveys on employee engagement, reduction in turnover, financial performance gains, some of which is linked to expansion into new markets based on diversity. Of course this could also be bad, if they just know better neighborhoods to dump toxic chemicals into.
  5. If only there were articles on this subject like this, that and this and uh. It's like that and like this and like that and uh.
  6. hahaha. people reading in the future. haha.
  7. Safety is often a platitude and a check box that gets ignored as well. That doesn’t mean it should be disregarded because some company pays it lip service.
  8. What is amazing is that if you are really fucking bored and want to look through the 10K of Coca Cola, you will see how a mature company writes about DEI. These clowns did it to themselves. how brave of you.
  9. It is not really just a measure of intelligence and education (those help) but how our brains work and how we identify our values. Some of us have an internal moral/ethical foundation that is very strong, some of us need an outsider to tell us these. Some have clearly defined values while others need someone to tell it to them. Some people want to live in their fictionalized authoritarian utopia, because they are lazy and happy, and can easily ignore what isn't happening to them, or dismiss what happens to others as simple hysterics. Christians and Republicans often lack these internal values/ethics. I did ask my father "What could Trump do that would make you not vote for him? " and his answer was "nothing." That clearly pointed to a lack of values/ethics and how this has moved into what @TahoeHorn accused others of, identity politics/cult of personalities. That is all this is to them. A game, a reality TV show, and a fictionalized struggle against the forces of evil: Jesus, freedom, choice, education, science, and at the root of it, responsibility.
  10. I was willing and hoping to believe that was a small segment of the police. Then I met them.
  11. Biden made a mistake and those around him made a mistake of not coaching him through the process better. But the American people made a much bigger mistake electing a felonious conman and russian asset to accelerate the oligarchic takeover.
  12. I would take Richard Nixon (or his corpse) over Trump.
  13. So we are not all billionaires here?
  14. I think I would like @Brisketexan in real life, but I don’t want him moist.
  15. Make a commitment to vote in primaries or continue to let the crazies only select the candidates. Also check this out, if you want a feel good story.
  16. delete
  17. I do love the added class of ice cream scooped mashed potatoes.
  18. How were the dicks, asking for a poster.
