  1. And I’ve practiced for three decades and know plenty of firms that hire good numbers of associates (including mine) that do not have a broad-spectrum practice. For example, we have several practice groups/disciplines, but all in the same “space.” That space tends to draw more women, decent numbers of minorities, and in several practice groups, people with a technical background. I know other firms where the practice is more “corporate” in nature. The poop of candidates interested in that is whiter and more male. None of these are “exclusive” to one demographic or another, but the practice and firm type often skew things.
  2. Dude…have you been spying on the drawings of naval battles I did when I was 8? Because that’s EXACTLY how they looked. Tactically sound, I’m 100% confident, because I was surely a genius prodigy.
  3. Ignore the reply where I noted that it very much depends on what the firm does/specializes in. Different practices often have different ethnic mixes of the candidates who are interested in that practice. Zero racism by the hiring firm necessary, the pool of M&A candidates is gonna be a lot whiter than the pool of family law or even litigation candidates.
  4. Dude. Most of our current information ecosystem aimed at young white males is "talking to angry kids" in EXACTLY that way. That's a huge part of the problem.
  5. Yeah. This is actually the part of the deal that makes some sense. These guys have some "remedial education" that they REALLY need. It would be very difficult to obtain -- and brutal if and when they get it -- in the real-world marketplace. But if there's a safer place to do so, aimed at achieving the particular goal of giving them some real education into the dos and don'ts of female interaction.....lord help me, but I see some value there. Because yeah...if you dropped 30 year old Brisket in the dating pool while he was burdened with the cluelessness and...not great skill level of 16 year old Brisket, I imagine that 30 year old Brisket would have flamed out pretty badly. And once you materially fall behind, it just gets worse and worse.
  6. "We used AI to buttfuck you. We are very, very sorry.... ...that we got caught."
  7. Counterpoint: it is currently 5:13 pm, and I would experience unspeakable joy if I got the news of his death at 5:14 pm.
  8. Ahh yes. Aesthetics. That's my #1 priority when it comes to a weapons platform -- is it pretty? FFS. We're going to end up with the naval equivalent of this, aren't we?
  9. Well, it hadn't occurred to me at least. Excellent work, Kojak.
  10. As a separate note, every time I see the thread title, one of two things pops into my head: 1) That's odd, I've never heard of that law firm and 2) Surely that was a cool detective buddy comedy/action series on CBS in 1992 or so, right? Like, Epstein drove a nice Mercedes, but the gag was that he totally had a Jewish name but wasn't Jewish at all, and Maxwell was kinda shady and drove a Chevelle with a girl's name (like, "Marlene") that he was always trying to work on and soup up just a little bit more, she didn't look like much but she had heart where it counts (pats hood)?
  11. I dunno. Average surly poster:
  12. That's really fucking clever.
  13. I still don't get the "human error." The directions say to turn right in .5 miles, the map shows the route turning right in about .5 miles...? I don't like the way the map is ORIENTED (looks like it is oriented with north at the top), as I prefer my map to be oriented showing me going "up" on the screen no matter which direction that is, but I can navigate with it the way shown as well.
  14. He works with human beings with some racial biases. Which we all do. And for that matter, oddly enough, even minorities and women can still look more favorably on a good looking white dude, because socially, that's what America is trained to think that's what "leadership" looks like. It's just a reality. Kinda like the very attractive gal with an incredible rack is going to get more attention and chances for promotion than Marla Hooch. And yeah, kinda like a dude with face tats probably isn't going to end up managing partner at Skadden.
