I love how in all of the battle scenes, every weapons systems is firing. Missiles are launching, guns are blasting and lasers are lasering. Because that would totally happen.
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.-

That has nothing to do with that guys firm having a virtually all white summer intern group for 3 years.
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.

Bozo's proposal to reach me would've meant indulging my worst feelings and most wrong beliefs. It would've meant telling me something like "you're right to be angry, they killed your dad for money."

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.

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.

A mentally declining Donald Trump will be little more than his malignant narcissism. People may explain to him why he can't have a third term and that he has to smooth the transition to a new Republican standard-bearer, . . . but this is Donald Trump we're talking about. The notion that the Republican Party--much less the United States--could move on without him is more than he can possibly bear. There is simply no way he can gracefully hand over the Party and his support to someone else.
So starting in 2027, and in ways small and large, he will undermine and diminish whoever is leading the Repubican primary--essentially trying to position himself as the only only possible nominee. If it comes down to a contest between Cruz and Vance, for instance, he will switch his supposed support at least a dozen times. Someone will come into the Convention with enough delegates to secure the nomination, but it probably won't happen until late. And even then, it will be after a bitter primary contest.
And even after someone gets the nomination, Trump will subtly (and not so subtly) undermine the nominee. Until somewhere around October 10 he'll drop the idea that people ought to write him in. And a bunch of his idiot supporters will. It won't be a huge number. But it will be enough to make a material difference in anything approaching a swing state.
And ultimately, that's what Trump wants. He wants to be the last Republican president. Because the notion that the party can exist without him is noxious to his ego.
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.

hey chatgpt, is it possible that there are people that have never taken a screenshot in a car while carplay is running and don't realize that when you do that, it screenshots the phone and the carpplay screen both as an image and further aren't aware that if you send it somewhere without deleting the latter image, it will show precisely what was on their carplay screen including their need for directions to get somewhere in rochester, new york that requires directions (i'm guessing toast factory)?
chatgpt: only idiots.
and if you want to know precisely what fireman4horn was looking at right when he snapped that, here you go:
he was clearly scrolling while waiting for the light to turn green. probably screenshot and in the middle of uploading, the guy behind him honked at him that the light had been green for 10 seconds and to put his fucking phone down and drive.
Well, it hadn't occurred to me at least.
Excellent work, Kojak.

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)?

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.

You honestly believe that you have had advancements over other tall, relatively handsome, socially competent male minority engineers? So you admit you are fine working for a racist organization?
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.

I know you aren't asking me, but I would hazard a guess:
- He works at a good law firm.
- There are a TON of crappy law schools. Tier 3 and 4 level rankings nationally.
- The majority of the racial/ethical minorities that make up your stat come from the law schools that accept anyone with a BA from any schools and arent generally competitive. A lot of the aforementioned are first generation college students who probably didn't go to prestige undergrad.
- The recruiting of a top law firm still targets top targets (undergrads) which still over-represent white (but probably now skew more women).
Texas is 53-47 female to male (and in terms of "the best students," in my experience, it's even more skewed. Probably closer to 60-40). But law schools in Texas still skew white, compared to overall population (in Texas, white population is around 40%):
So, from decent schools, your pool of candidates is going to skew white and female, and the pool of better candidates skews even more heavily female.
It also depends on the field you're hiring for. The pool of candidates interested in high level M&A work is almost certainly going to skew white, and probably even male. Family law? From my experience, more heavily female and minority. IP? Gonna draw more heavily from people who already have engineering and science degrees, which will see asians at a higher percentage than their share of population. No individual case is determinative -- I'm sure there are brilliant black female M&A lawyers, and I know of lots of great white male family law attorneys.
Law is a very variable business, based on the entities hiring, the practice type at issue, etc. What I will suggest that if you look at the top 50 students from any of these schools, they're going to skew even more female than the total female population of the school.

I’d probably say Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Just a truly epic historical fiction novel. The TV miniseries didn’t do it justice at all.

Maybe LD wins. I read it in one sitting. 11 or 12 hours straight (can't remember which). I picked it up at night, and I read all through the night. I literally closed the book as the first bells chimed from the Tower to start the day at 8:00 a.m. An iconic Texas moment to end the iconic Texas book.
I also read sections of LD aloud to my wife's uncle (beloved to me as well) on his death bed. He was a true Texan, it was his favorite book, and it was but a small thing I could do for a man who was kind and welcoming to me.

Again, do you not understand that the consistent theme of what I've posted, including the post you repsonded to is that GenX and Boomer white males did not give up anything or lose any advantage?
Yep. And the term you are looking for is - unironically - called "grandfathering."
If tomorrow, the City of Austin passes a regulation that as of 1/1/26 no new single-family home can be over 1-story tall, then any house that is not already over 1-story or has not applied for a permit under the current rules, cannot be more than 1-story tall. That is a legal framework that presently exists, is enforced nationwide, and does not result in any taking of property or other actionable harm to anyone.
If, on the other hand, the City of Austin passed that same regulation, but followed it with "and we're going to have to tear down 10% of the current 2-story houses," every owner of such a house picked for destruction would have a lay-down taking claim.
To bring the metaphor back home, actually firing or demoting people to make room for someone else would curl your hair and everyone else's, and for good reason. Changing the rules going forward, while it might FEEL unfair relatively speaking, is generally considered fair. Changing them retroactively, and actively taking away rights/things you have? Those are universally regarded as wrong and unfair. And as you seem to be hung up on the fact that Gen Z white males are pissed not because the playing field going forward doesn't favor them as much, but because those who played before aren't being penalized, then . . . yeah. My sympathy/empathy is low. That's just our monkey-banana brain at work. "No matter how many bananas I get, if some other monkey got more, I'm pissed."
But, again, y'all are missing the punch line that obliterates this conversation: white male grievance has WON. There will never be a better time to be a white male than in this new era. It is official US policy that they are the most favored demographic, and any time any white male loses at anything it is per se evidence of racial/gender discrimination and non-merit-based hiring etc. I have little sympathy for people who have captured all the levers of power, and are actively and proudly using them to favor one small group at the expense of literally everyone else.....and then bitch about how they haven't been able to....what, eliminate all non-white male competition from earth entirely? THEY'VE FUCKING WON. TAKE THE FUCKING W AND SHUT THE FUCK UP.

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.
