I think the author sums up conspiracy theories like this accurately: "Women just don’t care that much about you. You obsess over our movements, our strategies for keeping you down, when really, we can’t be bothered. Women won’t debate you because your ideas have been held below the threshold of reasonable for so long that the bubbles have stopped. We’re not here so we can make sure someone with a Y chromosome can’t be. Women in automotive don’t get together and talk about ways to make sure we keep boys out of what is, statistically speaking, still their club. We’re here to work hard and talk about cars."

Surely it's as simple as "not worth reading" in other news, just saw Dulcich has acquired a Sunbeam Alpine that he plans to put (most of) the drivetrain from Freiburgers RX-7 into on a later (when!!) episode of Hotrod Garage. That sounds like a fun build!

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Save us from giving them a click and give us a summary? It's in the title: "Tech Fuckboy Has Bad Opinion About Women In Autos". Basically, angry white men in tech and auto industries opining that there is a conspiracy to infiltrate women into their ranks, and clearly, there's no way that women could possibly be qualified for technical jobs. Nothing new, just more visible, lately.

Isn't that the goal of most STEM programs, to increase diversity in technological fields? Can you call it a conspiracy when it's out in the open? And yes, it's shameful that apparently way too many white males are afraid that they don't have enough to offer aside from whiteness and a Y chromosome. If you're actually worth a poo poo at what you do, why be afraid of the existence of a larger pool of skilled candidates?

Floored at how insecure a lot of dudes I personally know are, like on a vast scale that always surprises me when it hits me. I watched a guy pick up a pink stuffed animal for his daughter but held it between his thumb and forefinger like it was covered in piss and give it to her. Because it was too girly and the dude himself isn't some macho hunk dude either, and also drives a new Wrangler with the stick-on catalog bits and cruises around midwest Suburbia because of course. Getting older it is like I am discovering that most people are not at all comfortable in their own skin and it bums me out, I can't imagine carrying around baggage like that day to day regardless if it's learned behavior or not.

I let my nieces paint my fingers and toes sparkly pink years ago because, well - kids man. If they're happy and smiling, the rest of the world can gargle a football stadiums worth of donkey balls for all I care. I hate how people are so skewed in their world viewpoints by baseless sexist constructs.

I let a girlfriend paint my toenails bright red during college once, because she wanted to and who's gonna see it? It was winter, I wear shoes, etc. Then I signed up for a stage movement class where street shoes weren't allowed and socks were too slick on the hardwood studio floor... I even forgot they were red during the first class when suddenly I started getting strange looks and chuckles. Of course, theater people being the relatively open minded bunch they are, all I had to say was "my girlfriend did it" and everyone let it go.

I'm rockin' my GTX 660 and Prey looks really weird because objects just... appear, which is kinda funny considering objects turning into aliens is kind of one of the things that happens in the game  I need an upgrade but I just looked at my student loans the expected payoff date is a month before my 41st birthday (I'm 32) and got really sad so back to the Rollins Coping Strategy (cheap booze).

Even on a 960 and ssd prey objects just pop in. It's all good. I just recently got bitten by the Overwatch bug, that's the main reason for my upgrade. Well, that and my mobo doesn't shut down cleanly, ever since new. It spins down the HDDs, powers down everything, but doesn't click the PSU off. Any shutdown or restart I have to click the PSU switch.

"It's not for me!" He loudly said, snapping me out of my half awake daze in the checkout line. "What?" I said groggily in reply. "That eyeliner," he said. I had no loving clue what he meant. It took me a minute to spot it next to his 12 pack of beer. "Oh, that," I said, "I dont think it's a good color for you, anyway." "HA HA MAN naw I ain't like that!" He said, boisterously. I shrugged, paid, and left while he was trying to assure people around him that it wasn't his.

If there was a discussion about elocution, then it's fine. Otherwise, I am confused why you would utter such a phrase. You do have one chance at covering yourself: spend the rest of the week including rhymes in every conversation with every worker and try to play it off as a conversational quirk.

So glad that Audi didn't go the way Volvo did with headlight adjustment. My S60R dynamic lights were controlled by rear suspension ride-height (to the point I had to make custom bellcranks for the sensors when I lowered it), luckily the S4 has good old fashioned plastic hex screw adjusters on the dynamic lights.

Anywho... gently caress Comcast. I had internet installed exactly a week ago this morning and it hasn't worked yet except for like 10 minutes immediately after the guy installed it and left. I've had someone out to my house 3 times now and a fourth appointment where nobody showed. What in the actual gently caress are they doing? How do you have 3 techs give me 3 different answers and leave without any sort of resolution or even give me a loving follow up. I've had to call customer service every goddamned day and start all over.

Holy poo poo, I've literally been on hold with my insurance company waiting for someone to pick up the phone for over 100 minutes now. I checked their twitter and they are getting crucified by people and awful wait times since the summer. I would like to hang up, but I've got the sunk cost fallacy with time as the currency pretty drat heavy right now
