Cruel

My personal feelings do not inform this argument. What I say is wrong or it isn't, regardless of my feelings about people or topics. I routinely argue against pro-choice arguments, for example, not because I'm pro-life, but because so many pro-choice arguments are bad. I actually support unfettered abortion and even limited legalized infanticide similar to Peter Singer, but that's quite irrelevant to arguments I make about abortion.

Me liking women and non-white people isn't even relevant. If you don't want to discuss the issues, then don't.

If DEI is explicitly taking measures to not consider race/gender in hiring practices, then conservatives would largely support it.

So they're not racist for opposing DEI, they just don't understand what it really is, right?

This is the problem in politics when everyone is using the same terms with different meanings. Political discourse devolves into people speaking past each other with absolutely no point.

Rittenhouse defended himself against criminals trying to kill him, shooting one of them in the arm just as he was lowering a pistol to point it at him.

Nobody would be "celebrating" him if people didn't try to vilify him and lock him in prison for the rest of his life.

you’re open to public executions in general.

You act like you're not, in a thread of people celebrating a public killing. 🤔

I would actually be against public executions for political assassins like Vance Boelter, Tyler Robinson, and Luigi Mangione. It would radicalize more people, potentially making them more of a martyr for a cause.

That suit was moved to private arbitration proceeding and settled out of court.

And I joked about hiring women to pay them more in my other comment. It's a joke because that implies that tech companies, publicly disclosing their desperation to hire women, are actually losing hundreds of millions (collectively billions), just to avoid hiring women. I've never met anyone working on tech that hates women that much. It's one of the most liberal fields out there. They bend over backwards to be diverse. It's a struggle because asians are overwhelmingly dominating in terms of qualification.

Yeah, I wonder why that is. Could it be that getting hired and promoted is much harder so a lot of women don’t bother? I wonder how you could fix that…

Around 58% of college students are women. Of black grad students, the vast majority of degrees go to women, 71.5% of masters and 65.9% of doctoral/medical. Tech companies are starved for female representation. And you think it's somehow harder for women to make it?

I'm curious why you think men are under represented in college then. I'm sure it's conveniently not because they think they'll have a hard time succeeding and "don't bother."

I’m supposed to think they won’t be underqualified?

You’re clearly a heavily biased individual, so who knows what you’re going to believe.

In what way am I biased? Use statistical probability and logic to answer the question, that's all I'm doing. If I narrow my pool to a smaller subset, then are my chances of getting the most qualified people diminishes. Right?

Yes, good thing they’re IBM and can can pick the highly qualified women from that smaller pool.

You certainly see the problem with this. They're not the only ones doing it, and even if they were, they're still passing up more qualified people, assuming parity in the rates of qualified people in the 20/80% distribution.

Let’s be real, when you’re looking for an attorney, the most important thing for you is how much they charge.

Wrong. Out of the three I've gotten, I look for their specialization to the task I want first. Notice how you completely evaded the question?

Justice Thomas proves that merely sharing someone’s race does not represent that constituents of that race.

If you want to talk about someone who is incredibly unqualified, he’s your guy.

Oh really, care to provide any evidence of that? I assume you’re an extremely qualified lawyer? Maybe a professor of law? (see how dumb these questions are?)

Only anecdotal.

So no.

Personal testimony is admissible evidence in court, so it's not nothing. Just not useful evidence for this discussion.

Ah yes, the lawsuit. What happened in that lawsuit?

The lawsuit was stayed pending binding arbitration proceedings, meaning they settled privately out of court. I think the employment contract he had forced him into private arbitration.
