How these companies don’t realize these incompetent decisions push formerly paying customers into piracy is actually beyond me.

Do every c-level employee in these companies have brain damage?

And these companies will pay a small fine and continue doing it anyway

“Generate this copyrighted character”

“Look, it showed us a copyrighted character!”

Does everyone that writes for the NYTimes have a learning disability?

Way to miss the point and prove an ample example of incompetence.

Ah, so you don’t actually care about the research, the statistics or the facts, you would prefer to try and turn this into a discussion about personal problems than facts.

I’ve no interest given you are likely not in a STEM education or profession and given your notes here, likely wouldn’t make it far even if you tried.

Objective interest and observation is vastly more important than the individual, and instead of approaching it from a statistical and facts based approach you’re attempting to twist what I’ve said into some kind of rhetorical attack on women.

I guess it would make you feel better to believe I’m a man that hates women, but, tragically for you, I have XX chromosomes so your incompetent attempt to present me as the problem in this scenario falls short, especially considering I have been in STEM for the past 20 years both as a student and now a professional academic.

Your personal problems with the materials are ultimately immaterial when compared to the concerns I laid out.

I assume next you’ll start going “the jews are keeping women down”? Or maybe “the patriarchy is the problem, lets ignore the fact women on average choose caring professions over STEM professions”.

At no point did I say the abuse and discrimination wasn’t there, I specifically noted that more research is required to figure out “why” it is there, and not pretend like it’s just “white men keeping women down”.

I understand nuance can be hard, but if you read enough books you’ll get it eventually, I promise.

Making wide claims on entire groups based on inferential data is inherently unprofessional. They didn’t stop at observing they’re making claims without evidence to back it up.

How one person feels about something does not automatically mean that someone was intentionally or even unintentionally hurting them.

That is the issue at heart here.

Did you read what I wrote or just immediately respond the second I said ‘non binary’? Also the fact you’re making this statement also indicates you didn’t read the source material at all.

I said, in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, that they classified non binary people as women.

Your clear lack of reading comprehension is absolutely not my fault.

They’re grouping non-binary people as female and pretending like this isn’t a problem for presenting a statistical analysis?

Who the fuck gave the go ahead for doing this research?

There should be separate reports on non-binary discrimination and female discrimination not combining the two and labeling them women. (in case you’re unaware, males and females can both be non-binary so grouping non binary people from either sex into “women” completely de-legitimizes the research)

Completely unprofessional.

Remember kids, if buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t theft.

The car dealers need to be abolished. Not even an ICE vs EV argument, car dealers are fucking awful, they barely know shit and borderline scam their customers trying to up the price of everything and then ‘pretend haggle’ down to a ‘reasonable price’ that’s still probably 30k over msrp
