The flat earthers will just claim that it's distortion from the curved window installed by the sphere-cucks to make the earth look round, when it is in fact... Actually, I'm not sure what shape they think it really is, I mean is it an infinite plane or is there an edge you can fall off?
Discrimination on the grounds of gender is illegal in most places. Gender disphoria is a recognized medical condition.
Saying things like "developing the belief that she's a man" could be used as evidence of a hostile workplace. If someone said something like that, he reported it and HR didn't take action, it strengthens his case. That's why it's part of the lawsuit.
Do you have any examples of him doing this? Because what we have in the lawsuits from both Chevalier and Damore is:
In a culture where itâ(TM)s common to respond to diversity initiatives with âwe canâ(TM)t lower the barâ(TM), implying a baseline assumption that women, non-binary people, and men of color are incompetent, itâ(TM)s equally important that we donâ(TM)t do the reverse: that we donâ(TM)t insist on white male competence even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.
David, I'm transsexual. Mike Pence tried to enact legislation to force kids just like me-when-I-was-a-kid to undergo conversion therary (e.g. electroshock therapy) to make them cis. I have a uterus. Mike Pence put a woman in jail for having a miscarriage. His policies include women being forced to hold funerals for their miscarriages. I have chronic health conditions. Donald Trump wants to make it impossible for me to get health care if I start a business or become a freelancer. Don't you dare gaslight me be telling me that I'm not in a hated and despised minority the week that the voting populate of my country declared war on me.
While quite forthright he doesn't call anyone a Nazi, racist or rapist in these messages. If he did, I'm at a loss to explain why Damore didn't include such examples in his lawsuit, since they would demonstrate a hostile workplace.
For example, I have ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
ME can range from mild to severe. It can change day to day. Sometimes it is a kind of disability, in that there are things I can't do that I used to be able to, and sometimes it has little impact.
So do I tick the disabled box on the form? And if I do tick it, what happens?
I decide on an ad-hoc basis. If I'm booking a flight I probably won't tick it, there is little benefit in telling them that I have a disability and I don't really want to explain it to them. On the other hand, if I'm starting a new job and HR asks I will tell them, and they will tell my manager and help with any necessary adjustments.
Oh, and queer just means someone who doesn't conform to binary gender or binary sexuality.
Finally someone gets it. Pushing this stuff hard at work is going to get problematic no matter which side you are on, if it starts to create a hostile workplace or badly impact the operation of the company. The way you deal with things like sexist encounters is not to post some stupid memes, it's to complain to HR and let them deal with it.
The lawsuit says "vehicles designated as lemons". If that means they were returned under lemon laws and sold again without disclosing that, it's illegal under most lemon laws.
If it just means that the factory replaced the door motor three times already and the QA person thinks it's a "lemon" that's gonna come back after they deliver it... Well that's crappy but legal.
Most lemon laws require such cars to be marked as such when re-sold. Often the manufacture agrees a buy back to avoid that.
Also if the car is damaged before delivery that might have to be disclosed. Consider that if you have an accident and get the car repaired it's value is diminished compared to a similar car that hasn't been crashed. So why would it be different if the factory damaged and fixed it before delivery?
Wow, SJWs coined the term fake news? Is there anything you can't blame them for?
Of course there isn't, because the definition of SJW is "someone I disagree with", i.e. it's a tool for allocating blame to whoever the reader despises. It's brilliant because it doesn't matter who the reader is, you don't have to guess what their political leanings are.
They just assume the SJWs you were speaking of are whoever they blame for everything, and you get a knowing nod from all sides.
I view those codes as a licence to download a working copy off the Pirate Bay. I think they would have a hard time arguing any loss in court, and morally I have no issues since I already own the damn thing.
When I buy CDs I usually download a FLAC copy to actually listen to as well. Even if ripping didn't mean getting my USB optical drive out, the pirate version comes with all the tags set properly and cover artwork included. No point duplicating that work.
We have billboards by the road in the UK, lots of them.
However, a pop-up ad in the car is probably illegal. At least, the very first person with one of these cars to claim that the ad distracted them will quickly put and end to the practice.
Digital signatures won't help most people though. Telling them to apt-get install gpg, download CNN's public key and verify the stream will be less effective than a troll account claiming to have already done it and "confirmed" that it's real.
The Onion used to be reliable, you could be sure their stories were satire. In recent years reality has started mirroring The Onion's satire so closely that it's fake news isn't even fake any more.
Google stuff I generally do not trust enough and it doesn't have enough benefits over the other two options to warrant consideration.
It's interesting that Google Home Max offers you a physical microphone disable button, and a detachable power cable, a line in and a USB port. Google also differentiates users by voice, unlike Apple that allow random people to read your text messages, calendar, order stuff etc.
I'm not saying Google respects your privacy more than Apple, but they certainly offer more privacy enhancing features.
Ahem. Have you forgotten She-Ra, the classic Ms. Male Character counterpart of He-Man? I think she was his sister from another universe or something.
And to be fair He-Man was the most powerful man in the universe. Technically he exists in the DC comic universe and has been shown to be stronger than even Superman, so no one can code as hard as that guy.
Why can't I use my Apple Device to send Cash to an Android User? Why do stores need to support each device separately?
Why can't it work world-wide either? Android Pay works fine for me in some parts of Europe, but not in Japan even though there are Android Pay logos on the terminals. It doesn't even get rejected, the phone just doesn't react.
They've been caught time and again faking on location scenes, reporting entirely unfounded stories which when disproved they are slow to retract, and they bias their stories with a slant to their political ideology.
Don't fall for this. Yes, there are problems, but just because someone publishes a blog "debunking" some story and 8 minutes later it's still up on Reuters even though it's been pointed out that it's FAKE NEWS and an obvious product of Clinton's bought and paid for leftist "journalists" doesn't mean... Well, it doesn't mean shit.
There is fake news, but there is probably even more fake fake news trying to convince you that real news is fake.
I welcome news that challenges my world view, However if I cannot trust it (because other then truth they are pandering to other world views), I need to default back to my world view.
Trust isn't binary, it's a scale. I tend to trust the BBC quite a lot, for example, because although I don't always agree with their characterisation of events the factual stuff is usually right, and they post corrections.
There has been a push by those who benefit from fake news to make people think that one mistake makes a source completely untrustworthy to the point where you can safely ignore anything it says that contradicts your preferred reality. The BBC make an error once, CNN made some misleading statements, therefore they are fake news and no better than Brietbart or Infowars. And hay, at least Infowars isn't part of the dreaded MSM, at least they give you the real news that others dare not speak... And you are a smart guy, you can tell fake from true, so why not watch a bit of Fox and decide for yourself?
In reality prolonged exposure to Fox et. al causes brain damage that reduces a person's ability to smell bullshit.
who knows perhaps Fox News is actually a real source of truth
In much of the MCU the powers the heroes posses just don't lend themselves for going light on the CGI.
But compare the MCU to the DCCU and actually the MCU is pretty light on CGI. In Justice League there were whole sections that were 90% CG characters on CG sets lasting for several minutes. The actors were only needed to mocap their movements and facial expressions to use as a starting point for the CG animators. The CG is really obvious too.
While the MCU has its issues (especially colour grading), it does at least use a lot of actual humans doing actual stuff on camera, and the CG it seamless and barely noticable most of the time. That's because the movies are about the characters. Many of the best moments are Tony acting superior or Black Widow talking someone into revealing their secrets.
A movie like Guardians of the Galaxy has multiple CGI characters and sets, but the memorable moments are real.

They usually ask "do you have a disability?"
I'll try not jacking it for a month, and report back here. If I seem a bit frustrated these next few weeks you will have to forgive me.

It's academic anyway. You can't get the patch yourself, you have to wait for your motherboard manufacturer to release BIOS update.
Intel hasn't updated it's boards yet. Probably never will.

Oh, and Google Home Max has real stereo.
I wonder what prep they did to it. Maybe filled the tyres with something other than air. Presumably removed the battery pack for safety.
