I loved A Wrinkle In Time when I was a kid. It was one of the first books that taught me about multidimensional space. It made me interested in math. I bought the book for my daughter and tried so many times to get her interested in it, but she thought it was boring. But she was kind enough to buy me the sequel because she knew I really liked it.
Then Disney came along and turned it into a movie about magic and completely removed everything that made it such a great educational story and ruined it. And now that racist sexist bitch is talking about how it was an empowerment film for black women and men shouldn't express an opinion about it?
Fuck that bitch.
Fortunately I was able to watch Flatland with my daughter and engage in the kinds of conversations that A Wrinkle In Time should have been provoking.
Personally, I'm just turned off the entire Marvel brand. I've been a huge fan of their movies for many years, but now they just leave a rotten taste in my mouth. I don't think I'll watch their movies any more. I'm hesitant to even write this post, because I really just want to disengage from the whole thing. I feel kind of sad that something that brought a lot of joy to my life got poisoned with identity politics.
None of the people who visit this website were involved. No male Slashdot readers were consulted prior to the airing of 60 minutes. There is no conspiracy. Some woman thought she was going to be on TV but it didn't happen. If there was a male conspiracy, we would use our power to make you stop guilt tripping us when we just want to read about technology.
Actually, that is probably why women are paid more - they're scarcer and equal opportunity employers want them to meet diversity quotas. The job I'm at now has several hundred white male IT contractors (and 2 female, both India natives) so they can show their diversity in employees (which are far more balanced in gender and color ).
Yeah, but... shouldn't that money come from the advertising budget?
How many times can we redefine piracy? First it's murdering sailors and plundering ships, then it's copyright infringement, and now it's using someone else's Netflix account.
Isn't that be fraud? I thought piracy was copyright infringement now.
Show me a feminist who fought for equality in family court.
I'll wait.
Show me a feminist who opposed affirmative action hired and demanded equal opportunity for men and women, whites and blacks, yellows and reds with no favoritism for anyone.
Take as long as you need.
Show me a feminist who is just as concerned when men die as when women die and demands we do something about the crisis of male deaths that dwarf female deaths.
Show me a feminist who is outraged that millionaire Jussie Smollett attemped to inspire violence and hate against people who have never done anything to harm him.
Show me a feminist who sees Jussie as a symbol of the #MeToo movement and criticizes it.
Show me a feminist who cares about little boys doing poorly in school.
Show me a feminist who cares about fathers taking their own lives because their children were taken from them by a system that treats them as if their love of their own children was meaningless.
Fuck feminists. They are an evil hate group who should be spat on by decent men and women when they walk the streets. They should be branded with a big fat F on their forehead and denied employment and denied medicine and denied food.
I suspect that this had more to do with Mickey Mouse than anything else.
Shame how Slashdot are going along with the spin doctoring. People are going to actually believe that this was a bunch of miscreants writing fake reviews. A small percentage will understand that people were expressing that their lack of desire to see the movie for whatever reason, but most will operate on the basis of the misinformation they got from sites like Slashdot.
Women got the right to vote 99 years ago. That has nothing to do with anything any living breathing feminist has done, ever. Nothing whatsoever.
Women acting in the best interests of women simply because they are women, whites acting in the best interests of whites simply because they are white, blacks acting in the best interests of blacks simply because they are black, is bigotry, and is fundamentally wrong. It is all the same, and it is all equally wrong.
He was male. And he had a romantic interest named Ms. Marvel. Then they renamed her Captain Marvel. But it was really about keeping ownership of the name, which was passed around between DC and Marvel. You could look it up, but it's not really worth your time. All I care about is, YouTube has been shoving it down my throat and it's really making me hate the brand and the actress who plays the character, who I'd never heard of prior to this, but who appears to be a real sexist, racist, bigoted cunt. Identity politics, aka bigotry, seems to be everywhere you look these days.
I heard two women on the bus talking and one said to the other "I'm not a feminist, but I do think they've done a lot for women.", and all I heard was "I'm not a member of the KKK, but I do think they've done a lot for white people."
That pretty much encapsulates why people are so pissed off, in my opinion.
I can't remember ever finding it challenging keeping up with 50 kph traffic on flat ground on a hardtail mountain bike. I feel reasonably confident that I could chew through a hundred miles in 4 hours on a decent bike. But, hey, 60% of the north american continent are overweight or obese... feel free to be proud of yourself.
It's been a couple of years. I used to go off road on a mountain bike pretty regularly, but I got rid of the bike when I moved across the country and haven't replaced it.
I used to spend a lot of time cycling off trail on a hardtail while towing a trailer packed with 80 lbs of child and 120 lbs of camping gear pretty regularly. That'll make you puke your guts out if you're not ready for it.
'Correlation is not causation' is a two-way street. I can't even do 10 pushups, but I can ride a bike 100 miles in under 6 hours, no problem, but you're going to tell me I'm at higher risk of heart disease? Nonsense. I have low bodyfat percentage, high HDLs, low LDLs, high endurance, high leg strength, and lots of muscular endurance where I need it most (below the waist). Doing pushups is meaningless, overall health and fitness is everything.
That's actually not that impressive. A reasonably fit rider on a 10 speed bike should be able to pull off 25 mph.
Personally, I can easily crank out a set of 80 pushups. If you catch me at the right moment, I can do over 100, and I'm in my 40s. Not that anyone gives a shit, but isn't it fun to brag?
My first program was a recipe database for my mom. It stored them on cassette tapes. I wrote it on a VIC20 in 1982. Using BASIC. Which I taught myself using the book that came with the computer. I was 7 years old.
Perhaps it's because of the feminists, who do not actually code, but are simply sexist. They've turned the workspace into a battleground, and they're making everyone uncomfortable.
When are these people going to be branded as a hate group and incarcerated? It's way past time.
Well, she's dead now. She reached a point where the suffering had gone on so long that she felt putting a rope around her neck and strangling herself until her vision went black and she shit her own pants.
But hey, at least you know the shameful history of a woman you have never met on the other side of the world.

When are they going to deploy a Weight Verification Badge for the "ladies"?

Don't do both at once. Do the worst eye first. That way, at all times, you're risking the crappy one for the maximum possible reward.
That's my plan. Though, I want PRK. I like to participate in MMA, no flippy flap on my eyeball.

Then why were women overpaid at Google, and why do so many Asian people do so well in technology?

Meh. You wouldn't download a car.
I totally would.

Yep. And, the KKK did a lot for white people. They made the world a worse place overall, but they did a lot for white people.
Just like feminists.
On that note, I'm going to go watch some Gacharic Spin videos. I love strong women who love men and aren't afraid to be cute and sexy.

This was probably my favorite ride:

I find racing bikes kind of boring.

Let's not kid ourselves. I can build a campfire every night of the week that has greater rewatchability than anything Hollywood has ever made.
My first program was a recipe database for my mom. It stored them on cassette tapes. I wrote it on a VIC20 in 1982. Using BASIC. Which I taught myself using the book that came with the computer. I was 7 years old.
Your argument is invalid.
You have never been in the military. If you had, you would know that the shit you are saying is complete fiction. I know, because I've been there.
Perhaps it's because of the feminists, who do not actually code, but are simply sexist. They've turned the workspace into a battleground, and they're making everyone uncomfortable.

No, that's just you putting words in my mouth. I explicitly said the opposite earlier in this threat.
Babble on!

Priorities, right?
