    You've clearly never met any Bay Aryans. They act just like everyone, but think they are 'the chosen'.

    In Texas or S Carolina they have lawns bigger than the sheds to store the mower, hence it isn't completely insane.

    We should use UN best practices.

    Clear ballot boxes.
    Paper ballots.
    Indelible ink thumb marking.
    Voter registration.
    Immediate public counting.

    But the Ds say that would be racist.

    No. You spend $10K+ on a zero turn with a blown V8, for a 200 square foot bay area 'lawn'.

    To impress the neighbors.

    4. If someone makes you be an asshole, or they won't do their jobs, they are an asshole. It is not an asshole move to remove their access.

    5. Net negative workers are assholes, no matter how 'nicely' they fuck things up. Hence, anybody who proposes any formal CoC is an asshole.

    The SJWs just want the money. As long as the sweet sweet money flows to them, they'll be fine if someone forks the kernel and does all the 'dirty man work' for them.

    'They' (both of them) have always run to the extreems for primary season, than to the center for general elections.

    This is just the longest primary ever, that and the commies are really butt hurt. They thought they had the supreme court locked.

    There is always another generation of kids with simplistic world views, that think they discovered 'X' and are going to fix things 'right now'.

    Most people do realize that social media explosions are fucking stupid, but have jobs to do.

    You can ask for reality based education, except there are large number of idiots in higher ed that actually believe 'everything is socially constructed'. They just need to go.

    Both parties have large groups of 'dumb as rocks' partisans.

    They can and are 'weaponized' by the other side. The left is just mid tantrum.

    At the top, they know the 'other side' has them by the short and curlies. But they also know the 'other side' is a show and is in fact them.

    I still have hope the 'moron chanters' will trigger 'the big dump', if not, there is always the 'moron thumpers'.

  15. Sales does not run those companies. Until their product becomes functionally identical to the competition's.

    At public companies, the CEO's job is to sell the stock, sometimes he sells it by shipping better products, sometimes he sells it with a reality distortion field.

  16. Maybe you work in a field that doesn't pay well enough to get any smart, driven people?

    If it's smart or driven, sure, but why not both?

    Drive has positive, built in feedback. Stupid people get little positive feedback from their drive, as they often work really stupid and fail, despite hard work. I'd bet that measures of 'conscientiousness' (the big 5 trait) are positively correlated to IQ, more so as the person gets older. Only partly because the people are figuring out the right answers to the personality assessment (not everyone is a cynic, some are dumb).

    They banned us.

    I was required to take a focus liberal arts area, so I found the one with the best ratio (psychology, had yet to lean to not stick my dick into crazy).

    Turns out, every engineering student had done the same thing. We were required to take a liberal arts focus area _other_than_psych_, as we were blowing the curves while treating the classes as a dating pool.

  18. Takes GPs words with a grain of sale. RN is a four year program, unless someone is already a lower level nurse.

  19. Not remotely true for anything like a commodity product.

    The IT people at an insurance company are building NOTHING important. Janitors. Avoid.

  20. Do you realize how many blowjobs a marketing type has to give to 'win' a government contract?

    Government contracting is broken. Perverse economic incentives everywhere you look.

  21. Better they waste their lives chasing money than waste their lives playing party politics.

  22. Sales runs all businesses that sell commodity products...like CPUs.

    Don't work for those businesses, unless you like being 'overhead'.

    Stay awake, all products become commodity eventually. Don't be surprised when the new CEO is a sales weasel.

  23. Nope.

    The stats disagree with you. Girls are good at math until middle school.

    Think about how middle school girls and boys behave. The boys are full time taking things apart/building. The girls are full time Machiavellian middle school power players.

  24. So you boldly assert without evidence.

    Ignoring your own assumption that every group is identical. To make that assumption you throw away all data and go with your beliefs.
