Yeah, I boggled at identifying as disabled. But just to clarify, he's claiming mental disabilities not physical ones. PTSD and some other thing that I forget and can't be arsed re-reading the suit to find out.
I think it will, because not only were some of the exhibits in Damore/Gudeman's suit from Chevalier (e.g. page 21, then Exhibits B 16, 26, 40, 44, 46, 83 and 86) but it looks like Chevalier was sacked before the Damore/Gudeman suit was filed.
Really? The one time it's safe for you to look at the map, get an idea of the road and any turnings ahead, so that you can focus on actually driving when moving, and they obscure it with a fucking ad?
Just include the GPS track from the occasional crash.
"You're telling me the GPS shows my car and I both scattered across Talledega, yet I haven't made a claim, you think the car is still insurable and you think I'm alive to pay the premium. You clearly don't believe that GPS track yourself!"
False assumption. Could be buying food to eat at work, could be buying a drink, could be flirting with the staff, could get lost on the way to work every day and pull in for directions, could be a Russian spy attending a dead-drop to exchange messages with the FBI.
Luckily insurance companies have intelligent people working for them and wont be that bloody silly. To go with your assumption, I mean.
The ones for ladies substitute the beer holding for putting on makeup i the car....
I guess that's because of their innate advantage due to the built in beer bottle holder?
if you in the UK are so distracted by a simple ad, how in the hell do you drive while fiddling with [everything]
Driving while distracted will already get you spanked. It's reasonable to assume that something explicitly intended to distract you will not be looked on kindly by the powers that be.
Not sure which idiot modded you as 'troll' but they should probably read up on previous Mattel explorations in this space. https://techcrunch.com/2014/11... (link nicked from a page linked by another post)
Given that treatment for high functioning austism doesn't include any drugs, no zombification is likely to have happened.
Diagnosis means easier understanding of what the fuck is going on, and thus ways to mitigate or prevent negative behaviours or outcomes. E.g. sensory overload can trigger very negative behaviours so identifying and minimising the overload can keep everybody happier.
No drugs needed, just some awareness and common sense.
No. The advertising has taken its toll on me over the course of many decades.
I don't need to search out something to see an advert for it, and I don't need to be shopping for something advertised for that advert to have an impact.
if the claims in advertising are influencing your purchase decision, you're being conned. You can never trust what the seller is telling you
If only I could fight tens of millenia of evolution and the marketing industry's viciously clever exploitation of it. I try, but the odds are on their side.
If it's junk that nobody watches then it has no commercial value, resulting in Netflix having bugger all costs to provide it.
Sure, NPV on one junk movie might only be a few dollars but NPV on 50,000 junk movies adds up - and that's before you take into account the additional user base that broader catalogue will attract.
This is though why the films that retain live action continue to stand out.
Equilibrium had many flaws but its action scenes are quality.
On the flipside, Kingsman's church scene is enhanced with CGI and is still truly excellent. Although.. there was a lot of physical acting going on there too.
to the point that we ended up believing there was nothing else. And no longer really believing there could be anything else
So you're telling me that my school lied when it taught me about Sumatra? The Egyptians didn't have millenia of civilisation before Rome was even built? I shouldn't associate the word Ottoman with 'Empire'?
I mean, sure, I didn't learn about the Songhai Empire at school, but I didn't learn about the Aztecs, the Mayans or the Han Dynasty either. Turns out there was a fair bit going on closer to home through most of recorded history, took a while to cover that.
Compare Nolan's Batman to Snyder's movies. Nolan was actually very conservative with the CGI and focused on the characters instead
The CGI in Nolan's Batman was annoyingly shit. But I'm a minority, I don't like Nolan's films. Snyder's done three different films I'd rather watch than any of Nolan's.
Yeah, they're CGI heavy. That doesn't make them bad.
"What about a couple of niche films from 15 years ago" is a bit bullshit isn't it?
A film franchise that grossed half a billion dollars in cinemas alone (earning three times the budget) is niche now?
Shit, I'll settle for that sort of fucking niche.
I guess you prefer mainstream successes like Black Panther, earning a massive 15% more at the box office than its budget. Tell you what, let us all know when the fucking marketing is paid for too.
Slashdot Mirror
Erm. That's kind of normal.

Well, this guy's manager is named in the memo and accused of targeting him with a comment about spending 50% of the time writing weird memos.
So clearly there's a desire for staff to be productive, and Chevalier disagrees with his former manager regarding the appropraite work/memo balance.
Given the lawsuit itself states that Chevalier was born female, but now identifies as disabled, queer and transgender, yes, he was born with a vagina.
You have an issue with that, it's your problem, not his.

This doesn't entice me to try it out.

you must be eating breakfast while driving

Autism is defined by obsession at the expense of other things.
Is it fuck.
A symptom of autism can be obsession on a specific thing, but it's not a defining trait, let alone mandatory or the key thing.
Female autists tend to focus on what females focus on (socialization) and end up scary good at it
Strange, my reading on the subject suggests that women get diagnosed less because they're better at faking the social engagement side.
That's not 'scary good at it', that's 'hiding how fucking hard it is for them'.
males tend to focus on tech and get scary good at that
Stereotype much?
You appear to have just assumed that Barbie is for girls.
You can prove these pirates were poor Somalis?
For that comment alone you just demonstrated your lack of qualifications for this conversation.
Meaningless snark to disguise no civilized answer.
..with this one confirming it.
You fail to understand my points. I can't be arsed putting them into words of one syllable; I don't trust you to understand them even then.
You also haven't justified illegal hacking against alleged pirates, so you're a miserable failure on all fronts. oops.

Whether it's their fault or not, it cost them my subscription a few years ago and I'm seeing nothing that justifies signing back up.
I don't want 'original content', I want access to all content, at a reasonable price.
However, they are working there because the alternatives are worse.
What, them and their families getting butchered by the warlords that profit from this?
Reducing demand will reduce the exploitation, and yes, it is exploitation.

You need to watch more indie films. Especially if you're open to including foreign language films as 'indie'.
They're where the story telling takes risks, and you end up with interesting films.
Stuff like Starred Up, Nightcrawler, Tyrannosaur, let alone We Need To Talk About Kevin.
There are some excellent films out there, and some interesting but flawed ones. I really don't see the constraints you're suggesting.
Shawshank Redemption simply couldn't have been made today due to not fitting cleanly into the paradigm.
You shitting me? A film depicting the systemic oppression of the black lead character? Surprised there isn't a remake already in post.

Comics - nerdish
Computer graphics - nerdish
Film technology - nerdish
CGI - three letters that can mean different things even to the same people
MCU - three letters that can mean different things even to the same people
But hey, it's news for nerds, not arseholes. Maybe that's why this didn't appeal to you.
