You're right. People been stabbing people in the uk forever. If guns were as abundant there as they are in America, it'd be a gun problem.

But if you're gonna make a show specifically to bring attention to the recent uprise in violent crime to women in the UK, make it accurate. Otherwise what are you bringing attention to?

This isn't Disney acquiesing to China by refusing to mention Tibet and turning a Buddhist monk character into a white woman. Or the makers of Hamilton trying to be cute and turning the America's founding fathers into "bipoc".

You wanna bring attention to a very serious problem, well you should be serious about it, and accurate. But it opens up a bunch of political cans of worms about the direction that country is heading in. God forbid if they did that.

There’s multiple issues, you don’t have to mention every single related issue when bringing up one of them. Problems are best solved one at a time and another related problem existing doesn’t mean another doesn’t deserve attention. It is derailing though to respond to any issue with “what about this related issue?” They have entirely different origins and can’t be solved at the same time and we weren’t talking about that issue anyways.

To suggest that the recent rise in violent crime to women in that area is a result of Andrew tate telling young men to lift weights and be confident and that women aren't infallible as feminism would lead the world to believe is disingenuous.

But frankly I skipped a bunch of pages and went straight to the most recent. And if I'm misunderstanding what you and @Iron_Yuppie were talking about, well my bad.

Ok... but everyone* who is a DEI hire is worse at their job than the merit based hires. So you can look at the lot of bad employees at work, eliminate the white males, and there's your group of potential DEI hires.

*I'm sure there are less than a handful of situations where a company is in a situation where they must hire someone of a specific race to reach the DEI quota, and in comes such a potential hire who is also absolutely outstanding. So now when they fall under the DEI employees "category," it is only nominal, because the company has to present them that way, despite actually hiring them on a merit. Outside of this rare circumstance, the DEI hires are going to be unqualified. (Other merit based hires whom a company identifies as "DEI" hires also don't count as true DEI hires. The company wanted to hire them, which flies in the face of the need for DEI).

Chris Christie, of all people, did an interview somewhat recently where he spoke about his experience in NJ. He said increasing DEI actually helped them hire employees more skilled than they were getting from their usual talent pools.

Of course since he's republican, and DEI is the outrage topic of the month for them, he had to say that in a very roundabout way because most politicians are cowards when it comes to uncomfortable truths.

BTW, quota systems are stupid IMO...and probably not legal per the Civil Rights act.

I mean you said it yourself. I could care less what Chris Christie said. He was also the governor of NJ. I think the implications of him being the R governor of a deep blue state are obvious.

How the hell does hiring someone based off their skin color lead to better workers? I'm not saying it's impossible, but if you ended up with better workers, it'd be entirely luck, not because of prejudice hiring practices.

Ah, shit. I have like 10 years worth of testosterone but all the other stuff....

Where do we go now? Are the other chinese vendors also closed?

I recently saw a thesis on the topic of declining birthrates globally. There are plenty of known causes. Among them are urbanization, women are more well-educated and more frequently focused on careers, rising costs of having children and so on, but those reasons don’t explain it all. The thesis suggested that one common reason is the increasingly political polarization between women and men. Didn’t attempt to verify, but it was good for thought.

As for DEI there’s nothing wrong with it in principle. There’s plenty of conscious and subconscious bias that exists that precludes various businesses from considering certain candidates. As practiced however, it has always been performative in my experience.

As such, I have my own approach when making hires. I’ll simply devote extra attention to candidates that might be precluded because of bias. Unfortunately there’s some common trait differentiation that leads to certain genders preferring certain fields over another. Nurses, for example are disproportionately women. In my field, engineers as disproportionately men.

The social justice warriors writing and administering the DEI policies would have me believe that half the qualified candidates I see are talented women excluded because I must be a mouth breathing goon, when often I have 1 woman to every 100 men.

There are other biases that exist as well, in terms of personality and so on. Outspoken, overconfident bullshit artists tend to be over represented. My last hire was an introverted and shy Asian woman that was interviewed by several other engineers before her resume landed on my desk. Given my “extra attention” policy I mentioned I went through the interviewing notes carefully. The interviewers, including one that was same gender and ethnicity all basically put her on the spot and told her to dance, ie whiteboard code challenges. One interviewer even wrote, “she solved the problem correctly but when I interrogated her about her solution she failed to explain it satisfactorily”.

Anyway, she’s my most productive engineer at the moment.

I’ve never found white boarding to be an effective interview technique. It introduces a weird gamification to interviews that doesn’t really sus out quality engineers. I think the last time I got a white board problem during interview was in 2013 lol

yes.

well, except for the other 12 Chinese vendors that you can find in the Underground if you take a moment to look.

 

[PermaBlastingTren]

I bought one too. Not for my head. Just body. Works well for touchups.

scissors and a lighter for me

Bro, I just found out that QSC closed down. I'm so sad.

That's a perfect example of what happens when one or 2 Indians are promoted to management positions. Say goodbye to your DEI. Give it a few years and you won't have any more white people working at that business. Walmart, Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza, name the franchise and if there are 3 indians working there it's already over for that place in terms of diversity. Don't expect to see any articles written in the cbc about that discriminatory horseshit. That would be racist, insensitive, and problematic.

In the situation I mentioned earlier they weren't hiring the new workers based on the color of their skin, they started hiring from a much larger talent pool, and because of that had access to more top talent than before.
