Did they exploded yet?

I see. What's the correct modern science word for "adult male (XY)", if not "man"?

I'm not trying to be obtuse, but isn't that essentially what being transgender means?

That's quite a gun fantasy you have.

This is a nice and brief video that I've found persuasive. https://youtu.be/eELfSwqJNKU

I think you've mischaracterized the arguments of the "no free will" camp, or at least omitted a major argument. You may find this interesting https://youtu.be/eELfSwqJNKU

Indeed, that's often true too.

I don't know what to say to that. I didn't say it matters, and I was trying to participate in the discussion thread.

My opinion is that the spirit of DEI is good, but sometimes I have personally witnessed first hand a decline in performance standards. I've worked for years with/near the federal government and I've seen what appears to be a particularly blatant DEI push at the cost of performance.

And an Asian colleague recounted to me that a school he was trying to send his child to had recently come under pressure to "loosen" their admittance test requirements because white and Asian folks were overrepresented. I'm sure you're aware of the similar controversies at universities over the last decades.

When it comes to DEI, I'm not against any people or class of people, but it'd be intellectually dishonest to not recognize the inherent conflict here when you start considering people's race as an admittance factor. Maybe the intention is to only give the minority an edge when performance with a white peer is exactly the same, but that's not precisely what happens every time. It's not something that makes me angry, and it may even be the right thing to do, at least in some cases. I only recognize it.

Cheers.

Yeah, sad times.

Very far from a Trump voter and I'm disappointed to see presumptive and confrontational behavior from you. You're normally levelheaded.

That's certainly one possibility. I think it's the other possibilities that folks have strong feelings about.

How do you think DEI hiring works? Not a rhetorical question, I'm interested in your thoughts.
