Don't know what the other comment was, but everyone has experienced sexism. It's inevitable that inaccurate gender stereotypes will be applied to you at some time. For men it's just the "stop emoting you fucking pussy" or "you suck at nurturing so don't even try."

The patriarchy fucks us all.

Exactly. DEI as a term is just a lightning rod for idiots at the moment so maybe you just publicly stop calling it that and keep everything else the same.

I dunno how to interpret this honestly. On its face this reflects poorly on Paramount, but we live in an oligarchy and I don't really blame them for trying to avoid pissing off the volatile baby that runs this country when DEI can still be achieved without using that terminology directly.

Is there evidence that this division of their corporation was actually doing anything different than before the term DEI even existed? Or that Paramount has current issues with diversity?

Yeah, at least they don't violate conservation of matter like the Dooplers appear to.

Ugh, I feel you. One is too many, 12 isn't enough.

I never really thought about it, but you're right, the Dooplers are too over the top and only make sense in a cartoon context.

The Pandronians from TAS and LD (the species that effectively have three independent parts) also make no sense outside of a cartoon.

Been listening to the 5-4 podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks and it's been partisan bullshit forever, but yeah Citizens United will probably be considered the death of American Democracy (even though it was terminally ill beforehand).

The Court will literally just make up rules out of thin air to justify whatever the fuck they want.

What are you going to criticize Republicans for? Sure, they're morally bankrupt and destroying the country, but they're doing exactly what their dipshit voters asked for and succeeding beyond their wildest dreams.

Democrats are the ones who are being laughably inept at what they claim to want.

Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so the shock rifle does hold a special place in my heart.

Certain ones, like music trackers, can still be interviewed into. Once you get into an initial tracker and establish yourself, it becomes easier to find / get into new ones via forum invites. It's a long road but barring a time machine it's the easiest way.

I dunno, maybe I just had crappy indexers but usenet was always more miss than hit for me. Maybe it's superior to public torrents but private trackers are the gold standard.

The way the first paragraph is written made me think this is a garbage AI article, but I guess it was a joke. I hate this future.
