u/DisastrousChapter841

Before commenting I gave it a read despite thinking this. It was... not good.

She seems to lack self awareness and the courage to actually speak to women's issues in a real way. She has a history of speaking to "women's issues" but only when it's in self defense, that is instead of responding as an "I" when she read an article criticizing her, she'll say that it's about gender.

But then she admits that she doesn't think gender inequality is tech isn't a big deal.

"To me, gender fades into the background. I talk about passion as a gender neutralizing force."

She repeats a variation of the "gender is a thing but not important" line a couple times, at one point saying gender equality will "come in time," immediately following that with "I'm an optimist" as explanation. .... ugh

There were some interesting observations that I'm glad the author added such as the office looking like a kid's room and you wouldn't necessarily know it wasn't save for some bs ai quotation sign, and that she must be dealing with cognitive dissonance.

Ah, so clearly the chosen Woman to represent us all...

(/s obviously)

And the fact the headline was essentially a repeat of all the other ones asking if one single woman-- who one could have expected to be out of touch when it came to the experiences of normal women--can fix the experiences of all the other women.

The fact that someone wrote that headline should have embarrassed them. Unless it was a sardonic sort of thing--doubtful--but wtf were they even thinking. ( then again, I know headlines are supposed to draw people in but still.)

Tell that to the girls who weren't allowed back at my house after I played this for them at my first birthday (6th grade) party + sleepover after moving to a new state lol.

It came out on video right before moving and I had watched it with my sisters and cousins and we loved it, so I thought I'd share it with my new friends/classmates.

Looking back, i know my mom rented this movie having to know that some of these girls would never sleep again, and that watching stuff like this probably wasn't normal for them.

I would have lost it lol. But I'm a millennial, and facts are facts, and that was hilarious

I love that your first thought was superhero. Maybe it's time; all hail Catman

Lol I saw that

Yeah this image seems to be a younger millennial thing. I am not one of those. Also, I don't see the horse from Neverending story here

I still sing it. Worked an event two nights ago for ..ambient lighting (?) vendors and they had an afterparty and they played this song after some choice Celine Dion dance mixes. It was fascinating

Or the blonde top right

All hail pedro

Of course they did. Fuck these fucking fucks

Sociopaths

I use uber eats to network all the time. Every time they drop food off, I chase them down the street pleading with them to accept my request on LinkedIn, and ask them for quotations for an inspirational post

I think about the music from cruisin USA a lot... the "ooh... ah" female vocals

I haven't played this game in decades and I could hear all these images

JINJO!

So, obviously there is a bigger topic of more concern here, but is the plural of Bigfoot Bigfeet?

Ooooh-- that'd be awesome -- like stationary or the flailing kind (wacky waving inflatable tube men)?

So when I saw the cat eyes, I immediately thought of the Dante's Inferno Room thing from Beetlejuice lol

I'm thinking of getting into making more of my own cat furniture. I've just done some wall steps and shelves, but with 4, it's something I think about a lot.

I was thinking of starting with construction forms (tubes), anyone do this?

My first thought was Beetlejuice but then I looked harder. Maybe that could he your theme lol

I hate this. I did some web scraping pocs for a major mapping company 13 years ago and had to be very, very, very careful.

Interestingly they don't want anyone scraping their scraped data... I say we do it anyway

(g) “crawls, ” “scrapes, ” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of or relating to the Site or Content (through use of manual or automated means); copies or stores any significant portion of the Content; or decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Site.

And still, we're diagnosed "ww": whiny women.

Way too many of us have experienced this... it's infuriating. I hate that in my 40s I feel like I need to ask one of my sisters to go with me to the doctor so they'll behave better...

They act like we're there for fun, like we want to be there, spending money, sitting around waiting forever getting talked over just because we want to complain and despite some of us bringing notes, we don't know our own bodies. Ugh. Drives me crazy

I see what you're getting at, but this isn't the goal, necessarily. Ceo pay that's 430 times the average worker salary is indicative of a culture that doesn't value employees (obviously), and this high of a difference is a good indicator of a ceo who will and has done everything to boost short-term shareholder profit including paying below garbage wages and doing other things like promoting union busting, keeping people below a certain number of hours per week, etc...

We need to bring back much higher income taxes for people making millions a year just to start

I'm jealous. The truth is that public figures here do and say a lot of stupid things and then, well, nothing happens. I mean... have you seen our president?
