What's worse, laughing at the schadenfraude of the Tate brothers or wishing another geek's kids get raped? -

Trump said today that he brought inflation down to zero and grocery prices back down in 4 months I think he actually believes it. He's telling people how tough he is. Saying it's Biden and Zelensky's war. Says he brought back $5.1T from the ME in 2 hours, plus an airplane.

OK, but you keep replying to a question asked of Magas, hence my confusion.

So you do call yourself a MAGA?

NPR story on DEI and how 2600 DEI workers have been fired
Ron_Artest replied to kilroy69's topic in The Geek Club
DEI is not about requiring a company to hire black people either. I would argue the Rooney rule is DEI because it's giving more opportunity to black coaches where they have historically had very little. The downside is that if a team has a coach all set to hire, they still have to hire 2 black coaches which is degrading for them. It could use some tweaking. -

In my opinion it does. I look forward to you making this a semantics argument instead of actually have a real discussion. It's what you've devolved into. -

NPR story on DEI and how 2600 DEI workers have been fired
Ron_Artest replied to kilroy69's topic in The Geek Club
exactly, and where DEI took things a step further is ensuring that equal opportunity. In the past a job opening could be posted online for everyone to see and apply to, and you could get 98 white men. Where DEI initiatives have taken it a step further is to say how can we get more diversity in our candidates. Sure it was open to everyone online but if only white men apply is it really fair? Maybe do some outreach in HBCUs or communities, maybe some networking, in order to get more minorities and women that you can evaluate. The NFL, there is no rule against having a black coach right? Any black person can apply to be a coach right? Well why didn't we have more black coaches? So the NFL put in the Rooney rule to give more black coaches opportunities. Does that mean a black coach can't get a job? Is it racist? Possibly especially when you have the same Deny Greens and Todd Bowles brought in for every opening knowing they wouldn't get jobs, but it also got Mike Tomlin his job and probably others. Guys that might have never even got an opportunity were passed by. So yeah there is value. -

Ron_Artest replied to kilroy69's topic in The Geek Club
Completely useless employment is not a good thing. We can all agree on that. What we disagree on is whether DEI work is completely useless, and the role of the government to push this opinion onto corporations who disagree. I say this my acknowledging that in most large corporations there is probably 10% of the staff across all functions that are completely useless. My employer had a DEI function created during covid that was in fact completely useless and they were ultimately eliminated as they should have been, was 3 people. We still have DEI goals and the function is housed in HR where it should be. We took it a little too far and corrected. Others have as well. But our CEO is still committed to DEI as a practice just doing it in a matter that is beneficial and not completely useless. -

Ron_Artest replied to kilroy69's topic in The Geek Club
Your own post of the story even though you didn't link it disproves that theory. There were 12k "DEI" jobs before anyone ever heard of George Floyd and the prior year gains were in the 20% range prior to Floyd, and then maxed at 25% year after. So there was a slight increase but since leveled off and now even lost jobs. After the days of free money and hiring people just to hire them, there were cuts as expected. The vast vast majority of fortune 500 companies still maintain DEI programs or goals even though they may call them something else these days as DEI has such a negative tone thanks to the maga idiots. -
As A Adult Man, Did You Ever Carry A Umbrella And Use It ?
Ron_Artest replied to BeenHereBefore's topic in The Geek Club
As A adult? Yeah I'm not some weird insecure man who think using an umbrella makes him a sissy, but I do prefer a raincoat/poncho/hat over an umbrella for most scenarios. Umbrellas are awkward if you're an a sporting event it's rude to other people by either blocking view or redirecting water onto them. Also wind makes the umbrella a PITA. Umbrella works if you're dressed up and can't avoid the rain and don't want to show up at work looking homeless.
