Good for them


Through and endless barrage of “diversity and inclusion” marketing over the past 10 years corporations have convinced people they care about marginalized people, underrepresented minorities, and every social cause in the world.

In reality they’ve turned human beings into quota. Some of these companies actually put their “diversity stats” in annual reports and on their websites, essentially showing off how many minorities they can collect.

Unfortunately minorities have become a tool woke corporations can parade around to make themselves “look good.”

It doesn’t make them look good. It’s dehumanizing. And it’s surprising how many people still support this charade.


Anyone who has watched this trial in its entirety knows that this is a person who has fabricated most, if not all of her claims.

Some parts of her testimony were so meticulously debunked it was hard to watch.

It’s remarkable that JD didn’t commit suicide as a result of what happened to him.


Then since that is the case, it's quite clear how this is court case is going to end and for that someone, it will end in tears.

That someone is going to end up crying very badly and a bunch of their fans supporting them will scream in outrage whilst another person walks out the door free.

We'll see what happens next.


I believe the case is about defamation and there is a counter suit. It is not at all clear how the defamation verdict will go even if everyone believes everything plaintiff said. Believing Depp to be a victim of spousal abuse is much easier than thinking defamation (in the legal liability sense) occurred.


Why does being rich automatically make them sociopaths? I know poor sociopaths too. I know nice rich people.

I do not know Marc but judging a person’s character and mental state based on their social class seems low.


Rich people have this sort of "everybody who is not me is either evil or a slacker" mentality.

It's true for both sides, matter of fact it's true for every side and everywhere.

But the petulancy of rich Californians is unrivaled, they don't even pretend to put together a coherent argument to express why people should put them in charge of organizations. "Current thing" what the hell does it even mean?

At least John Kerry and Larry Fink, the Davos crowd and all the proponents of ESG go through the effort of producing some 1500 pages documents with figures and numbers as opposed to blurting into the ether stuff like: "The current thing is truth"


I disagree about the petulance of rich Californians. Their petulance -- along with the persecution complex many rich Californians exhibit -- is generally exceeded by working-class white conservative Christians, incels, and Reddit users who have just gotten downvoted.

Not to mention Madison Cawthorn (R-Narnia). His petulance in the wake of his primary defeat and being dragged out of the closet threatens to eclipse that of his entire constituency.


I would be interested in learning why we don’t have Armed guards at schools, the way we do in stadiums, airports, and other large gatherings.


These kids will grow up remembering that a very specific group of people of a certain ideology kept them out of school, masked, and plugged into a zoom monitor for as long as possible.


Because then you would have shows made for fans, and not shows made for woke HR departments.


Squid games is for work HR departments? I must have missed some subtext.


No, it’s a Korean show with great characters and great writers focused on telling a story.

Not focused on scoring points by using ethnicities as a prop.


> great characters

Squid Game had some of the worst characters going. Very one dimensional and in some cases were just awful stereotypes.


You mad bro?


Why is anyone surprised? This is the logical outcome of tying executive compensation to diversity initiatives.

These initiatives turn human beings into quota.

Minorities have become a tool woke corporations can parade around to make themselves “look good.”

It doesn’t look good. It’s dehumanizing.


Another garbage tier NYT hit piece. Every stock is plunging and Tesla isn’t unique in that. You could reframe this article about almost anyone.


It's funny how all the hit pieces appeared almost immediately after Elon displayed his politics.


Most of Musk's politics posting started after Business Insider contacted him about the $250K hush payment to the flight attendant he had harassed. He was setting the scene to portray the coming reputational firestorm as political ax grinding.


Direct from the article:

> But Tesla’s shares have declined more than 40 percent since April 4 — a much steeper fall than the broad market, vaporizing more than $400 billion in stock market value.


I think this is one of the most original films ever made and it deserves a watch every few years.
