I noticed all my female colleagues got promoted if they basically just showed up on time. As a guy you had to show up on time and...come out as gay. I guess now you'd have to go tranny.

The current rules are: 1. 50% of managerial positions must be filled by women or brown people. We're specifically setting this goal so that we can promote the best and most qualified which, apparently, we wouldn't otherwise. 2. Barely good enough is the quality standard to which we strive. 3. Decisions shall be made without considering, or even understanding, their impact and... if they're bad... it's a CIS, white man's fault - even if no CIS, white men are involved in the project. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised ANYTHING works any more. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at October 04, 2023 02:44 PM (z99Zw) 79

[Riley Gaines:] This date, 10/10, is symbolized by the Roman numerals “XX” – signifying what it means to be a woman, something innate in our very DNA: the science that defines a real woman.
Please help the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute recognize this day to honor the achievements of real women and recognize the intrinsic value that only they can provide to families as mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters. You’ll honor women with your signature today. Their privacy is being eroded. Women and girls’ most vulnerable spaces – shelters, locker rooms, and restrooms – are no longer safe. Women’s hard-earned achievements are being stolen by men. Their very identity is under attack. Real Women’s Day should be recognized, not only to celebrate womanhood, but to serve as a crucial reminder to keep women’s spaces available only to real women. Real Women’s Day celebrates the unique and special role that women play in society. By signing this petition, you’ll stand bravely with Riley Gaines in recognizing October 10th as Real Women’s Day. rileygainescenter.org Posted by: ShainS -- Deplorable AND Listless Vessel AND Overimaginative Scamp at October 04, 2023 02:47 PM (LMBfl) 101

From Wikipedia:
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. It's a fairly offensive name, actually. Grace Hopper was not some affirmative action hire. Grace Hopper was a real person, and an important one. She tried out for the Navy and failed (too skinny), but entered the WAVES during the War and became an eminent computer scientist working on the Mark I computer project at Harvard as a Lieutenant. She went on to work on UNIVAC, conceptualized modern programming languages, added to the lexicon - "computer bug" - did tremendous theoretical work on compilers, helped developed COBOL and retired from the Navy in the 60s before moving fully to private industry. She was also reputed to be an engaging and accessible speaker on the subject of computers and software. And she did it when it really was a boy's club more or less by default.

Frankly, I'm a bit surprised ANYTHING works any more. - I don't remember who, but someone posted this the other day: (NewsNation) — Major companies added more than 320,000 jobs to their U.S. workforces in 2021, and 94% of those went to people of color, according to Bloomberg. That finding comes from a new analysis of 88 workforce demographic reports submitted to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by S&P 100 companies like Apple, Walmart and Amazon. White workers accounted for just 6% of the headcount increase or about 20,500 jobs. https://tinyurl.com/yl6v5c5b Posted by: The recovered remains of Hitler's cocaine filled flying submarine at October 04, 2023 02:48 PM (rPwrh) Posted by: Blanco Basura - Z28.310 at October 04, 2023 02:49 PM (Bd6X8) 120

You know, in the long march of "civil rights" movements, we have always only ever seen things go in one direction: The supposedly oppressed group has been afforded more and more "rights," codified into law, and at this point well past the point where the law is creating "equal rights," but is instead giving special privileges to some, and not to others.
What I would like to see, and maybe it will be seen, is the trans movement will FINALLY be the one supposedly oppressed group that will be universally singled out for not deserving any privileges, and almost a rolling back to the point where the law may not require it, but society may very well enforce that they just shut the F up.

Whites--white males, especially-- need to embrace the practice of forcing Clown World to live by its own rules.
Turn their bureaucracy and laws against them at every opportunity. Nothing says you can't claim to be a woman, or "non-binary," or "trans," or "multi-racial." Anything the voices in your head say is apparently valid--that's the new rule--so who are they to say you're not? Document everything they say. Make formal complaints to HR when they subject you to anti-white propaganda and discrimination. Accuse them of racial bias and creating a hostile work environment. Say you feel threatened and unsafe under their racial attacks, bucause if you feel it, it must be valid. Make EEOC charges and claim retaliation if they do anything to you afterward. "Oh, but if we use the system agaist them, then we're as bad as they are!" sayd the useless CoNsErVaTiVe retard. These people are playing for keeps. They're not acting in good faith. They want to destroy you. Their motto is "by any means necessary," so fuck them. They deserve to be fucked over by their own evil system every chance we get.

US will transfer weapons seized from Iran to Ukraine US Central Command has already transferred over one million rounds of seized Iranian ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces, it announced on Wednesday. The transfer was conducted on Monday, CENTCOM said in a press release.
“The government obtained ownership of these munitions on July 20, 2023, through the Department of Justice’s civil forfeiture claims against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),” the statement says..."The munitions were being transferred from the IRGC to the Houthis in Yemen in violation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2216,” the statement says. The Biden administration has for months been weighing how to legally send the seized weapons, which are stored in CENTCOM facilities across the Middle East, to Ukraine. great news! especially considering that Iran has been providing weapons and ammo to help Russia murder civilians in Ukraine for a long time now! great idea. that's one way to help while congress is stuck on authorizing further aid to Ukraine. Kinda helps to have people in charge who know what they're doing. Posted by: Intercepted DU Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at October 04, 2023 03:11 PM (JCZqz) 267

Marshall singled out Rolling Stone’s write-up of Anthony, who has since said he doesn’t identify with either side of the political aisle and has won plaudits as untarnished by partisan politics.
“You’re certainly seeing a massive gap between the media and the people,” Marshall said. “And I wrote about this, particularly the response by Rolling Stone Magazine, if you could see that they attempted a takedown of Oliver Anthony… they’re the magazine that used to be the voice of counterculture. Now they don’t know counterculture when it slaps them in the face.” Posted by: SMOD at October 04, 2023 03:27 PM (RHGPo) Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Now With Pumpkin Spice! at October 04, 2023 03:27 PM (FVME7) 352

But (USO) in 2013, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that the ban on women in combat would be lifted entirely, and that female service members would be allowed to serve in direct ground combat roles. In 2015, this was put into action. CNN 2/23 (New policy is that) US military grants service members up to 3 weeks leave for abortion related travel.

US citizens or immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register. Individuals who are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register (for Selective Service).
I don't see how that could pass a legal challenge. Posted by: rickb223 at October 04, 2023 03:39 PM (aqRb8) 406
MAYBE it really was just about winning races. Posted by: BruceWayne at October 04, 2023 03:30 PM (CIS44) I guess that could be true but I thought the 'Everyone gets a trophy' generation didn't need to win to fel good about themselves. Hmm Thats the problem charting courses into unfamiliar territory the unexpected happens sometimes. I prefer the old standard two genders with maybe fringe mystery types hiding in the shadows. Yeah good times.. Posted by: I'm Gumby Damn It! at October 04, 2023 03:39 PM (2IVNY) 407

He probably has a legit tort against them - but it would be difficult. More likely we will be seeing him back in the league soon, probably in a redder locale where they need pitching help. Posted by: Black JEM at October 04, 2023 03:32 PM (GZYu7) Apparently the league was well aware the claims were baseless, and he was "eligible" to be reinstated for the '23 season, but no teams would take a chance on him. So he played in Japan. I don't know how hard it would be for him to be picked up by a team now, or how hard it would be for him to sue the league. I just know if you are a team, like say, the St. Louis Cardinals, and your pitching staff stunk it up about as bad as is possible, you'd be better off putting Bauer on the mound than trying to keep 42 year olds on the roster, and sending them out there every fifth day.

Eventually corporations will hire consultants and contractors to straighten out the mess DEI has created. And it will work, until somebody notices they are mostly white and asian males. Then DEI will be applied and put an end to that solution.
Posted by: Ripley at October 04, 2023 03:13 PM (JojsZ) == There will be no rebound back. Within about 18 months Justices Alito and Thomas will drive a huge truck right through Affirmative Action in general, stating quite plainly that these programs violate CR of 64 (which they do). And all those grifters will try to work on green energy credit programs. Posted by: Black JEM at October 04, 2023 03:39 PM (GZYu7) 409
I worked for a company through went through that in 90's ti be able to keep selling in Europe. I have never seen so much blatant fraud and waste of time presented as quality improvement. But the system was approved by inspectors who went out and got drunk at the local strip clubs with our sales/tech reps so it all worked out.
Posted by: Ripley at October 04, 2023 03:30 PM (JojsZ) I realized ISO was a scam when they told me that the procedures written in the book neither had to be what we actually did or anything that might actually work. It just had to be in the book. Posted by: Oldcat at October 04, 2023 03:40 PM (eoQWY) 410

Posted by: BruceWayne at October 04, 2023 03:30 PM (CIS44) The fact that they insist on sharing the locker rooms with the girls says to me that it is about degrading women. and the fact that hardly any women even feels able to get mad about it says volumes about modern women.

Posted by: Halfhand at October 04, 2023 03:41 PM (z+QkH) That was how it was done at the 'old system' maintenance division I was in earlier - you had to fit bits of code and data in memory and you showed details. in the NEW replacement system they used advanced techniques that were years behind schedule and they were hiring consultants at double price to 'catch up'. I think that place went under soon afterwards Posted by: Oldcat at October 04, 2023 03:45 PM (eoQWY) 418
#392--Diogenes, don't know what part of T-town you were in (Parkland? LakeHood??) but it's NOWHERE near that bad. Now Olympia, on the other hand, has homeless encampments right off of I-5.
I'm not saying that Tacoma is a jewel (the graffiti is bad, and both property and violent crimes are up) but it's not bad compared to the real sh**holes north and south of it. Having Joint Base Lewis-McCord helps somewhat with the riff raff. And I wonder if you were smelling the famous "Aroma of Tacoma" from the local pulp mill.

Huh. I just got an unexpected package delivery. It's a T-shirt from my company, with some new slogan and design.

"the Grace Hopper Affirmative Action Unqualified Hire Organization"
Besides all of the other inanities mentioned here, could someone please explain what "Unqualified Hire" means? Is that another way of saying "no experience needed"? or is that some other mental illness from this crew? Posted by: Rick Happ at October 04, 2023 04:31 PM (LRkXx) 423
