SNW should have an episode where the current living members of the Beastie Boys time travel to the 23rd century and they will ask to be sent back in time to tell their younger selves to create “Intergalactic” after their time aboard the Enterprise.

Believe it or not, it can be implied with your original comment. You’re saying “of course it’s a white male cisgender CEO” - but if it were, for example, a black trans person, would you suddenly go “of course it’s a black trans CEO”? By labelling something, you’re suddenly saying that everything that you didn’t explicitly label is somehow different - somehow, a non-white, non-male, non-cis CEO is different than a white male cis CEO.
As another user said, it’s an unnecessary label for the context at hand that serves, at best, to make people go “ok, the labels are unnecessary but go for it”, and at worst it divides people because people are stupid and will get hung up on culture and identity in contexts where neither are needed.
EDIT: Should clarify, I understand you were stereotyping the old rich white man, but adding the “cisgender” bit was unnecessary for that purpose. Most people will get that regardless and it’s ultimately a semantics thing, but it can be dangerous rhetoric if you throw it around willy-nilly. Like I said - everything you didn’t explicitly label is somehow different, even if you just said “old rich white guy”.
So if he were a non-white trans CEO, does that suddenly make it ok to do stuff like this?
Being a shitty CEO - nay, a shitty human being - is not mutually exclusive to white people.
The conspiracy theorist in me says Unity planned this whole thing out to get less resistance on this thing they actually wanted to roll out; announce a super shit change that will intentionally outrage everybody, then say “ok, we won’t do it if you agree to use this other shitty model instead”.
Anyways, big shoutout to Godot for existing as an open-source alternative.
jfc is this what it feels like to do the mental gymnastics of those kind of people??? I felt like an idiot reading that one over and over lol
Alpha Memory got nothing on Wookiepedia’s page on Water in Star Wars.
They even have entries for both canon and non-canon instances of water.
Lightning is more or less the progenitor to USB-C, so the benefits are the same since you can plug in USB-C either way.
This also means you can charge your iPad with the same connector as these phones if you have of the models that came with a USB-C charger.
I agree with this to a certain extent.
I do think it’s easier to be creative and brainstorming with other people when I am in the same room as them, but ultimately it should be a mix of both for that kind of stuff to accommodate for everybody - that way, people can start their to-dos in peace either at the office or at home, wherever they’re already at.
Ah yes, blaming the other party instead of looking at how it could have been prevented in the first place and trying to help implement those changes - that always helps.
Maybe if they decided to, oh I don’t know, help improve the infrastructure for our state somehow with federal funding so shit like this doesn’t happen, that would be a great start considering the majority of the islands outside of Oahu are basically rural neighborhoods.
