Its a matter of priority. People read horoscopes all the time, very common thing. Most people won’t put that “advice” in their top 10 reasons to do anything. Religion is bad when its priority #1, whether thats for a person or a whole country. Myths and folklore are the more appropriate versions of religion.

Luckily some games are still made for fun. And some gambling games were fun before they were monetized, and still are in spite of it.

Is it a shocker most people in tech are selfish, short sighted, and self-aggrandizing?

Surely you can have your cake and eat it too, right?

And the parents surely won’t blame themselves.

Contacts are overrated.

I think people have to come to the conclusion that noone fits a single label at all times. I often hear takes like in the OP from young teenagers who are just starting to grasp a concept.

Even introverts can learn how to relax in social situations, but the additional stimulus can be overwhelming for sure.

Its available for some phones with extra work.

The arbitrary numbers are that NASA should have “more minorities than 10 years ago”. Why 10 years ago? Why more then they had then? Isn’t NASA famous for working on DEI for more than 50 years, before it was even called DEI?

If they had or have unfair hiring practices, show me an example. Surely theres someone who was the most qualified but passed over for being a minority.

I’m not against DEI, just not every company is the same. Also I dont see much DEI for jobs where white people are the minority. I got fired from a job in my teens because the supervisor thought I was a lazy white person who " couldn’t even do the jobs our women do", and 90% of the workers were from Mexico. Wheres my DEI initiative?

Maybe I love hard labour and it sucks I can’t get a job in it because everyone thinks I’ll be lazy and demand extra benefits.

Here’s an example of NASA discriminating, and the legal process to rectify it. Thats appropriate. Showing some arbitrary numbers and saying they aren’t high enough is nonsense.

A company that doesnt discriminate might need to hire people it doesnt want to just to fill a quota. Thats wasteful, and disrespectful to the people hired.

I’m saying those statistics do not say that NASA discriminates against non-whites. They could, but theres no proof of it. Applying a blanket rule to all business whether they are discriminating or not is over-reaching.

Sounds like they were already only hiring qualified people.

Forcing DEI where there was no problem causes a problem.

Cool study. What evidence is there that NASA has an unfair hiring practice they need to adjust for?

Yeah but then ifixit gets the money instead, and amazon gets nothing. I want to pay ifixit for their stuff, not amazon. Amazon didnt do anything to deserve money from that purchase.

There are a lot of vendors who only sell through amazon though. That seems more like they are explicitly saying they prefer the amazon shop but I could be interpreting that wrong.

Its just not a business I would recommend giving your money too, but its your choice.

Oh that makes sense, fair enough. I didnt know amazon did this but I stopped using them a while ago so haven’t kept up.

I think its becoming more and more common knowledge that amazon isn’t cheap anymore.

Why would you order from amazon instead of directly from ifixit?

Thank you for the examples, thats a concise way to explain it.

Some call it a what-aboutism, although theres debate on whether its usually fallacious or not. There have been cases illustrated where using what-aboutisms is a proper logical counter, but most the time people just like to shout fallacy at each other so they dont have to think about the point they are making.
