  Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace.

  So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I’ve heard it before, but as “Black Boys * * *”).

    It’s actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasn’t “boys”. I’m Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please don’t lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.

      GenX here, my father was a racist and ran with a similar racist crowd, and i was disgusted pretty soon after i started to comprehend the shit they spew.

      That crap they said sometimes still comes into my mind when seeing non-whites (i heard that stuff a lot, as my father descended into his alcoholism over 2 decades), and then i firmly disagree with those thoughts and feel icky. Racism (and i believe it’s the same for sexism) is an active choice, even when growing up in a racist environment.

  Black, brown, then the fucking colors of the rainbow in order, gray, white.

  If you need a mnemonic to memorize that, you’re gonna have some trouble actually building out your lookup table in your head of immediately knowing that red=2, yellow=4, etc.

    I’ve never clocked on that the colors are in the order of the rainbow. Mind blown that it’s taken your comment to highlight this for me.

    I also like that the colors surrounding are shades of lightness… cough cough let’s ignore the brown.

      It’s for those of us that prefer our circuit components to be LGBTQ+ friendly. Fuck those SMD resistors.

  For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there’s a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.

    The racist term I was taught when I was a young person

    (Color of darkness) (fatherless children) (coerced non-consensual reproduction activities) our (new people to the world) (XX people) but (pure people) go without.

    I hate reading resistor color codes because which is the correct orientation for the resistor. Band gaps and positions on real world resistors don’t stand out as much as what the theoretical charts show - so I always meter them anyway.

      You can say black bastards rape our young girls but virgins go without on here. We’re not reddit.

  To add to this, my dad told me that “Get Some Now” was sometimes tacked on to indicate tolerance levels. Gold (5%), Silver (10%), Nothing (0%).
