- Comment on How can A person find out if they were hired as a DEI or fired because of it? 5 days ago:
DEI does not influence hiring or firing. The right intentionally conflates DEI, which is creating an inclusive work environment, with affirmative action. The latter was a set of policies that required special consideration for marginalized groups when hiring, and was repealed by SCOTUS in 2023.
As a former corporate manager, I can say first hand that DEI has been a focus in respectable institutions for much longer than the term has existed. The best way to stagnate your business is to hire a bunch of like-minded people and make them all think and act alike.

It shouldn’t. The DRM is on the Amazon book file format. The books I get from my library are usually epub format.

That’s one way into a man. He could also be saying bottoms can’t be defiled. Either way, it sounds like approval to me.

Check if it’s available on your library website first, for the sake of the author.

Many people believe that Jesus never said anything about homosexuality, but I disagree.
And He said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?”
Mark 7:18–23
- Comment on Trump policies make US ‘scary place to invest’ and risk stagflation, says Stiglitz 1 week ago:
Oh I’m not referring to money-making opportunities so much as market stability. Investors flock to gold in times of instability.

So it’s not a good sign when the Dow and NASDAQ stagnate while gold climbs? Ya don’t say?

Green side up. All Brazilian meats are welcome on my plate. Just need to leave room for the grilled pineapple desert.
- Comment on Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East. 2 weeks ago:
The desire to control people who follow compassionate teachings is what turned sound advice into the dogma we see today. It’s an unfortunate history, not unique to Christianity.

I’m no fan of FPTP, but that point doesn’t apply here. Democrats have consistently supported Net Neutrality.
Net Neutrality was legislated by the Democratic majority in the FCC in 2015. It was then repealed by the Republicans in the FCC (championed by Pai and Carr) in 2018. It was then reinstated when the Democrats regained majority in 2024.

Odd. I think that’s the label I remember on the cartridge too, but I just never noticed the pistol. I played 4 the most because I loved the weapons the most.

Ugh. When did that happen? I played through all the NES Mega Man games many times. His blaster arm was way cooler than any pistol.

I haven’t replaced a head unit in years, but I’m not surprised the proprietary systems require custom components for replacement. I can’t count the amount of head units I’ve replaced with my own ‘custom’ wire harness to save the $15 it cost for the Metra adapter. Lol

Not a chance. The new “infotainment” clusters integrate necessary features like climate control to prevent aftermarket replacements in most vehicles. I honestly don’t know if any manufacturers even use the single and double DIN standards anymore.
