The greatest trait of life is the ability to adapt and survive. What would be the point of procreating in a passive Edenian world?

What is your company policy on racial and ethnic diversity? Would you balance caucasian and non-caucasian banks?

On the flipside, this serves as a demonstration for what is good teaching practice. The classes that suspiciously see no change go to show you can't scribble on a whiteboard and call it a day.

Yeah. Tax dollars at work.

Shows how little experience you have with asking people why they disagree with these changes, if you shrug off rationalism as racism.

I can also make analogies. It's like asking a baker for carrot cake every day and when he finally makes one, you explain you were merely thinking of other people. Nobody else has asked for carrot cake but it made you feel special for a moment even though you know it wasn't interest in people's eyes.

Oh so ending racism and homophobia in the real world takes too much effort so let's make other people CTRL+H some files instead? That's pitiful and an insult to people who try.

I explained my entire point of view. As an ESL I can't do better. Thank you.

I mean it as a movement that is meant to louden people's voices but ends up perpetuating stereotypes and slipping homosexuals who don't stand out and aren't flamboyant into such a profile.

What lucrative alternatives? Is there another Linux kernel I'm not aware of? Another Google?

If you can't sit down and do a good job instead of having inequality living rent-free in your head [1], who would prefer you over someone who can? Remember, there's a reason these people are a minority. Companies turn down applicants all the time so this special case isn't that influential.

[1] The girl who started the cancel movement of Dr. Stallman was admittedly too frustrated to do her job.

That's just an assumption on your end. I'm not the one going against social norms and making people pay special attention to me or else I cancel them. If anything, these codes of conduct are to LGBT what gay parades are to homosexuals like Alan Turing.

How many people feel uncomfortable with this terminology and who are they? What about the people who feel uncomfortable with the new terminology instead (the majority)?

How is that slippery slope? Are you saying only some people have the right to express hurt?

If people get swayed away from an entire profession because of a few words, how can they have the mental capacity for constructive criticism? For being told directly that their work is sub-par and they need to improve? And how do they have the capacity to do their job if they are constantly annoyed by a few words?

We go extra lengths and try to formalise subjectivism but gain nothing. It's always anecdotal evidence or sensationalism that provokes such changes to be made.

In fact, why don't people for these populist changes express some arguments that aren't based on using "misrepresented" people as shields and scapegoats? In fact, using minorities to perpetuate your personal cause is misrepresenting them as weak and powerless.

All this talk about just accepting it is defeatism. You're promoting defeatism. Are you so scared to bounce back that you wish to ostrich your way out of any pressure?

Why, yes, it is too hard and unnecessary to write main instead of master, or any of the hundreds of completely arbitrary changes made with, I repeat, zero net measurable gain.

Professionals call it 'negative PR', 'slander', 'sabotage', and other such words. Why can't we have 'disagreement culture' or 'better-alternatives suggestionism' instead?

But we're seeing the opposite. Speaking against counter-culture and being cancelled.

That wasn't to make you memorise a GUI but to make you understand the connections between visual indication and concealed action.

Without "fad chasing" (which is a sunk cost, a week every few years of pro graphics design), without even copying microsoft office's layout, you are losing out on new users. Why would anyone use libre office because it's open source rather than being a better functioning product that is more pleasurable to use (and look at)?

Tor with obfs4 gets around this.

That's just an opinion piece. The author assumes statues promote racism and racial supremacy without actually posting evidence of it. Have any KKK or black panther meetings been held at those statues?

Quite the contrary, some have been taken down since inanimate objects can't fight back. It's an insult to all black people who do follow the law, who do follow custom, and are integrated in society. These works of art remind us what times were and what times are now - how far we've gone together. Daesh also took down monuments to raise controversy.

Also this news is off-topic.
