Dumping Ground for Social Media Posts You Didn't Make - Avoid destroying your career and get it off your chest here

[The Ugly One]

I occasionally type up a post for LinkedIn and don't post it because I would get fired and blacklisted. It's cathartic to just type it out. But still, I want some retards to see it, so I am starting a thread for those posts on LinkedIn and Facebook you'd like to make, but never will because you'd like to continue having friends and employment.

Here's the post I didn't make just now:

In 2015, Intel cut $300m from R&D and committed that same amount to a diversity initiative. From ExtremeTech:

"Cutting R&D at all, in other words, could lead to charges that Intel has misapplied or squandered its leadership position in semiconductors. I don't personally think that's what has happened here -- while 14nm was undeniably late, Intel's 14nm technology leads on multiple technical measures compared to TSMC or Samsung, and this should continue for the next few years. Intel would have to screw up several node transitions in a row for its foundry competitors to truly catch up, and while this could certainly happen, it hasn't happened yet."

Intel proceeded to screw up several node transitions in a row. It's now fallen behind both AMD and NVIDIA in market cap and is losing market share in servers, desktops, and laptops, while being a never-was in the accelerator space.

Where's the payoff from the DEI investment? If diversity is the key to success, how is TSMC, a company whose main sites are staffed entirely by Han Chinese, with no black women or Central American migrants in sight, beating its foundry? Why are Taiwanese CEOs (cousins, even, can you get less diverse?) leading AMD and NVIDIA to success over Intel? It's not the companies with better diversity initiatives that are killing Intel.

Various stuff I typed out for KF but never had time to post:

IIRC it wasn't approved and the project has since been abandoned.

One thing I always liked about Berkshire Hathaway is how relatively open it was with what it owned.
Munger being a billionaire who wanted a super-dorm where people are crammed into what amounts to cubicles is at least refreshingly open.

There are no "mens sports", there's "sports" and "women's sports", typically because a woman joining a man's team is just going to get slaughtered. Biologically, she's not going to be as fast or as strong, and just not hold up to the requirements. Women can and DO join football teams but they typically don't last very long for those reasons, and Women's sports actually let women play sports on relaxed standards with each other (basketballs are smaller, etc.), until a tranny comes in and destroys them in that category.

Despite what they're saying, they don't want to nuke Title IX because that's what a lot of the LGBT stuff rides on.

Just look at how insane the whole Rittenhouse case was, and how TO THIS DAY people harp on about how he is a killer despite the overwhelming evidence. If there had been even a single spicy meme on his phone they would have sent that kid to the slammer for 50 years.

One of the forum posts that stuck with me was something like "If this was a movie, people would complain that it would be unrealistic because of the cartoonish evilness of the prosecutor".

Really wild how the Civil Rights Act bulldozed every part of existing law and became the new de facto Constitution.

It's even more sad that Civil Rights Act has been expanded and amended over the years, including:
- making it illegal to discriminate anyone on sexual orientation
- making it illegal to have apartments that were intended for single residents without children
- making it more expensive for colleges to operate by making them open to lawsuits (Title IX stuff)

This thread is a handy guide on how to cope with rain or inclement weather as a cyclist.

1. I am a tougher, harder-working, and more resilient Chad than you will ever be.
2. Our current infrastructure is unsafe for bicycling in inclement weather; we need covered bike lanes. Capitalism is to blame.
3. The two above statements are 100% compatible with no reason

"Don't judge me by my past - unless yours has been perfect!"

You moronic bitch, past actions are a summation of who you are in the present, and an accurate predictor of who you'll be in the future. What you really want, but are much too craven to say it - is that you don't want to be judged by your past now because you failed to do anything in your present to balance former misdeeds. If you have reformed and your past actions no longer hold sway, then you should feel no insecurity in others judging you by them as they no longer apply, and this banal aphorism finally is applicable.

It's almost always women posting this tripe, and a sizeable minority of drug addled scumbags or degenerates.
