efa··on Why I Work on Ads
>>Who gives 50% earned to charity?

Perhaps some. But I'm sure they don't brag to the world about it.

efa··on Facebook's Trump ban upheld by Oversight Board, for now
Ah, the old "don't undermine democracy" rule!
efa··on Ed Balls Day
Schweddy Balls
efa··on India’s second wave
Yeah, the traffic is starting to suck again!
efa··on India’s second wave
Agree. White collar workers are mostly working from home. But everyone is out and about (mostly wearing masks). Most fast food restaurants have their dining rooms closed, but plenty of sit down places.

Then you tag certain works as "essential" and then eventually everyone argues that they are essential.
efa··on GitHub, fuck your name change
Purposely being obtuse?

Not sure why you are being downvoted. It is disgusting. It does nothing to help with any of the real issues. It just creates this sad gestapo culture where there is a rush to jump all over someone over something trivial and meaningless. The infringer of the rule is punished, the punisher feels superior, and nothing really improves. The enemy of progress is silencing discussion and stupid "bans" on everyday words just makes people hesitant to speak less they violate the latest woke rules. (Like every word that has "man" in it instead of "person/woman/whatever".)
efa··on Google Has 'Shattered' Its Pipeline to Black Talent
"...and a limit on what they can say." This doesn't seem to be an issue limited to people of color.
efa··on Looking Back on the Spanish War (1942)
Yeah, I'm not sure how science is ascribed to either end of the spectrum. Nazi Germany also had some damn good scientist who they looked to to give them dominance on the world stage. I'm guessing he's trying to stamp Trump as an authoritarian given his supposed anti-science views.
efa··on Twitter still hasn't unlocked the New York Post's account
Yes. And yet ever five seconds I'm bombarded by someone telling me to vote. I guess they don't care if people without critical thinking skills vote.

He said he didn't do it? Case closed!

Or wait a couple days. People who can't wait to vote will head out on day one of early voting.
efa··on The wildest insurance fraud scheme in Texas
Sounds like a good candidate for an American Greed episode.
efa··on Germany plans to dim lights at night to save insects
Yes, last week. Driving from Texas to Wyoming and back. Tons of splattered insects.

efa··on Is It Time to Kill the Penny?
I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying getting rid of the penny would hurt poor people?
efa··on Blog Anonymously
Yes, but you have to admit all the vast majority of firings lately are for people not having the proper left wing viewpoint.

Well, first of all I disagree that her defense of trans women is disingenuous. Her points are well thought out. She points to specific situations where trans women are vulnerable. Just because she has another concern doesn't invalidate her concern for trans women being vulnerable.

So her heinous viewpoint is she has concern for girls in restrooms and locker rooms? Why is she not allowed to have this concern? The rest of the country/world is not San Francisco. Where I live I've never seen anything other than Men and Women restrooms. Sure adding a gender neutral bathroom could help with the issue but they don't exist in the vast majority of locations in the US. I have two high school daughters - one with autism. I'm sorry if its a dangerous trope from half a century ago - but my wife and I would be concerned with a trans woman sharing the locker room with them. Certainly my non-autistic daughter would feel uncomfortable. My daughter with autism wouldn't care because she has trouble with boundaries and being appropriate which makes it more concerning.

So now you'll say I don't care about the fate of trans people. Nope. It's possible to have concern for them and concern for non-trans people.

Threatening violence, yes that will get you in trouble (hopefully). A little different than just minding your business wearing a MAGA hat.

The definition of vile is getting ridiculous. Today its seems anyone is a "violent racist" if they don't agree 100% with BLM's mission statement. I'm sorry, you have to live in a world where there are people who have different opinions.

At the moment I can't see any of it's features when someone like David Shor is fired for publishing facts of a study looking at types of protest. https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1271166899666079744?lang=e...

Yes, but has an open Antifa supporter ever been denied college entrance or attending a conference because of that support? Or lost their job?
efa··on Blog Anonymously
Yeah, it's getting hard to tell what are real accounts. So many pose as a left/right wing person and spout a little too ridiculously.

Wow! 20 years doing web development and I never knew about this.
efa··on Bye, Amazon
I'm not sure why he includes: "I’m sure it’s a coincidence that every one of them is a person of color, a woman, or both. Right?"

Is race as issue here? I thought they were fired for whistle blowing? Is he saying a white whistle blower wouldn't have been fired?
