@evankinney but anyways, my main point is is i don’t want you to carry this with you. i wouldn’t want it to impact how you feel about your work, your competence. it happened to you but it wasn’t caused by you.

@evankinney it’s probably not much comfort, but layoffs are not reflective of your performance a ~week ago a post made the rounds in which someone at Atlassian was laid off in the window between their promotion and the congratulatory Slack messages about said promotion…

@Urban__Duke That's the bit that puts me off ngl, being on camera. I very much try and remain in the shadows bc that enables me to work most effectively.

@Alph4betSoup this is also why your security team should have a mix of sexual orientations on it, so that for any given attacker, you have someone who is immune

It’s not misogynistic to study bias. It is misogynistic to frame it as a hypothesis on “attractive female students get better grades,” which reduces women to appearance and reinforces the stereotype instead of interrogating the bias behind it. You wouldn't commission a study on how hot male students are.

Never ceases to amaze me what misogynistic men choose to waste time and money 'studying'

Interesting findings from this study. 🤔😄 Attractive female students no longer earned higher grades when classes moved online during COVID-19. "When education is in-person, attractive students receive higher grades in non-quantitative subjects, in which teachers tend to interact more with students compared to quantitative courses. This finding holds both for males and females." A Swedish university study found that attractive female students got higher grades in subjective, non-quantitative courses during in-person teaching, but that edge vanished when classes moved online, while the male beauty premium stayed. 307 students across 5 cohorts were rated for attractiveness by 74 independent judges, and the pandemic created a natural split where the same kinds of courses were taught first face-to-face and then remotely. That matters because quantitative courses are graded mostly by exams, while non-quantitative courses leave more room for teacher judgment, so when female students lost the premium only after visibility dropped, the most likely explanation was not skill but the halo effect, where appearance quietly gets mistaken for ability. i.e. when evaluation becomes more anonymous and less face-driven, grades look more like performance and less like perception. My read is that this is less a story about beauty than about how fragile “objective” grading becomes once human impression enters the room. --- techfixated .com/attractive-female-students-got-better-grades-until-classes-went-online/

Bring back the expectation that both people in a relationship level up together and help each other, rather than compete.

@HarrisonGarlic1 Boys who are posting this meme CONGRATULATIONS YOU JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT CONSENT. 🥳🎉 Would YOU approach a woman you weren’t interested in? Heck no. A woman doesn’t have to say “yes” to you just because you approach her…Get over yourself. 🎊

Here are the rules: Church isn’t for dating until it is. Guy you’re not interested in asks you out = inappropriate place and time Guy you’re interested in asks you out = God’s providence Those are the rules I’ve observed.
Mack@kenzietuff

Man posts in local Facebook group, moving to area. Asks which Catholic parishes have thriving community, would be best for single man to attend- “is successful + seeking wife soon” + same faith is priority. Entire comment section berating him. “Church isn’t for dating!”

People don’t hate OnlyFans because it exists… they hate it because women are profiting from it. No one’s screaming to shut down Pornhub, are they?

@Alphawolf420696 @itsalexiagrace teenage boys don’t generally have their own credit cards to pay for it? so that doesn’t make sense. but they can access pornhub for free, so…

@sergeantsup not exactly… i just get this sort of “oh wow” feeling? having trouble naming it. it becomes hard to look away feeling horny comes from our interactions, if they give off a sort of prey vibe this is why i never understood Playboy, and why strip clubs lost their appeal over time

what's your gender? | when you briefly meet a hot person*, but you don't know anything about them, do you experience any desire to have sex with them? * imagine a man if you're a straight woman, a woman if you're a straight man, etc

@Vicky then you’d have to find your partner off of Twitter 😄 the discourse here is skewed af towards zero sum thinking (not just the dating discourse, but tech discourse, politics discourse, all of them)

@DietCoke_Esq You didn’t specify which airport you’re going to. That seems to make a HUGE difference right now: SFO seems to be chugging along as normal with a 5-10min line, and JFK has been pretty decent ime, while ATL has a security line so long that it’s wrapping around baggage claim…

I have a serious question for once so please be serious. My flight is at 2:30 PM EST tomorrow. What time should I get to the airport? Given the whole TSA shenanigan, I’m assuming I need to get there before 2:00 PM EST, but when??
