I can determine your eye color from a DNA sample too. Does that mean people with certain eye colors are predisposed to certain jobs?

I made bad life choices. They're mine and I'm owning the consequences of them 100%.

Yet when I would say this about gender preferences in occupation people would flip the fuck out.

Yes, but you can only create clones that way. You could easily create artificial sperm from eggs and have otherwise normal sexual reproduction with only females using current technology.

I do not accept the proposition that certain 'races' are genetically predisposed to certain forms of labor and so this line of reasoning is not even worth exploring. Unlike gender, there is no biological basis for the concept of race. I actually threw a huge bone to make this discussion even...

Which is why I'm not talking about the elimination of any gender. I'm talking about tweaking the ratio to suit the demand for certain types of work.

This is an overstatement of my case and a strawman. I'm saying that, for instance, if you could raise the population's overall happiness and satisfaction in life, by temporarily shifting the gender ratio to suit the available demand for that needs doing, would it be an ethical thing to do?

I knew the eventual direction of the thread would end up here anyway. The ultimate question is which would be the happier society, a world of men without women or a world of women without men? I mean, I once thought I knew the answer to this, but considering the amount of women who's sole...

Really bad understanding of genetics here. You can make artificial sperm from eggs with current technology. Making artificial eggs from sperm would be quite a bit harder and probably produce a heck of a lot of derps.

This was not one of the propositions. This was solely about life satisfaction from application of productive labor.

You didn't actually read the first bullet point. In this hypothetical scenario there is more low/medium labor that needs to be done that women find satisfaction in than there is low/medium skilled labor that men find satisfaction in. For instance, in this hypothetical world we've automated all...

This is something that these autists never get. Even if you were to accept that a statistical majority number of women prefer a certain domestic lifestyle, there would still be large numbers of individual women who do not. Feminism: The Radical Notion That Women Actually Get to Choose What...

None of those societies had the level of labor automation inherent to this thought experiment and therefore the historical examples really don't apply.

The Social Engineering Thread

Let's say I concede your point that there are distinct, statistically significant innate preferences for certain types of work based on gender, along with assuming all sorts of positive and negative stereotypes about men and women and their relationship to work, satisfaction and happiness. Now...

I'm working double shifts all week because the two most productive people on first shift unexpectedly quit. Because I am working back-to-back-to-back double shifts, I'm working from home. Or in other words:

Do you render games on the second monitor? If not, it doesn't matter. And yes, you could run video from your onboard GPU to your secondary inputs to not interfere with rendering on the main display. I've used this trick before to eliminate screen tearing in videos playing on the secondary...

I almost forgot: If you want your computer to run hotter than a dumpster fire and have shitty FPS you should buy an RX580.

Easy to explain: If you play at 1080p/60fps all you need is a 1060 and you'll basically never need anything better. If you have a 1080p/120+ or 1440p/60 fps monitor, you want to find a 1070 on sale. If you have a 1440p/120+ fps monitor, you should try finding a 1080 on sale. If you have a...

I assume 5 scenes for some kind of 'Avengers Assemble' montage or to show the current whereabouts of whatever 5 Infinity Stones aren't the one this movie is based around. Or. 5 different dick jokes.

Looks like the 7700k dropped 20 dollars today. Begun the price wars have.

I think people are overthinking this. At the start of the movie, Luke says he's in hiding because he's failed as a teacher, lost faith in the light, and believes he should die as the last Jedi. But then 'something bad' happens and Rey uses the magical power of mary sue to convince him that the...

How does this compare to Duelyst?

Is this whole forum converting to Ubiquiti Masterrace now?

Someone invited me last night.

Can someone invite me to the guild, current character is Iji_Riley.

I've been playing this. I'm level 89 now and getting kinda stuck.

They haven't repaired the roof at work despite the fact that they've known there's a problem for 4 years. The snow/rain combo ruined our lab, destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stuff in the warehouse, and ruined dozens of desks and offices throughout the building.

This game is pretty dope so far. Found this at level 60 from a prophecy... apparently it's pretty good!

An ugly 12 year old but 12 anyway.

It's okay, I look like I'm 12. Twice I've had people do actual spit takes when I tell them how old I am. One of them told me my resume was fake because the years didn't make any sense, and I explained that I got my first IT job when I was 15 and I'm 35 now and he almost choked on his coffee.

A lot of people work at my company specifically because they don't drug test, which makes me think I could just really easy go get a better job at some place that does.

I'm 35 and I haven't gotten to play any magic since like, before last summer.

Yeah but it's 84k a year with OT!

Well, basically I got a second job already. It pays 30 dollars an hour and is exactly the same bullshit as the one that pays 20 dollars an hour!

Working 70 hours a week to try to cover for the 6 people that quit? I dunno. I could start wearing diapers and pooping at my desk.

You missed the point of that post. We're supposed to be an ITIL shop with standardized SLAs and standardized priorities for tickets. Yet because there is no accountability for sales, they can sell any contract with any custom SLA they want even for some tiny, irrelevant customer. So some...
