  • So you actually believe a military should have quotas based on arbitrary characteristics such as race or gender

    Not arbitrary at all. I think the makeup should exactly mirror the population distribution as closely as it can. We invade places, it’s hoards of guys and it’s a lot of rape and pillage and less worry about illegal orders. I think a proper distribution would help that out a lot.

    And that any disparate outcome would be evidence of racism or sexism

    Nope, don’t give a shit about that at all. I just think they should try to have our military not being 99% white men covering each others asses doing shit they shouldn’t. DEI isn’t just about combating racism/sexism, it’s making sure that the staffing matches the population. A team with 20% minorities will be less likely to be overzealous on minorities. A team of 50% women will be less likely to rape or allow the rape of women in action zones.

    Would that be your position taken to its extreme, while your actual position has the same essence but is much more sensible in degree? Or what do you think?

    Not quite sure I grasp that series of questions. I don’t think they should force minorities/women into the military, but they should try hard to be representative and mix everyone together. Nothing beats sexist/racist views in individuals like working closely with people of other races/sexes. Hell it might even drive out people that should have power over other people.

    It’s obviously not without issue. But we need more mixing of culture/race/sex on the daily basis or we’ll be in this while male superiority complex society forever.

    Nobody was going to stay on 3.11

    NT really lacked drivers and was super expensive.

    We used 95, skipped 98 until se came out. We did a fair amount of Win2k, XP was pretty rough until service pack 2. When Serviceback 3 hit, we eradicated everything else on the desktop.



  • And if that doesn’t scare them enough… Tinnitus

    You go do some loud crap, concerts and such, don’t really care. One day, you’re sitting there and notice a ringing tone. It’s not necessarily loud, but constant like someone has a high speed fan running the background. Whatever frequency level your dammage is in, your brain fills in the gaps with a constant sound. Nothing and nowhere are ever quiet again. When you’re in a noisy situation where the noise is in the range of what remaining hearing frequencies you can still work with, you can’t hear anyone over. and as things progress, you can lose more ranges and the ringing can get louder and in different frequencies.
