I agree, but at a higher level the analogy works... like a sports car vs a pickup truck vs a minivan. Very different but at the end of the day they are all vehicles and men tend to like one of those more than others, same as women (and no, I am not implying women like minivans... my wife forbade me from getting one when our kids were little and I had given up on a cool car for the convenience of one)
PS: Ok so it looks like people here are just as bad as redditors. I was answering the question in the Reddit caption of this post. Pinterest has been known to be an alternative to Reddit (as a link aggregator) which attracts women a lot more than men.
This is a KNOWN thing, check this 10 year old article from the people managing Pinterest stating as much
Of course women are welcome here, there is no question about it. Does it matter if there is an instance for women? I don't even know, I know women who love stereotypical male stuff and vice versa. I assume anyone, male, female or anything in the spectrum, can browse around and collate their favorite subs
It seems these idiots do not have the emotional intelligence we try to enforce in toddlers to recognize when a mistake was done, make apologies and rectify... instead they quadruple down and keep pushing as if their idea is now even more genius than before.
This is how we end up with Trump literally destroying the US economy while people wonder "is it outrageous stupidity or intergalactic 17 dimensional chess?"
We have never (to my knowledge) lived in a real life, non analogy, of the Emperor has no clothes
It's OK because trump's tariffs are basically going to make food so cheap it might as well be free, right?... what do you mean everything is going up in price?! WTF is going on here?!!!!
Basically, I don't call shots in my organization, I'm a worker bee (best I could call myself is a "specialist worker bee hehehe) I can only work on what is assigned to me and our people are strict on that. Sometimes I get called into meetings as a technical advisor just to let people know if what they are dreaming sounds feasible but even those, if they start to take off, my bosses intervene and demand a project is actually created and put through the paces before it can be assigned to someone.
With that in mind, if I deem a project, task, inquire BS and do not work on it but I am wrong, the interested party (usually my boss) would come back to me to get status updates, ETAs, etc. Therefore, if I deem a project BS and it is not, I would eventually get in trouble.
What usually happens is that my boss would come and instead of asking about the status on the BS project, they would tell me to hold on or provide me new specs which may not be BS or simply to tell me the project sponsors dropped it.
When a new initiative or proposal or project or just a simple inquiry comes my way, I seem to have a really good instinct as to how feasible/likely this project will come to fruition. BS projects get tossed into a corner, Non-BS projects get attention.
99.9% of the time, the BS projects are cancelled or get completely rectified into non-BS projects before I had to waste a single calorie on them
90% of the time, the non-BS projects are actually developed or, if cancelled, it's due to forces outside of our control
The consequence of this "power" is that I am rarely busy since I don't waste time on the BS and I get solid work done as I can move the time to the non-BS stuff... 23 years into my career I have never been late for a delivery or caught with no progress on a request
I believe this... however, in true Trump fashion, he is going about the stupidest possible way.
Maybe I am underestimating global greed but trump has made clear the USA is 100000% unreliable; what is the longer term outlook now for defense contractors internationally? Do they think they will continue to sell critical weapons, infrastructure, tech, pretty much anything with strategic value in the international market?
