Google Firing Engineer: Thoughts?

Really?

I vaguely know Tom, we have met a few times: Glastonbury,two years ago, most recently.

He would be flattered .Assuming I could arrange this (highly unlikely) he comes to the bar where you are drinking with your friends to serenade you. What song do you want him to sing?

Holy shit, random flashbacks to being a kid sitting on the living room couch watching Cagney & Lacey and getting a tad confused and uncomfortable whenever Sharon Gless was on the screen. Random kid crushes! :slight_smile:

That’s awesome! Thank you :smiley: However, I’m in Toronto so I’m guessing it’s super incredibly unlikely. My favorite though is Delilah which is funny when you consider what it’s about and what this thread is. I’ll just state now that I’m certainly not advocating that! It’s an amazing drunken karaoke/sing (well, warble off key in my case) along song though! :slight_smile:

LOL

Sorry… Can’t.Help.Myself.

Uh dude, you get that it’s not simply ā€œa sideā€ for me, right? Even though, I can put myself in another’s shoes and see some of their points…well kinda. I’m speaking in the broader scope of the core issue here; Like the whole ā€œpussy pass/women workers are nothing more than window dressingā€ thing, that’s not going to work out for me even if I were ever to try. Also for a whole lot of other women and, when you really think about it, the women who practice that are being sexist themselves. Yeah, I said it (so whoever wants to can pile on for ā€œslut shamingā€, ā€œjust being jellyā€ or whatever), but fuck the world, I’m not a ā€œnice girlā€ nor a ā€œmean girlā€ and I have a right to exist even so. That’s what it comes down to, eh? My very right to exist as I am unfettered.

It’d be nice if ā€œsome womenā€ didn’t mean ā€œall womenā€ in some peoples minds. I think that comes from people circle jerking only one perspective. Seriously though, I swear to gawd I don’t share a hive mind with radoms ex-girlfriend, the mean girl bully at work, etc. etc. I think a lot of people get caught up in Us v. them (and the ā€œthemā€ all being a biased perception of ā€œthemā€) thinking like that. There’s no doubt nothing is going to change unless the problem is first acknowledged and then addressed as best as possible. So while it’s usually not pleasant, if you want to get rid of a hornets nest and all you have is a stick…you gotta do some poking. Thanks and thanks to everyone, especially the mods, for poking :slight_smile:

Oh, totally - I was making a general point. I think you have proven on here that you like to explore different sides of an issue. :slight_smile:

And if maybe if there were a procedure to put in belly windows. :smile:
