No it doesn’t. There’s a giant asterisk on every award that they’re given.

If you’re ignorant enough to think that up/downvotes mean anything at all then I shouldn’t be surprised that you’re unable to comprehend the nuance of this discussion and instead choose to argue by completely and intentionally misrepresenting my statements. You can go away now.

Its not an opportunity for them to be recognized, it’s an opportunity for them to be belittled. Like “oh you’re totally the best woman actor, congratulations! Maybe one day you’ll be as good as the men!”

And again, this doesn’t solve that problem.

This doesn’t solve equal pay, it just perpetuates the misogynist notion that women aren’t good enough to compete with men.

There are no implications that you aren’t cryptically fabricating in your head.

Is there a reason you’re quoting the comments I wrote back to me?
- Comment on Bella Ramsey Says ‘It’s Important’ to Keep Gendered Awards for Best Actor and Actress: ‘Recognition for Women in the Industry’ Must Be ‘Preserved’ 1 day ago:
That’s a bad guess.

And having separate categories solves that how? You’re just perpetuating the very thing you’re declaring is a problem.

Please don’t reply to me with your misogyny.

We are not going by “number of features”, we’re “going by” one specific feature.
- Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose) 2 days ago:
You may have glossed over the part where I said this is not premium hardware. Even bargain basement Android phones come with USB3. They’ve gone out of their way to ensure their less expensive (but still very expensive) devices have bad hardware.
- Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose) 2 days ago:
Apple wasn’t ever interested in supporting that niche at budget prices because there’s little money to be made there.
Not true. Difference in cost between USB 2&3 is negligible. They’ve just done this to create artificial value for the “Pro” models. Same way they create artificial value with ram and storage.

- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 4 days ago:
That’s true, but it’s also worth noting that as the industry as a whole has grown, even physical media only costs a few bucks. And as we’ve moved away from physical media, that number is effectively zero. So there’s no increased costs as they’ve scaled, only increased profits.

- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 4 days ago:
Q-OLED and kind of fell in love. Was ready to purchase one until, I was not. I found out it’s not a good match for productivity usage due to burn-in issue
This is an old view carrying over from old monitors. It wasn’t much of an issue before and definitely isn’t now. People have been trying to intentionally burn in OLED monitors to show how difficult it is. Like, leaving it on the same bright image on full brightness 24/7 and it takes months to generate any sort of noticeable burn-in.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 4 days ago:
This is just the way it works. Things stay the way they are until someone has the balls to make a change. Once one party does, all the other parties see it as a signal that they can also raise the price.
Remember when Android phones used to be like $400-500? Apple saw the end of that, others followed their lead. To this day you can still buy very good phones for that price, but the majority of phones have moved into the $1k+ market.
Honestly I’m okay with games being priced at whatever they’re worth instead of some arbitrary fixed price based on industry norms.

That’s one of the situations that’s perfect for EVs because they have tons of torque but also can run in reverse, thus saving you brakes from overheating and wearing out, while actually recharging the battery. Was cool when I went to Colorado watching the % trickle up as I descended down a mountain.
