Do they say that to the board of directors?
Employees, in a great many cases, don’t identify themselves with “the company.” If you go off on a rant about a specific race, or a specific gender, you’re damn right someone of that race or gender is going to be put off by it and interpret it as at least a bit about them.
Just flip the scenario to one where the man is complaining that “women suck” or that a white person is complaining that “black people suck” to their black date. And they can’t even - from the sounds of things - cough up a “present company excepted” - which you might well see doesn’t actually make it OK.

She described her symptoms as anxiety.
- Comment on That's some anxiety 16 hours ago:
The doctor believed the woman’s description of her symptoms as “anxiety”. Can you try to at least read the article before letting your confirmation bias fit it into a narrative?

Without reading the article I assume they’re kicking in the door and shooting the patient…
- Comment on Working on my politics-free lemmy experience, what words should I add next? 1 day ago:
Politics affects more or less everything, but that doesn’t mean it is those things. If you’re not able to examine the list OP posted and see what proper subset of “everything” they’re trying to filter out, you need to think harder.

- Comment on UK played hidden intelligence role in Iran war— Ministry of Defence satellite data indicates Britain had a more active role in Iran war than ministers admit 2 days ago:
What the data really show is that the satellite has increasingly been able to image Iran. “Hidden intelligence role” is really scraping the barrel. I’ve not read anything from Declassified UK before but:
The MoD denies altering the movements of Tyche at any point since it was launched, even though the Royal Air Force (RAF) explicitly stated last year that the satellite had “demonstrate[d]” its “ability to capture imagery from anywhere on earth when Defence needs it”.
presents two consistent statements as contradictory. It does not seem worth using to me.
- Comment on Met police arrest pensioner for ‘jury crime’ already ruled not a crime 2 weeks ago:
Nothing I’ve said implies I don’t think it’s real, so I don’t think we have anything else to talk about.
- Comment on Met police arrest pensioner for ‘jury crime’ already ruled not a crime 2 weeks ago:
It’s not about complaining about how they vote. The jury doesn’t have complete freedom because that’s the aim; they have complete freedom because there’s no other way to do it and still have a the concept of a jury. They are supposed to follow the directions of the judge in terms of how to apply the law. Telling them, “no actually you don’t have to do that” is definitely dodgy, no matter the technicalities of how they de facto can choose what to do.
- Comment on Met police arrest pensioner for ‘jury crime’ already ruled not a crime 2 weeks ago:
Thanks.
- Comment on Met police arrest pensioner for ‘jury crime’ already ruled not a crime 2 weeks ago:
Novara media can’t cover this case properly, but it does seem stupid/malicious to arrest her for what she has already done before. Though because it’s Novara media I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some new fact they haven’t mentioned.
But the original case was on a boundary: clearly she and similar protestors wrote their placards with the intention that it would influence jurors to pursue a particular and unlawful course of action. The court found that it did not amount to contempt of court, but it’s hardly obvious. I think if those on Warner’s side here thought about a hypothetical case where Tommy Robinson (found in contempt before) held up a similar side to encourage jurors to acquit those involved in far-right violent protest, or to convict minorities charged of crimes with weak evidence, you might at least think this kind of activity is dodgy if not illegal.

Maybe you need to accept our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, into your heart, to cleanse such sinful thinking!

Hmm, fair enough but I would say latex gloves and latex condoms are equally prominent (the latter obviously not helpful as far as avoiding dodgy results on Google)
- Comment on klown show 6 x-treme 3 weeks ago:
That’s true but it’s also not really worth very much.
- Comment on klown show 6 x-treme 3 weeks ago:
I’m sorry what? What about:
- Shoes
- Gloves
- Tyres
- Elastic bands
- Balloons
All of these are made (partly) from natural (i.e. latex) rubber.
- Comment on I knew that Mandelson failed security vetting. So why didn’t Keir Starmer? 3 weeks ago:
Anyone who, at this point, actually wants a no-confidence vote and a change of PM is a bit unhinged.
If Starmer lied to parliament (and the public) then he needs to go, but that would be an extremely unfortunate situation given what’s happening in the world. The idea that a rogue foreign office should have that fairly dire consequence is not sane.
I know he’s unpopular, but such views are not serious IMO.

- Comment on klown show 6 x-treme 3 weeks ago:
Latex is just a kind of rubber, and a material produced by some plants used for making rubber. Sure, if you’re not careful when googling, you can get dodgy results with “latex” in the terms, but that seems to me to be of a different calibre.

Is this just a reference to The GIMP or are there other common apps with dodgy names? I’m struggling to think of any.
