I still feel confident I can nail Gens 1-4.

Ahoy, guys.
Be the change you want to see in this world, don’t let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.

Unfortunately this seems to be my experience and perspective too. White guys who think this strongly that we’re victimized or disenfranchised make me very suspicious of what the rest of their worldview entails.

Sure, I can appreciate that in cases where it feels particularly forced or inorganic. However, to the extent that the tech/software world aligns with academia or leadership, it’s such a common trope that white guys are very predominant in these positions of authority and conduct themselves like this to women constantly. It doesn’t feel inorganic I guess because of that frame of awareness.
So I do agree that mentioning race like this is sure to be received poorly, but I struggle to weigh that aspect of her post in the focused magnitude that others here as significant compared to her treatment.

Thanks for the clarification. This is how I find out that I’m old.

I’m very sorry, but what is ITT and baww?

White dude here. It’s super easy to read something like this without feeling disenfranchised or bullied. Sure we can do better to avoid it, but that should not at all be the main takeaway from this testimonial. Why aren’t you angry at the common propensity of women in places of academic and professional authority being looked down upon and disrespected like this? This is super common.

Yes, myself included.
- Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it? 1 year ago:
Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.

Either 2 and 3 or 3 and 7.
Free gravel is fantastic, a ton of practical things to be done with it and is otherwise expensive.
Teleporting 7 inches away is enough to get you past many barriers and walls, that’s not insignificant. This seems the coolest to me.
Being able to determine if a container is empty or not seems pretty cool as well although I can’t think of a good example of how this would be useful.
The rest are hilarious.

I was admittedly on the train with Marvel until End Game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve since fallen off the MCU. I’ll still catch Batman, but otherwise I’m on board with moving on.
