I have to admit I've been hearing abit about the break down of his lawsuit, and I'm kind of changing my stance to "everyone is awful."

He put out a loving dumb paper with loving dumb ideas and got fired, that's all I knew and was cool with, but holy poo poo the google internal message board is insane to the point I bet he wins his lawsuit. People acting like you set their children on fire, threatening him, getting super hilariously racist to prove how not racist they are and then started giving away their employee bonuses to people who'd flame him with management's support

He's a completely incorrect rear end in a top hat but good God are a lot of employees are google fuckballs nuts. It's like watching two assholes argue over what 2+2 is worth, and one of them think it's 3 and the other 5

ED: There's a ton of people at google who use the word 'microaggression' unironically and with complete self-righteousness too.. like.. this dude is a sexist rear end in a top hat but google seems to be actively supporting stuff that's hilariously off the deep end in the other direction. Like they'd been better off if they fired every single person in the thread I think.

I agree with all of this.

Microaggressions are real things, as shown by all the people who get upset by the fact that people use the word.

this entire lawsuit is p obviously a stunt to force companies to clamp down on any hint of personal discussion in the workplace, for fear that any personal facts anyone shares might end up getting leaked to neo-Nazis by the creepy libertarian weirdo no one likes

i don't know if i believe them when they say that but at least they're not google

they also seem to give better search results. google got pretty bad about that a few years ago.

How does the guy who identifies as a building work? Is he the building they are all working in or is he like a building inside a building? If the latter I am having issues understanding the physical mechanics of it.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

so is this an intentional strawman for hyperbolic effect or are you actually stupid enough to think that’s what i said

They use Bing for search results now, it's basically a Bing version of startpage with bangs.
