Well of all the minorities Asians are hardly underrepresented in engineering. It's not like anyone's going to go "wow, an Asian engineer! This place is progressive." And at the notion that white males will ever be threatened as a demographic in loving engineering.

What would people even talk about in a straight pride group? "Today is the 1,953rd straight day that nobody has called the police on me for smooching my husband in public." "I got married today and nobody cared except my friends and family." "I put my penis in a consenting adult without sparking a national debate."

They'd talk about everything the typical "repressed majority" obsessively talk about: how much they hate everyone different from themselves and how it isn't fair they don't get to repress people anymore.

White men are generally uncomfortable around minorities when they don't act white and tend to be far more entitled than people of other races and genders for the same work.

There's nothing to stop these people joining in the gay pride parades if they want. Lots of "straight allies" go along with their gay friends, or they just go by themselves to add to the numbers and show their support for LGBT rights.

Sorry. Forgot the article. http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/true-bloods-nelsan-ellis-slams-former-co-star-luke-grimes-who-reportedly-quit-over-gay-story I left in the comments telling Eva Graves she's an idiot. Oh, also the article is on a site called "Gaystarnews", so you'd think that people like her would realize that this isn't the place for her.

A nice thing about a lot of "dying" industries is that they are cash-heavy. Every community art space I've ever known has a lot of fun stuff going on off the books that, no doubt, helps keep the place afloat. As long as your friends figure out what they want to sell and how to launder money they'll be fine.

There's a few board games shops and cybercafes that are still doing a good trade in Edinburgh (the Games Workshop is even on the Royal Mile where the rent is obscenely high), but I think that's because gaming nerds will spend lots of money on their hobby before anything else, so even a small target market will pay for it.

As kickstarter has proven, nerds are the greatest economic power in the world. Plus the game stores have an active community of players coming in and hanging out, so it's easy to sell them on more products. Doesn't help that board games are booming in popularity lately.

MizPiz posted:He is right, though. White men are generally uncomfortable around minorities when they don't act white and tend to be far more entitled than people of other races and genders for the same work. "Through no fault of their own," was the unspoken subtext. The lead-up was standard "businesses are forced to hire minorities over whites." I don't know how that idea is reconciled with the fact that blacks are unemployed at about 195% the rate of whites. I guess if the system was fair, white unemployment would be 0%.

This looks like fun! It might be a prank--the city says nobody has applied for a festival permit that day--but the flyers are real. We'll all just have to wait until September to see if anyone shows up.

I don't hate straight people I just wish they'd stop flaunting their sexuality in public. I was at dinner and this man was kissing his girlfriend and it's like, hello, I'm trying to eat here.

so I'm about to defriend this dipshit; can't really remember why we're Facebook friends. I'm involved in local standup comedy, so it's probably a friend of a comic or someone who came to a show or whatever. There's something about this guy that goes beyond the usual idiot. the image that made my eyes roll so hard I hit unfriend: the usual alright so he hates socialism and 'Comrade Obama' and government handouts but ...okay so maybe he's sort of a centrist democra-- No. Just an idiot. An idiot on social media. so close! so very very close!

I'm not saying it's not awful what's happening to these Iraqi families but this rear end in a top hat has been posting all week about how loving deserved the slaughter of Palestinians has been.

Maybe Ohio's different but here in the UK, straight, white, preferably middle-class people are the only people who can get away with using drugs, even in public, while the police turn a blind eye and search ethnic minorities instead. May as well make the most of it.
