  • It's not being banned. They're forcing the US portion of the company to be bought and run by an American company. To the users tiktok will remain, but the Chinese government will no longer have a direct line to the company leadership

  • Killing WfH isn't about boosting company value, it's about restoring corporate real-estate value, which execs and shareholders are invested balls deep into. Pretty sure everyone knows this, and claims otherwise are just super transparent lies

  • 'Mansplaining' is basically just sexist patronizing, but the word reeks of unprofessional slang to me. I fully admit it may be my own biases coloring that perception, but I've also only really heard it used by people who hold over-the-top opinions like men spread their legs to try and marginalize women. Like if a woman acted like a father couldn't possibly know how to raise a child and needed to explain simple shit to him, I wouldn't say she was womansplaining I'd just say she was being sexist and patronizing. Same goes for men and mansplaining.

  • You're gonna have to give us some examples. If this is just some 'well I didn't see anyone die from covid' shit, then yes, your perceptions would be wrong. It'd be like scooping a handful of water out of the ocean and declaring whales aren't real because you don't see any

  • but offering advice when it's not asked for IS DEFINITELY a form of toxic masculinity.

    Highly dependent on context. There's "mansplaining" like you're talking about (though that word sounds infantile for this kind of discussion), and there's the neutral, adding your own two cents into a forum conversion. Especially when op thought they might be putting themselves in danger by doing something they shouldn't be.

    It'd be like if he called you a toxic sexist for your response to him. That's stupid, we're all in a forum just having a conversation, and people jumping in mid-thread is to be expected

  • I'll come at you with an original thought when you can answer the repeated question lol complaining about people repeating things like Jesus supporting slavery doesn't work when all you do is sidestep the question

  • Doesn't Jesus tell slaves to obey their earthly masters? Let's not white wash the thousands year old morals in that book and act like people that aren't all good today are just perverting what it said

  • The proposals you'll likely be linking to are an attempt to circumvent the people's refusal to accept that we're all the same, by giving additional support to those marginalized groups. Since you can't force people to not be racist, the next alternative is to try and offset how that racism closes doors off.

    Things like affirmative action policies are an imperfect attempt at offsetting facts like how identical resumes, but one with a traditionally black name, will get substantially less offers from a wide variety of companies than the one with a white name. It's basically a "this is why we can't have nice things" response to continued racism and people pretending that racism isn't still a problem.
