It’s a good thing when people leave for a place that suits them better. I would leave a team that made issues I don’t care about an important part of the job, but that doesn’t mean I think they’re doing anything wrong.

> people who are marginalized don't have the luxury of putting it down the list of their priorities

Yes they do. High income tech worker are not oppressed in any meaningful way. It’s just a coincidence that they look similar to people who have real problems.

From the post she linked:

> Basecamp should be a place where employees can come to work with colleagues of all backgrounds and political convictions without having to deal with heavy political or societal debates unconnected to that work.

I completely agree with this and it’s the kind of environment that I would prefer to work in.

Never. Friendship comes from spending regular unstructured time with other people. It’s very hard to make real friends on purpose.

More proof that we should all be listening to Alex Jones.

> What do you expect to see or hope to test for?

I think the idea is that financially secure people are more willing to speak their mind. Getting salary upfront means everyone has small scale “fuck you” money. The problem here is that most people don’t actually have a reason to care about their employer’s problems, so not speaking up is often just a strategy of least resistance.

> It's obvious: you have a cultural problem, and you can't change people... so have to replace people.

This makes no sense at all. The government exists to serve those people who are getting replaced, so if you fix their problems by replacing them then nothing has actually been solved. You’re putting the importance of the government and the region over the people which is backwards.

> Gamification will be rampant and will absorb people in to it.

When I see how much mundane grinding people are willing to do for video game rewards, it makes me wonder if status or cosmetics in a virtual world will ever be used in place of real compensation for work. Maybe as a gig economy thing? That would effectively give the world controllers the ability to create currency. Virtual economics are already huge and people work in them for fun.

The post is just trying to help people cope with knowing that they're behind. It's not a good approach to life.

Lip reading ASL is pretty tough

A foot rub isn’t a sex act? All conditional sex is rape. If the other person doesn’t enthusiastically and unconditionally consent, then it’s rape. This is obvious, and if you’re having a hard time getting it then you’re probably a sex offender.

Sex for money is coerced sex, which is also a form of rape.
