That person is asking people to hide any hint of sexual emotion for 8 hours a day every day forever. And then judge them for not having sex.

Only a feminist woman could argue like that: sex is their unit of value and only they would be so moronic to ask someone to not be sexual and then insult them for not having sex.

"Do your job" means: no TikToks on the job. No forced DEILGBTQIAAAP+ seminars and no person hired or kept for anything but their performance and importance for the work focus.

"Don't make comments to people about anything that makes them human. Do not act like a human to other humans in the workplace": not going to happen. F you and your bullshit forever. We are all humans. We are not machines and we will never be turned into cogs in the machine. We are demanding everyone to act professionally and FOCUS on work issues, but demanding humans to shed ALL their human-related substance for 8 hours every workday is insane. We are not robots. We will never be robots. And you demand us to be. You want us to be faceless, emotionless, inhumane zombies, robots, golems. When everything human is "sexual harassment", you need to work with machines. There are plenty of jobs available with machines and robots. Go there. If you work with healthy young men and women, you will encounter emotions and sexuality. Deal with it. It's what we are. We can never not be humans and we will never be free of reproductive and tribal aspects. It is baked in our DNA and the only reason we have new humans. Birth rates are collapsing everywhere because of demands like yours. Either this idea ends or the civilization that tries to uphold it. Your choice. I say we end the idea first so we can continue being a civilization.

"Incel" means your only unit of value is intercourse. That shows you are a feminist woman arguing against your strawman caricature of men. Also, used in this context, immediately before asking people to NOT do, think, talk, act in any hint of a sexual manner is idiotic. You are judging people for having sex or not and THEN demand they don't have any sexual emotion - how utterly moronic.

Every company has staff that can easily be let go in an engineering firm without harming productivity:

- GenZ Boss and a Mini
- Itty Bitties and a Bob
- 5'3 and an Attitude
- Try not to cringe: impossible
- all others who TikTok on the job, no matter if they're posting or just watching
- "I'm a People Person" persons
- DEI officers and their commissars
- DEI hires

In short: anyone who is proudly wasting company time and resources and / or is hired / kept because of reasons unrelated to the core function of the business, especially political reasons, signaling, fear of discrimination lawsuits etc.

Anyone who's more proud of the name of the company they work for than their actual work.

Anyone who speaks like a career politician.

Anyone who demands something from others they don't do themselves.

Anyone who would NOT come in to help the company on a Sunday for a true, actual, once in a decade major emergency at their workplace, unless they are sick, have small children or family members that truly require care, have important family obligations (that means births, weddings, funerals, 70th birthdays of their parents and up, not a BBQ at aunties) or are out of town.

Anyone involved in not avoiding that once in a decade emergency.

Occupy Wall St. happened.

The tribe panicked and decided that they really really really need to divide and conquer society before their banks get overrun by protesters. That's when they started trooning and diversifying everyone out, as people who are preoccupied with their genitals can't nationalize the banks.

Diversity is the keyword.

Few people want to be in the a movie theater with the loudest people of the planet. And all our cities have them by the boatload.

Few people like to see movies that are bursting at the seams with diversity and wokism. All current big media production have nothing else.

Few people want to pay a trillion dollars for popcorn and softdrinks. All our cinemas are like that.

Few people want to be in the big cities at night because stabbings and muggings happen and the street are full of feces and fentanyl.

Diversity noise x diversity movies x diversity pricing x diversity crime x diversity feces x diversity fentanyl.

No thanks.

Correct. This is what big tech has been trying to do for years: know EVERYTHING everyone does on their devices. Any excuse of the most modest "improvements" and "AI support" is just to get the users to be ok with it or at least don't balk too much.

"We record your every action and perform full AI analysis on it so the regime^h^h^h^h^h^h^hYOU, of course YOU only YOU can know and recall what you were doing illegally, I mean, privately on our, I mean, your device."

The USA cannot go against the interests of the banks for reasons that are insanely obvious and still absolutely taboo to talk about, because despite half the congresspeople openly and freely, and quite vehemently, presenting themselves as supporter of you know who, it is still considered false and wrong to repeat them in their own words and show the flags they have in their offices, on their office doors, on their lapels, during their speeches in front of the respective donor supergroup and during each of their first visits after being elected, which always and invariably goes to a certain old wall halfway across the globe.

Iceland could skip the banks that back then. That loophole was closed in 2018.

Dropping 32bit PhysX support is never going to save enough Dollars to offset the reduction in sales to gamers and the drop in share prices because of bad publicity in any way attached to Nvidia.

Sure, gaming is not their primary market anymore. But the customers there are loud and relentless, generating bad press and that bad press will affect brand recognition and share prices - and the combination of bad press, brand recognition and hiccups in the share price WILL affect the big purchase decisions for AI projects, because they are still done by actual humans and actual humans will have all kinds of factors influence their decisions. Every business decision is influenced by these factors and it is more or less related to the halo effect (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FHalo_effect) and the color of the bikeshed-problem (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FLaw_of_triviality).

Nvidia got bad press for these things in the 5000 series and from the distance of a market analyst or purchasing expert, they might look like this:
A) Nvidia's 5000 GPU series are melting power connectors because of bad decision and material choices
B) One fix to the overheating issue is a 10 Dollar part from AliExpress that Nvidia cheaped out on and that needs manual installation, possibly voiding the warranty.
C) Nvidia's 5000 GPU series have an abysmally slow performance in some workloads because of a critically important feature they deliberately removed to save literally only a few pennies per unit
D) Nvidia's stock price is already dropping because Chinese AI companies might do more AI with less hardware.
E) Nvidia is hugely, critically dependent on the China/Taiwan situation through their only supplier TSMC and their sub-contract to Netherland's ASML
F) Nvidia's 5000 GPU was received with lukewarm praises from experts because of lackluster performance increases compared to the earlier 4000 series coupled with outrageous price hikes.

And now you're pondering about a million or billion dollar investment in Nvidia AI modules, thinking about the value for money you get, reliability of the product, reliability of the supplier, longevity of the product, longevity and even medium-term support situation. Half of the above is related to gaming workloads and the opinion of gamers, sure, but imagine you're pondering about committing a billion dollars towards a risky endeavour in AI. Would you commit that billion to a company that quite obviously cheaps out 10 dollars on critically important features like power, cheaps out on literal PENNIES per unit for a backward compatibility that would be trivially easy to maintain, has all their eggs put in one TSMC-colored basket in ONE Taiwanese city Hsinchu sitting right on the possible invasion beach in Taiwan.

We call everyone a leftist who argues not about facts and actual arguments but is using appeals to majority to make a point and derives in-group / out-group distinctions from opinions that differ from a claimed majority, from which they derive an automatic "you are dumb" which is inseparable to them from "being out-group".
