When all this shit is done the companies that stuck with DEI will have the upper hand in creating the best products. The data on this topic is pretty clear.

 

Google says in the employee memo that it's "carefully evaluating" other DEI initiatives across the company that "raise risk" or "aren't as impactful as we'd hoped."

Be Evil.

Between this and them loosening regulations on AI I think it's safe to say Google has gone full evil

Google went full evil a long time ago

Companies showing their true colors everywhere, no surprise at all they are all evil.

I guess they are finally showing their true faces now

If dems ever have power again, they need to go after these tech bros assholes. Dismantle their companies completely.

Not only that, but people cannot let these slimy weasels walk their stances back. If Dems have control ever again, I don't want to see any of these tech companies being like "on second thought ...".

Yea… seeing all of those tech leaders at the inauguration makes me believe that they know Trump and his cronies are here to stay. They are just falling in line because the tide isn't going to change in their lifetime and they have a chance to be on the power side.

If there was any chance that things would change in 4 years. Things would be different.

corporations are not and never will be your friend, nor a force for any good in the world

Honestly this is the straw that breaks the camels back for me. I'm switching to iOS

How about that Apple has decided to party with the Nazi's company, Starlink? Now he's going to have more power with everyone connected to that global system

Don't forget Tim Cook was at the inauguration too and donated to it.

Think I need to look at how to un-google my life and shift out of the android ecosystem.

Your CEO is literally a PoC you fucking idiots.

You'd think he'd have some say in it but then again a lot of people turn into the "fuck you I got mine" mentality at that pay grade.

He's a billionaire first.

Looking inside for News to the upcoming German election sucks.
Looking outside for News to distract myself to see how the rest of the world is doing and it's just a downward spiral.

I hate all of this.

Love how these threads always have posts mixed in where people say "they never meant it and these programs weren't real true DEI anyway" as everyone else is performatively swearing off every single company on Earth and talking about this scam shit going away is the Fourth Reich 2.0 with Extra Genocide.

Also the racism where they think the CEO has to support idiocy because of his skin color or else he's immoral.

big kudos to them
americans, pls shop more at cotsco

Except unionized Costcos have overwhelmingly voted to strike January 31st

Credit where credit's due for the board, but don't cross the picket line if your store is striking (or even if it's not).

wow this is suck

nvm dont shop at cotsco guys until it is resolved

[Daffy Duck]

Wow, colour me surprised to read about a collapse of trans support on Terf island when the trans people have acted the way they have (they are truly vile people), who on earth could’ve seen that coming!

Genuinely have sympathy for the genuine trans people who just want to live their lives without bothering anyone as the Era type have truly ruined it for all of them.

Regarding this new mod application season, which is definitely not designed as a way to pretend there is a process behind all of this when actually it’ll just be a case of picking favourites; who do we think will get the roles?

I’m feeling something like;

- Rychu
- Kyuuji
- ClickyCal’
- 2-3 1000ish post accounts which are definitely not other existing mod alt accounts

[Besticus Maximus]

Kyuuji, the JD Vance of the new guard

[jooseloose]

UK yougov poll shows collapse in trans support across the board with every demographic

The terminally online trans people like Kyuuji, Clicky etc. have really set back the plight of normal trans people (who I genuinely support and feel sorry for) for years to come, and I can't see it recovering for a long time under the current political landscape here.

When you're finding yourself arguing for rapists of women to go to a women prison just because said rapist declare himself a woman out the blue after arrest, maybe consider that that was a sign of your cause jumping the shark?

Or calling biological women "womb havers";

Or thinking it's fine for pre-op transwomen to have their dicks flopping around in women/girls changing areas;

Or biting the heads off your own allies when they aren't complete doormats and disagree with your cause on one or a few points but otherwise supports it;

Or pressuring lesbians to try lady dick or accuse them of "transphobia";

Or basically the entire issue with them competing in women's sports.

The trans movement have continuously burned bridges and presented itself in an aggressive, all-or-nothing matter. It's little wonder there's a backlash and erosion of support across the board. There's much the trans movement could have done differently these last 15-ish years to help ease society into being more open-minded about them.

From conversations, this was a big point of radicalization for women. Especially when you didn’t have such gobbledygook about men. Weird decision all around.

My favourite was the medical dictionary with a paragraph-long definition of ‘female’, but ‘male’ just said, “The sex that produces spermatozoa.”

It's always option 4

How about that Apple has decided to party with the Nazi's company, Starlink? Now he's going to have more power with everyone connected to that global system

What actually happened is T-Mobile, and only T-Mobile, enabled support for Starlink’s direct to cell service, which is supposedly compatible with all 4G phones, for customers with iPhones, like they already did for selected Google and Samsung phones.

Somehow this is Apple partnering (or indeed partying 🎉 ) with the Nazis.

But I guess Era isn’t known for reading past the headline.

Kyujijigi and Cucky are the worst option, so there's a high probability of this being the choice he makes.

[StandingOvation]

Your average Joe Schmo isn’t going to want to be a mod at the best of times, let alone this forum. They’ll be getting applications from a mixture of do-gooders wanting to fix things (who’ll get ignored) and the hyper-online users wanting to make a power play to steer things in their preferred direction.

I mean, I don’t want that to happen of course, but history shows the Mod Team of ResetEra don’t have a great batting average when it comes to decisions relating to the site.

Who's boycotting this?

There was a pretty good size Pro-Palestine protest outside of the screening at the Chinese theater yesterday. A lot of people have been calling for boycotts of Disney and Marvel for their continue support of Israel.

[Besticus Maximus]

Well Intersectionality is a pretty tough cookie to crack. On the one hand, we must defend Marvel. Further, this is Captain America, who is very important to phase 2 of the universe. On the other, Disney are zionist. We can't withblame folks for being seen over this.

Are they really losing anything? The trans people you're referring to never had much stake in a lot of the overreaching stuff that internet-catgirl-type trans make a huge deal out of. 

Trans people are not new, but somehow playing in women's sports or redefining the scientific concept of sex were never high priority items for them (along with most of the rest of it).

This is undoubtedly many an American's first run-in with fascism, and it is scary to them. But welcome to the club that colonized peoples (Black and Indigenous folks) who also live here, and have been sounding the alarm about for decades, have been going through for centuries.

An elementary historical reading of the economic and social conditions forewarned that this was inevitable, if not in 2024 then sometime later. We've been here plenty of times before and we will get out of it. I'm confident we will! Change is inevitable!

There has also been an increase in organizing, and lessons from previous battles are being applied right now. Look to the Indivisible Organization for some good stuff on the civic front.

Indivisible Action, a progressive PAC, has announced it will endorse President Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign.

In a news release, Indivisible Action said it made its decision to support Biden’s reelection bid following a two-week voting period where the PAC’s leaders, group members and unaffiliated activists cast their vote.

About 97 percent of the members who participated in the voting period cast their votes for Biden, affirming the group’s endorsement of his campaign.

“We are so proud to make this endorsement official today. In his first term, President Biden has led the country through a perilous period, while also delivering on transformational policies on climate and economic opportunity with the slimmest congressional majorities. President Biden has restored decency and leadership to the White House, and perhaps most importantly, he has been a champion for democracy and choice in the face of MAGA extremism that has worked to rollback rights and personal freedoms at every turn,” Indivisible Action co-executive director Leah Greenberg said in a statement.

Greenberg also said that with their endorsement of Biden’s reelection campaign, they’re doing whatever it takes “to reelect Joe Biden and to send the forces of Donald Trump and MAGA extremism back to the dustbin of history.”

“Everything we care about is on the ballot next November: our bodily autonomy, economic and climate justice, and the fate of democracy itself,” Greenberg added. We can and will use our people power to win: to reelect Joe Biden, expand our majorities, and reclaim our rights and democracy. That work starts here.”

“The Indivisible movement began as a movement to stop Trumpism. Defeating Trump and stopping MAGA extremism is our north star. The consensus is clear. There is no doubt in our minds: Rallying around the Vice President is the way to beat Donald Trump.

“Because the Indivisible movement’s power is ultimately in community-by-community local organizing, we are also encouraging Indivisible groups to locally run their own endorsement processes and announce them in their communities, and to hold events to welcome Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket. “

...

“Everything we care about is on the ballot this November. We can and will use our people power to win: to elect Kamala Harris, expand our majorities, and reclaim our rights and democracy.”

Politics is a spectator sport for most Americans. And not an entertaining one at that — it’s full of dread, doom scrolling, and confusion over fluctuations in swing-state polls. As with most anxieties, the only antidote is action — and the 2024 contest has many avenues for Americans willing to make democracy a voter-contact sport. Are you someone who wants to heed Michelle Obama’s call to “do something?” Here’s something to do:

Turn out your neighbors to vote.

One of the largest voter-turnout organizations on the progressive side is Indivisible, which went viral in response to the election of Donald Trump in 2016, and helped channel the anger of “resistance” Democrats into political power. Ezra Levin, one of the founders of Indivisible, is bullish on 2024 — and ambitious. “Our north star is taking the White House, the House, and the Senate,” he tells Rolling Stone, seeking to deliver a “Democrat trifecta so that we can reform the filibuster, codify reproductive freedom, and pass democracy reform.”

To put this dream in play, Indivisible is innovating the “ground game” used to get out the vote in 2024. With a program called Neighbor2Neighbor, Indivisible is mobilizing progressive volunteers to canvas where they live — and persuade neighbors who are like-minded, but infrequent-voters, to cast a ballot.

Now I know why she mentioned them.
