go back to wooden cart wheels

polonius-rex ,

you have as much agency over being born with "a magic power greater than any special" and being born "the descendant of a SUPER Special Royal Family"

polonius-rex ,

because piracy is a service problem

polonius-rex ,

you really think ONE android could wipe out life as we know it?

polonius-rex ,

i'm not worried because an android that heavy couldn't even stand up

polonius-rex ,

i'll take 8 levels in wizard and 2 in pmc contractor

polonius-rex ,

it looks like something out of modern high fantasy

polonius-rex ,

moist socks appear from the ether and strap themselves to your feet

polonius-rex ,

you deserve to be trapped in a particularly hellish demiplane

And the boogaloo part

The boogaloo movement, whose adherents are often referred to as boogaloo boys or boogaloo bois,[3] is a loosely organized far-right anti-government extremist movement in the United States.[4][5][6][7][8][9] It has also been described as a militia.[10][11][12] Adherents say they are preparing for, or seek to incite, a second American Civil War or second American Revolution which they call "the boogaloo" or "the boog".[13][14]

i'm sure it's just a 36 year old named john boogaart

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage: TOILET DAD

polonius-rex ,

who is he phoning

polonius-rex ,

it was both

it used to be two screenshots of books, one of which was blurred as fuck, and one of which was usually pretty easy

the easy one was to verify that you were a human, and the blurry one was to train ai

now that they've moved on to "select all the fire hydrants" or whatever, you can still see a distinction between the ones the system knows and the ones the system doesn't know, and if you get good enough at spotting it, you can pass the captcha while feeding it deliberately incorrect information

similarly, the audio test will normally be a short phrase, the first half of which is harder to understand; if you get the second part of it right, you can basically write whatever you want for the first part

 

also, i'm not sure security theater really exists as a concept in cybersecurity, because the psychology isn't really the same

bad actors will always be able to just hire people in meatspace to solve whatever shibboleth you throw at them, which is pennies per solve

however, pennies per request is still a cost orders of magnitude higher than what each request would cost otherwise, so the hope is it pushes whatever scam or whatever you're running into the territory of unprofitability

polonius-rex ,

using the correct term makes it more clear that the difference is in average overall earning, not in the pay received per hour of the same work

no there's still a gap per-hour for the same work

more and more of the gap is accounted for via factors that have nothing to do with discrimination/prejudice/etc

wow this is news to me i can't wait to see the explanations

  1. Fields dominated by men happen to pay more? Why?
  2. Why are men socially in a position where they can choose these higher risk occupations?
  3. Construction, oil field workers, logging all seem to have a pretty bad reputation for hostile work environments for women, no? For fishing, see 4.
  4. Why are men more often in positions where this is possible? What gender difference could there possibly be that could make this the case? What sexual dimorphism has led to this difference? What social expectations have we placed upon women that would lead to this? Personally I haven't a clue.
  5. Why are men expected to be the breadwinner?
  6. Why would higher risks lead to a higher median salary? Also, why are men more likely to take risks?
  7. See 4
  8. See 1
  9. Why?
  10. See 7
  11. See 8, 10
  12. See 10
  13. See 12
  14. See 13
  15. See 14
  16. See 15
  17. Why are men more able to relocate than women?
  18. See 16
  19. See 6
  20. Sounds like this is a consequence of being able to work longer hours, in which case, see 18

The remaining gap is smaller than the margin of error, once you account for every known factor.

no, it isn't

it'd be absurdly impractical otherwise (no one is going to be examining the individual daily acts of all these people at their jobs),

you know, other than like researchers

You have cause and effect backwards. The fields pay more first, then men are shown to gravitate more toward them

genuinely very funny that you just wrote over 200 words to restate your original very bad arguments

this is circular af

This is a loaded question. Men aren't any more "socially in a position" to do so than women.

sorry i made the critical error of "assuming you had an actual point to make"

unless you're actually out here trying to make a case that FEEEEMAALEESS are just genetically predisposed to being scared of making money

Okay, really now, let's not pretend there are these throngs of women clamoring to be 'let in' to the roofing industry

you're right the second x chromosome makes them completely incapable of laying tiles upon other tiles

genuinely what point do you think you're making?

are you actually unironically trying to claim that there aren't incredibly real social barriers to entry for women trying to get into the construction industry, for example?

Left to make a free choice, men are simply more likely to risk their safety and lives for a bigger paycheck, than women are

wow super weird that the gender class that isn't expected to care for the next generation for 15-18 years is treated as more sacrificial i wonder how that could have happened i guess science will never know

In fact, the data has shown that the more egalitarian a society is re sex equality, the more pronounced those differences become

i don't really have anything to say here other than the fact that this just straight up isn't true

a lot easier to argue for a point when you're willing to just make shit up, i guess

no one will choose it over the safer option, obviously.

just casually ignoring the side of the risk where you die and make no money, i guess

i actually love that you think everybody can succeed in what is almost by definition the zero-sum game of venture capitalism it's very sweet

This is the 'working with things' vs. 'working with people' general preference difference between men and women, in action.

wow i can't wait to see the evidence that you provide to prove this is genetic and not social predisposition it will turn the field on its head

oh what's that? you don't have that evidence

WEIRD

Point 17 doesn't say men are more ABLE, it says they're more WILLING.

oh weird please could you link the study that sufficiently justifies men are more willing rather than more able to relocate?

Done with your ignorant "nuh uh" garbage

ah yes because you're backing up everything you say with sources, and not just spouting shit

this is the first time you've tried to cite something to back yourself up, and the thing you chose to cite agrees with me.

"most of the raw earnings differential": you know that "most" doesn't mean "all", right?

so what we have here is you saying something that's wrong, me telling you it's wrong, you proving to both of us that it's wrong, and then you complaining that i'm telling you it's wrong

I'm not going to entertain your "prove it's not" nonsense, that's not how it works

either you're utterly inept enough to get burden of proof completely ass-backwards, or you're deliberately misinterpreting it here because you're arguing in bad faith

obviously i wouldn't accuse you of being utterly inept because it would be rude so i would ask that you conduct yourself in a manner befitting the high standards set by the rest of your "wage gap is a myth" folks

to clarify: you're making the claim that women are genetically predisposed to behave in a certain way, so it's you who gets to back that up

Did you know that the earnings gap between men and women among the 8.7 million employees across 33 countries where it was measured is the smallest in the countries where women have the fewest rights/equality?

i'm pretty sure i know the exact study you're citing (well not citing, vaguely gesturing towards) which is why i'm so confident that it's nonsense

if it's the one i'm thinking of, they completely misuse a statistical indicator so badly that they literally invert the trend in their data

 

i'll make this really simple for you. you need to make a convincing case that either:

  • our social system doesn't typically expect the bulk of childcare to fall on women
  • the bulk of childcare falling on one parent over the other doesn't impact the amount of flexibility that parent has in their schedule

otherwise, we've just demonstrated systemic sexism present in the wage gap

(i know you won't reply to this because you know that you can't make that convincing case; this is more for the benefit of future viewers)
