gretchenfrage Link ParentThank you for your perspective! Even if you refuse out of enlightened self-interest, I don't think that necessarily eliminates the effect your refusal to take jobs that conflict with your values...Thank you for your perspective! Even if you refuse out of enlightened self-interest, I don't think that necessarily eliminates the effect your refusal to take jobs that conflict with your values has. With regards to my personal situation, I'll keep on keeping on. Maybe I can find some networking events in the area or something.

I'm unfortunately in a position that conflicts with my own code of ethics. Do you have any advice on how to leave?

gretchenfrage LinkI hadn't realized that this was something that was happening. I'd be curious as to the scale of this movement, considering how idolized big tech companies are by non-engineers.

Good on those featured in the article for taking meaningful action, or non-action based on their principles though!

Comment on What aspect of the LGBT community do you feel like is least discussed? in ~lgbt
gretchenfrage Link ParentI thought it was really great too! I've also heard "Ladies, gentlemen, and those that lieth betwixt" from Contrapoints, but I like that the musician's version is inclusive of people who identify...I thought it was really great too! I've also heard "Ladies, gentlemen, and those that lieth betwixt" from Contrapoints, but I like that the musician's version is inclusive of people who identify outside the male-female scale entirely.

Even it's not as in depth as you want, I've found his videos useful as a jumping off point to more in depth stuff.

gretchenfrage Link ParentI think it's definitely not just you. There's a problem where less-prominent shades in the rainbow get left out just out of ignorance.

I myself used to not be great about recognizing other members of MOGAI (and still might not be, but I'm trying to improve). Hopefully visibility will continue to improve, but we'll see. The positive response to characters like Daryl from Crazy Ex Girlfriend makes me optimistic about the future though. Even little things will help. For example, a musician I saw recently kept addressing the audience with "Ladies, gentlemen, those outside and in-between". It seems small, but I'm it doesn't go unnoticed.

gretchenfrage LinkJust started listening to some Marina City. So far I've been digging their vibe. It's been a while since I've found a good emo-ish alt pop-y group.Just started listening to some Marina City. So far I've been digging their vibe.

I imagine there's a lot of overlap between ~humanities and ~lgbt for menslib discussions - at least with regards to how the conversation is handled on the subreddit.

gretchenfrage Link ParentI wouldn't mind seeing menslib discussions here. I feel like that community is pretty good at keeping substantive, respectful conversation. Disclaimer: I have absolutely posted there before.I wouldn't mind seeing menslib discussions here. I feel like that community is pretty good at keeping substantive, respectful conversation.

I'm glad to see other people enjoy Three Arrows! I listen to that video on repeat just for the pure disdain in his voice when talking about Peterson's reliance on Jung.
