This document also only pertains to Stanford communications (i.e. websites and code). This thread portrays it as though it bans the words on campus, when that is not the case.
"Claiming that the EHLI was 'intended as a guide, not a mandate,' to replace racist and harmful terminology used in IT communications, Steve Gallagher, Stanford's chief information officer, acknowledged this past Wednesday that while the 'primary motivation of this initiative was always to promote a more inclusive and welcoming environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel they belong,' it was time to pull back and reconsider.
'The feedback that this work was broadly viewed as counter to inclusivity means we missed the intended mark. It is for this reason that we have taken down the EHLI site,' Gallagher wrote. He added, “The path forward will be determined after reviewing all recent feedback and consulting with university academic and administrative leadership. All efforts will be guided by Stanford’s commitment to academic freedom.”

Anyways, if you wanted to mock the language guide, then why not use the more ridiculous examples such as:
"American"
"You guys"
"Trigger warning" (lol)
"White paper" -
I agree with what they’re pushing here, to be honest. A lot of people use terms that are derogatory to members of society with disabilities, without realising what the words meanings may be. It’s also the same for many ethnic minorities and I think the Latinx example used here portrays that well.
I also have noticed that you’ve only selected some lighter examples and not more crucial ones. It would maybe be better to show the latter as they have highlighted an issue here.
"Surveys of Hispanic and Latino Americans have found that the vast majority prefer other terms such as Hispanic and Latina/Latino to describe themselves, and that only 2–3% use Latinx.[2][3] A 2020 Pew Research Center survey found that roughly three-quarters of U.S. Latinos were not aware of the term Latinx; of those aware of it, 33% (i.e., about 8% of all U.S. Latinos) said it should be used to describe their racial or ethnic group, while 65% said it should not.[4][3]
Critics say the term does not follow traditional grammar, is difficult to pronounce, and is disrespectful toward conventional Spanish;[5] the Royal Spanish Academy style guide does not recognize the suffix -x.[6] Both supporters and opponents have cited linguistic imperialism as a reason for supporting or opposing the use of the term.[5]"

I get the issue with the words.

Vouch. More than enough time for the ban.

Do the majority of Democratic, black voters support this policy? Or for that matter: do the majority of Democrat-voters support this policy?
my only knowledge on this question comes from a paper i read a while back. it was by john pankow and i’m sure you can find it online somewhere. it claimed that around half of the african americans who participated in a survey wanted to increase affirmative action, and virtually all agreed that it should at least be kept as is. the paper is quite dated but the views expressed contributed to my strong dislike of affirmative action. i’ll try and find it later.
So you extrapolate from a paper involving four black scholars that the majority of African Americans in the US support affirmative action?
Perhaps this is more relevant: https://www.pewresearch.org/fa…-ethnicity-in-admissions/
62% of black people disagree with affirmative action. 20% think it should be a minor factor. -
it’s an excuse for democrats and their counterparts to use racism as a way to become more electable to their demographics (which is the majority of african americans)
Do the majority of Democratic, black voters support this policy? Or for that matter: do the majority of Democrat-voters support this policy?
-
How do you reckon the issue of most minority communities being vastly more poor than white should be handled? E.g. years after slavery has ended the black community is still way behind.
This policy is a direct way of rectifying this whether you agree with it or not morally.

Don't we have dozens upon dozens of "TF Wiki" lying around?

Dust is one of the most annoying things I've ever had to deal with, barring TFM
You can use a shop vac to get rid of dust, though it might suck off some of the capacitors in the process
Either your shop vac suxx hard or the manufacturer did a shit soldering job if this is a potential risk.

This is thé perfect example of a strawman
QuoteThe gender paygap certainly exists. To say it's been "debunked" is misleading.
QuoteExcept I would argue that the allegations against Kavanaugh certainly had merit. And Heard V. Depp showed that - seemingly - false allegations against a man are, to put it lightly: frowned upon. I believe I even argued with you on this matter in another thread.
QuoteWomen are roughly three times more likely to attempt suicide, though men are two to four times more likely to die by suicide. Compared to men, women show higher rates of suicidal thinking, non-fatal suicidal behavior, and suicide attempts.
QuoteNobody is forcing men to take these jobs. Some believe that good pay is worth more risk, or men are just dumb fucks at times.
QuoteI've never personally felt the urge to use my car keys as a make-shift weapon, when I'm walking down the street at night, and some guy is walking behind me.
QuoteYou've literally just done the same in this exact post:

↩ @'Ryan' The reality is we don’t know if the numbers are verified or not or what numbers came from where.
The article literally links to the studies. Yes we know where the numbers come from. I already noted hypocrisy in claiming that Abort73 is "biased" because it has an agenda to ban abortion, when Guttmacher and other sources linked in this thread are literally the exact opposite agenda: pushing reproductive rights for women.
-
Take your head out of your rear and read his link instead of crying "biased!", and then you'd know that said "biased link" sources its numbers from Guttmacher and the CDC.
Any source will have agendas, but that shouldn't matter as long as their numbers aren't manipulated.The 0.5 percentage of abortions with rape as the main factor comes from a survey of 1209 women performed by the Guttmacher institute. This is noted on the Abort73 page:
QuoteIn 2004, the Guttmacher Institute anonymously surveyed 1,209 post-abortive women from nine different abortion clinics across the country. Of the women surveyed, 957 provided a main reason for having an abortion. This table lists each reason and the percentage of respondents who chose it.
They also provide another number from Florida only:
QuoteThe state of Florida records a reason for every abortion that occurs within its borders each year. In 2020, there were 74,868 abortions in Florida. This table lists each reason and the percentage of abortions that occurred because of it. [0.15% of the woman were raped]
(https://ahca.myflorida.com/MCH…rimesterByReason_2018.pdf
From a quick Google Search shows that similar numbers can also be found from a USA TODAY article:
QuoteJust 1% of women obtain an abortion because they became pregnant through rape, and less than 0.5% do so because of incest, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Yet the battle over exceptions for both has garnered outsized attention in the national abortion debate.

Engage in honest conversation instead of merely tossing the entirety of the other party's argument aside because "Bad source!".
