2017-12-18 21:14:55 UTC  

I mash enter when I hit the ' key

2017-12-18 21:15:33 UTC  

THAT ' S
even more stupid when you consider someone could actually just be yelling out 'Britain first' without them actually meaning to refer to a fringe political party

2017-12-18 21:22:44 UTC  

HMMM I WONDER WHAT % OF DETROIT IS BLACK

2017-12-18 21:23:03 UTC  

OH, 82.69%

and they elected a Black President to help them out

"The move was welcomed by those advocating for improved gender balance in the male-dominated top ranks of tech and VC firms. "This is a great way to have the private and public sector partnering to advance diversity," said Jodi Kovitz, founder of #movethedial, a Toronto organization dedicated to fixing the gender gap in Canadian tech."

2017-12-18 21:29:16 UTC  

I think, mr (((kovitz))) what you mean to say is, "This is a great way to have the public sector _force_ the private sector to advance an agenda that noone can prove has any positive effects on productivity."

2017-12-18 21:30:16 UTC  

it's effectively a $400 million diversity tax

2017-12-18 21:31:07 UTC  

except, I didn't include the salaries of the nutjobs they'll have to hire, or their potential negative effects on companies productivity

2017-12-18 21:45:00 UTC  

Wasnt the reason they did not test the kits because that wouldnt prove anything if the man argued it was consensual sex?

2017-12-18 21:52:00 UTC  

yes, and probably many other good reasons as well - it's like "we can just increase the rigorousness of our vetting process for immigrants, and then we can let in people from yemen"

2017-12-18 21:52:17 UTC  

a "rape kit" is not a magic unicorn, and neither is the "vetting process"

2017-12-18 21:53:06 UTC  

"They just closed cases, even cases where I think they believed the victim ... They closed cases because the women had worked as prostitutes or had mental illness issues or had substance abuse."

2017-12-18 21:53:43 UTC  

I mean, it's a blanket statement, but I don't doubt that it happened, and I also don't doubt that these police officers - at least in some of the cases - knew what they were doing

2017-12-18 21:53:49 UTC  

they're probably on a first-name basis with these hookers

2017-12-18 21:55:37 UTC  

not to mention if the rape kit gets done at the hospital and the women does not press charges

2017-12-18 21:56:05 UTC  

they are still required to keep the kit for some time but will not test unless charges are brought as i understand it

2017-12-18 21:56:54 UTC  

yeah, this is a very complex issue, but what I initially reacted to in the story is _not_ complicated

2017-12-18 21:56:59 UTC  

"One of the reasons we have these untested rape kits ... and I can use Detroit as an example, 86% of our victims in these untested kits are people of color. You're not going to find too many blond-haired, blue eyed white women ... Because their kits are treated differently, their cases are solved. That's just the way it is in this country."

2017-12-18 21:57:19 UTC  

in a city where the population is 83% black

2017-12-18 21:58:49 UTC  

seems a bit dumb

2017-12-18 22:00:20 UTC  

Do they write down on the kit if it came from a black vajayjay?

2017-12-18 22:01:11 UTC  

dude they can just read the names on the vials

>We started off with an 18-month pilot program with UPS. We knew that if you could track a package, when you order something online, you ought to be able to track a rape kit in your own state.

2017-12-18 22:05:06 UTC  

That sounds ingenious and stupid.

2017-12-18 22:07:51 UTC  

I mean, you shouldn't need UPS to provide you with a tracking system.

2017-12-18 22:08:23 UTC  

you put a bar code on it and scan it as it goes through the process <:think_hang:378717098903470080>

Regarding WordPress... you shouldn't run/operate any PHP-based system.

2017-12-18 22:12:07 UTC  

Specially WP, phpBB, and others that are well-known for being full of security holes.
