Throw dirt on it ya pussy!
:lol:

No kidding. My kids were shocked when I told them about what my 3rd grade Gym teacher said back in the day. He was showing us how to climb the rope, the one that went all the way to the ceiling with only a one inch pad underneath it, and he kicked me right in the eye trying to demonstrate he could climb without using his legs.

After he kicked me, I covered my eye out of reflex and he says, "don't be a pussy and cry!". :lol: I had two older brothers, there was no way I was crying.
Yep. Kids now a days are such pussies compared to those of us growing up in the 80s.

Not knowing the details I would say that it failed due to mismanagement more than a focus on ESG. You can debate whether ESG is good business but it is possible to be well managed and have an ESG focus.

And the irony of a man whose companies have declared bankruptcy 6 times criticizing another organization's business practices. :lol:

See https://www.politifact.com/article/2023 ... -rewritte/. There is a possibility that it was due to deregulation. There is no possibility that it was due to "wokeness."

Side note...a while back I found a paper on sci-hub that claimed that banks that coupled diverse leadership with a certain type of management style performed better. When I downloaded it and looked at their results management diversity actually had a significantly negative effect on the performance of the bank and those management styles just negated some of the negative effects. Of course they and the publishers are social scientists and didn't know how to interpret the interaction term and don't understand concepts like gradient vectors so they went with it.

We all know these banks act completely recklessly and irresponsibly, but if it's really a matter of them not taking into account rising interest rates it seems to me like there's some incompetence involved even if their board is a bunch of white guys.

He’s right. I’m a commie/pro lgbtq lefty and my own sons think I’m pretty much a troglodyte. :)


- Your children will be undereducated and ill-prepared for the world if you hide reality from them.
- Your children will be hateful people who are at a disadvantage if you teach them that differences are bad.
- Your children will view you, when adults, as a likely bigot and hold you accountable.

I know a million right-wing, toxically masculine, nuts will reply to this post attacking me, a straight male, for supporting these TWO women. Guess what!Your attacks prove my point.

No, actually turns out they are dumber..
A recent study suggests that, for the first time in nearly 100 years, Americans’ average IQ is declining, a trend that the study's authors theorize could result from the quality of education.

The authors write that 'the greatest differences in annual scores were observed for 18- to 22-year-olds.'

…The study, published in a spring 2023 edition of Intelligence, measures IQ test results among 18- to 60-year-olds…

Biologically? No, Dylan isn't a woman. Psychologically? How do you know what or who Dylan is or isn't?

It might scare you but life isn't as binary you want it to be.

How does Dylan identifying as a woman hurt me or anyone close to me? It doesn't so I hope that Dylan finds who they are and is happy. No skin off my back and no reason to be a snowflake and get worked up over it.

Simply referring to a man as a man isn’t getting worked up over it. Why would you care if someone refers to a man as a man? Sounds like you’re the snowflake getting worked up over it. :nod:
