Yeah, I talked about that before too somewhere on here. If they tell you to fudge, you fudge because standing up gets you axed.

I mean tbh, if it’s tech from San Fran they actually are super about inclusive. At least any devs I’ve met from there, as it’s sort of woven into the cultural tapestry of the West Coast as a whole (which is funny considering it has had some exceptionally racist policies in the past). I think more so people just don’t realize what might be a thing needed to run the gamut of diversity because the face of STEM itself is relatively one sided in America. Probably just the face of corporate America as a whole, if we were being honest.

Oh for sure, you’re most right! I mean we see it replicated over and over and over again in our society in so many spaces how would the ripples not continue onward into cybernetics. Something I often think about is if it’s not/hasn’t happened to you, you don’t even tend to think about it. And by it, I mean being oppressed in some manner pertaining specifically to something you cannot change. They’re also cannibalizing the middle class. So in the end you really probably will just have the “global” ruling class and the “indignant” and “ungrateful” others who they must charitably coexist with. But I also think it’s like…the concept behind Deus Ex/Snowpiercer (Idk too many SciFi things don’t come at me with pitchforks). So like, sci-fi writers got one up on us.

But I always figure, if you want to remember you’ve been bought and sold as a whole (no matter your class, ethnic background, or gender as long as you’re not the top dog) I always point towards Russell Means Welcome to the Reservation because he proposes that America as a whole is a reservation because just because you think you’re “free” doesn’t mean you actually are free.

Eh! The whole thing gets me sad.

Tech for sure has a race/gender/class issue in America. On a global scale, I can’t say much and I know that tech is global. I also know that Nigeria has a solid tech hub in Lagos. But also know that education in general in Nigeria is brutally competitive and very situationally based.

But to be honest, this has long since been an issue with technology. I know it was fluttered all over the net but people have long since known consumer cameras were made with a certain type of complexion in mind. But hilariously the first time I seen AI x racism talked was via Robin Thede (so a skit show) some odd years back. But capitalism gunna cap, and it’s crazy that people can’t just widen their test range if they’re not going to at least offer a seat at the table.

I don’t play this game, but my gal does like ten-fold. Well at least, she plays Odyssey. It’s one of her favorite games. She doesn’t like any of the other one’s that much. I got her the one with the Vikings, but she played it two seconds - had her family smashed then it time-skips and you’re smashing other people’s families? She didn’t dig that setup. She dipped her toes in the Egypt one, but just keeps going back to the Greek one (I am guessing it’s Greek - you know - by the title).

I get motion sick from 3D games, so I haven’t really watched her play them. But I did give it a go playing that one game where you’re a southern mixed gal of wealth freedom fighting for others. But I really don’t play these types of games as a whole, and I got to the swamp and got lost. Ended up returning it (especially because spinning the camera around to figure out how I got lost and where I could go was making me sick). But I did have my gal check it out and I guess the two systems are different and the one I was playing is the older system and she has little to no interest in playing it. Which is actually what I was trying to say in all of this. But also she likes that one Battlefield that everyone hates, so she might be in a super minority here. Eh.

Hahaha, I once wrote this whole take it to the streets thing for a buddy of mine. Cause he had the crazy idea of asking my ass to write him a monologue to do. Prompted some strong ass street justice, and definitely was not mixed-company appropriate (gays x straights). He did some monologue from that Radcliff play instead. Made me laugh my ass off. I love that man, what was he thinking =P!?

TAKE IT TO THE STREEETSSS HAHAHAHAHA!

It’s a protest. I mean pride itself is a protest for the rights of the LGBTQA+ So like…what!? When did we stop permitting a wide variety of opinions, ideas and expressions? So freakin’ bananers.
