11/04 - Scooping up Saturday!

that's okay, we're drunk too! lol

 

he tore down his right to live.

 

I think you mean forfeited there.

 

I have a very harsh stance on people who abuse women, men, kids and animals.... physically, emotionally or sexually

 

damn auto-correct, good catch thanks

 

This kind of "women/tech" shitfest discussion comes up all the time in my programming groups on Facebook - some sort of rant about women in computer programming, and how there's supposedly not that many female programmers because they're "discouraged by society", or whatever.

I tell people that by the time you find a woman who is actually genuinely interested in computer programming, her gift for the field is indistinguishable from a man's.

The biggest "issue" industry-wide is interest. A lot of women simply just aren't that interested in it - even with free tuition, grant money, scholarship programs, etc., being thrown at them to join in. And from the women in the programming groups, many frequently bring up that the men around them only ever really "encouraged" them to write code.

 

meant forfeited... auto correct killed me

 

Might try this out. Yummier than I was even thinking. That's cream cheese frosting.

 

In court, after a changed name and 2+ years of court. He still came after me again of course, but I got a sweet AF check out of it. My lawyer said he deeply enjoyed seeing the vast change in the two of us over 2 years of court. My ex gained another 60 pounds, went totally bald, went back to living with his parents. I got a new place, lost 10 pounds, dyed my hair red and decided I was too cool for that bullshit anymore.


There's a reason Birdie goes by Birdie.

 

and to the substance of your post, lol, i can't say i'm not fascinated with it. every heritage came from a different set of obstacles. human evolution is super complex and wayyyy interesting.

 

I wonder whether this is a direct result of the eye color, or whether it's the result of genetic tendencies in the DNA pools of people who have certain eye colors.

 

Yet, the first computer programmer, much less a woman programmer, Ada Lovelace is often forgotten.

 

I've always been interested in psychology, and I always had a lot of reading material for the topic when I was a kid since my dad has a Masters' in the field.

But I really doubled down in it when I got into marketing, since it's essentially the most direct application of applied psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy.

I like to surf Wikipedia and wind up somehow on the beaches of PubMed.

 

It took until last year for Margaret Hamilton, arguably one of the greatest coders ever, to receive recognition from the president even though she was as integral in putting a man on the moon as Paul Van Allen.

 

i don't think the eye color would have dictated this, rather, evolution would have done what it does best; people with lighter eyes wouldve been had more of an advantage in lower light conditions and people with darker eyes have better reaction times, because equatorial regions are fucking brutal.

 

I've gotta say, I was never all that interested in history.

I haven't forgotten her - I just don't really know anyone born before 1950.

 

My dad had to go to the school board because my guidance counselor refused to sign me up for an advanced tech class. The tech teacher adored me and was happy for me to take it, he loved teaching ladies how to fix things for themselves and whatnot. My guidance counselor REFUSED to sign me up for no other reason than the fact I liked to wear a dress and had giant hooters. I mean, this was the reason he gave the school board- that I was tiny and female and should be focusing on other things.

People should get the chance to be who they want to be, or explore things they may or may not end up enjoying. I like to weld and wear a sundress, I can do both lol. I think we can't discount how people are spoken to on both sides of the issue. I know guys who were terrified to take a tap dance class or some shit, because they were told not to by their dad, and being a female pilot is a FUCKING NIGHTMARE. I have a pilot's license, am engaged to a very succesful av engineer, and I still get talked down to and hit on by rando dudes at fly ins. People literally think I don't understand how a plane flies, because I wear a dress and refuse to dress in cargo pants. They talk down to me so much it horrifies Matt. People call me sweetie and hug me against my will, all the while assuming I'm too dumb to even know the history of the plane I'm flying.

I was raised by a single dad and I'm 100% sure that had everything to do with who I am today. He let me work on the house with him AND bake as much as I wanted to. I mean, he was also horribly, terribly sexist and told me I could never be as good as a man because women were lesser, but that I simply had to try harder.

That's another topic entirely though.

Also, the eye color and reflex thing is tied to melanin levels. Melanin is an insultator for connections in the brain and sht. I'm honestly too tipsy to explain it well.

I'm sure it's a bunch of things, because the human body and it's workings are so rarely simple , but part of it is likely just how the body works.

People are so incredibly complex, I think it's impossible to boil it down to some if A, then B scenario.

 

enjoy TH, i'm off for the night.

 

What I'm getting at is that a DNA expression could cause, say, an overabundance of a given hormone.

That hormone abundance could then, in turn, improve reaction times as well as affect eye color (through different mechanisms).

So there would only be a casual correlation.

 

next time lol, <3
