Thats why I liked the metal Tonka truck. When I was 5 or so me and another kid had a tug of war with one, we both wanted it, one time when he tried to yank it away from me I pushed it. A little water washed the blood right off it good as new.

Say - anyone know if TWTR stake holders have accepted the Board's recommendation to go through with the offer yet?
Liberals aren’t leaving in large numbers, at least on the platform, but the workers may if Elon doesn’t give them the latitude for their wokeness.
Hate to break it to you, but there aren’t thousands of conservative coders waiting to go work for Twitter, the folks that can do the hard work of keeping a site like that up and running make crazy $$$, skew very liberal, and are rare talent. If the best end up leaving then Twitter will slowly rust. We’ve seen it on countless other platforms.
Nothing is bringing back 2016 Twitter, glad we got to experience it.

Coders are known to be a very sexist misogynistic group as a whole. Glad you recognize the fact they are also liberals.

They may be leaving... for now! But rest assured, they will be back! If there is one thing to be learned from social media it is that people are addicts. They may leave for a spell but they ALWAYS come back for their fix.

The numbers are shifting because Twitter is cleaning up the depression of Conservatives and Uplifting Leftists

Silicon Valley’s sexist brogrammer culture is locking women out of tech
Silicon Valley has become a frat house where drinking and womanising are suitable pastimes for young tech luminaires, but the industry is suffering from this lack of diversity

Sexism in the Software Industry Makes It Difficult for Female Programmers
Employers and interviewers never treat us the same. Neither do colleagues
Wait, so sexists are conservative? Is big tech dominantly considered a conservative industry?These liberal coders?

It's really more of a question, why do those that consider themselves woke and the party of women treat women in the workplace so badly that they don't want to be part of (or are being kept from) that workplace?Wait, so sexists are conservative? Is big tech dominantly considered a conservative industry?

Maybe those woke work places need a shake up. Maybe women will be treated more fairly in a less leftist atmosphere.
Oh come on, you know better. Fewer women study computer science, so they don’t have the skill/desire to enter on the technical side of big tech.
You think it was an easier environment for women in the 60s? That’s when they had the highest proportion.
Or maybe you don’t know better and don’t realize the industry was much more balanced decades ago? Read up on Grace Hopper.

But this was not the original topic, the point I was making is the young adults coming out of college now are more woke than ever, they are the talent big tech hires. A bunch of 50yr old programmers are spending their days coding at a defense contractor, not Twitter.

So why you think "women just aren't interested" anymore?
I think it's because the way the neck beards treat them.

No, but wasnt really my point. I do believe women should be treated fairly and not harassed at work, obviously a more liberal view than a fair number of the actual programmers.
My point was the programmers may vote democrat and be "progressive", but when it comes to practicing they really arent. Musk isnt a conservative, he has his own belief set and sticks to it pretty well. He wont have a problem finding people that want to make money, everything he has touched has turned to gold.
