It's hilarious. Anyway, point of my two links I posted on this topic today is it looks like despite the collective tantrum and echo chambering we are seeing in here from a handful of dedicated reactionaries and a couple of impressionable followers, it's gaining momentum in the real world. Oh. And I'm not really concerned by people changing my SPI naming convention in any designs I do.... Chances are, if a couple of letters in a simple and standard serial comms convention are enough to throw you off your game that you can't work without changing it, well, there'll be other things that need rework in your "finished" job, and I'll change it back again while I'm fixing those mistakes anyway. --- End quote --- This is no echo chamber. Others who share your view have posted here. It's just the majority on this forum, including those from countries with mostly non-white populations and I dare say most engineers, dissagree with you. Stop making unfounded presumptions. Like many others here, I'm no conservative. I agree with gay marriage, equal rights for minorities and that governments should be tough on those who dodge tax. I support strict gun laws, universal healtcare and good education for all. I'm against the word police, like you. It's not about left vs right, but free vs censorship. --- End quote --- Dude. How do I soar? PM me. --- End quote --- What do you mean? If you want to discuss this with me, do so on the forum, rather than PM. |

--- Quote from: Simon on July 21, 2020, 03:53:21 pm ---A work colleague got me to do a questionnaire that I think was on the Guardian website. He was amazed when I scored just left of the middle, it was some 4 quadrant thing with different figures of political past for each. --- End quote --- That sounds like the political compass test I'm talking about. https://www.politicalcompass.org/ I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems to have become the defacto standard. |

--- Quote from: davep238 on July 21, 2020, 04:07:00 pm ---So does this mean that we can no longer have black wires, and red and *black* playing cards? What about black chess pieces? Will we be allowed to say that there are stars in a black sky? Will "black level" need to be removed from TV specs? Where does this end? :palm: --- End quote --- It doesn't end. Yes, chess is racist apparently. The "debate" made our national TV morning show here in Australia. https://www.news.com.au/sport/more-sports/abc-is-chess-racist-debate-garry-kasparov-slams-broadcaster/news-story/bf497773690718a9cfca1b2746e3e7b5 |

The world is getting stupid, beyond stupid, simply ignorant and unintelligent. Who wants to go in and buy part share in an island somewhere? The intelligent and those who can contribute meaningfully to a society need only apply. ;-) |
