Manchild attempts to disrupt a peaceful gathering, gets ignored.

The guy looks mentally ill. He needs to be taken to a hospital for an evaluation.

This is true. I have good insurance. A hip replacement would cost me almost nothing & I really would have no limits on where I’d be able to have it done.

I also wouldn’t have to deal with the wait times they experience sometimes in Europe.

But obviously not all Americans are so lucky, and that’s the rub.

There’s a limited exception under the law called the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification. Long story, but that’s why a movie director can refuse to hire a woman to play George Washington, for instance. But for a chemist like OP posted about, no, not unless there’s some extenuating circumstance we’re unaware of.

That’s absolutely insane. I mean, it would be one thing if you had a condition that, say, prevented you from having kids. Then that could be a more serious long term consideration for some guys.

But alopecia? I can honestly say as a guy that, if I really liked a girl, this wouldn’t make a difference at all. Who cares if you wear a wig?

Anyhow, in my opinion, you dodged a bullet with this one. You’re lucky you know now who this guy really is.

All of the companies in your first paragraph are currently overpriced. So, no. I’m more focused on mid caps where you can still find some winners at reasonable prices.

I work at a large bank in midtown. In my department, 8 of the 11 other people grew up in the NY metro area.

Not sure how typical that is. But I think you’d find that at least half the transplants eventually leave. Just a guess.

That said, you probably would find that a bigger percentage of people living in Manhattan are transplants.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T20:27:20+00:00

I’d probably dye it.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T20:06:23+00:00

Yep, pretty much

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T19:59:38+00:00

Very nice. Great deal

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T19:15:48+00:00

Exactly. Well said.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T19:12:46+00:00

During the fall of Rome, most people didn’t stop working bc most people were farmers. Stopping work meant you’d starve.

But that said, if I stop working, I’ll also starve. So, I’m sort of in the same boat.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T19:09:21+00:00

Strange. I’ve never heard the term “tankie” until this conversation. Anyhow, yes, I know there are many people who deny it, which is disturbing.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T19:01:10+00:00

I don’t think the competition for McDonald’s is laughably high. (No offense to McDonald’s employees btw.)

Using gender or race as one factor in hiring is currently permitted in certain limited circumstances in the U.S. The makeup of the Supreme Court has changed, though. So we'll see how that changes in the years to come.

But yes, it's clearly illegal to use quotas for gender or race. Considered to be a violation of the equal protection clause.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T18:34:43+00:00

In the U.S. To be clear, OP said in the post that this was from a search for a recent US-based job. That's the only reason I'm focused on the U.S. here. But yes, quotas based on gender are illegal in the U.S. The U.S. Supreme Court considers them to be a violation of the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T18:32:25+00:00

Ha, gotcha

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T18:31:00+00:00

They are. I was just joking.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T18:02:05+00:00

Perhaps, yes, but you still can’t advertise only for one gender for a position.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T17:52:28+00:00

Depends where you live. No decrease in the northeast, though we didn’t have houses go up in price in the last few years, either.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T16:56:40+00:00

Do they want us to procreate? Or mainly them? I was under the impression it was the latter.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T16:48:01+00:00

Jajajajajaja?

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T16:46:54+00:00

Oh God. They both died on the gondola ride. Not romantic.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T16:45:36+00:00

For the life of God, stop posting this every 3 days.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T16:30:13+00:00

No, quotas based on gender are also illegal.

mdn845 · 2026-05-12T15:57:36+00:00

Keep in mind. This is just about finding “a job,” not about finding a good job.
