Good on her for standing against the Silicon Valley doom hype machine.
huh didn’t know she was this good looking. Also, fair points.
Do you qualify all women you meet this way or only those involved in your interests?
Whats wrong with saying someone is good looking?
It implies that that's a quality you should be judging people on, even if their looks have no bearing on the situation.
Of all the things or even subjects you could have made a comment on in this thread, you left one on the looks of a woman.
She doesn't need your validation. Other Lemmy users don't need your opinion on who's attractive. It's meaningless and detracts from the conversation.
It implies that that’s a quality you should be judging people on, even if their looks have no bearing on the situation.
That certainly shouldn't be how it is, but there's a lot of evidence to support that it is how it is. Just because we don't like it being that way doesn't mean it doesn't impact people's perceptions.

To quote Eddie Izzard from her special Dress to Kill:
I don't disagree that it was kind of pointless to bring up, but just saying... it's a thing.
That’s taking my comment waaayyy to serieus
