Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

Remember when the husband of the deputy director was caught billing the lab for the time he had spent enjoying the Santa Fe Opera? Remember all the ethics training you had to take in the aftermath?

Several other former employees and independent contractors of PodcastOne also say that Pattiz’s remarks about women’s bodies or looks sometimes made them uncomfortable. One woman, 23-year-old Ji Min Park, said she left the company in August after a year in large part because of too many sexually inappropriate comments.
At other times, Park said, Pattiz didn’t seem to understand that his remarks were offensive. He once joked that if he left his wife for her, she could have her name on a recording studio, she said.
He also told her in front of others that she looked like a schoolgirl and then said he’d watched “too many videos” featuring schoolgirls. She and others assumed he was talking about porn.
“Everyone was stunned, and I walked away,” Park said.
Some months ago, she said, he told her she was the “hottest Asian” he’d ever seen and said, “If I wasn’t married, I’d be chasing you down a hallway right now.“
Raymond Hernandez, who worked as a producer at PodcastOne for two years before he was laid off in July, said he frequently witnessed Pattiz making comments about women’s breasts and bodies. He said he was shocked when Pattiz walked up to employees several months ago and asked if anyone wanted to see revealing photos of a PodcastOne female executive on his phone.

Good to know.
Once Prince Charmingly starts warming up the charm he's as foolish a sight as a poor beast can be. An old one must be a laughingstock.
When I was courting, I often cringed at my own blundering foolishness. Fortunately my wife to be took mercy on me with some kind bemusement.
So the law's the law and potent chemistry, the Bolt, can enfoolish the most sober victim.
I don't recall ever asking. And still friends with dozens I've nuzzled. You too?
