13 year olds weren’t allowed on the server

that’s not a flavor

More security guards should moonwalk like that, it’s cool.

her screen name is “Iron Maiden 14”

this is what the fidel castro meme is about.

I have the second comment in the clipboard but you beat me to it.

Somewhat agree. every day he lives is another day he could have some sort of consequence to himself. I don’t care who does it, the ICC or some sort of other initiative.

Dear Santa please can I have one ho ho ho

Its OK in sports bars or other places where people gather for such purpose because it fights atomization by encouraging collectivized entertainment.

And if workers are able to get away with watching TV on company time, that is fine too. Then use their other hours to live life.

I doubt the math works out.

I couldn’t find a great image to show situation that almost brought me to a crisis while trying to conduct some simple business the other day. But in past times, there would have just been a wall there with nothing on it. Even in heading pic, a poster isn’t needed at all and if they didn’t have the screens available they’d probably just decorate in different ways.

He should be jailed for the mere idea of owning a media company while holding office.

But that is hardly any money. Probably like 1% of the total racket.

Maybe if enough of them vote for Steal Musk a very fun committee could be struck.

High profile kidnappings are under appreciated in modern times.

Everyone is wearing black except for one guy in pink.

Did he just give his lecture or what though?

Can we assign them to follow cops?

But will they have a GTA VI lounge?

Beyond “F*ck You”: An organizer’s approach to confronting hateful language at work

Beyond F*ck You 2: workplace organizing against oppressive language and behavior

After a period of waiting for the right moment–excruciating in itself–I found myself clocking out when I overheard S., the worst offender, laughingly yell over at another worker: “Mike, you’re such a fuckingremovedot!” Truth be told, I actually got along pretty well with S.; he was a nice guy, good sense of humor other than the fucked up stuff like that, we joked frequently about how unrealistic the expectations were of us and how obnoxious some of our bosses were. I walked up to him, and asked, “Hey S., can you do me a favor?” “Yeah, man, what’s up?” “Can you cut it out with the gay jokes? I really don’t like hearing that shit.”

There was a pause. “What, like about you? Because I don’t think I said anything about you–” “Nah, not about me, just in general. I just don’t like hearing that, so I’d really appreciate it if you could knock it off. I gotta run to catch my bus, but if you wanna talk about it more some time, I’d be happy to.” S.’s look of concern and confusion turned to a nod, “OK, man, not a problem. Sorry if I pissed you off or anything.” And that was that.

The results were quick and effective. With S. removed from the picture, the homophobic banter went from something that happened multiple times per day to a few isolated incidents. When those comments did crop up, I took the exact same attitude, with the same results. One day at break, S. was talking about shopping at a health-food store where his girlfriend works: “I mean, it’s good food, but whenever I’m checking out, I’m like, oh man, I feel like such a… a…” He stopped and looked at me with a sort of deer-in-headlights look on his face. I piped in, “like a fuckin’ hippy?” He cracked up, “Yeah man, like a fucking hippy. Shit, I’m turning into a hippy.” The rest of the day was a series of jokes about what kind of incense we should get him for his birthday.

Not only easier but more correct. The idea its OK to say slurs only when out of earshot of the target group creates a dynamic where “we” can only relax and say “what we really think” when “they” aren’t around. It tends to incentivise cliquish social arrangements based on apparent membership in dominant groups.

For some people it might be all you can get but oftentimes if given a chance people can rise to improve themselves.

Are you sure the self harm was not due to being a treacherous rube? It’s humiliating. no matter the details.

They had sex in the dark.

In history, there have been cases of both trans women and men who had het sexual relationships where they were perceived as cis, even without the benefit of any kind of surgical (or even hormonal) treatments. People got married, lived together and everything for years. Prior to much medical procedures being available, I think it was easier for men. Sometimes outed if they were ill, injured, died, arrested or otherwise had to undergo unavoidable exam or nudity.

Of course you think that maybe the partners knew and were accepting but discrete. According to witnesses, sometimes they did appear to be legitimately shocked and upset at the discovery. Even that is difficult to be for sure, because the consequences both social and legal would have strongly incentivized giving the impression that you were an unknowing victim of deceit.

Not all languages have gendered pronouns in the same way, and I’m not clear to me if Chinese does. When they are available, their use as a signifier of true gender identity is not universal, nor is the idea of a true gender identity in the first place. The delineation between homosexual and trans is quite novel.

This person’s pronouns were she/her when on the job in france, and probably none or he/him at home in China. But it’s impossible to really assign identities retroactively to historical figures. Speculation difficult to avoid.

That’s not how everyone has always thought about things.
