Ironically, a lot of anti-trans activists I see, mostly from the LGB or feminist side, are totally fine with stuff such as this: https://twitter.com/jamescantorphd/status/720642092159135745 (don't do a pedophile derail on that tweet, thanks) I know of at least one convicted child rapist who was currying favour with TERFs. Who has now started to denounce the apparently pro-pedophile trans movement. TinTower has a new favorite as of 17:50 on Apr 18, 2016 |

I mean, believe whatever you want, make the argument about "treatment vs. punishment" for pedophiles, but is that REALLY the hill you wanna die on? Like, uhh, you know your real name is attached to your Twitter account, right?

Like, uhh, you know your real name is attached to your Twitter account, right? Are you starting to see the real reason sodomy has been a crime in the other times? When a woman was legally allowed to give her consent forever if she so chose? Rather than being nannied by a totalitarian government? No reason that kind of thing can't be prosecuted under battery for causing bodily harm. Me loving my wife does not cause her harm. And if we're married? Then she consented to sex with me. But marriage doesn't exist anymore and so instead our broken society is stuck trying to argue about what consent even means anymore. And everything is rape because we don't allow women the right to give me her consent through marriage.

Stoatbringer posted:If you force your wife into sex while she tries to flee, wouldn't that sex cause bodily harm? That would be illegal imprisonment. Why is it so hard for people to imagine that women should be allowed to consent for life? Or for the life of the marriage? I mean you realize that we've got all kinds of laws in place from the other times. Doesn't it strike you as utterly absurd the level that feminists have pushed the government into our relationships? Nobody else is going to see this though and you are clearly not capable of discussing anything in good faith so good day to you.

Stoatbringer posted:"Fresh'n it up" really annoys me. Same. No amount of space written or oral is saved by that apostrophe. If they wanted to do some slang and/or save space, it would've made more sense to say "Fresh' it up" but that just looks weird. The phrase in any form is dumb anyway, but "Slap some wilted vegetable matter on it to give it a veneer of nutrition" is too wordy and honest.

Fashionable Jorts posted:They're already installing those in local McDonalds, and I really doubt they've replaced a single worker. They will still need people to you know, cook the food and hand it to you. Not to mention that the majority of people who eat at McDonalds could never figure out how to use a touch interface meal selector, so they still need cashiers to take orders manually. On top of that, if they ever did replace all workers with touch screens, all it'd take is one moron with a pen to shut down a whole mcdonalds for a day.

I witnessed an IOSM in real life this weekend while skydiving. I don't know if the guy forgot I was the only woman on the plane (it's a small Cessna so we have a long ascent and we talk about random poo poo on the way up), or if he didn't think I'd care but he was bitching about the reboot of Ghostbusters, and his first complaint was about the all-female cast. I piped up "oh no, a movie with GIRLS?! No women allowed in our treehouse!" He backpedaled pretty quickly and insisted he was bummed because it could never be as good as the original and wouldn't match the subtle humor of Bill Murray. He's an otherwise cool guy and gave me a high-five for my retort, so I'll let it slide, but I'm glad I spoke up. If I had let it go without saying anything, he might think I agree with him.

Some of us like this country you know. But because some of us are also loving idiots on normal media I figured I'd share this as I have a feeling people outside Australia/Lebanon may not have heard of it: http://www.news.com.au/entertainmen...1b5185fc3bb62a5 tl;dr Australian news corp pays for children to be abducted in broad daylight by organisation of questionable legality in order to "return them to their beloved Australian mother" and also film it. poo poo didn't work out after failed abduction and now 4 member news crew and "beloved Australian mother" facing up to 20 years in jail for attempted kidnapping in Beirut

First of all, that theory is as old as the movie itself, at least it feels like it. Secondly: stop blowing things out of proportion. And stop the "these movies are all linked!" things while you're at it. Your precious Tarantino movies won't get any better just because people have found obscure eastereggs suggesting a shared universe.

Shared universe theories can be a lot of fun when you're trying to spot the relations or references to other films. It doesn't make each individual film better but it's fun as its own thing. They do get annoying when people are desperate to prove they must be a shared universe though e.g. Pixar. Most of them are boring 'coma' or 'dead since halfway through' variety stuff but fun stuff like Jar Jar being Sith can be a dumb enjoyable read.

Silly Newbie posted:I was reading somewhere that staff levels have stayed the same at restaurants with computer ordering, but customer satisfaction is way up, since now they pay all those people to check up on customers and make sure everything is good, and fix it if it's not. Turns out that letting a computer do work a computer can frees your people to do customer service that requires a personal touch and makes the customers much happier. People level their guns at retail stores for automated checkouts, too. "They put in them machines and took the jobs of six Amurricans!" No, you idiot--before they installed the self-checks, there were three employees working registers during non-peak times. Now, there are six machines checking people out, two employees running registers, and one watching the machines. How is this a bad thing? They've got the same number of employees working but can now process a shitton more transactions in an hour!

Jewel-Osco got rid of self checkouts in the city because so many people were stealing from them. Instead they still employ the same number of people and I just have to wait in line longer to have to interact with a human when I buy ice cream at 10pm in sweat pants.

Quite a few places around here only have one cashier during off-peak hours, who has to run the self-checkout, and keep an eye on the normal checkouts for customers who want to do that. I kinda feel bad for them.

I cannot tell you how many times I've seen someone choose a self-checkout lane because it had a shorter line, put as much of their poo poo on the belt/platform that they can, and then immediately start pressing the Help button. Why? Because they want an employee to scan and bag everything for them.
