hawowanlawow posted:no like it's really too late to stop climate change, this is it boys It's not a single threshold, where we either have an apocalypse or don't. There's a long, long scale of how badly life is disrupted, how many people die, what kinds of societies are left standing. Every step along that scale matters immensely. There's no point where giving up makes sense, even if perfectly saving everything is no longer possible. We absolutely needed to massively curtail emissions decades ago (on a scale that hits large international businesses with laws, not penny-pinching consumer-level poo poo), but it's still better to do so two years from now than it is to not do it at all. Every year of inaction, things get worse for the future of humanity, and they can keep getting even worse.

Ashley Madison extortionquote:I am one of the people whose data was stolen and published in the Ashley Madison hack. The other day I got a text message saying that someone had reported me to a website of “known cheaters”. There was a link, which led to a profile page with my name and a photo, and headline that said “[my name] cheated on his wife”. They also listed my phone number, two phone numbers for my wife (which were out of date), and a link to my wife’s Facebook page. It said that on Nov 28, the “evidence” would be texted to my wife. There was also a button to press if you were the wife, and wanted to get the evidence. Now that Nov 28 has past, the texting threat has been taken down, but the site is still up. There was a link explaining what to do if you wanted legal help getting the post taken down. There were two “reputation restoring” providers listed. The site explained they ONLY worked with these two providers. I assume the whole point is to extract my money. Overall there were something like 300 similar profiles of other people on the website. (I don’t know for sure that this is Ashley-Madison-hack-related, but the picture they posted looks like it was from that era, and probably one that I posted to the site, so that is my strong suspicion.) I am not worried about my wife finding out anything. She knows everything, and it’s history now. And frankly it doesn’t seem likely that anyone I know will stumble on it. Doesn’t show up when I google my name. But... I really do not like having this info on a public website, especially with a link to my wife’s Facebook. I have have no intention of giving these people my money. But is there any hope in reporting the website to someone and getting it taken down? Or is the threat of legal action plausibly useful? I would prefer not to hire an attorney, but I will consider doing so if it might help.

My (37m) wife (32f) started watching basketball and it makes me irrationally upsetquote:My wife and I met as coworkers over a decade ago. We quickly discovered we were huge nerds for a bunch of the same things, fell in love, and just celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary. We are both from mixed ethnic backgrounds, hers being African American and East Asian and mine being West Asian and North African, and never really identified with our ethnicities’ mainstream culture and this was something else we bonded over.

(NJ) I 100% don't believe that story, but I'm also sincerely curious what the legal answer to that would be. I lived in a coop during college that was clothing optional Honestly, even though we all knew about the policy and bragged about it (because it sounded cool), the only time it ever came up was when this guy decided he was going to see how long he could go around just being naked (he lasted about a week before he decided it was too weird). Pirate Radar posted:I sincerely wish this person well. There's a reason it is called a "monastic" vow. It's not really something you can do while also living an otherwise-normal life. Go find/make a monastery or try something else...

Pretty sure forcing an employee to be naked or to see you naked when it isn't a requirement for the job function is the easiest sexual harassment case ever conceived. The vow of silence person MAY have some rights if they can find a job that doesn't require speaking if it's for religious reasons? But i doubt it.

welcome to hell posted:Help. I don't recognize my (31m) fiancee (29f) after deployment for those who didn't google, SGB treatment involves injecting a local anaesthetic into a cluster of nerves in your spine which then block (among other things) adrenaline production caused by fear signals originating in the amygdala it was invented in 1925 and, imo, sounds about as ethical as lobotomization. it's a significant enough medical procedure, in an especially fragile part of your body, such that physicians are strongly advised to have intubation and resuscitation equipment on hand during administration. clinical studies do show some real results when treating patients diagnosed with severe anxiety and PTSD. this does not make it ethical to use as a "no fear" drug to be administered before sending already mentally ill people back into battle/EMT service/abusive homes/etc etc etc. those same clinical studies also show that it has about the same success rate as opiates, but opiates don't have the whole "accidentally puncture your carotid artery and/or collapse your esophagus" potential. also, we know that the amygdala does play a role in visual processing, especially facial recognition. studies have shown that people's ability to recognize pictures of animal faces exhibiting threatening or non-threatening visual cues are skewed in the test group beyond what is demonstrated in the control group. ECG mapping seems to indicate that the amygdala, like most of the brain, uses a hemispherical anatomy where one side processes "scary" faces and one side processes "not scary" faces. that dude could very well be hosed for life

The Chad Jihad posted:I'm sorry my eyes keep sliding off the screen please tell me everyone is calling him a moron Literally every single comment is, yes. PetraCore posted:The thing that's tripping me up is like, obviously mute people can and do work and get supported in jobs under disability protection (and should be!), could the dude make a similar case for himself under religious protection? But, I think there'd be less leeway for that, since they don't have a condition (physical or mental) preventing them from speaking. The only way I can see it working is if the job already doesn't involve speaking face to face. Even if he was mute for religious or medical reasons, being able to speak is a "bona fide occupational qualification", which gets around a lot of protective laws since, you know, people do need to be able to actually perform the job you're hiring them for.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Literally every single comment is, yes. Just like, you know, there's a lot of jobs where being able to see is important, but there's still work blind people do and some of it might surprise you! My point is people are more likely to give accommodation for a legitimate disability than a religious lifestyle choice that's as severe as a vow of silence, it's not like finding time in the day for a muslim employee to pray or something.

Vow of silence dude could get a job in IT. Hell, some of my best days at work involved no human interaction beyond email or some sort of chat/IM. The only trick would be the interview, and HR would probably have someone from Legal sitting in on the interview because there's a great potential for a really interesting lawsuit. And we've all had co-workers who we wish would take such a vow.

Oh, for sure, I wasn't saying "don't employ the mute", just that there's a big and established standard when it comes to certain requirements. There's a lot of jobs where quick and noticable communication is a requirement, but stuff like IT jobs and engineering and all that would be just fine.

Biplane posted:What the actual gently caress My old general foreman was like this. He once took it upon himself to change our double-shift rule. For a long time, if we worked double shifts, we'd just stay on the clock between shifts. It was normally 2 hours or less, and we would normally just work through it so we could get into double time. He told us we were no longer allowed to do that, and I ended up prodding him about where that concern was coming from. I asked if management had said anything, and he told me no. So I was like "why in the gently caress did we change something if nobody has told us to??" "We gotta save the company money!" Dude also straight-up would not order replacement parts for stuff or would hem and haw over things being too expensive. He wouldn't order hand wipes for the shop because: 1) they were "too expensive" (we later bought a case of like 10 tubs for $70 and have barely gone through two of them all year); 2) they weren't "meant for cleaning your hands." For the record, this was the front of the container:  Later we discovered the company thought he was just being really efficient/practical about ordering parts and were frequently giving him $200 steakhouse gift cards as a reward
