limp_cheese posted:Mullets are definitely coming back as a style. My sister's husband started growing one to mimic Aaron Rodgers, which means he isn't he only one. Its loving baffling but here we are. Thinkpieces about tiktok teens have informed me that they're called 'wolf cuts' now and for the full experience you have to film yourself putting your hair into a ponytail so high it's almost at your forehead and then cutting it off. Ideally what you end up with is sort of a shaggy thing with bangs but I know what a mullet looks like and will not be fooled.

Scaevolus posted:Maybe it's my academic/scientific background where even uncited self-plagiarism is a Big Deal, but the idea of copying someone else's work, rewording it a bit, and labeling it as your own is incredibly lovely. It's a career ending mistake. It's not 'work', tho. Like yeah people would be pretty unanimously against her if she'd copied one of Dawn's stories but mining the poo poo people around you say and do for material is a pretty basic part of a writer's job description. Dialogue in fiction basically wouldn't exist (definitely not anything good) if writers were forbidden from riffing on stuff people actually said Verbatim copy-pasting someone's letter to take a big poo poo on them is definitely some high school bullying poo poo but Dawn's position that well maybe she might wanna turn that letter into a novel someday therefore it's the same thing as Sonya plagiarizing her novel is tenuous bordering on unhinged

pentyne posted:Calling yourself a hardcore Christian then playing a game with magic and demons is very much the "pick and choose" style of what religious rules you want to follow. The Messianic Jews that I have met have had no objection to D&D or magic cards or belief in sorcery, and it really sounds that that’s what we are dealing with. Also Protestants have a schism every time they can’t agree on what’s for dinner so your idea that extreme Protestants all have the same rules as beliefs is pretty unfounded.

She's just a person who had a super annoying and clingy co-worker that she would make fun of. Clingy annoying and clingy co-workers suck rear end and I absolutely poo poo talk annoying people with other people who know them. Especially when they are at their most annoying/clingy and grandiose.  .

I don't understand what religious dnd guy's problem even is. He explicitly says that he doesn't care about other's using god's name in vain, as long as he is free not to, and 'I need to refer to god but can't speak his name' is a problem that was solved centuries ago. He didn't need to try to dictate Ted's choices at all, he could have just said 'that's cool, but I choose not to say that name, so I'll be calling your character [whatever]'. Instead, OP decided to be petty and ruin the session by constantly breaking character. This did not need to be a big deal, which makes me suspect OP is not nearly as chill about his religion as he's trying to claim he is.

Collaborative play games are supposed to be a place of trust and mutual fun. If someone sincerely asked me to change something about my character because they weren't having fun due to it, the ONLY MORALLY CORRECT MOVE YOU R/ATHEIST DINGBATS is to change it because you're trying to have fun among your friends, not prove that the silly godbotherers are irrational. You dumb fuckers.

That's a bit different. Christian Zionism is into Israel because it ties into Revelations or something. Sees Jews as a means to an end (times). Messianic Judaism is different. Whether it's former Jews who converted but still wanted to keep their Jewish identity (because a cultural/ethnic religion is weird like that and isn't entirely based on "what you believe") or it's Christians trying to target Jews for conversion with something more palatable, it's actually a part of the religion's beliefs and practices. It's not just a field trip to Israel. Depending on the person I find this can come across as misguided weird cosplay or downright appropriative.

Like, what other reason would someone have had to make that 'joke' in the first place? That's some Straw Atheist level poo poo, so if it really happened, they have most likely in the past proven themselves extremely annoying on the religious front. Doesn't make poking them there right or good, but I sincerely doubt they are as easy-going about it as they claim.

I know I said this last time it came up but as someone with a bunch of facial scars she can go gently caress herself. That poo poo seriously fucks with your self esteem and self image so having someone discriminate against you because of your facial scars is extra hosed up. Kids being scared I can understand even though it still hurts but adults don't have an excuse.

after an employee died, her team has driven off anyone we hire to replace herquote:A year ago, someone I worked with (Jane) died. She was killed by an impaired driver while crossing the street after work. Some of her colleagues witnessed it. Jane worked here for almost a decade and was well-liked. (The company has an EAP and offered paid therapy services to anyone who needs it as well as fully paid bereavement and time off to attend the trial, no questions asked.) Jane was one of my reports (I manage her manager).
