Krispy Kareem posted:Don't Mosques have call to prayers over loudspeakers? Might be annoying 5 times a day in a residential area. I realize churches have bells, but that's not really the same thing. I think they are supposed to, but the one near my home doesn't. Could be a common practice in Muslim minority areas.

He doesn't though, he just doesn't eat or drink alcohol alone with other women. Dude had a female Lt. Governor, pretty sure he met with her one or two times.

Bombadilillo posted:He wasn't the creeper. Creeper was some rando. He saw her publicly explaining to the mass off autistics that are the atheist community how not to scare women and decided to drop in his 2 cents. Which was again " middle Eastern women have it worse shut up." Dude injected himself into the situation. It was the craziest loving thing, because it started with her not even naming the guy who did it, and saying "hey if you want more women then don't hit on women in elevators after they just said they don't like getting hit on at conventions" and then it turned into a several month long blood-feud.

Customers always think they are clever when they say their name is "Remove Harper" or "I'm Gay" or calling her that "Jap lady" when she had a flag of Thailand on her aporn. If it wasn't for the gym and brazilian jiu jitsu, I am pretty sure she would have murder a customer before she left. I'm an idiot, what does the bold one mean?

RatHat posted:Isn't that point pretty valid? Or did internet companies get greedier over the years or something? The FCC was more or less enforcing NN until 2014. They got sued over it and the court said they couldn't impose those regulations without declaring that broadband providers were common carriers. In 2015 the FCC said, "fine, broadband providers are now common carriers." Which his how Net Neutrality has been maintained until now. So Cruz is technically correct that the FCC is only reversing a two year old policy. But it's a policy that only needed to exist as of 2014.

timefly posted:But what is the law, he says it's unique in how it compels you to use certain words or you can be prosecuted? Or maybe not everyone but maybe JP qualifies? I don't know, I looked it up the first time he mentioned it and it was obvious it wasnt likely to ever be applied but I don't remember now He's talking about the Canadian Human Rights Act, specially the combination of adding "gender identity or expression" to the list of protected categories and the Act's anti-harassment language. The question is whether repeatedly misgendering a trans person is harassment, and the answer is probably yes. So yes Peterson (or any other professor) could potentially face a fine for repeatedly misgendering a student. This isn't unique, in that you'd probably face similar sanctions for e.g. repeatedly calling a Wiccan student a heathen. But it's more live because it's harder to talk around or ignore someone's gender identity than their religion.

Arivia posted:The big criticism of Stan Lee is that he didn't give other people credit for working on things with him, especially notably Jack Kirby. Some people call it stealing, some people call it misattribution, but Lee didn't give others the credit they were due for sure. Note that that was a big problem in comics in general - Gil Kane only recently was officially noted as one of the creators of Batman, for example. It's not quite that. Stan always gave credit to people who worked on the comics. And marvel was the first place to publicly credit the artists, letterers, etc on the comic page. What he didn't do was share/give credit for creating the comics in the first place. Lee was the face of Marvel comics, and was happy to claim that he invented Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four and others, when that (depending on who you ask) was either completely or partially false.

zoux posted:"Emotional labor" is loving spoon theory, change my mind "Emotional labor" both in it's original sense of, "paid work where part of your job is performing certain emotions e.g. serving" and it's new internet sense of, "doing anything that requires emotion effort" is distinct from spoon theory. Because spoon theory is about how all kinds of traditionally low-effort tasks (both physical and emotional) can become a drain on the reduced capacity of a person with a disability. "Emotional labor" is about highlighting how certain tasks are (in fact) work for everyone. What they share is that they can both be abused to justify being an rear end in a top hat, but that's true of basically everything on the internet. Also, I don't actually think the message in her twitter thread is wrong, it's just she uses so much professional/therapeutic language it makes her sound like a frigging pod person.

If you reached out to someone and got, "Sorry man, I'm [slammed with work/my wife needs me right now/I'm in a lovely place myself right now] can we talk tomorrow?" that wouldn't be so bad right? And for all I know she's using appropriate language for whatever weirdass bluecheck subculture she's in.
