I still smoke some darts but not many these days. $40 is a lot of money so it makes it easy to just walk away and buy a videogame or a steak dinner. Also on that front people I used to work with that smoked a pack of 30 a day have all dropped to less than 10 just on the price. For rational actors the system works but they're still insanely addictive which is going to own people forever.

Who the gently caress was campaigning to change the name of Coon cheese lmao

The only reasonable argument for the change is the time that imbecile Courtney Barnett did Black Skinhead by Yeezy and changed the lyric "coon poo poo" to "coon cheese" while giggling like a child.

The procedures and policies were in place before this happened and they were issued to players some time ago. I'm sure organisers are making GBS threads their pants because they want the event to succeed and that players from other countries are surprised at how strict we are tho.

Alize Cornet seems like a nice girl who accidentally stirred a hornets' nest, so this is more about Melburnians, but it remains really weird to me that eight months of lockdown - while it did suck - is more easily characterised as "suffering" than, say, what happened in France, where 70,000 people are loving dead

Maybe 70,000 dead people should grant Alize some insight into why nobody cares that your game of tennis has been jeopardised.

Discrimination against one leads to discrimination against many.

It's really difficult because you can opt for a male or female doctor without discriminating. I'd figure patient comfort would be paramount in the traumatic situations listed there.

implicit in this is you assuming trans women are "male", which is both wrong and transphobic

I'm just talking about selecting male or female. I'm not entering the realm of anything other than patient comfort. If you have a doctor that has a personality you don't like that is also a reason to say no.

E: I'm a man so I don't care either way. I'll leave it to women to have strong opinions.

yes and the position in the tweet you're defending states that if the patient selects "female doctor pls" and get a trans woman they have a right to feel aggrieved because they are "male" (which is again, both incorrect and transphobic)

or are you saying you are okay with a patient saying "no black/asian/etc doctors please"

If they're in one of the extreme cases listed I think you should just do what the patient says. They're not there for a check up

Like I don't reckon taking a rape victim to task over racism or whatever is the right thing to do

the tweet is talking about pap smears which all cervix havers should get pretty regularly past age 21 so yes, it is literally talking about a check up

I'd say for a rape kit or something you'd have to make an effort to make the patient comfortable but if they were getting an eye exam and suddenly said they don't want a trans doctor or an Asian you'd just tell them to get hosed and move up your next appointment.

Buttcoin purse posted:

It's good how that tweet had a bunch of really different situations, ranging from pap smears which you tend to get from a doctor that you've chosen to go to yourself, to strip searches where I don't think you have all that much say in the matter. Is that an intentional choice to muddy the waters?
