fair and reasonable response

See you at Pax

No-cancer is the best type of cancer diagnosis.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Lord of the Fries (card game) - Wikipedia

Apparently it was officially published in 1998. I was sure we had it before that. *shrug*

I’m pretty sure the Cheapass Games “Lord of the Fries” card game predates the food franchise by a decade or more. We’ve had a copy since the mid 90s and it was a reprint then.

Best wishes and I hope it goes smoothly.

Newsflash - being male and white is not a professional qualification or even an indicator of skill, expertise or competence.

We know a couple planning to move to Portugal. They have a program to head-hunt academics.

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently.

I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

Your reminder that it's not a war—it's a genocide. #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

“Who will rid me of this troublesome priest”

I forwarded one to IT for review because I didn’t recognise the domain and it was claiming to be internal training in IT security.

They hadn’t notified us in any way they they were using a new specialised third party training company…

Cancel Culture is the ultimate expression of ‘the customer is always right’.

It’s the public saying that they are no longer buying what you’re selling. Whether that’s a product, a service, an entertainment or an idea.

Probably because someone might call them a nasty name and hurt their precious snowflake fee-fees.

Only the wealthy and their well paid minions are allowed to use derogatory terms. Not the riff-raff.

I had to ask someone to get something from a top shelf for me yesterday (I’m 5’2” on a good day). Most of the time people are helpful and gracious about it.

The problem with insisting you find a staff member is there are frequently very few around to ask because‘capitalism’ means understaffed.

Who would have thought that the Engadine McDonalds incident was merely training to stand next to Trump smiling many years later.

On the topic of flashing - dickpics are just digital flashing. We made it easier for men to flash women, often from the safety of their own bedrooms or bathrooms, and in doing so expanded the number of men who felt comfortable doing so.

'I wish it could be Christmas every day' could only be written by someone not responsible for any of the organising & work that goes into it.

No middle aged woman could possibly have written it.

Stop wishing & get helping, fella.

“Well those people aren’t using these valuable resources or they aren’t using them correctly in our opinion” is the first step in every exploitative, colonizing action designed to facilitate structural theft.

To spread some positivity towards cat games, Im putting together a megathread of all the cat games that were recommended/suggested in the comments and links to where to check them out :)

Ahem… ‘underage women’.

We all know girls are fully mature women from … let’s say 13 or so … whereas men are only vulnerable and easily influenced boys until they are at least 30.

But women are too childlike to be in positions of responsibility, ever.

Something, something, internal consistency

The loss of the ‘third place’ has left many people rudderless and in search of some way to feel connected. Instead of in person gathering places, they end up in Internet forums and echo chambers - where anonymity holds no one to account.

Add to that - if the frontline approaches or passes where you live, the soldiers don’t politely doff their caps and skirt around women in their path. Civilian women have been victims of war since the very first conflict and are often treated as spoils for the combatants to claim.

He also ignored that there were women close to the frontline as nurses, all volunteers. And a small number of women behind the lines as spies.

I wonder if we will ever be told the cost in manpower hunting down this one assailant in comparison to all the other murders that go unsolved.
I suspect more cases would be closed if similar levels of resources were allocated. But we know that isn’t sustainable, and the victim was ‘important’.

It’s a few decades back now - but I had multiple teachers tell me I shouldn’t be doing a maths/physics/chemistry course load for HSC - I should be doing accounting and typing and home economics. I was the second highest ranked student in the school. Imagine what I could have done with support.
