This is one of the best visualizations of this issue. I regularly think back at this comic, awesome!!

And, again, this does not negate the fact that Richard worked hard to get his degree and worked his company's ranks. It should not be about pushing down the Richards of the world, it should be about pulling up the Paulas, and strive for a world were everyone is a Richard [relating to the comic, not all white men or we would be doomed ':) ]

I was going to say that I preferred them to stay in Sri Lanka, at least they would not become more soldiers for Putin... But moving there and then creating "whites only bars" 🤦, yeah, Sri Lanka is right in kicking them.

I loved the:

Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there.

There are many things wrong about the current Internet, but the pettiness against any affront (real or perceived) won't ever die, and I think that's good.

Here, boys, girls and everyone in between, we can see a textbook example of a strawman fallacy; you made up a scenario that is not the one being discussed, then you assigned OP a reaction to that made up scenario that you cannot know if it is true -as that is not what OP is reacting to- and that made up position is what your comment is criticizing.

We don't know OP's reaction to men in lampshades because that is not what we are seeing in the picture, we are seeing two women dressed as lampshades, so, as long as new, different pictures do not show up, OP and me will think that Palo Alto treat women as objects, we might change our position if new information goes out, but for now, that is what we have to judge.

And -before you try it again-, no I would not think it is OK if those were two men, neither if those were a man and a woman, or a kid and a parent or two grandpa's or two grannies... Should I keep making up scenarios so you can focus on the one at hand? Or is this enough?

No, it does not make sense, if the policy is "paperwork needed after 28 weeks" you should not have to provide paperwork before the 28 weeks. If what you say is a concern the policy should explicitly say "X paperwork after 28 weeks and Y proof of 'pregnancy time' if less than 28 weeks".

You cannot simply expect people to produce documentation on the spot when you have not mentioned upfront that is needed.

Haven't you read all those concerned emails? OP's web design is great! 😂

I think that this part cannot be forgotten:

"The assault follows a period of heavy fighting in the West Bank, where nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military raids this year, according to U.N. Mideast Envoy Tor Wennesland. Israel says the raids are aimed at militants, but stone-throwing protesters and people uninvolved in the violence have also been killed."

You cannot blame someone for fighting back.

First, even if you were right about the medical part, "getting sterilized" is not the end goal of anyone transitioning, the end goal is feeling more comfortable on their own bodies, some of them might accept losing reproductive capabilities as a trade of, but not necessarily all.

Second, "trans" is applied to anyone that is not comfortable with their assigned gender at birth -not only to people that have gone through the full transition-, transgender people can fell comfortable enough at any point of the transition and many stop before the reassignment surgery (if you ever see a video of how it works, you might understand why). That means that many transgender people have full reproductive capabilities, and many want to have them, as reproducing is part of their goals/desires/dreams; same a many cisgender people, you see?

Last but not least, it is their fucking body, the government should not in any way be allowed to decide that one group of people should not reproduce, and force them to undergo medical treatment just due to pure bigotry, period.

I will break the rules too just to reply to you. She does not use the word "hate" even once AND she starts avoiding generalizing by saying "these men"... and here you are taking it personally, so I can just assume that you are one of "these men", further proved by how you come to a women's only space and then disregard their feelings/needs, thank you for proving their point.

I was like "Ha, ha nice April's fools"... Then I keep reading the comments and... WTF‽

"Really, you have to believe me, is not only me, ALL boys want to..."

Read the whole article, still don't know if it is a PowerShell script that creates a backdoor, a PowerShell module that has a backdoor, a tool that uses PowerShell to gain extra access or an actual backdoor in PowerShell's code... Awful reporting.

We don't forget that, the comments are pointing to the fact that any rich person that got 2 billion through investments would end up paying less, no one is saying that 400 millions are not enough.

But allowing use of their IPs for sora it is big..

If it is the splinter I assume that the joke is them complaining about a splinter while they had chopped down every single tree in the vicinity.

Ok, hear me out, yes, written Galician is understandable by any Spanish speaker, but spoken Galician can sound really alien to Spaniard. I never forget one day watching in the TV the street reporter interviewing someone and I thought they were foreign until I suddenly caught a word, they were a Galician speaking Spanish with heavy accent! No way I would be able to understand that person if they had actually spoken Galician 😅

As per the article information, yes, of course, Madrileños are despised everywhere in Spain, if you live somewhere where they are not despised, is because they haven't visited yet.... (As with any generalization, there are som wonderful people from Madrid, not ALL of them deserve to be despised, but the majority....)

Not only that, haven't we agreed already that you cannot trademark common words? I might be wrong but if I am not, then by proxy you shouldn't be able to trademark a similar word and then use that trademark against a common word name, no?

Not wrong, at the same time, my wife and I were incapable of recovering from out first dog's death and we have not had a new pet since, so, as a general rule, you might be correct, but individually you can still find "elves that would have a problem with it".

Approval rate between Republicans is still over 90%, they might be complaining, but most of them would still vote for him if there was an election tomorrow because, somehow, "Democrats are worse".
