@pb_and_garlic @Buddhiststeak Years ago, I was at Chipotle and the man in front of me ordered a bowl with 4x chicken and then asked for the rest of the bowl to be filled up with sour cream, nothing else—no rice, no beans, no toppings. That was during the Keto rage, but it haunts me nonetheless
Back from Trump country and all my preconceived notions were confirmed and I'm not even going to cite anecdote to try to prove my points, just going to reassert them. I'm a journalist doing journalism!
This is hilarious, they can't even bring themselves to say "women's bodies," thereby failing to describe the controversy to anyone who doesn't already know.
@tabularasaTonyB@FondOfBeetles Like I said, I disagree that there is a single explanation for male overrepresentation in a wide variety of fields. I think that's obvious if you consider the differences in how to be successful in, say, chess, weightlifting, and climbing the corporate ladder.
Is it too beyond to think Noah is doing a woke deeptroll here? Ivy is an insane interviewee to pick if you're trying to increase support for TW in women's sports among normie libs. Even aside from his sordid past, just look at the state of him lol
@tabularasaTonyB@FondOfBeetles Not that Emma needs my help here, but the reasons why men dominate in e-sport & chess competitions are different from the reasons why men outperform women in most sporting competitions, and both reasons are different from why more men are CEOs and politicians. You must know this.
@TeiaOKOK Ironically, Mary's take seems to lack true familiarly with what city living is like for those not just passing thru. The small town parochialism she's talking about also exists in lifelong city people. Not an insult, I see it in my friends & family, parochialism has its benefits
@TeiaOKOK I grew up in NYC and absolutely agree. People who live in big cities for the long haul end up constructing insular community spaces (perhaps you could call them faux insular communities) for themselves. Feeling unmoored is antithetical to human flourishing imo
@PikeBot It's so frustrating when people misconstrue my 'close all pediatric cancer hospitals' campaign! I just want to find a solution to pediatric cancers, what don't people understand
When I waitressed, I sat & served a local homeless man on the house. He started coming by to sexually harass me and my female coworkers. One day, he groped my coworker, masturbated in the back booth, then pissed all over the floor. Will never forget cleaning up that piss.
there is a homeless man in birmingham city centre who is the kindest man, everytime he sees me he’ll always ask me how everything is going and how my day has been! the council really don’t give a shit about him but i’ve never seen somebody stay positive after everything
@ablacklady1 It's simple self-preservation -- I've had too many experiences where I've given money to homeless men, only to have them say the most vile sexual shit to me. Two memorable times I was followed afterwards. Men should give homeless men money, I'll give mine to women
