I hate to say it, but maybe some groups of people need the shared experience of war to find common ground with each other enough to sit down and talk. Before that, they perceive they have nothing in common and treat people as “other.”

The perception of “other” being specifically programmed by various leaderships through propaganda and population conditioning is a separate but related issue.

Arguably, under a UBI system people will not be pressured into jobs they aren’t good at or hate just because those jobs offer the wage they need to live. Demographically, “female-coded” jobs are undervalued, so I can see how a UBI would help level the playing field there especially.

I can think of many times I’ve wondered why the hell a coworker is doing this job when they suck at it and seem to hate it. I’d love for those people to have the option to just get out without potentially parking themselves and their family at the food bank.

I’ve started to pay more attention to Costco’s “price per unit” entries on those tags, I just wish that other stores that have lots of comparable items side-by-side would do it.

I’ve been on site with the ones built out of a portable, like you see on school grounds. They have full flush facilities, they’ve got a separate water reservoir set up underneath or alongside that’s hooked up to a fire hydrant.

Hell, you can get hand wash stations that work on a foot pump using grey water that are pretty space-saving, even, if you don’t want to totally ditch the portajohns.

The only problem is the people who use them and leave them filthy as fuck.

When I clear a few time-sensitive projects, a Jellyfin deep dive is probably in the works.

I honestly don’t understand why you think that “sharing such feelings is nonsensical.” Can you provide a basis for this statement? You’ve pulled that out of nowhere as far as I can tell, introducing a rule that benefits you for no apparent reason.

We’re commenting on a news fluff piece about a woman’s views on how women are treated in politics. I’m sharing my observations and “feelings” on a similar trend I’ve seen in trades. I came out of the gate strong because I’ve had this conversation dozens of times in the last decade, and am heavily invested in the topic, which I guess involves “feelings.” Not sure why this is a problem. Feelings provide measureable feedback for social interactions and psychological states, and “feelings” and manipulating them en-masse seems to literally be a currency in today’s world, so potentially the opposite of “no one giv[ing] a rat’s ass” about them.

This conversation with you is difficult for me to navigate, because you have entered it seemingly by a completely different set of conversational rules than me. It was really off putting. My goal in this conversation was fairly casual, as one might discuss with a coworker or neighbour.

As for the non-sequitur, my paragraph you quoted was directly responsive to the text directly above it that I quoted from the article. I don’t consider it, on reviewing it, to even be a non-sequitur.

You honestly just come across as super rude, and taking into account that attacking women’s “feelings” is another common tactic used to undermine us on a constant basis (she’s moody, bitchy, high-strung, etc), it’s in pretty poor taste and potentially bad-faith argument in the context of this discussion.

I either have an issue with your tone (which makes me cringe because tone policing is shitty, but I’ll own what I’ve said) or your worldview, which must be hard to live with if that’s the case, in which case I sympathize.

TL;DR: I’m here to casually discuss this article with random people on the internet, I’m not entirely sure why you’re here but I’m a little curious.

Then yeah, the waiting on the vet sucks but is the best plan. He may need an anti-nausea med. Call them if the email hasn’t been answered by a reasonable time (say after 4-6 hours of their posted opening time today.) Emails are less time sensitive than a phone call.

Food can be swapped or supplemented with plain baked or boiled chicken, rice, and puréed pumpkin (NOT pie filling!) if they’ll take it.

My vet gives a probiotic any time she prescribes an antibiotic now, it’s called Fortiflora and it’s a packet you sprinkle over their food. Maybe ask about something like that?

My dog taking chemo also has a standing prescription for an anti-nausea drug. If it’s this constant for your dog, you should ask your vet about options for the next couple of week.

I just thought I must be misunderstanding you when you argued that it’s fine to attack the appearance of women in politics because it only bother them, and not the men.

Or, how about we instead expect people to engage with politicians about their politics instead of diverting to attacks on their appearance “because it doesn’t seem to bother men when it’s done to them.”

I know it hasn’t worked because I’ve been working in a male-dominated field for almost a decade, and I and other women have noticed that people will keep fucking with you unless you face them down and call them out on it. Women in politics just aren’t allowed to cuss as much when they do it as I am.

By your use of “non-sequitur,” I suspect that you’re only interested in a strictly-moderated debate that you can “win” rather than a good-faith discussion of a specific phenomenon in society, and I’m not interested. I was merely stating my view from an adjacent viewpoint, hoping to have a discussion that could lead to useful knowledge shared on the topic.

Instead I appear to have touched a nerve.

“‘For a long time, we have created an environment where we let these kinds of things to happen, so bringing such hateful, sexist comments to light is exactly what we should be doing,’ said Blades.”

Stoicism and turning the other cheek hasn’t worked. So calling it out makes perfect sense.

Trudeau is a single example of a man facing a similar issue, so just come up with 5-10 more and you’ll be close to convincing me.

Blaming people for not brushing off comments like this is pretty gross. Why don’t we try holding people to a minimum standard of behaviour that includes not harassing others who are effectively strangers? You know, a new solution for an old problem that hasn’t previously been solved with the old solutions?

This is the literal only reason I haven’t tuned in. I’m not signing up and keeping track of yet another streaming service, especially one that’s only has one thing I want to watch. This show is the only one I’m actually missing right now.

I will say, I’ve been getting a lot more useful things done once I started cancelling streaming services that I hadn’t watched anything on in months.

Every time I open a streaming service now, the things I want to watch are locked into an extra subscription. I generally end up just walking away rather than watching anything, and when I do dig around and find some thing else that is available on “my tier,” it absolutely wasn’t worth it.

Forget even piracy, I’m just not watching anything anymore. When streaming makes my chore list look more attractive, they’ve definitely fucked up.
