$20/hr is pretty much the bare minimum to earn a living wage in many places.

It sounds like that dude doesnt want to pay anyone $23, much less $25.

He probably wanted to pay you something south of 20

Sorry he laughed at you, that was a very shitty thing to do.

Yeah I worked at a theatre that served alcohol and most people werent licensed. They were even allowed to pour beer and wine as long as they were 18.

Maybe different state laws, here you can serve at 18 but you must be certified

this is because you can be held legally liable if you serve someone drunk or if someone drunk causes a wreck, hurts people, etc.

You are liable for serving them

its possible your theater was probably breaking the law and had very inept management, too

wait what?

the license is specifically about selling and not just about distributing?

Yep, at least in my state. Some other states might have different laws

I don't think that's true. My local Applebee's hires high schoolers for hosts.

Theyre not serving or allowed to serve if they arent licensed then

why would you think that though? was it part of one of the songs?

The media is reporting speculation on it. Stranger Things has stopped filming because she stepped away from production and she was also spotted out buying baby supplies, allegedly for some baby goat or sheep?

Im sure other people know more than myself, which is why I asked.

Did you erase my post because you thought it was going to get modded or report me for trolling or something?

WingsOfGood posted...

Huh

Guess we will find out

Cant wait for the next track from Kendrick

Some do but its not common, or if they dont have a license to sell alcohol they can give it away for free.

If your establishment has alcohol, all of the employees must be certified / licensed

Haha

when i saw that bit about under aged girls i thought he was talking about drake bell

and as i said i knew that was not the drake in question

so uh sorry

Ah yeah I remember him too

Did he get in some trouble ?

AceMos posted...

seriously when i hear drake i think of drake bell

but obviously he was not the drake currently being discussed constantly

so i had no idea who he was

more time was spent bitching about me asking

than it would have taken to just explain the situation

this is the current events board i would think asking questions about the events going on would be normal

infact it typically is

I responded and you were just like no really who is this guy

That's their number 1 idiotic point.

If you're "biologically male" and you are trans all you want is to assault women and girls. It's their whole shtick.

It has absolutely 0 basis but they know their voter base are equally as stupid.

These republicans have biologically stupid politics

Yes, I am an expert.

Pretty sure Tool makes fun of their own fans. There's no way they can't.

Picking what album to start with depends what genre you favor - for more straightforward, aggressive metal, the earlier the album, the heavier. The albums get increasingly progressive and esoteric, with Aenima and Lateralus having the most noticeable elements of both. If you can listen to mostly filled out 80 minute CD in one sitting, the albums are best listened to in the intended sequence (which the band has not gone on record to my knowledge to verify the legitimacy of an alternative Lateralus track listing).

Another copy-pasta for the pile /-\

So I guess only like two of us in this whole topic aren't making fun of TOOL fans lol

Prison Sex is still their best song. My favorite though is Hooker with a Penis.

I wish there was an album recording of prison sex with the extended bridge "thought I could make it end, thought I could wash the stains away, thought I could break the circle if I slip right into your skin, so sweet was your surrender, we have become one, I have become my terror, and you my precious lamb and martyr"

The definitive Tool top 5

1. Pushit (Salival version)
2. Descending
3. Third Eye (Salival version)
4. The Grudge
5. The Pot
Everyone else is wrong.

These are also some of my favorite songs, including H. (If you know how to play it on guitar/bass, the riffs are very similar to Pushit)

Leave it to Christian conservative republicans to be the kind of people who would describe a high school girl in the 10th grade as ripe and fertile, in the context of teen pregnancy and marriage. Their religious youth programs never fail to make my skin crawl

Curious what some of our Christian conservative board members think about this, but I think most of them have blocked me by now after calling them out for their past bigotry

I still can't understand why she continues to cling to her bigotry at this point. Did some transgender individual hurt her deeply in the past and now she wants petty revenge?

https://www.metromag.co.nz/society/society-society/terf-trans-activism-cis-gender-critical

Trans exclusionary or gender critical feminists are a particularly dogmatic group of political ideologues its quite uncommon for people who publicly ascribe to the ideology to later publicly denounce it. Metros digital editor Tess Nichol talked to someone who did.

How did you become engaged with TERF ideology and ideas?
About a year ago I had to write something brief on the self-ID issue and read a little bit about [Wellington activist] Renee Gerlichs campaign and then more from people in the UK like Julie Bindel, Helen Lewis, [Australian author] Germaine Greer and Jane Clare Jones. I cant remember what tipped me towards it exactly but there was something persuasive, I thought then, in the gender essentialist idea. Which I now disagree with.

What felt right or persuasive about what you read?
Im struggling to remember the exact thing, but it was something about male and female being clear biological realities and the concept of a man who felt he was in the wrong body was a logical impossibility (I now understand thats a metaphor which approximates the way people feel).
The other terrible thing to admit is that theres something exciting and stimulating about being at the centre of a big drama on Twitter. I said the other day that TERFs were cult-like and I think thats true. Its the us against the world mentality.

Why do you think one persuasive argument was enough for you to really run with the whole ideology? One theory I have relates to gender being quite a complicated concept to get your head around, and interrogating what it means to be a woman or a man can make people really uncomfortable, because it takes something integral to their sense of self and upends it. The discomfort that creates can lead to some people defensively adopting extreme views based on visceral and emotional reactions.
TERFdom is about the flimsiest cloak of feminist platitudes draped over disgust and hate. The word disgust is at the heart of it for a lot of people, even if they are unaware of it or refuse to admit it. A disgust that is prompted by what they see as a rejection of biological norms and the confusion of male and female categories. Im not saying it was that for me.

Another part of buying into it was the underdog aspect, as I saw it then. The TERFs have been good at portraying themselves as a marginalised, silenced minority with intellectual links back into more respectable feminism. My interest in it happened around the same time that Rachel Stewart was copping a lot of flak for her Herald column, and I saw that as a classic Twitter pile-on or mass shaming and bullying.

When did you start having misgivings and what were they? How did they mount and ultimately what was the final straw?
I had been in Twitter stoushes and pile ons before, so that was nothing new, but this was much more intense. I didnt like the tenor of the argument, the way that TERFs seemed to hound and victimise critics; or the single mindedness of their world view, the obsessiveness of it. I started to doubt the alarmist claims about men in womens changing rooms and prisons, and started to see them promote conspiracy theories about pedophiles. Im old enough to remember homosexual law reform in the 1980s when there were similar threats about where all this would lead or that gay marriage would lead to people marrying their pets.

A friend of mine said if you want to assess the quality of a new (as it was to me) argument or belief, see who else it attracts. Besides the legit feminists, there were mens rights activists, Jordan Peterson fans, free speech nuts, Quillette readers. The stories these supposedly left-wing activists were sharing were coming from the Spectator and the Daily Mail. It started to look like a convenient cause for misogynists who never had strong feelings about, say, womens participation in sport before.

Im also a big David Lynch fan. There is a great moment in Twin Peaks: The Return where Gordon Cole, played by Lynch, is talking to David Duchovnys trans character. He says something like when you became Denise, I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die. There was a lack of compassion amongst those in the movement.

That lack of compassion is whats so galling. TERFs seem to forget there are real people at the heart of their arguments. Theyre often extremely cruel in the way they talk about trans people, even when they claim not to be transphobic.
The lack of compassion, again to blame Twitter, is a lot to do with being online, conversing with others who often use pseudonyms and discussing people who are abstractions to you. Theyre not treated as people who are trying to live full lives and mind their own business. If they were in the room with you, would you say what you said? Probably not.

When were you inclined to listen to people who disagreed with you while being on board with TERFy ideas either real life friends or people online who were asking you to pull your head in? If someone is reading this and wants to confront someone in their life who is currently down the TERF rabbit hole, how would you suggest approaching them, based on your experience?
If someones deep in the TERF rabbit hole, I dont know. Maybe that Natalie Wynn video helps? Im an outlier. Most TERFs are women, I assume, mostly lesbians. Their perspective is utterly different to mine.

The cruelty was real, though. When I saw all the stuff flare up the other week about Massey and Stand Up for Women, I felt like I wanted to say something. It was a bit self-indulgent, and I didnt expect many people to really care, but I wanted to say I changed my mind and apologise to those who felt genuinely hurt. I know some did. We can think Twitter arguments are just a game, or fun, especially if we are relatively privileged, but they can be genuinely hurtful for others reading it.

What would you suggest or say to people grappling with how they feel about gender identity issues I dont mean grappling with their gender identity, but who perhaps feel convinced or at least not unconvinced by TERF arguments?
They should maybe read more and talk less. We dont have to have opinions on everything. Listen to or read about the actual lived experience of people.

*Many TERFs now reject this label and prefer to use the term gender critical feminists. It has been alleged the term TERF is a slur, and abusive. However the acronym was used for a long time by those who agreed with the political philosophy to self-identify. Although it is often used by critics of the movement, often in highly critical or even aggressive contexts, Metro does not agree it is a slur, and is a more accurate description of the groups politics than Gender Critical feminism.

Daniel Radcliffe is awesome

Last time I shared content that shows how the Cass Report is harmful, it was shot down with the same bogus hand waving as a biased source even though it was from a highly respected journalist for trans issues (Erin Reed.)

There's a ton of problems with the report and it is not helpful, following a pattern of treating gender affirming care as unproven and experimental because they want to throw out evidence and research. It's a dogmatic and harmful approach and way behind. I would bet dollars to donuts Hilary Cass was intentionally chosen for her views on providing gender affirming care to minors, and she went about crafting this review accordingly.

Her methodology has already been deconstructed as deeply unethical.

dont buy her $1,000 kicks until 1 year anniversary from the first date
