  • Men can take their shirts off for hot days and exercise. Why can't women do the same in 2025?

    Jump

  • No, that's not it. The whole stupid thing revolves around a principle of parity, as you acknowledge. I'd just rather have it go the other way, and am willing to wear a shirt more if that's what has to be done to appease those who want perfect parity in clothing rules between sexes.

  • The obsession with pedos has long struck me as an excuse to generate violence against a target group by naming them as the most unambiguously vile people. It's the core of blood libel, pizza gate, anti-drag laws, etc. I don't think the turnaround of "you know who the real pedos are?" is all that effective. I think we need a revulsion to vigilantism that is even stronger than revulsion to any crime, so claims of crime or harm cannot be used to lend support to vigilante violence.

    Did anyone else not even know who Charlie Kirk was!?

    Jump

  • Seems highly unlikely at this point. Texts have come out from the Utah police indicating he was in a relationship with a trans person and upset at Kirk's rhetoric. I wouldn't call him ideologically coherent, but also...not a groyper.

  • what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?

    Jump

  • I think it's mostly stupid and ethically questionable, except when your speech needs to be evaluated as a routine part of the job. I don't think worker to worker conversations should be impacted though.

    Jump

  • Yes, but also this is why I want guys to put their shirts back on.

  • I was so confused by that.

    Jump

  • Yeah, basically agree. And if parity is the goal I'd rather see men cover up a little more.

  • What do you think: should all government software be open source?

    Jump

  • I think all government software should be GPLed. Of the binaries or interfaces don't face the public then the code doesn't need to be shared, but otherwise: public funded should mean it's a publicly accessible good.

  • The second panel should include "I still get paid for the work of one."

  • Why do people call it “woke”?

    Jump

  • "Woke" was what some people said they were when they said and did certain things. Then some other people decided they didn't like that first group of people, sometimes for what they said, sometimes for what they did, sometimes just for who they were, and they saw that those people called themselves woke. So they decided that they didn't like woke, and when they saw other things they didn't like that reminded them of the first group, they called that woke too.

    There is not necessarily only two groups.

  • Americans have 400 days to save their democracy

  • I mean, I get it, but come on.....

  • is it a red flag to make sexual and romantic jokes to others but not your partner or no?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's sex + love. "Romantic" as a descriptor was always a euphemism. Sexual desire waxes and wanes, and varies between people and over time. Always has been. But it would be a very weird kind of categorization if you had to redefine your feelings constantly based on the present moment.

  • Have restaurants like Taco Bell gotten crazy expensive for what you get or am I crazy?

    Jump

  • Yeah the prices are getting out of control. It can be cheaper to eat at a fast casual restaurant.

  • Las Vegas mayor says the city is suffering from a serious drop in Canadian tourists: 'We need you, and we miss you' | Fortune

    Jump

  • Idk why anyone would, except most days the only other choice is Republicans. But it's a long observed trend for cities to lean Demo.

    Jump

  • The mayor of Las Vegas is a democrat, not a member of the face-eating leopards party. I'm too busy to look it up right now but I'm going to bet that the Las Vegas City and surrounding county is probably one of the most consistently Democratic parts of Nevada. Of course Canadians should still stay away. Any non-american should just not come, but this is not lamf

  • This is a good answer. Also people don't tend to change their minds quickly on subjects they feel strongly about, but quality contrary evidence, especially without judgment or moralism, can sow seeds of doubt.

  • Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI

    Jump

  • Hahahahaha The only reason we have a 5 day workweek is the labor movement. Capitalists then love to saunter up later with their new tech saying they can shave a few more days off. Does it ever happen? Nope. You get new work and they pocket the savings.
