The only way that UN tweet makes any sense is if the percentage of dead women journalists vs overall women journalists is orders of magnitude higher than the men equivalent. I have a feeling it isn’t though, but who knows?

I’m on the wrong side of herstory now, aren’t I?

The UN tweet implies that massively more women journalists are targeted but the people doing the targeting are so ineffective that they kill men journalists at ten to twenty times the rate.

Glad I stopped my UN/UNICEF donations. Probably the worst decision of my life to fund that racket.

That's basically intersectionality in a nutshell, no? Wild.

My nephew ( i guess? I don't know family relations) dressed up as this ambiguous person from an anime for halloween.

It made me smile.

One for his mom who I know is open minded. Two cause they are expressing themselves.

So tired of the nonstop attempts to pathologize black men and make a story about two anti-semites into a general indictment of "some black men."

All the Long COVID nuts in the replies with "at least HIV has a cure and actual medical science researching it!"

Potato · « **Reply #1698 on:** November 05, 2022, 02:11:03 AM »

Although, my understanding is that HIV, when controlled with medication, is pretty much a non-issue these days.

A quick Google search will tell you that's wrong.

Quote from: The Internet

The virus may never become fatal, but it can have a significant impact on your life and health. One study showed that people with HIV live 16 fewer years in good health than people who don't have the virus.

HIV medicine has definitely improved a lot in the last ~40 years, but it's still very much a virus that you want to avoid catching.

Potato · « **Reply #1700 on:** November 05, 2022, 05:34:26 AM »

Most definitely. Should probably avoid COVID too though and any other virus/disease.

Call of Duty should have a literal trigger warning every time you pull the trigger.

"CONTENT WARNING: This shot may kill another player's character."

I would play this ironically

content warning: the game

you walk off a ledge, "caution: the next few seconds may cause discomfort in those with acrophobia or vertigo. are you sure you wish to continue?"

Nah, the NBA should not be policing players' social media. (And did not in this case, it was the Nets ownership.)

Should I see what if anything Walsh tweeted about Daryl Morey?

Himu · « **Reply #1710 on:** November 06, 2022, 10:34:44 PM »

I think he's calling for fairness, not calling for policing players' social media. He's basically asking,"why does Lebron get a pass?" I would think. Or at least that's how I'm seeing it. I personally think players should be able to say whatever they want on their social media.
