I listened to one of their podcasts, about uber and it's very accurate, very funny, and wow, uber is disgusting company.The Dollop is a podcast hosted since April 2014 by American comedians Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds. Each episode centers around an event or person from history selected for its humorousness or peculiarity. Typical episodes feature subjects from American history described by Anthony and commented on by Anthony and Reynolds.

I can top that. Coming back from the US to China, when I made our reservations for a hotel in Guangzhou, and a train from there to Guilin, I made them for a day too early, so we arrived too late at the hotel to get the room, and we missed our train. No refunds! I bought new train tickets, and we missed the train again, because we went to the wrong station. No refunds! All the seats were sold out for the following day, so it ended up taking more than two days longer to get back home than we had planned.Brive1987 wrote:Fucked up today and it took 13 hours to get to Switzerland destination.
Well... the flesh thing didn't hit everywhere. Miniature models paints still use flesh as a name... and light flesh... and dark flesh... and ruddy flesh... haha.

5 Times Crayola Fired Their Crayons
The concerns about that made sense to me at the time, because I could see how people could be oppressed, demoralized, and disabled by popular stereotypes. I would still agree with changing the name of that color, but not because it was part of a system of oppression, which I agree that it was, but because of its inaccuracy in some contexts where the crayons might be used. I also see that even that far back, the political correctness might have been more for economic and political reasons, than to actually address any social issues.
Thinking about that, I see that one glaring flaw among others in political correctness is substituting repression of some symptoms of social problems, in the place of actually trying to solve the problems.
Just like most drug prescriptions these days.

I'm sure that happens a lot, and that grieves me just as much as the harm that I see being done with prescription drugs. Everything I've said about fraudulent marketing, and drug abuse, applies just as much to organic woo as to prescription drugs, except that possibly organic woo might be less poisonous.free thoughtpolice wrote:I have heard of and seen a lot of grief, too often lethal where people needed medication and listened to some organic woo peddler and refused treatment because it wasn't organic or pure or some other.
The tragedy about Singal is that he is capable of good journalism. What seems to have got in his way of that is he is dishonest.

Michael Bates was Asian. he was born in Jhansi in India.shoutinghorse wrote:Two of my earliest experiences of PC come from TV & film and both from the 1970's .. I can remember watching the movie Dambusters in the late 70's and hearing Guy Gibsons dog Nigger being dubbed as "Blackie" Interestingly, I've also seen the film where the name has just been left out (silent pause) but more recently with the 'Offensive word' being left in.
My second memory is the British sitcom 'It ain't half hot mum' where the lead Indian character was played by the white English actor Michael Bates which caused a bit of a kerfuffle at the time for the role not going to an 'Asian' actor. No one seemed to be bothered about the very effeminate and very gay/trans character Gloria though.

As we have patiently explained to you, treating the symptoms is treating the condition because those symptoms are the condition. If you think you know what the underlying cause is please let the medical profession know what the fuck it is.jimhabegger wrote:Or even as I said it originally: Most drug prescriptions are substituting relief of symptoms in the place of treating whatever is causing them. Are you disagreeing with that? Are you doubting it? And even if I'm wrong, I don't see how saying that would discourage anyone from using drugs responsibly, to relieve their symptoms.
Actually, what I've been thinking of has been drugs prescribed for perpetual daily use, but what I'm saying might apply to drugs in general. What makes perpetual daily use more of an issue for me is that it has more tragic consequences.

At this point she still hand a vested interest in "regular atheist bros" that listened to SGU. Shortly hereafter would come her first taste of victim-hood attention and it's associated advantages (which henceforth I shall call "VICTIMCOME"). If you listened to SGU back in the day -I did- she became increasingly vocal and shrill about this, culminating in the Dawkins fallout.jimhabegger wrote:I've just watched parts of two or three of Watson's videos, and actually what I like best of what I've seen is what she said about the guy in the elevator, and her infamous remark "Just a word t-- to the wise, here, guys ... don't to that."
I thought it was cute, and appealing, and if that's what all the fuss was about, I don't get it. Watching her up to that point made me feel like inviting her somewhere for a coffee. I've already found a common interest with her: we both like Starbucks. It's the part starting at 5:55 that starts to annoy me, and gives me second thoughts about ever having a coffee with her. Still, not enough to make a fuss about it.
