Hey did you follow the americas cup this year?

What did you think of the wingsails / twin skins / no boom configuration?

No they haven’t. Thanks for asking.

I honestly don’t know. Maybe a carry over from print journalism?

Yes

However without experiencing the previous version of bad there isn’t a frame of reference, so whatever bad experience is now is the bad experience

Guys…

Take a deep breath

Be thankful for what you have

Be compassionate for others sharing the same experiences

You will feel better.

It is that simple.

becoming an officer in the salvation army requires signing documentation. Likewise ministers need to be ordained.

So maybe expand the definition of regulation to include public institutions which have defined rules or codes of conducts. Leaving out the clanging irony of the multitude of crimes committed through organised religion.

Journalists is a weird one. I think back in the day it would have been that they trade on their public reputation. Less so now when I can start up a blog on college sports and call myself an investigative journalist.

Certification, regulation, proof of identity, of public note or public record…

Basically - you are known and can be found.

This is very much how I feel in leadership

But why are they still talking about in in 2100 in the comic? I don’t get whether it’s shitting on the Bernie supporters for not moving on, or taking the piss out of the democratic party not getting its shit together.

What do you personally see as male problems? Without googling - just off the top of your head. Im intrigued as to what gets broadcast.

Off the top of my head for women - safety (both physical and psychological), financial independence, equality of opportunity, disparate domestic and emotional load, sexual objectification, gender pay disparity (overall), representation.

I won’t say reproductive rights because I don’t live in the US, and while body image is a problem, I think its also impacting a lot of young men too.

Responding directly to the person in the comic

I hear you when you say that as a woman, you feel societal expectations of you can be harsh and contradictory.

There isn’t a way for me to experience the same things that you experience, but I can try to empathise with your experiences by comparing them with my own, and noting times when I have felt the same way. This means that I have to compare my experiences with yours. It isn’t done from a place of contest, but from trying to relate.

Cmon. It’s a straw man argument and the comic is intended to be polaeisiing.

Both sets of issues can coexist, and I strongly suspect that many issues have a common root.

The person you’re arguing with is called crocodile munted and the flag next to their name is Australian.

There is a slim chance they’re not able to vote in the us elections

I’m not sure if you’ve picked it up so to clearly spell it out: irritating other people for the simple pleasure of watching them becoming more irritated is a national sport in Australia.

Aka inconsiderate people

Wore a maroon coloured hoodie

The dude who asked me this also stared fixedly at the crotch of my board shorts and asked me “where’s your package, man?” upon me exiting climbing out of a (cold) plunge pool

I clearly looked confused, so he says “where’s your piece?”

Dude clearly spent a fair amount of his time cataloguing the outlines of flaccid penises through boardshorts for whatever fucking reason.

I was offended, ish, till I heard the growers vs show-ers thing. Mine retracts while not in use, it’s quite convenient.

Shift work has been a thing forever

Not sure why retail is any different.

Sometimes the base level of aggression or the base level of inflection is way higher than what you’re locally tuned for.

Anecdotally I have found even business conversations with people from the US to be over the top. Especially through the sales cycle. There is a lot of hype that I need to adjust for in comparison to vendors in the UK, Europe and Asia.

It’s not a bad thing, it’s a social standard. I probably appear quiet reserved and shy by comparison.

Wtf

Insomnia in my ass

How are your knees?
