Can’t see it in Canada :(

I wonder how many generations it will be until these ideas are wiped out. I’d love to think that girls born recently wouldn’t be exposed to it, but I know that’s a pipe dream.

I’m embarrassed to say that when I saw the title of the article my first thought was “Why replace her with a man?” Stupid subconscious ingrained prejudices.

The poor, poor soul.

It’s a good thing that I’m thick-skinned and more amused by all the passionate condemnations than anything else, because that’s really what you have to expect for poking your head out of GT.

Yeah, some people are feeling rather passionate about this one :) It doesn’t bother me to have a difference of opinion over it, at least.

Oh dear. Whatever will I do now?

As I said to someone else, I can see a manager refusing to give time off for graduation. I just have a hard time buying the fact that that manager knows that the employee is an orphan who’s had the most dickensian childhood possible and is completely oblivious (given everything else that the manager reports goes on at…

Yeah. It seems to be some sort of customer service based job (I could be wrong), and in all the CS/call centre jobs I’ve worked, sticking around for 6 months was enough to put you in higher seniority groups.

That could be.

I’ve had some shitty managers over the years, including one who told a man who took the day off to take care of his sick daughter that he was selfish for letting down the (work) team, but this still sounds fake to me. The employee couldn’t possibly be more sympathetic, and the manager couldn’t be more comically evil…

I want this now.

The best proof that there is intelligent life in the universe is that they stay far away from humanity.

I can already hear the reasons people will have why funding isn’t necessary. “What, you think I’m responsible now just because some women won’t cover up or wear bug spray?”

Phew, bc if you guys leave and force me to be more productive at work, I’ll be pissed.

Not to support fraternities or violence, but why a ten year ban? Wouldn’t everyone involved be gone in four?

My cats have an internal cuddle alarm that means every morning at 7 sees me suddenly trying to avoid three noses in my face and multiple paws trying to get under the blanket.

Counterpoint:

Except that if you kept your original clothing as long as possible and then replaced it, you wouldn’t have the initial expense and would still have the later savings.

So can anyone explain how a plan that involves throwing out perfectly good clothing and buying more keeps costs low? I can see how it might simplify things in a sense, but how can anyone say this part of the plan saves money?
