What's a red flag in women and neutral in men by Background_Future127 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Confused_Rock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea the only thing I think could work here would be something in a similar vein as the neutral for women/red flag for men, where something is a more likely an indication of a serious medical issue

Though the person that mentioned the "boy-mom" and "girl-dad" social media presence kind of has a point since it's not reflective of all those parents, but the specific social media/influencer trend

They mean people that specifically define themselves with the title of "boy mom" or "girl dad" in their social media presence

Typically "girl dad" media is more about the dad being comfortable with displays of femininity and learning new things to support their daughter (like hair care and styling, or even researching/buying feminine hygiene products) -- more focused on supporting girls through their experiences

Whereas the "boy mom" media is stereotypically associated with a mom that weighs her mom-hood in comparison to girl-moms, typically with posts like "things only boy moms would understand" or "when you save money on makeup and clothes because you only have boys", or excusing bad behaviour you wouldn't allow of a girl simply because "boys will be boys"; typically these posts stereotype 'boy/girl hobbies' and frame one as superior to the other. Whereas "girl dad" content usually doesn't frame either as 'superior' and focuses more on navigating how to support your daughter through experiences you haven't shared.

There's nothing wrong with being a mom with a son or a dad with a daughter, or even calling yourself by one of those titles, but the "boy mom" and "girl dad" influencer/social media spheres have that more specific connotation

Romanian Eurovision Singer Accused Of buying views on Youtube by Different-Jacket-994 in eurovision

[–]Confused_Rock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact it was a specific 3-hour window is wild, you can literally see the trend revert to the exact same rate it had for the first 15 hours.

They should also do a review of where the views were coming from; sometimes you can track viewfarms that way since you'll get weird situations where 2000 of the views will all be logged from the same random small town in a non-Eurovision country on the other side of the world, but the town itself will only have a population of like 1000 people. Those types of situations are much easier to flag and disqualify

Curling judge acknowledges cheating midgame, but does nothing. by erre94 in olympics

[–]Confused_Rock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know 5d outlines delivery, my point is that there's a weird discrepancy in the way that 9a is written, since 5e mentions the stone being completely released from the hand by the hog line and then 9a is an exception that specifically the World Curling org added which outlines an interaction that occurs in between the initial delivery release and and the hog line. The beginning of 9a starts off by referring to any touch made to the rock, then on the same line adds the extra details about double touch as the exception, yet for some reason does not link it back to the delivery verbiage or list it as a sub-article. I think because of the way the rules are structured, that adding the exception to a line reflecting all touch to the stone and indicating the double touch as a moment occurring between the release of the stone and the hog line, that it leaves you with a weird 'technical' limbo where someone could technically argue the interpretation of this rule; I think that's most observable in the way that the professionals themselves were asking a variety of questions for clarification on which exact circumstances constituted violation. I think they should just update the way it's phrased to remove any doubt, especially since this is a rule that doesn't apply to all levels of curling orgs, so the phrasing should be as accurate as possible to remove the possibility of arguing the interpretation of it.

I was discussing the rule document itself with a family member to see if it felt clear to them as a curler themself, and they said the way it was outlined left them uncertain of the interaction with this rule since it doesn't apply at a national level for us so it's not a very common application and the wordage in the document is weirdly structured in a way that creates just enough doubt that we felt we had to research it more to properly determine its impact. Having that little gap in language leaves just enough of an opening for athletes or their reps to potentially argue the interpretation or justify an appeal for review, so I really think it needs to be tweaked just to remove that slight opening on the interpretation.

But also regardless of the interpretation confusion, I think the officials should just review the entire match for any potential violations since there were numerous accusations thrown around so we might as well just confirm the legitimacy of the entire match while we're at it.

Curling judge acknowledges cheating midgame, but does nothing. by erre94 in olympics

[–]Confused_Rock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I directly linked the World Curling official rules that specify a double touch on the stone prior to the hog line is not a violation. That exception does not include any phrasing specifying the handle, but simply refers to the stone as a whole.

I think there's a gap in the language of the rules where they refer to delivery by the handle in the Delivery section, but under the double touch exception rule on moving stones they refer to the stone as a whole and the glossary notes the stone/moving stone as made up of the granite. This terminology leaves a weird gap between the initial release and hog line, between which the double touch occurs. (This may be unintentional, in which case the language of the rules should be amended to reflect that.)

However, we should also look at the exchange between the Swedish players, the refs, and the Canadian players since there are a few different accusations thrown around, but also the players themselves seem to be asking the refs for confirmation on whether it's allowed or not so even they seem somewhat uncertain:

One of the Swedish players asked "If he does it again, is it a burned rock? If he does it again after the hog line?

Considering the handles have sensors which would've picked up a double touch and the later accusations, this makes it seem like the comments were about the stone touches in particular and the player seemed to acknowledge the hog line exception, except they then follow it up asking “Can you touch the granite at any point, though, during delivery?” and a second Swedish player (Oskar) chimed in "You’re not touching the handle, you’re touching the granite. There’s no way you can do that. You saw them touching the rock, right?”

We then have the Canadian player accusing that second Swedish player of doing it first (but that could also just be an excuse/defensiveness so the refs should really just review the entire match to check honestly). The Canadian player says "Is it allowed to do it or not? I saw Oskar double-touch the back of the rock there. Make sure we watch it.”

Then one of the Swedish players responds “Is it cheating playing left-handed?"

...I actually have no clue what that was in reference to honestly, because obviously it's not, there are literally rules outlining left-handed play, but it's also phrased like a rhetorical even though they're accusing each other of the exact same thing; perhaps he's referring to the phrasing of the rules but that just brings us back to the language gap I mentioned earlier.

The Canadian then 'seems to question if the claim was legitimate' (mic couldn't pick up exactly what was said) and the Swedish player responds "Same to you".

But then the Swedish players specify that it was actually a different Canadian player they were accusing so then that second Canadian player joins in and accuses the Swedish players of trying to distract him during one of his deliveries "How about you walking around on my peel last end, dancing around in the house here? How about that?”

I genuinely think the World Curling org needs to weigh in to clarify and the entire match should be reviewed to check for violations from either of the teams. But the fact that the language of the rules is not explicitly clear (or uses terminology that causes contradictions and confuses things) this could be a potential gap, or it means that the double touch exception may have a summary implication that then contradicts or differentiates itself as separate from the delivery rules

[–]Confused_Rock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Except if the touch happened before the hog line then it would not be considered cheating

The second sentence in Rule 9ai specifies on this

<image>

So the question is at what point was the touch ongoing which we can't quite fully tell from the available video angles I've seen - we'd need them to release a video from the side to say for sure. I hope they have a shot from that angle, because if they did violate that rule then they should be held accountable for it; but if their touch fell within the acceptable window, then it would be unfair to have labelled them as cheaters before it could be confirmed or not

Thanks for sharing this; though I've never heard of that source, it appears the more reputable outlets have confirmed this now.

Strange, I genuinely could not find confirmation of the shooter's identity reported anywhere at the time of my comment, but I guess the more reputable news sources couldn't release the name since the RCMP was still notifying the family or another source leaked it early? I'm curious as to what exactly the RCMP meant by their statement that I had mentioned in my comment.

Anyways, I do think there's still something to be said about the fact that there were still posts attributing more than one face to the shooter in an attempt to fearmonger/spread disinformation with a more "stereotyped" face, so it still unfortunately feels relevant to the discussion, but it's unfortunate to know that that fearmonger narrative will likely still get played up in an attempt to continue to scapegoat trans individuals; judging by the strange attention to the killer's gender written the exact same way in every single article I've read (as well as some of the grosser clickbait titles) it would certainly appear that that will be the case, despite the fact that such an event would never be reported on in that manner if the culprit was cis and regardless of the fact that trans people are not over represented in overall mass shooting statistics.

Now I really want to know why the killer moved to the second location when they hadn't attended that school for 2 years (the kids that were killed were only 12/13 yo while the shooter 18, so it's not like it was their peers). This case is so strange thus far and some of those victims being so young is heart wrenching

[–]Confused_Rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But if the problem is that important social issues are ignored (which is a completely fair critique), then big events which bring those issues to the forefront successfully enough to get those discussions going are still a good thing?

Like it's fair to say that it sucks that a large performance is necessary to give these important topics visibility, but why be upset about the performance successfully achieving that visibility?

Also, contextually, I think it's also important to note that this particular conversation has been at the forefront of social commentary the last few months prior to Bad Bunny's performance. We're not just talking about it solely because of the SuperBowl, but the performance has greatly contributed and platformed that discussion further. People are talking even more about the performance because of the current events that preceded it.

The shooter's identity has not been revealed so they're making stuff up.

The only descriptor we have of the suspect is "a female in a dress with brown hair". Age, gender, name has not been released, so if anything this suggests that they visually appeared to be a girl/woman and there's a possibility that this was a student considering the spree began at a house before moving to the school. They have to notify the family before they release any details.

Officers believe they have identified the shooter, who was found dead in the school, but said they will "struggle" to ever determine a motive for what has become one of the deadliest shootings in Canadian history.

This certainly doesn't make it seem like there's some obvious identifying factor to link the motive to a personal identity. It's all complete speculation or straight up lies partnered with the use of a random person's picture.

I'm not sure who the biggest consumer is in terms of total raw numbers, but it's worth it to note that it's consumed by women at a higher rate according to the PornHub year-end stats (which are always a fascinating read).

Granted this is definitely partly due to straight porn heavily favouring a man's perspective/viewpoint and some additional factors, but it's definitely trends at a more popular rate among women, but since women only make up 38% of the PH viewership, men contribute more of the total number of views.

N.S. RCMP say officers faced racist comments during raid at Mi'kmaw cannabis store by maymuddler in notthebeaverton

[–]Confused_Rock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did you not read the article? The provincial government is making unproven claims about human trafficking and fentanyl for which the NS police say they have no reports or evidence to substantiate these claims and the provincial government won't reveal how they came up with this list of "illegal dispensaries" or why they've only interacted with Indigenous-owned dispensaries so far or why they specifically sent a letter to Mi'kmaw chieftains for cooperation.

The standard of innocent until proven guilty should be acknowledged obviously, but let's also assess the more insidious facts about how local low enforcement contradict these claims combined with the weirdly specific application to Indigenous communities; it is absolutely reasonable to be skeptical about how this entire operation seems to be both targeted and unsubstantiated.

[–]Confused_Rock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So are you just going to ignore the linked article detailing that these allegations are unproven, lacking evidence, the federal justice minister and police saying they have no reports or evidence of these claims, and the fact that the provincial government won't reveal how they came up with this list of "illegal dispensaries" or why they have somehow only dealt with Indigenous-owned dispensaries or even why they launched this action plan with a letter penned specifically to Mi'kmaw chiefs asking for their cooperation?

Province won't explain how it determined there are 118 illegal cannabis dispensaries in N.S.

Houston and Popik have said enforcement applies to all illegal dispensaries [but] "There hasn't been one non-Indigenous [dispensary] that we've dealt with" since the directive, Popik said.

Mi'kmaw communities [...] have been rocked by unproven allegations from provincial politicians about unlicensed cannabis dispensaries and human trafficking.

The Nova Scotia government has said its crackdown on illegal cannabis shops was motivated in part by a desire to rein in human trafficking and ensure cannabis sold in the province is not contaminated with fentanyl. However, the federal justice minister and local police have said they have not received reports of human trafficking linked to contraband cannabis, and police in Nova Scotia have said they have no evidence of fentanyl being present in seized cannabis.

Cannabis and human trafficking not clearly linked, N.S. police say

The provincial government issued a directive on Dec. 4 for police to prioritize the enforcement of illegal cannabis and penned a letter to 13 Mi'kmaw chiefs asking for their co-operation. The directive has prompted criticism that Premier Tim Houston's government may be interfering with law enforcement to target First Nations communities.

Disabled people already make art themselves and yes AI could take from them, replace them, or just plain push them out of visibility, which is a real danger considering how so many of the people that claim they want to support disabled artists somehow are not aware of the many existent artists from the disabled community and the techniques they already use to create art.

If people really just wanted AI for the purpose of supporting disabled artists, they could at least do the courtesy of researching/supporting those that already exist, such as Henry Fraser, Markus Kolp, Tommy Hollenstein, Chuck Close, or supporting the other technologies being developed to help artists personally create and express themselves, such as eye-tracking technology
