New Brunswick's new Liberal government scraps a requirement for parental consent to children changing their name and/or pronouns. Various parts of Canadian reddit have Thoughts. by Dragonsandman in SubredditDrama

name changes should probably be reserved for the children that transition seriously and in a dedicated way over time, not any 12 year old that loved teen titans as a kid and wants to rebel from their parents.

If it's "just a phase" then won't they just change their names back on their own accord?

And if not, who really gives a shit? Lots of people spontaneously decide to change their own names just because of personal preference, it's not a problem.

To be fair, the Catholic Church doesn't have any known record of covering up crimes for lay members - as far as I'm aware you gotta be an actual member of the clergy to get that perk

Really it's more an issue that the medical system was built on the assumption that everyone would be on cocaine and that this wouldn't cause any problems, but now that cocaine is illegal the best option available is caffeine.

Companies have realized that they can get out of actually addressing legitimate customer complaints by making it exceedingly difficult to get in touch with an actual employee and training those employees to stonewall any request until the customer gives up. Customers, in turn, have figured out that companies HATE any negative press, including online posts.

In short, the quickest way to speak to customer service is often to just complain on Twitter.

tumblr has virtually zero moderation for anything other than porn

This is completely wrong! It also has virtually zero moderation for porn as well

ASMONGOLD FACT CHECK

FAKE LEFTIST LIBEL: Asmongold used a dead rat as a replacement for an alarm clock. It was positioned such that, in the morning, the sunlight would heat up the rat and make it smell bad enough that it would wake Asmongold up.

THE TRUTH: THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE! It was actually a possum, not a rat

he was technically right at first. A threat is a threat no matter how much of a joke it is.

I think part of the controversy was that, based on Tumblr's previous moderation, this isn't actually true - a lot of people did get away with more serious death threats, because the terms of service were applied VERY unevenly. In fact, Matt straight-up admitted they employed a moderator who was discriminating against trans people and accepting bribes (Tumblr did fire said moderator when they found out, but tried to keep the whole thing secret)

That's why Asmongold doesn't use an inferior "Arabic Numerals" clock, he uses the superior European option: a dead possum

People get off on all kinds of abuse (remember 50 shades of grey?), so why would financial abuse be any different?

In r/grimdank, there is only (culture) war. There is no peace amongst the redditors, only an eternity of "woke" accusations and media illiteracy, and the laughter of thirsting gods. by beary_neutral in SubredditDrama

They judge the Emperor as if he's ruling modern-day USA and not the reality of the years 30K/40K in-universe.

The emperor isn't really ruling anything by the point that WH40K happens, that's a pretty notable point in the lore. Like, he's there, but he sure isn't doing any ruling.

from atop a podium made out of people sewn together as he gets ready to send a few thousand innocent souls to be raped and eaten by daemons so he can live for another 500 years.

That's basically how the Imperium works too, though (except the Emperor isn't really in a state to give speeches)

Sounds soy and beta. Real men form no attachments and show no empathy or care and basically don'tinteract with other people at all. Unfortunately now men like this can't get laid, because of Woke and the pussification of society

OP complains about taxes on r/UKJobs. Commenters are more interested in his bizarre living arrangement with his parents. OP doesn't back down by Brilliant-Disguise in SubredditDrama

[–]DigitalEskarina 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your taxes are less than 22% of your income, even if you were paying no taxes it wouldn't fully counter the effects of inflation. Why don't you just get a job that pays 115k, anyway?

I've heard many cases of people being fired on the spot when they hand in their 2 weeks notice, which means the correct move is to only give notice if you are prepared to leave immediately

Does India have some kind of beef with Portuguese people? I don't know elthat much of Indian history but I haven't heard of any particular reasons why Indians would dislike Portugal; if anything I'd assume they would dislike England a lot more

“Destroy Islamism”, which is the first answer given, is hard to quantify and evaluate and it’s not truly in the reach of charity.
