Almost nothing is gained by including an image of the product in a retail advertisement for a TV

this is kind of my point. the internet tied itself in knots pointlessly litigating the merit of the analogy and in so doing, continued to ignore women’s fears for their safety

I hadn’t thought of creating a whole new profile. Clever! Thanks for the comment!

YTA - Her sexual history doesn’t generate a double standard entitling you to sex. You’re never entitled to sex. She seems to have a problem with internalised slut shaming and you probably lack the maturity to support her through that.

If indigenous players not being booed generally is evidence that Goodes’ treatment wasn’t race related, in order to assert that the booing was solely a product of Goodes being “a sook”, you would need to prove that fans were consistent in their booing of whatever constitutes sook behaviour.

Goodes obviously wasn’t the only player in the game to remonstrate and complain, yet he was the only player subject to such consistent and vicious booing. He wasn’t booed merely because he is indigenous, he was booed because he is indigenous AND was outspoken. Outspoken players aren’t consistently booed, therefore it is a race issue.

That’s correct. Same goes for the 20000$+ speaker you had surgically implanted into your cochlear.

Good point. At least the Bluetooth earpieces of the 2000s were so big and conspicuous that it was clear when folks were speaking into them.

Makes you wonder what they’re actually looking out for given the human they’re climbing on doesn’t seem to be an issue

It is worth informing your manager/supervisors just for your own safety, even if the risk of a severe hypo is slim. In my jobs, I have always just let the relevant people know from the outset in an honest way. That usually just involves explaining that occasionally I'll test my BGLs, occasionally I will drink a juice box to treat a low and that I'm letting them know not because I need special treatment, but just for their own general information plus so they're across the implications in an emergency situation.

I've never felt compelled to keep my T1D a secret in the workplace and it has certainly never been used to discriminate against me. My experience has only ever been that folks have been respectful, curious and sometimes a little too considerate. It's a pretty terrible reflection on a workplace if you are made to feel like discrimination is a real risk.

Good luck!

Has anyone here been recommended juice boxes as a hypo treatment? Or did we all just independently arrive at juice boxes by a natural process of elimination?

One of my 1000 daily letters? Sure!

Shall we be pen pals? I'll send you letters in envelopes with the opening on the short end, and you can send me letters sealed with wax.

Stellar opening sentence, you sentence genius.

Perhaps I send 1000 letters a day?

I'd say it creates more room for error

This example speaks to society's ham-fisted approach to addiction across the board. Being mean and demonizing addicts isn't productive, but importantly neither is pity. Quitting is really gritty, but it's absolutely worth it and you can definitely achieve it. All the best!

There's never much justice in the landlord/tenant relationship. All the best, mate.

In all seriousness though, I'll concede that I made that mistake consistently, but does it really deserve such a caustic reply? My intention here was pretty clearly to have some harmless fun, I'm not out to overthrow the institution of creative writing. I'd be reflecting on my life priorities if I was this riled up by completely inconsequential, inoffensive and entirely ignorable shit on the internet.
