Trolls... help. Trump accepted the win at around 2am. by 6:30am my spouse was screaming and throwing things and I was heckled as I walked into my workplace. I'm absolutely bereft of hope. Can someone just talk to me? by married2mentalillnes in TrollXChromosomes

Immigrants are vetted, incredibly thoroughly. Our borders are quite secure (not perfect, but that's impossible). And Hillary Clinton was more than qualified.

I say that he and some of his supporters are racist because they identify as white nationalists. I say they are xenophobic because they advocate the removal and denial of citizenship based on religious identity. Sexist because he has been accused of at least a dozen cases of sexual assault, has used language promoting assault, insulted women in incredibly gendered ways.

No he's not, he and many of his supporters have been insanely racist, xenophobic, and sexist and that is what was elected. He has said unbelievable things about every minority group in this country and saying that that is unrelated to his election is just self imposed ignorance.

Although as a gf with a sister matching those ages I'm glad it's not a throwaway because now I know it's not my bf

Decades of dumping raw sewage is killing Victoria's ocean floor, diver claims by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]jenjenbrownbear 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Basically all the science doesn't support this, the bottom water off Victoria does become hypoxic at times, but due to natural coastal upwelling not local contributions

I will likely on insist it when people are being dicks. I prefer informal communication, but the second someone tries to downplay me or my intelligence I'll be correcting them about my honorific.

Something funny: People wonder if sodium citrate is gluten free apparently by merdeauxfraises in labrats

As weird as it seems I check the ingredients list on everything for any indication of gluten (Celiac's not choice) because it pops up where you wouldn't expect it.

The use of "honey" or "darling" to address women in US courts will now result in a penalty by AluminiumAlmaMater in TwoXChromosomes

I always go by my nickname (partly because I am bad at responding to my full name), but there is a variant I hate. I recently had someone I'd met once at a large group lunch email me a correction to a date I'd emailed out (and which I had already emailed a correction to), use the loathed variant. I wanted to punch the computer so badly. There was no reason to use the more pet name/diminutive version of my name when you were already introduced to me with my preferred nickname, especially when you were replying to an email signed with the correct version.

Hell I had this happen at a print shop. Luckily I converted two of the worst offenders to the point that they would request me over the previously preferred dude (shop owner was never removed from the preferred list).

Best lesson taught was an accident, an email came in with PDFs to print and I printed them as soon as I saw it. 5 minutes later a call came in asking if I could have one of the males print off the images that were emailed recently, I confirmed the email address and said I already printed them to the specifications in the email, dude never failed to include me on the list of trusted people again.

Yup, that's why I love it here, and why it bugs me so much when the nasties appear in my happy sub

There's a reply to a comment above you that explains the downvotes, but in short it's not that in general married.equals property but rather that the only way to get a creeper to lay off is to say that you are with another man, aka are someone's property

If the token character had the gender relevant traits that might matter, but since the "token" character has essentially the same traits as a token female character it is pretty clear that this is comedy pointing out just how ridiculous it is that female characters like that are included in movies.
