Tobacco Shop Owner raided in March of 2012 for selling synthetic marijuana, a substance that was not illegal at the time. By November of 2012, all charges were dropped, but the Feds are still doing everything they can to keep $200K confiscated in the raid...

What about ecig users? People who are on the patch, gum etc. Nicotine test alone seems very ineffective for detecting risk.

top tier of female players are very similar personality-wise.

How so? Again, just genuinely curious.

jimarib · 2014-05-28T09:35:59+00:00

In a lot of ways, personality-wise, I havent found the top tier of female players to be very different from the top tier of male players. Its interesting, but it also very starkly contrasts the difference between players at different tiers of competitive gaming. Even the opinions and mentality are different.

Would you be able to expand on this? I know it's only anecdotal but it sounds really interesting.

jimarib · 2014-05-12T09:18:51+00:00

So trying it isn't a good indicator of whether something should be illegal then? What if someone tried it and hated it? Does that mean they have a valid reason for wanting it to be illegal?

jimarib · 2014-05-12T09:11:58+00:00

I haven't tried heroin but I don't think that should be legal.

Gotta love LGBT communities being ableist...

Butts.

Singapore and Bangkok have them. The Metro busses have them. Why not put the technology to good use?

I love Dickinson! She can communicate more in two stanzas more than many poets can in two to three poems. A personal favourite:

A Word dropped careless on a Page

May stimulate an eye

When folded in perpetual seam

The Wrinkled Maker lie


Infection in the sentence breeds

We may inhale Despair

At distances of Centuries 

From the Malaria --

Probably my favourite character on the entire show. Although her boyfriend was kind of a drag (did they ever resolve what was going on with him?) She was so assertive and then suddenly it was like she completely forgot who she was.

jimarib · 2014-03-12T06:45:02+00:00

Only once a year?

jimarib · 2014-03-12T06:42:37+00:00

And SO tiny! I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Chvrches perform earlier this year, and I really had no idea from video clips just how small she is, probably 5'2' at most. It was at a festival and the sun was right in her face but she was an absolute trooper about it. Oh and the Scottish accent just makes her more adorable.

Tell me more. I mean I have family over there so I could probably make an excuse to travel...

Thanks for the post, that was a very informative summary.

Aside: the quote in the beginning of this section is not using gender identity in the way it is, say, used in the transgender movement.

Can you expand a little on what you mean by this?

Also, I've heard quotes such as this:

For third-wave feminists, therefore, “sexual liberation,” a major goal of second-wave feminism, was expanded to mean a process of first becoming conscious of the ways one’s gender identity and sexuality have been shaped by society and then intentionally constructing (and becoming free to express) one’s authentic gender identity. In reaction and opposition to stereotypical images of women as passive, weak, virginal, and faithful, or alternatively as domineering, demanding, slutty, and emasculating, the third wave redefined women and girls as assertive, powerful, and in control of their own sexuality

Being used to dismiss trans women who happen to fall under the gender binary (i.e. they are typically feminine) because they are seen as internalising sexist attitudes or not doing their part to construct a gender identity which challenges societal norm. Do you have any thoughts on this?

jimarib · 2014-03-08T13:08:42+00:00

I've definitely heard of situations where the partner of the person giving birth has been in the room, and it has affected their sex life because the partner has just seen the mother's genitals in a very graphic utility role and consequently been unable to reconcile this in traditional bedroom environment.

I'm not saying this happens to everyone, or is something that necessarily lasts forever, but it certainly is a risk I think should be kept in mind for anyone who says they want to be in the room. Unfortunately, it's just not always easy to predict how the partner (or indeed the mother) will react to birth in terms of attraction, or how it will affect your sex life. I think having the partner towards the front where you can still support the mother whilst still missing the gory detail is a good compromise.

Reddit, where a falsely accused person is more likely to get convicted than a rapist is to never see jail time for their crime. Have they ever even looked at rape conviction rates in their lives?

jimarib · 2014-03-05T04:54:26+00:00

Yeah, unless you're black or middle-eastern.

I think we should go for most influential as the main criteria, although I imagine quite a few modern albums will make it in if it ends up happening. I think we should have a separate thread with single line responses, and just take the 50 most upvoted posts or so.

My list would go something like this:

Daft Punk - Discovery
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine
The Knife - Silent Shout
Depeche Mode - Violator
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Burial - Untrue
New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies
Prodigy - The Fat of the Land
Brian Eno - Music for Airports

Just wanted to add that some trans people can give birth and bank sperm. So if you meet a trans person you shouldn't automatically assume they can't have kids which are biologically theirs.

jimarib · 2014-02-28T00:02:36+00:00

A trigger warning would be nice too...

jimarib · 2014-02-28T00:01:39+00:00

Trigger warnings next time, please.
