Topic | UK NHS bans trans women from women's wards in hospitals. |
MrToothHasYou 05/03/24 5:24:44 PM #86 | Eat_More_Beef posted...
I can kinda see why. Now, maybe I'm ignorant in the subject, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but women's wards aren't about keeping women away from men for safety, it's because the doctors/nurses that work on those wards are specialists in the anatomy of a biological woman.This is sort of a misunderstanding of the NHS usage of the term ward. In the US a ward is like a department, a cluster of individual rooms for one or two patients all requiring the same kind of care and sectioned off from the rest of the hospital. In NHS hospitals, instead of having clustered rooms for individuals, generally have large rooms with 4-8 beds with privacy curtains and a single shared bathroom. These beds are under the supervision of a single head nurse, and the room itself is called a ward. Some wards are specialized (maternity, oncology, emergency, etc.) but even the general population are all placed in wards. Under the 2012 amended NHS Constitution, all NHS wards must be single-sex, with exceptions for certain emergency situations or wards for certain kinds of treatment such as chemotherapy. This means that if you are admitted to an NHS hospital as a general patient, you are placed in a mens ward or a womens ward. The new proposal would see that transgender women are not allowed to be placed in wards for women, meaning they would either be placed in mens wards, or they would have to have separate wards specifically for transgender patients. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 05/02/24 7:29:35 PM #30 | Because human doesnt have the same linguistic/etymological roots and origin as man and woman. Human comes from Latin, man/woman from Germanic.
Interestingly the same root of the Latin version (also where we get the prefix homo-) did also make its way through the Germanic languages, and into English, where we get the term groom, as in bridegroom --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 05/02/24 4:39:38 PM #54 | legendary_zell posted...
Often the order itself is violent. It's not moral to uphold that type of "order". Having "peace" while these colleges and our government are complicit in and profit off genocide is not the type of "order" we should respect. That order is the problem and it's what the students are dissenting against.Its such a cliche at this point but its basically the its all part of the plan Joker monologue. The people who have built this order love it above all else and will do anything to protect it, even if the order itself requires that children have their legs blown off by drone strikes, and food aid workers are killed in their cars. Only its even more extreme because you dont even have to do something as sinister as threatening to assassinate a public official for everyone to lose their minds. You just have to set up some tents where they have decided you should not be allowed. One small toe out of line entitles them to bring the entire apparatus of state violence down on you with total impunity. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 05/02/24 8:32:16 AM #4 | I think its true to some extent, that when faced with senseless, overwhelming violence and trauma such as is experienced during war, the human mind can have a tendency to search for some kind of greater meaning as a kind of coping mechanism.
I dont think it has any validity as an argument in favor of any particular deity or religion, however. Just because we tend to search for meaning in things does not mean that any such meaning is actually there. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

Topic | How do you feel about the protests on college campuses |
MrToothHasYou 05/02/24 7:44:11 AM #40 | Overwhelmingly positive opinion of the students putting themselves on the line to support the Palestinian people and protest the genocide being done to them. I could not be more proud of the way the vast majority of these very young people have behaved, and of their organizational discipline when dealing with counter-protestors, police, and especially hostile/adversarial media.
kind9 posted... Possibly a stupid question but what are these protests at American college campuses supposed to accomplish regarding a foreign war? What are these students going to get done here in America? Why don't they just go home and play Minecraft? Pretty much all of these Universities have either money invested in, or receive grant money from, sources tied to Israel, and in some cases defense contractors whose weapons are currently being used to ethnically cleanse Gaza. One of the main goals of these protests is divestment from these, and a transparent process from the school administrators in doing so. Here, for example, is a page listing the overall goals of the students protesting at Columbia University: https://cuapartheiddivest.org/demands No.1 FINANCIAL DIVESTMENT No.2 ACADEMIC BOYCOTT No.3 STOP THE DISPLACEMENT No.4 NO POLICING ON CAMPUS No.5 END THE SILENCE --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 04/23/24 3:41:32 PM #7 | Ive never worked a job where I had to sign a non-compete, but I do remember when I was playing in a band a lot of venues in bigger cities (big enough to have actual contracts with their gigs) included some kind of language prohibiting you from performing within a certain radius of the venue, usually like 50 miles, for a certain period before and after the date of your gig. I imagine those kinds of contracts would not fall under the same category since as performers you arent actually employed by either the venue or the promoter.

MrToothHasYou 04/22/24 2:40:41 PM #21 | Unfortunately sometimes when faced with the realities of life under the current state of capitalism, some minds turn towards conspiracy instead of consciousness. Sounds like this guy fell into that category.
WingsOfGood posted... Leftist believe Covid was a government created event? The idea (or umbrella of related ideas) that Covid is a global governmental conspiracy designed to foster dependence and compliance within the general population is itself reactionary, but its one that at least a few self-proclaimed leftists subscribe to. Jimmy Dore and his ilk come to mind. I would say if anything the real leftist conspiracy regarding Covid is that health organizations like the CDC ignored actual data and safety recommendations from science and medical experts in favor of appeasing the capitalist fears of economic collapse, resulting in national policies (relaxing of stay-at-home orders, reduction of quarantining restrictions, loosening of masking requirements) that caused an excessive number of preventable deaths. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

As soon as youre over the circle where you originally got your Shovel Claw upgrade, dig to pop an extra life container, then once you pop back up in the air you immediately fly to your left, and take the rocket on the platform there to the graveyard on top of Church Mountain. Fly forward and dodge the ghost to pick up the Skeleton Dog walking in a circle around the gravestone. Immediately open the menu and restart the level. Rinse and repeat ten times and now you have a full inventory of Skeleton Dogs to give to your chao to erase any small animal parts they have.

Topic | Why does people paying for Youtube cause such passioned debate but...? |
MrToothHasYou 04/22/24 1:06:17 PM #31 | I think its mostly just a sort of cognitive dissonance or mental resistance to the casual slide YouTube has been doing from being marketed/perceived as a video sharing, quasi-social media platform, to an on-demand video streaming platform.
For the first part of its existence YouTubes emphasis was on the You part. It was a platform when you could upload videos to share with friends, family, and the whole world. Users were both creators and consumers, similar to contemporary social media platforms like MySpace, Facebook, etc. Although users are still nominally able to upload and share whatever they want, the actual use-case for YouTube has shifted into that of a more traditional streaming platform: users are categorized into either creators or consumers, with marketing and financial models put in place to encourage and foster both populations (skimming enough money off of consumers via ads or subscriptions and paying just enough to content creators to keep them churning out content). In this way YouTube is no longer different than any other ad-supported streaming service. The difference is that YouTube used to function more like traditional social media, and still has some social media identity since anyone can upload to it. I think people would respond similarly, for example, if they started getting pop-up notifications on Instagram and Facebook asking you to pay $15 a month to not get ads while scrolling through Reels. And given how many of these user-driven social media platforms are quick to follow YouTubes lead (see the Tiktok creator fund), it wouldnt be surprising to see stuff like that happening more and more in the future. Grim stuff. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |
Topic | Did you like She-Hulk Spoilers |
MrToothHasYou 04/21/24 10:34:19 AM #21 | I didnt dislike it, but it was pretty forgettable. I liked She-Hulk as a character, but it felt like they never really figured out what they wanted to do with her, so the show just sort of meanders around until it comes to a not-really-that-satisfying conclusion.
I dont think it should have been that hard to make a good, funny courtroom procedural comedy centered around superheroes. Harvey Birdman pulled it off (albeit with cartoon characters rather than superheroes) with relative ease. If they had made She-Hulk like that, where each episode she takes on a different superhero lawsuit, with maybe some overarching plot sprinkled on here and there, people would be clamoring for a second season. I guess what Im saying is, if the most memorable moment of your entire season of television is your protagonist twerking with Megan Thee Stallion your show wasnt written very well. Dont get me wrong, it was a funny moment, I laughed, I enjoyed it. But if thats the peak of your show you are in trouble. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |
