I’m not super into porn and don’t really consume it. However, I am interested in fighting censorship. They will not stop at porn. They’re already labeling anything LGBTQ as porn so they can ban it. Sex education is already on the chopping block most places.
Whenever I see questions like this I remember this study: Video game experiment leads to insights into sexism .
TLDR is that it’s a skill issue. Lower ranked male players are more likely to be misogynistic than higher ranking players. Read into that what you will.
There is a legit theory in historical circles that Galileo Galilei was brcause he clearly didn’t understand some social conventions. Additionally, he was really ok with home arrest.
I was working at Payless shoes over a decade ago when this happened. I was brought in from a different store because turn over was so high at our downtown location. Everything was ok for a month or two then my till was short. That had never happened to me before, but apparently I had “miscounted” the coins at close. Never happened to me before but we are all human, maybe I made a mistake.
Next day I close and again my till was short according to the manager. There was 1 problem, just to show that it wasn’t me slaking I had sent pictures in of my count and the log sheets to the district manager just to cover my ass. Manager wouldn’t hear me out and took me off the schedule for the week.
I used what would have been my shift to hand out résumés. I was immediately hired next door at a different retail store. I walk 1 door down and tell manager I quit.
Now the fun bit comes in. Turns out I wasn’t short on my till. The manager was running a scam to keep his store numbers up and to skim some off the top as well. He would “buy” small items on his credit card and then reverse the charge on the credit card machine. So it looked like he was selling things, but he wasn’t. Even worse he would return these on later dates so he would get the refund money.
He would cover it up by claiming he had an employee theft problem/employee incompetence problem. If an employee stayed to long/annoyed him/got to close to figuring him out he would make them short on till on their shift like he did with me/something similar just to get them fired. He was caught partially because I sent in photo proof that something weird was happening.
Last book: The Apothecary Diaries 6 by Natsu Hyūga
Current book: The Magic Engineer by L.E. Modesitt Jr
The Apothecary Diaries series has been pretty good so far. Enough quirky characters and situations to not get to dark, but some definite darkness so it doesn’t get to sweet.
The Magic Engineer is the third in The Saga of Recluse series. Overall I enjoy Modesitt, but it also is clearly a cheap paperback fantasy from the 90s. It’s fun tracking down these second hand and they are fun reads. However, I enjoyed the first 3 books in his Imager series more.
‘Great’ doesn’t always mean good. It can just mean notable or remarkableness. (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/great). Gatsby the man was so known on so many levels it is actual theme/commentary within the book.
If I am clearly referring to myself (as in a text), I shouldn’t have to inlude myself in the sentence. Ex: “just grabbing food” vs “I’m just grabbing food”.
I am the kid that loves stories and reading. My feedback from teachers was that I was doing well with school, but read to much.
