Facial disfigurement: 'Restaurant asked me to leave over condition'
  • Not the person you were talking too, but I think where you're losing people is that no one else is looking at his face and thinking "measles"...there is a picture in the article and that's not what measles looks like...at all. In any way. Your continued insistence that it "might be contagious" when no reasonable person would come to that conclusion really makes it look like your trying to use an excuse to be uncomfortable with the guy for daring to be in public.

    Also stop trying to equate this with coughing. No one whose made it to adulthood thinks this guy has any sort of contagious pox, that not what they look like and it doesn't take a doctor to know that.

  • Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
  • A lot of people would consider that good...not worse. Like the UK has a cap on the amount of money and time that some campaigns can be. That allows candidates who aren't flooded with money to have more of a chance at actually being elected. It helps make the formation of a two party system run by the Koch brothers less likely...

  • Gen Z Truth Rule
  • Most of Gen Zs slang makes sense and you can easily figure it out from context. It even sounds better than older slang in conversation. Skibidi is an exception. W.T.F is that supposed to mean? Is it a verb? An adjective? Both? It sounds dumb and seems to mean nothing...

  • NaNoWriMo is in disarray after organizers defend AI writing tools
  • Nanowrimo is already in flames because of last years 'groomer mod' scandal. Why would they choose now to weigh in on such a controversial topic rather than working on filling all the staff vacancies, rebuilding trust in their community, and developing new volunteers to replace all the ones they fired and ghosted? All they've got to do here is keep their mouths shut and rebuild the damn organization and they can't even do that...

  • What is going to happen when AI becomes extremely advanced?
  • So similar stuff has happened throughout history with the coming of more advanced technology. There use to be entire rooms of secretaries in order to do clerical work that has been replaced by Microsoft Office Suite. Their replacement by technology did not cause a total collapse of society so I don't see why this would?

    It might make the world worse and drive down the standard of living for many but a total upheaval? If humans made it through the industrial age we'll likely make it through the second technology age too. We won't be unscathed but mankind survived the invention of the computer which was probably equally (or maybe more) disruptive.

  • Racism Is Why Trump Is So Popular
  • It's only in the past few years that "two or more" races became an option on most demographic forms. Even into the early 2000s most demographic forms only let you pick one category so you had to make a choice. The 2024 number may more accurately account for mixed race people but there is no way that 80s number does at all.

    Source: was a confused mixed child asking adults which I should pick on official forms and just got shoulder shrugs and hand waving from them.

  • Indian airline tests feature that lets women book seats away from men
  • It's not the job of women to put themselves in potentially dangerous situations for the betterment of men. Women not wanting to be easily assaulted is "hurting men" is a disgusting take and says some truly awful things about you.

  • Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of rape is booed again, louder, in second match of Olympics
  • That's not how double Double Jeopardy works (Netherlands also has a different name for it). It prevents you from being tried twice for a crime for which you've been acquitted/convicted. It does not prevent a country from refusing to have you represent them on the world stage.
