For RationalMadman's education, given his apparent youth

@fauxlaw
The young actress whose whose name was forgettable and whose antics and charges against Weinstein made her poster girl for poundmetoo by saying, and I quote: "He asked me to take my clothes off, so I did."

Some people just take victimhood to a new level. That one was over the top
When a superior ranking person in a business you badly want to succeed in tries to pressure you to whore yourself out and push past what you're remotely comfortable with, just to avoid stepping on his toes it is indeed exploitation (or her toes, there haven't been enough 'hers' yet though but overall it's toxic masculinity at play here anyway).

You have no clue what it's like because from what I can tell you're just some average looking male who never really had people treat you like an object only useful for your looks to them, who you felt a need to impress and serve despite feeling 0% comfortable with what ensued.

If you call #metoo poundmetoo and type that to me, I'm not going to entertain it with a dignified response.

Fauxlaw made this thread because he's a misogynistic fucktard who is trying to turn some tables on me.

I am not in the mood for this.

It lists pound sign last because it's the least correct/relevant and is some colloquialism Americans wrongly attributed to it.

Ok Boomer, now let me educate you.

This is a hashtag: #

This is a pound sign: £

The Pound Sterling is the official name of the United Kingdom, it has been so before any keyboard existed and the symbol meant that from the start.

# used to be referred to as a hash key (not tag) as it would precede ID numbers etc. You and other American boomers using the term 'pound' for it is ridiculous.

The only reason to say poundmetoo instead of hashtagmetoo is to draw a vile and ridiculous pun that insinuates that the sexually harassed were asking to get 'pounded'.

Wait you mean hashtag metoo where you mocked sexual harassment as a fun thing?

It's a hashtag not a pound sign. This is a pound sign - £

Nepotism
I am kind of on the fence with this, despite being extremely meritocratic in general.

I see the issue with stopping nepotism hardline in some ways since it's an innate thing. If humans didn't want nepotism at all, like not even one bit, they'd support the state literally taking infants from their parents and raising them from birth to indoctrinate them to a pro-state agenda. Clearly, this isn't supported, people instinctively in our raw DNA as well as sociologically formed ethics have concluded it's better to have random variation in upbringing lead to unfair advantages of different kinds as well as disadvantages.

This then naturally extends to the idea that just like having the right friend can bag you an interview and lead to the interviewer preferring you as a candidate, having the right sister or cousin (etc) can as well. Furthermore, despite being very socially awkward myself, I've come to understand that people getting along in a workplace matters far more than competence if we talk long-term stability and joy of the human beings who work doing their work happily and enthusiastically so I understand how and why it's actually even objectively superior at times to have a less disliked, less competent worker as an employee than a thorn in the side of the workforce socially and emotionally who happens to be extremely competent and this may well mean that when it comes down to the final 2 candidates, one's good relations with a candidate play into their reasoning behind hiring them.

Nepotism isn't all that evil especially at the small-business and/or low-ranking level. It becomes more of an issue up-top.

If had to choose between letting one become president who would choose?
Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris.

I prefer Warren if she is given a viable capacity to compete with the well-funded elite but if she can't compete with her grass roots campaign fund, I'll accept the least evil option which at present is Harris. Harris is both eloquent, quick-witted and decently reasonable in her decision making. She is hard-carrying Biden despite his dementia to keep US far more serene than anyone though possible during Trump's management of Covid.

School choice
Schooling itself is what's flawed. You cannot properly help creative thinkers flourish in a regimented syllabus strict examination system.

Until we realise we can't ever have everyone ranked objectively, we'll begin to better analyse resumes and intelligence levels of creative students. Until then, they need to creatively endure the BS until they're adults and then make their own way in life if they can.

Gay 100%

Trans should not be allowed to deny outright anyone officially asking what their biological sex at birth was. If that's agreed and can be used for officially quotas, affirmative action etc to avoid gender being confused for biological sex (such as female vs male sex quotas) then I have no ossie at all with trans people. A male-sex athlete who identifies as female is still male sex, point blank period.

So Mormon = LDS yes?

What renders JW unequal to LDS then? I know I can use a search engine and already did, I am curious what 'Jehovah' signifies to LDS as opposed to JW.

Overrated Music Artists/Bands
The answer to this thread depends entirely on the 'type of fans' and why they rate the artist so highly.

Amongst certain groups Michael Jackson is waaaay overrated while amongst others he's pretty correctly rated as a 'good but not phenomenal' artist, which is what I see him as.

Amongst certain groups Tupac is seen as the god of rap, which he isn't as lyrically he was 'meh' but could he deliver it well and make almost anything flow good enough? Yeah, though his delivery was strongest while his flow was just 'good' not consistently 'WOW'.

Amongst certain groups Lana Del Ray is seen as AMAZING OMG while amongst others she's seen as terrible, both are wrong in my opinion. She's good at what she does and I appreciate it at times, though the vibe is a too sad and slow for me on a typical day.

It depends on the artist and who it is we're saying overrates them.

RHCP I love and would be part of the people overrating them for sure, I know I'm overrating them but would never stop doing so as I vibe hard af with some of their jams.

New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard to be first transgender athlete to compete at Olympics

@bronskibeat
I said peak. The entire reason there's a sex split in sports is peaks.

Peak Female athletes will destroy mediocreale athletes or at least defeat them dhe to their edge.

This is about how far the maximim can be pushed. Male bodies enable higher peaks physically in many respects. It's exactly this that limits the female athletes and is why we needed a female split.

You literally just joked about female genital mutilation and rapists (being to blame for their sexual assault) giggling in a courtroom where there's lack of evidence against them.

 for the same reason trans-men want to compete in cis-male sports.
The latter lose and are outperformed, always, 100% of the time. You will never get a Laurel Hubbard of the reverse trans kind outperforming peak cis male athletes at pretty much any sport other than perhaps gymnastics.

Find me an exception, this has been allowed especially in something like Marathons (a trans man officially competed as a male).
