It’s a pain with markdown.

Americans also don’t use the Imperial System. We use US Customary. The fluid ounces aren’t the same size, for example. But the units have 5ye same names as Imperial units, which is a significant source of confusion.

Found the reddit link now I’m off work. I tried to reread it but I got to the part where someone asserted that antebellum chattal slaves didn’t have human rights and got too angry / frustrated / disgusted to keep going.

r/AskALiberal question “Do you believe in natural rights?”

InB4 “that’s natural rights not human rights”: I know the terms aren’t synonyms, but the concepts overlap so heavily, and some of the replies to the question were so vehement, that they read to me as a rejection of the validity of human rights as a concept in part or in total. I’m willing to be corrected on this, but if it gets heated I will (advance warning) probably get emotionally overwhelmed and need a long time to compose a reply.

I had this experience a short while back, and it really shook me. Granted, this was on the Internet, where people are more willing to say wild things or generally go mask-off, but I was downright flabbergasted. I’ll try to summarize the various arguments without inserting my own bias:

• because they view human rights as a social or legal concept, and not inherently more important than other social or legal principles

• because we as humans haven’t historically respected them, and don’t respect them universally even now, so demanding respect for human rights is a form of privilege

• because the idea of human rights requires a belief that humans have special dignity above that of other creatures (this one I found especially irksome, because I found the arguments denigrating to animal rights)

• because various groups advocating for human rights don’t agree on what those rights are, so blanket support for human rights is not something they can do

I’ll try to find the reddit post where this took place if I can. It was… it was something. If I’ve misrepresented any of the arguments above, it was not intentional but only because I find them so alien that I cannot understand them properly.

I’m a waitress. As long as you’re not making a mess, and you’re keeping company with people who are patronizing the establishment, you’re fine. You said you’re filling your own water bottle? Sounds like you’re making no additional work for the service staff, so don’t worry about it.

Well, and specifically, it’s related to the concept of an Indian giver: The warm weather is “taken back” and impermanent.

We could really use a Pete Seeger or a Woody Guthrie in times like these.

It would be easier for workers who are religious to take those days off; currently they’re often “blackout” days with regards to time-off requests.

It’s ubiquitous.

Perfectly put.

Sturgeon’s Law: 90% of anything is crap. Better to skim from the top than wade up a from the bottom, I say.

The right wing fears governments and the left wing fears corporations but really it’s ALL metahuman entities that are suspect and should be regarded as predatory until they can show otherwise.

Your question is not clear, post-edit. Can you rephrase?

I also love this calendar. It’s important to remember that “what day of the week is it” is an important question for at least two world religions, though, so months won’t always start on the same day of the week from year to year — but every month in a given year will.

I only turn it on to identify songs. I would never leave an open microphone running in my house or on my phone.
