I dunno; a bit harsh yeah? ALL opinions going forward are automatically invalid. Of all players and coaches.
Plus! The OP didn’t hear a dissenting opinion; doesn’t mean it wasn’t internally shared and/or debated.
The amazing detail on this wedding cake 7 comments

Maybe it opens and the real (delicious) cake is inside? Or there’s other cake? Please. I put on a dress, I brought a present, I sat by people and danced AND made nice. Where’s my sugar rush??

Dude. Glasses are not authoritarian. They are an aid for people to see, because their eyes are shaped wrong.
I think you might consider if your definition of authoritarian is not unnecessarily draconian.

Also - and this is me being annoying - if you’re going to break down a metaphor, do it all the way or leave it alone. Otherwise, you look self-serving in your logic because it stopped at a ‘fun’ place for you to comment. To me (perhaps I’m wrong) it appears that rather than thinking through the entire situation, you saw the intention, went down 0.005 mm, and stopped. That proves only that you don’t like the concept or you’re a brat, not that you are good at considering things.
To be fair, I do like the point of this metaphor so I may be interacting with it from that perspective, same as you are interacting with it from yours.

Guys, I think the rundown nature of the original fence is to indicate that this is not a professional sports team or a game you would have to pay to watch. It’s more reasonable to assume it’s a community, youth, or otherwise free game.
For various reasons, these individuals are outside. It’s not guaranteed that they are trying to see a game for free that has a price. Additionally, the fence is not removed. It’s replaced. That indicates the field’s management removed the barrier. (This is obviously not a metaphor for tearing down current societal structures, just fixing some.)
The poignancy of this metaphor is partially due to the people wanting to see, to participate not on the field or even in the stands. Just participate at all.

Further point! When systemic barriers are removed, additional personal inequalities or hinderances may come to light. They were there before, but the general access limitations caused them to be pushed to the margin. Now there is a better environment and we can work on these other issues.
It’s not a failure when new issues crop up after progress is made, in other words. It just means more work is needed, and that the progress was good.
It can be easy to dismiss progress because it can feel like there are still complaints. But they are “better”, less extreme complaints. That means they can be both celebrated as progress and addressed as important issues to be solved.

Princessmonstertru - Yes, that’s great! If there’s additional inequality to be addressed, let’s address it. Since this is a metaphor for participating in more important things, let’s take that path.
YES, if someone needs glasses, then they should get them so they can participate on equal footing. (Maybe not contacts or Lasix (to speak to that point) but yes, vision correction is necessary to bring the vision-impaired like me up to level.)
YES, if someone had physical limitations, accessible public spaces benefit those individuals greatly while not interfering with anyone else. Ramps, stairs, automatic doors, plentiful seating and handrails; all good stuff. For everyone. In this particular example, for instance, a bench would help the person with bad knees as well as be an option others can use or not.

I was hoping this was fake or unrelated, but it was widely reported. From mirror (in the UK);
Mr Winstanley...was held at gunpoint during a robbery in May last year.
The inquest was told how his fragile mental state further deteriorated following the sacking until his eventual death sometime between February 11 and February 13 - nine months after the gunpoint incident.
Speaking after the hearing at Blackpool Town Hall, his devastated step-daughter Siobhan Winstanley, 28, told how she had written to Tesco about her father’s death but was told the matter was closed.
She said: “It is very raw and very difficult for us to come to terms with.
“He was of the very strong opinion that [suicide] was a selfish thing to do, so obviously it’s not something he would have done lightly, knowing he had children.

I feel like a plastic surgeon who participated in this would risk being disbarred (or whatever it’s called) but I can’t deny she looks super happy. You go, lady.

It’s to minimize wrinkles and avoid looking stupid. Taking on an adult baby in exchange for money/ security/ whatever requires obviously intelligence and being quick on your feet, but it also requires a certain amount of self-hate or previous grooming to center yourself on someone else’s opinion. Thus having a consistent look that’s above reproach would be something she would have figured out a long time ago.
(The examples I can provide from her work managing him are of course depressing to me personally but I see the skill involved. This type of alliance is kind of like a nanny gig? Except more volcanic. It’s similar but different. No hate or shade at anyone who chooses it.
All shade naturally at someone who has chosen to be managed over being useful, but I have highly limited personal experience with this type of male so I just try to ignore famous ones since I don’t know anyone this useless myself.)

Not so funny now, is it Mr. Satan? 6 comments

Sure - just take away the feeling of orgasm without removing anything else. Or could also make at least one time randomly humiliating (which can be done in several ways with very limited effort).
For people who center sex strictly on themselves, it would be crushing. Sounds like a self-generated hell to me, very efficient for Satan. Let’s go.

That annoyed me so much!! What the heck. Just say “Soylent Green is MADE OF people.” It’s two extra words.
I know the point is he shouts in a people-filled void and it means nothing, but he ought to earn it! Not fail to make his point by being ungrammatical!! Gah

The goal at that point was to get revenge, which she did. Later, she killed the Night King. Once things were settled (and after she’d enjoyed time with her family) she left for many epic adventures.
She didn’t become supreme ruler but that wasn’t a goal of hers.
Idk, I think the no-name thing ended up very fruitful for her. To me, it goes real well with the concept that if you pursue your interests with passion and determination they will take you places you want to go.

Hopefully she would say ‘woman’ or ‘lady’ instead of the degraded word ‘bitch’.

No, Columbus didn’t think the earth was round. Like most educated people, he knew it was. The stories they tell in school are very limited and follow a particular narrative that was dominant at one point.

@dcottingham Ok, US-centric opinion: US and EU have the will and ability to be at a much lower percent. To use a tired phrase, US and EU are “developed” in the sense that we’ve been at this for a long time, whereas India and China are still getting to where US and EU have been. And why? Because US and EU spent a lot of effort and time holding many countries back. India and China both have amazing individuals and advances in every area. Just they were (and are) messed with.
(Side note!: This preaching about reducing emissions sounds like the same nonsense as US scolding China over IP while ignoring our own history of rampant IP theft. Could China do better? Sure. Do we have the moral high ground over IP or resource use? 100% Nope!)
US and EU can and should cut emissions. Period. China and India should cut emissions in balance with other priorities.
