This poo poo has been going on since at least the mid-90s. '1 in 4 maybe more' and LGBTQUIM and separatist dorms were all over Yale in 94. Interestingly, rape accusations weren't a big thing yet, possibly because bougie nerds had not yet given up on sex entirely.

I'm glad the university where I work at has food carts. Can't get those at the small liberal arts colleges, sadly. They tend to be cheaper and the food tastes better than anything from the cafeteria. Of course, sometimes there's a bit of food poisoning roulette, but that just keeps things exciting.

Yeah, pretty much

For example, take this African-American professor of film studies just trying to do her drat job: http://www.salon.com/2015/10/28/i_w..._this_would_be/

quote:

I assigned a reading by Linda Williams, a chapter from her book, Screening Sex. It looked in intimate detail at the first blaxploitation film ever made– Melvin Van Peebles’, Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song (SSBAS). The chapter outlined (with pictures), the plot of the movie and all the sexual acts that were in the film. Williams’ argument is that Blaxploitation and SSBAS arose from a reclamation of masculinity by black men who were historically emasculated and castrated (think of the killing of Emmett Till).

I assumed everyone had done the reading. I showed one of the scenes that Williams’ writes about in detail. Before I screened it, I gave a warning, indicating that it was one of the disturbing scenes to which Williams refers. The scene shows a young Sweetback (played by the director’s son Melvin Van Peebles) having sex with a 30-year old woman. She finds him irresistible and thus starts the hyper-sexual evolution of Sweetback–every woman on earth wants to gently caress him, including a whole bunch of white women. This, of course, is statutory rape. When the lights went on and the scene was over, two students left the room in tears. I was perplexed. I started to ask questions about Williams’ reading, how it felt to read about and then watch the scene, what questions of race and masculinity it provoked. Crickets man, crickets. Clearly no one had done the reading.

Later that day, I had a white female student come to my office hours crying. Between picking up tissues and blowing her nose she said, “I’m doing a minor in African American Studies. How could your first images of black people be that horrible?” I told her that I understood her concerns. I went on to explain how the class was a historical look at sex on screen and as the reading for the class articulated, it was one of the first film’s to show black people having sex and was important to film history. She still didn’t get it. She said I had to show some positive images, otherwise it was unfair, that the other students weren’t African American Studies minors so they didn’t understand race politics as she did. I told her that I would bring a positive image to the next class to address her concerns. Finally, she smiled.

[...]

I also thought about a positive image of black sexuality and sex. I decided to show a clip from The Wire that shows Omar in bed with his boyfriend just after having sex, a tender moment where they kiss. Omar’s character, a black, gay dude who steals from drug dealers, is a revolutionary representation of black masculinity that stands in stark contrast to SSBAS. I was excited to show it. I mean, it’s The Wire: who doesn’t want to talk about The Wire?

I began class by talking briefly about learning through discomfort. The students were silent. I turned to them for questions about moments of feeling uncomfortable and how we could read these as productive. The student who came to my office raised her hand and asked, “Are we gonna talk about SSBAS.”

“Yes,” I said, “but I want us to talk about any of the films that made people uncomfortable. Let’s discuss the discomfort.” Her face fell. She started crying and ran out of the room. Her friend followed her. Right after she left I showed the scene with Omar. Later that day, she came to my office again, sobbing.

In addition to being disgusting on hot dogs, ketchup is cultural appropriation of a 17th century Chinese fish paste.

I think it's okay to be uncomfortable. We teach our children that they're special and important and life revolves around them then we're baffled when they demand special treatment as adults and they want everything to be perfect all the time and no one to ever say anything bad lest they burst into tears.

Like drat maybe teach them about getting their self respect and self esteem from within instead of relying on a perfectly constructed fantasy world.

When I was in school I used to cry and sometimes have to leave the room when there were depictions of the Holocaust and lynchings. But I'm glad that the idea of trigger warnings wasn't widespread back then, because I don't think I'd have been better off if I'd been completely protected from that material.

It's bizarre to me that students who are in social sciences would be allowed to close their eyes to uncomfortable truths. Isn't that what they're there to learn about?

There's a woman at my work who cries over every goddamn little thing. Someone asks her to do her job? She cries. Forklift training? Everyone else is done with the practical portion in 5 minutes, she takes an hour of being a sobbing mess to do it. Then she refuses to touch the forklift afterwards and just asks other men to do it when she needs it. She's also 40, obsessed with Disney, and spends all of her dating efforts creeping on younger guys at work who want nothing to do with her, which she then cries about. She calls our program director her "work mom" or just "momma" and has Tinkerbell poo poo all over her desk. It's objectively harder for every other woman who has to work there because of her and she doesn't even have a loving clue what she's doing to make it that way.

UCR has (had? dunno it's been a few years) some poo poo tier (like literally the same level or worse as my high school cafeteria food) crap in both cafeterias (which always served the same thing) and you only get 1 plate + sides per meal.

UCLA has 3-4 buffet style cafeterias run by actual chefs they hired and the food is no poo poo as good as or better than the average restaurant. I'd drop my friend off there on my way up from San Diego before going on to UCR basically just to hit up his cafeteria. I was also picking up an oz of weed to sell but really I could have done that in SD.

It was good food but it pissed me off every time because my tuition just got jacked up at UCR and ostensibly these are supposed to be public state schools but UCLA and Berkeley get a way disproportionate amount of the money the UC Regents take in.

The cafeteria also had 12-15 brand new (as of our freshman year in 2008/2009) flat screens, and all they ever had on were pictures from around the UCLA campus with a UCLA logo on top just on rotate. Just to rub in that they had the money to burn apparently.

My community college had a kickass grill, double bacon cheeseburger for $5 that was like a pound of meat and enough grease to give you a heart attack just looking at it. Only reason I didn't get fat eating there every day is because I was a teenager.

So I guess what I'm saying is you rich kid fucks get what you deserve from the cafeteria at your shitbag overpriced daycare centers.

Domino's is an American fast food restaurant, producing pizzas which are either named specifically after the toppings, or in the case of well known pizza types; has the toppings you'd expect based on the name. In short, they live up to their basic promise, expectations of quality is another matter entirely. That's pretty different from taking a dish and just replacing the component parts with what is at best rough analogies from your own culinary tradition, and presenting it as authentic. Which as I mentioned, is making a mockery of another people's culture. To the people who don't know the original, the imitation becomes representative of the dish it mimics, turning the "exotic" into merely a remix of their own culture, which is certainly not something to be encouraged. To the people who do know it, the fake is a broken promise, and a reminder that their culture is not worth the effort to even emulate unsuccessfully.

People in the town we grew up in thought my brother and I were Jewish because of the way I would flip out over the Holocaust. I wouldn't stop crying during Life is Beautiful, and Night and Fog nearly caused me to become catatonic. In reality, it was the opposite: my great-grandfather is a Polish war criminal who got away with his crimes. I'm just really sensitive.
