Knormal posted:For anyone who hasn't heard the story beyond just her name, Typhoid Mary's a really good analog to the modern anti-quarantine protesters. Even after she was identified as the carrier and informed what she was doing she wouldn't stay in. She just really loved spreading typhoid. I remember reading about Typhoid Mary a few months ago and thinking "I can't imagine anyone being this selfish these days" and boy the last few weeks have really opened my eyes to the amount of garbage people I live with.

nexus6 posted:Aren't pretty much all those points either demonstrably false and/or twisted from what he actually said/did? Also, love that he refuses any debate at all from the outset. I read the one about the hospital ships and that's where I already bailed. Those things have been ready and active across the world for literally decades, there's no "getting them ready". A 3 year old also asks a lot of "Why" questions and it doesn't make them smart either.

SerialKilldeer posted:There's also some Christians who claim that Christianity isn't a religion, but a "connection to God" or something along those lines. I'm not sure what the difference is supposed to be. It's the convenient way in which they can still label themselves as a Christian (and therefore Are Good People) without having to actually bother with pesky Christian tenets that require effort, time, or sacrifice.

Hollandia posted:Actually, while this is relevant, what's the Eco quote about the way fascists use language? Was talking about it with a mate today and couldn't find it. Did you mean the Sartre quote about bad faith arguing? “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

RoboRodent posted:Genres are fake. Sometimes you'll get a science fiction setting but the actual story is a murder mystery or a horror. A lot of science fiction is straight up westerns in space (the term "space opera" comes from "horse opera" which is, no poo poo, an old term for westerns from when they were contemporary stories). The line between fantasy and science fiction is almost nonexistent, based more along the lines of what we think is and isn't possible, but that's arbitrary and tends to change over the years anyway. I don't know what mission that poster was referring to, there's no main line mission(s) where you're forced to work with cops. You can do optional side gigs by tracking police scanner jobs where cops pay you (you are a merc after all), but nothing mandatory as far as Ive seen. Arsenic Lupin posted:

Have you tried those enchroma glasses, out of curiosity? They don't work for all types of colourblindness but I think they have specific ones for deuteranopia, a friend of mine has it as well and had good results with them. Not for everyday wear but for enhancing some stuff.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Yeah, I feel like Netflix has cracked the code. Just give people the option of subs, dubs or both at the same time who even gives a gently caress you can enjoy it however you want. Netflix is more like "We have a ton of shows for you! 2 have the subs in your language, 1 only has them in English, 1 only has Japanese captions and the others only have French subtitles". I dont know if thats just more region licensing fuckery or just Netflix being stupid about which subs to allow in multilingual countries, but its really annoying to find a show you like and then the only subs available are of no use to you.

I don't understand why the choice has to be "company can take money out of your bank" or "1960s paper checks". Can you not just wire money from your own account to your landlord/utilities manually?

History Comes Inside! posted:Why would I do either of those when I can just tell the bank “pay this much every month”. That sounds like a recurring wire transfer, rather than a direct debit ? According to what I can find DD does in fact authorise the company to initiate a transfer: https://gocardless.com/en-us/guides/intro-to-direct-debit/guide-for-payers/ posted:A Direct Debit authorizes someone to collect payments from your account when they are due - for example, an accountant collecting a regular fee from you, or even Netflix collecting your monthly subscription.
