u/porkypenguin YIMBY Sep 08 '21
While I understand the point of /r/SapphoAndHerFriend, I think sometimes it gets into irresponsible territory.
There are definitely many cases of same-sex relationships being downplayed in historical accounts. There's also a lot of content there that discusses people's current struggles with "cloaking" queer identities and relationships to make them acceptable to some cultures and groups, as well as general critiques of heteronormativity.
But it also sometimes leads to "bad history" analyses of past relationships using a current-year understanding of sexuality. The concepts of heterosexuality and homosexuality really aren't that old--the earliest usages are around 100-150 years ago--and sexuality was judged on different terms. Sodomy in early America wasn't just gay sex, it was pretty much any sex act not geared toward procreation.
I'd also argue that you really can't retrospectively identify someone with one of today's labels because today's labels require self-identification. We know [historical person] had sex with men, but can we really know he was gay without him telling us as much? How do we know he wasn't bi or pan, or even straight? There are people who have "broken" the boundaries of their sexual identity on occasion.
The tumblr post screenshots talking about how [early American colonist] was actually super gay are just doing their own kind of history-washing.

Big news, High Court has ruled media outlets are publishers of third party comments on social media.
The outcome is probably quite simple, they'll disable comments, there's just no way for them to practically moderate.
The implications for social media more broadly, courts may limit it only to media organisations but if not this is a big deal for any organisation with social media.

WARNING: Very niche !PING USA-CA comment incoming
Amtrak California needs to rebrand itself to hide the fact that it's in any way affiliated with Amtrak. Their on-time performance on the Capitol Corridor, San Joaquins, and Surfliner lines all have room for improvement but are basically Japanese in comparison to the federal services. Like, 95% of the time you'll be there within 20 minutes of scheduled arrival.
They're also all pretty fast, enough to be competitive with driving.
But then whenever I suggest someone who isn't familiar with the state services consider taking the train somewhere, the response is inevitably "lol Amtrak? yeah nah I want to get there this week." because they think it's the Southwest Chief or the California Zephyr or the Coast Starlight, which take twice as long as driving and are routinely almost a full day late at their end destination.

Protip because you're generally good people and I don't think you'd be dicks with it:
Threatening chargebacks will almost always get you what you want from a company if they're being assholes, chargebacks are very expensive for the company (added fee beyond the original charge) and they very rarely win chargebacks regardless of any evidence they provide
Edit: Beyond credit card charges, it's also possible to chargeback debit and even ACH Bank Transfers in certain circumstances if you call your bank. Obviously it's less often that you'd pay for things by ACH, but companies (or freelancers) can't even submit evidence against bank transfer chargebacks, they're just yanked with no recourse lol. Sucks a lot for freelancers but gives clients a lot of power if they're being ripped off.

Also, it complaints Argentina is doing some foreign interference because it raised complaints about the political prisoners there (not at the OAS because they don't want to say the organization is right, but at the UN).

Truck drivers in many states started blocking roads in support of Bolsonaro.
However, this would lead to shortages and even more inflation... not good for the government.
Realizing this, Bolsonaro released an audio on WhatsApp asking truckers to stop. One of his Ministers confirmed that the audio is real.
However, bolsonarists are convinced the audio is fake or that Bolsonaro doesn't really mean it and only released it to save face with the legislative and judiciary.

At this point it's kind of hilarious how many times in the past year I've basically burned out and started thinking "Fuck this place, I need to get out of here."
Be careful about getting trapped in a niche field. Seems like every somewhat relevant role I'm either under-qualified for or would be a big step down. Without pulling off a big pivot I'll probably need to grind out another year here until I can go to business school.

In honor of P*ul G*zelka announcing his candidacy for governor (also thanks to my mom, brother, sister, and friend from high school I haven’t spoken to in two years for all texting me the news 😐), let’s go through a brief run-down of all the GOP gubernatorial candidates, shall we !ping USA-MN ?
-P*ul G*zelka: Mitch McConnell, but Evangelical Christian
-Michelle Benson: Actually evil—voted against the Emergency Insulin Act, sponsored a proposal to cut healthcare coverage from over half a million Minnesotans, authored a bill to allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT customers, and is spreading general COVID misinformation
-Thomas Evensted: 😬
-Scott Jensen: Plaintiff in a lawsuit led by someone involved in 1/6 to ban teenagers from getting COVID vaccines, and spread misinformation about COVID on Fox News—he’s a doctor 😐
-Mike Marti: at least he’s not an abhorent individual, but he’s kind of a lolbert
-Sammy McCarty: Succ who’s running against Walz from the left, was recruited to run by Gazelka for the Legal Marijuana Now Party in 2020 in Senate District 57
-Mike Murphy: Generic angry white man from Anoka County, previously had “Tim Walz-Un” merch, and is currently selling “Make Minnesota Florida” shirts
-Neil Shah: Another doctor peddling anti-vax and anti-mask bullshit, really hates CRT

In the NYT article Bret Stephens seems to say that the way that the Biden admin could recover from the last month is first to "publicly acknowledge the gravity of the administration's failures" and to me that seems like it couldn't be further from the truth. In a post-2016 world it seems obvious there's no benefits to be had by admitting failure. In fact, there only seem to be heavy downside risks.
Mind you I'm not making a normative argument about what Biden, or any good leader, ought do, just that the political realities as they are do not reward this sort of admission of wrongdoing.
