Sharing this again for the song Rhodri posted about it, as a reply to this post. I reminded myself of it yesterday, somehow.

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

“Hazing rituals” - it’s bullying, and the hope is you’ll get so desensitised to it that you don’t fight it anymore. It’s propagating the stunting of emotional growth in favour of control.

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

I still think of that clip of some techdunce going “music is hard, you’ve got to get good at an instrument, hone your skill etc, and I don’t think they enjoy it.” It’s such a big tell, and one of the stupidest examples of projection that I’ve ever seen.

The dead-eyed soulless ignorance towards the arts & the desire to replace it with homogenised slop that they consider to be "just as good" is why it's good that these twats are all inevitably incels that women won't touch. Darwinism in action. We don't need them, we don't want them, let them die out

And these utter prats don't pause for one moment to think "how will this make me look to anyone sane?" I mean, just imagine this is true, for a moment. Just imagine being such an entitled arsehole that a couple of speedbumps make you uproot your family and leave the country that you claim to love.

I really am not a particularly violent person, and people are free to believe what they want, but anyone who stands in the middle of town with a microphone bellowing at people that they’re damned and need to repent should be sharply remonstrated with, ideally with a couple of housebricks.

I bought a pair of multi-pocketed jeans from a shop that specialises in workwear, and fuck me they’re the comfiest pair of trousers I’ve ever worn. As much as anything else, it makes me all the more cross about how decent high street shops have been bunglefucked out of existence.

"You will never defeat us" is a very funny thing to say after you've just bailed everyone who was involved in whatever the fuck this was

All five men arrested in RAF base plot are British nationals
The five men who were arrested and subsequently released on bail are all British citizens, home secretary Shabana Mahmood has just told the Labour party conference.

She adds that the scene is “now safe” and the residents living near to the RAF base are now able to return home.

“Let this be a reminder: you will never defeat us,” he says.

Another reason, back when I was trying to lease units was that by accepting a lower rent, landlords feared “devaluing” their property, in terms of value, and/or whoever their mortgage was with would have very strict conditions regarding this. Upshot: empty unit.
