  1. Chit Chat Zone

    Yep! It is a distribution center. So shifts can be like this. I at least get the three days off. Due to our staffing levels some do these hours, through OT, and still work 5 days. I was talking to a pharmacist online and they can do 20 hour shifts. She said she worked weekends but had Monday...

  2. Chit Chat Zone

    It is because I am rostered for four days a week and one of them is only and 8 hour shift. This way I can get my 40 hours still while also having 3 consecutive days off. It is how I can study part-time while working. Although these past two weeks the wheels have fallen off the wagon. So need to...

    I am at work. 2 hours down and 9 to go. 😅😅 How about yourself?

  4. Healthy 75-Year-Old Ends Her Life So She Won't Grow Old

    No, I am thinking of capitalism. It is a system which prioritizes the logics of capital and the pursuit of ever increasing profits over everything else. It is the framework through which it gives value and meaning to everything. Communism is very critical of this approach to life. It is a human...

  5. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Within the same post you got my stance apparently and then lost it moments later. I haven't exactly been hiding it. My stance is simply that the sociocultural and biological are not the same thing. That gender refers to the sociocultural dimensions of it and sex refers to the biological. You...

  6. Healthy 75-Year-Old Ends Her Life So She Won't Grow Old

    You are confusing communism for capitalism. Capitalism is the one that holds a person's worth is tied to the value they produce for capital.

  7. First game u remember playing?

    I think it was Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle. Only played it really briefly at my cousins' house when I was little.

  8. Is being funny a natural ability?

    No, it is a supernatural ability.

  9. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    A lot of Native Americans had different understandings and interpretations of gender. I wouldn't be surprised if some are/were near him as well.

  10. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    You are denying the historical and cross cultural variance in how people have understood, perceived and experienced gender. Your entire position in our disagreement has been that the biological and the sociocultural are the same thing. My stance is that they are not. Therefore sex and gender...

  11. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Except you have been consistently denying the historical and cross-cultural variation when it comes to how genders are understood and perceived. You are the one who is literally trying to mix up biology and the sociocultural by saying they are the same thing. I have consistently maintained that...

  12. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    And the way we interpret reality is filtered through sociocultural and historical frameworks. It very much applies to biology as well. Understandings of biology have also shown cross-cultural and historical variation. I am simply stating that our understandings and perceptions will be subject...

  13. Best Video Game to play?

    I am gonna cheat and change it to series, but Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy are two incredibly good series to play. Granted my time with Elder Scrolls is limited to Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. I do have a copy of the updated Daggerfall on GOG though. The free unity version. Still need to...

  14. Religion causes war or peace?

    My understanding of what they are saying is that religion is the medium through which societal evils are being advanced but not the cause of them per say. If I am understanding them correctly then that is a viewpoint which I would agree with myself. The role that any religion plays is going to...

  15. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    We actually don't. The way we perceive and understand reality is mediated through sociocultural That is an unrelated topic. All around the world there have been different societies and cultures with different understandings. These have changed and altered through the passage of time. So...

  16. Fav political leader?

    The denial of history over there is even worse than it is here. We have had recent amendments to our history curriculum for instance which will be addressing the negative aspects of our history more sincerely. Whereas over there it has been the trend to make that teaching of history illegal. Not...

  17. Fav political leader?

    Was he even a good man for his time though? There have been a fair amount of critiques now about his racist views and policies that he implemented. Especially concerning the lots of those living in the colonies.

  18. Fav political leader?

    I think that is sadly all too common with a lot of states in general and especially those which were involved in colonialism. As a settler colony we have our mythologized history which also whitewashes the impacts of colonialism here in New Zealand. Political or military figures who have been...

  19. Fav political leader?

    I have to admit to being quite surprised by your pick. I am not used to hearing about him for positive reasons. I am much more familiar with their racism and relationship to colonialism.

  20. FF VII remake treatment

    Yeah, I haven't played it but I am aware they changed things up a lot. But yes, that is what I was alluding to. Both in terms of the graphical overhaul and treating the source material as more of an inspiration from which they can take creative liberties. This applying to things like gameplay...
