  1. *Sigh* Youre not even trying any more. That doesn't address his point, let alone disprove it.
  2. Isn't "viewer discretion is advised" meaning that the viewer should check if anyone not supposed to see the movie (i.e. kids) can see it. What's that suppose to mean on a theatrical ticket? It's the same concept. Movie theatres already do this and if you look at the movie rating you'll see why it got the rating it did. You could easily do this in a book or whatever to give a forewarning of any upsetting content.
  3. I liked a recently ended show called the Strain. Before it started there would be "Caution, viewer discretions is advised" with information that it contained violence or sexual situations or whatever. Putting that of something similar on a play bill or in a book isn't a big deal and I highly doubt any warning will be more than that. Doesn't affect the programing and will probably be ignored for the most part.
  4. Well consider who is taking issue with it, it shouldn't be a surprise I guess Hollywood really was the Cultural Marxist Vanguard by using a rating system for films.
  5. I would have never thought the equivalent of a graphic content warning would be so triggering.
  6. One reason I'm glad my facebook is essentially just a burner I use for Tinder. As a small guy(175cm) I apologize on behalf of us short dudes and would punch the dude for you if I could.
  7. That sounds awful man, I think lying about stuff like this is as bad as doing said stuff.
  8. In my circle of friends it's 100%. Really damn frustrating, only one I knew about before was an almost gf that kept getting creeped on by her boss who almost got her fired when she told him to **** off.
  9. Give me her e-mail and I will send her that post squashed between Zizek talking about fisting.
  10. Not having an animancer companion was a tradegdy. The only two pro-animancy companions we got had some weak justifications for it and with animancy being such a big deal that was a shame.
  11. Just wait until he runs against Zuckerberg/Kanye West.
  12. I think Trump died in 2005 and has been reaninated by a cursed hairpiece.
  13. Money.
  14. Why? As mentioned previously we have such regulation when it comes to otber medical professionals and food, so why does diet get a pass?
  15. Warning labels are fine. disclaimers are fine. Hell even a license that says "This person knows what they are doing" is fine. Criminal charges because she didn't have that? Not fine. Caveat emptor. Don't tell consumers what they can and can't buy, or who from.So regulation is fine but enforcement of regulation isn't?
  16. So you're going to personally go down and inform them of what a dietitian does and how to recognize snake oil or have the big gubbermint do it with warning labels and disclaimers, or by empoering do you mean defending the right of snake oil salesmen to inflict harm to make a quick buck? Because as can be evidenced itt, various people already didn't know what a dietitian was and I doubt they would somehow acquire the knowledge to make an informed decision between medicine and snakeoil when under stress of sickness. We already do this for medicine, require food saftey, and have various other certfications and standards when health could be put in danger. Why shouldn't we apply the same to diet, where bad advice can also result in some signifigant damage?
  17. And that's been responded to. If she was offering an alternative to physical therapy as a "health coach" that was unfit and even harmful, would it be the consumer's choice to get injured from advice they didn't know was bad? So the assumption is the consumer is too stupid to make an informed choice?Yes? Why should we allow snake oil salesmen to inflict harm on uniformed customers who lack the knowledge on the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist? Are you so blinded by ideology you would let wolves devour the sheep if their sheepskin suit was convincing enough?
  18. And that's been responded to. If she was offering an alternative to physical therapy as a "health coach" that was unfit and even harmful, would it be the consumer's choice to get injured from advice they didn't know was bad?
  19. Which is what the numbersman has been talking about.
  20. Dietitians are practically licensed doctors, it requires a bachelor's degree, internship, and passing a certification exam to legally do it. There's a conflation with nutritionists, which while a common thing, shows an ignorance of what dietitians actually do.
  21. I'm not sure what's wrong about shutting down someone who isn't qualified to hand out dietary advice from doing so for-profit. Would you feel similarly outraged if she was offering tips on prescription drug usage? I didn't know, but looks to me like the requirements for obtaining a dietitian's license in Florida are quite stringent. That's a good thing. She doesn't get to do the same thing without undergoing proper training. What happens if someone's health is damaged from following her advice? As long as she is not presenting herself as something she's not what is the problem? Suppose you need new brakes on your car. The repair shop quotes you one price and I offer to do it in my backyard for half. Should the government be harassing me? The choice is always with the consumer. If you do a **** job on my brakes then I or someone else could die in addition to extensive damages to vehicles. Now we could blame the car owner for being a cheap bastard but if this keeps happening and damage keeps happening then perhaps the guy fiddling with brakes should be told to stop because he is doing so in a way that is creating a public health crisis. Now a bad diet isn't going to be as spectacularly lethal as a car wreck, but as the numbers man pointed out there are potentially severe health issues that can arise in a bad diet.
  22. Without the second how long do you expect the first, or fourth, or any of them to last? A generation? Less?Well I doubt the second is preventing the loss of any of them, Gadsen flag fantasies aside. Depends on how it is removed, but curtailing speech is a lot worse than doing the same with the kinds of weapons you can own. What's more dangerous? A bullet or a single misinformation shared and accepted at a global level? A bullet.
  23. That's really good. I know, I'm shocked it came from buzzfeed and assume he'll move on somewhere else because he's too good to work there.
  24. Buzzfeed of all places had a decent article on the origins of our alternative-friends
  25. Hegelian Dialectics.
