Wokeism of the day *Revised Mod Note in OP and threadbanned users*

They would cover up and silence any such happening, woke things are to be 100% positive.

Jesus i'm confused - what's wrong with explaining something if you feel you know better than the other person?


Is that not the very basis of education?

Is it really that hard to say "I know that" or even "No you're wrong, here is how it really works"

I have these conversations daily, with men and women, even with my kids ffs. There's nothing wrong with teaching someone something, however small, and there's also nothing wrong with them teaching you - especially if you're bloody doing that thing wrong!

It all depends on the moon that day and mood.
I was dumped recently, it all started when my exe got a job she was looking for.
And I just said, that's great news hun... With your background you could climb the ladder if there's openings in the future.
I was accused of undermining her because I wasn't happy with her being a normal worker.... Then a few days later I wanted to borrow the carpet cleaner.... No and I suppose you want me to clean it for you too, and before you start I never asked you to do two days work on my garde over the summer.
You volentered , and don't throw back the fact that you...

I suggested we cool off for a few weeks and chill out maybe you're stressed...
Then she suggested that I sling my hook and she's had enough....
I slung my hook but that made it worse, because I was too nonchalant about her dumping me...

Ffs you can't win... Anyhow its over now and I dodged a bullet, enough red flags for a Cork all Ireland

Yeah I've been told that I show off what I know even when asking questions. I do it from the POV that it's way easier to explain something to someone if you know their level of knowledge beforehand so you're not wasting time re-explaining nor starting at too high a level.

Cordell

You're committing a microinequity just by knowing more, and like that's not enough you're showing off by explaining.
It's irrelevant that you were asked to explain, it doesn't free you from the privilege of knowledge.

Shur it only needs a change to the very specific law which outlines what constitues a pedestrian crossing, or 'zebra crossing'. It's easy to change legislation shur! But, would they be legal until the change is implemented?

S.I. No. 171/1962 - Road Traffic (Signs) Regulations, 1962.

Section 9(2)(c):

roadway markings consisting of alternate black and white stripes drawn parallel to the line of the roadway within the limits of the roadway markings described in paragraph (1) of this article and extending longitudinally to within approximately six inches of each of the said markings, each stripe being not less than one foot nine inches and not more than two feet three inches wide except the stripe at the edge of each side of the roadway which shall be not less than two feet and not more than four feet wide and shall be black in colour.

Gal Gadot getting grief online for playing Cleopatra.

Cries of “this is whitewashing!!”; “why is she not played by a stunning Arab actress??”.

Ms Gadot is half Israeli. Cleopatra was Greek. Both very south Europe/north Mid East.
