This is a link post Clearly this is worthy front page BBC news
But surely unless there are multiple Sam Smiths *shudder* the correct pronoun would now be 'it'?
 Title:
Sam Smith changes pronouns to they/them
Description:
The singer makes the announcement after having been "at war with my gender" for a lifetime.

If they want to be called by a pronoun that doesn't imply they have a gender they don't feel like they belong to, then fine. They seem to be being quite reasonable about it, rather than uppity and demanding.

This is a normal post I think the main objection to this sort of this
is not really to do with the pronouns at all; it's certainly not a problem to use a different set of pronouns for someone if required. When you consider what a pronoun is (a word to make it slightly easier to understand who or what the fuck someone is talking about). why would that ever really matter?

The objection is about to having to give even half a shit about someone else's genitals and/or genitally-related psychology. I don't care what shape your junk is, neither do I care about the shape of person you slide your junk into/over. I especially don't care what kind of junk you'd like to pretend to have, or have had / would like to have surgically constructed.

And a lot of the time that seems to be the purpose of these pronouncements... to make the whole world as conscious of their junk as it's possible to do without waving it around on camera.

People like this Sam Smith should be allowed to do what they like, and should not be persecuted or harassed for it, but more importantly they should shut the fuck up about it until someone asks.

This is a normal post I don't know.
Seeing gender as non-binary seems primarily a rejection of the idea of a "real man" or "manning up" and all that shit - which seems healthy enough. Not sure how much genitals have to do with it.

I'm just hoping it stops people assuming I'm a man so must like football.

This is a link post 'The coroner said it was clear that the teenager and his family were very vigilant about his allergies.'
Really?
"Excuse me, but I have a serious dairy allergy. If this meal contains milk or milk derivatives of any sort, I'll die. Can you confirm whether I'm okay to eat it?"
That's vigilance. Stuffing a meal into your mouth which is clearly more than plain chicken breast because you assume it'll be safe, is not.

"The menu was reassuring in that it made no reference to any marinade or potential allergenic ingredient in the food selected.
"The deceased was not informed that there were allergens in the order."

This is a normal post What has being a teenager got to do with anything?
Would it be more tragic if he was a little baby? Less tragic if he were an old man?
Somebody died. Boohoo. My point is that they *weren't* being vigilant as a family.
If you have an food allergy so severe that consuming anything from that particular food group will kill you in under an hour, you shouldn't really be eating out whatsoever.
Even if a meal explicitly states that it contains no relevant allergens, it's still coming from a kitchen where those allergens are in abundance. Nobody can guarantee zero risk of cross contamination.
Likewise, nobody can guarantee that the staff are going to give you accurate information about the dish. Even if the family *did* enquire about the ingredients, it's still not very fucking vigilant considering the circumstances.

The original reports on this case that I read both explicitly stated that the family assumed the dish in question was safe because there was no mention of a marinade. Again, not very fucking vigilant. Neither of these reports mentioned anything about the family enquiring about allergens.
No matter which way it played out, even if they enquired about the allergens in the meal, they weren't being very fucking vigilant.

My issue with this story is the growing inability of the UK public to take responsibility for their own actions. It's always somebody else's fault.
What's wrong with saying "Our flippant behaviour in regards to our son's serious food allergy ended in tragedy.", unless you're hoping for some kind of financial restitution, obviously.
 (Huw Edwards Digital ID is fine, shut up, Sat 14 Sep 2019, 6:59, Reply)
This is a normal post And so we go round the loop once more
Marinading is not cross-contamination. The allergen that killed him was an integral part of the dish, and should have been listed on the menu as such.
 (I helped save b3ta! wheresthefish Partly filled with wrong, Sat 14 Sep 2019, 7:34, Reply)
This is a normal post Correct.
In this case the marinade was plain old contamination.
My point is that even if the chicken had been nothing but a completely plain, unadulterated boiled fillet, there would still be a distinct chance of cross contamination considering its been prepared in a kitchen and handled by staff who also deal with a significant amount of dairy produce - its a fucking burger restaurant.
If you have a child with an allergy that severe, is it vigilant eating at a restaurant like that in the first place?

This is a normal post people with allergies shit me
nuts are a really healthy food which most of us could do with eating more of, but I can't give any to my daughter to take for lunch or snacks because maybe some other kid might take my daughters food and go into anaphylaxis so they're banned as an entire food group. I don't mind making allowances for people if it's a bit more work or cost, like building wheelchair ramps, but when their rare shit stops me from doing everyday activities they should fucking well stay at home. One of my favourite food is imperial mandarins when in season. Some sheila in the office claimed anybody eating citrus anywhere on the same floor gave her migraines so they denied me even that simple pleasure. So now they're going to force minimum wage waiters to memorise long lists of ingredients of each nightly dish, and kitchen staff to premeditate and record every single culinary decision down to each constituent component or get sued or charged with manslaughter. I did dishpigging a few times, and every cook I worked with was a fucked-up drunk barely holding it together.
anyway, rant over. I feel better now

This is a normal post I think that the point is
that any safety system should not rely on humans as they are inherently unreliable.

Allergen information should be presented in a common format to mandated standards. It should also be relied on to be complete. Unfortunately the law as it stands allows information to be presented in a wide variety of ways. Not all of them obvious or reliable.

Byron’s policy of having it at the bottom of the reverse of the menu (the small print), remote from the food itself, in a difficult to read text/background colour combination, and then relying on online staff training, looks more like they’re trying to protect the company instead of their customers.

This is a normal post The real problem is the huge upsurge in potentially fatal allergies some suffer from.
It never used to be this way. Why are there so many more people liable to such catastrophic reactions? I've Googled this before. No one seems to know.

The excessive cleanliness is a thing though and perhaps you need to bring the kids up in harshness like in Nordic countries where they leave them out in the cold a bit. You should then smoke all day like my parents did and I grew up in a fog of tobacco. I'm fine though ......... cough

This is a normal post According to my wife...
She ate many of the things they actively discourage mums-to-be from eating today. Mayonaisse, peanuts, wine, bananas etc, etc.
She says that this would introduce this to your unborn child and we wouldn't now have teenagers who die if exposed to a peeled banana.

As her husband.....it sounds logical to me.

This is a normal post I know one person with genuine gluten intolerance, as opposed to allergy
In their case, there was a recipe for something a few years ago (unfortunately I forget what) that previously was gluten free and they ate it fine, then one time they were violently sick after eating it and they went back to the shop to find out that the recipe had changed without telling anyone. Very different to being a fussy eater.
