Sick of that fucking hippie Facebook? Fucking socialists. Well good news, you're not the first to notice! I mean look at this god damn liberal bullshit. Fucking liberals! But this socialism is okay? Well, since Facebook is clearly an absurd liberal myth, Patriotic Media is here to save us by starting https://www.teapartycommunity.com/. Don't pay any attention to the fact they blatantly stole the page design, that's not copyright theft or plagiarism, that's just the free market. Specifically, the page design is free if they don't pay anyone to do it for them. (Source: http://aattp.org/teapublicans-tired...ruthless-liberals-start-facebook-alternative/ )
Hell I don't even need to register because I can just log in with my current facebook account! Though if I do that I'm pretty sure they'll think I'm a liberal enema from some nigger loving jew farm.
You can! I don't recommend it. I don't know what happens when you do, but I'm pretty sure they get all your info and find out you're a damn Australian liberal. Also, that page still exists. https://www.facebook.com/getoveritboy. Even the URL is racist as fuck. Damn liberal Facebook, policing our words!
What would be really confusing for them is to find out that liberal here is like republican there. "Is he with us or not Cletus! I can't fuckin' decide! Fetch me mah gun and get ya cock outta ya sister! Gosh darn Strayin Libera.. labor.. uhg"
You have a godless atheist woman as president. They don't want Australians on Conservabook. You've already tried to infiltrate Conservapedia!
Spoiler tag added. BF needs to remain SFW, and regardless of how you feel about public breastfeeding many workplaces will trigger pictures of it as NSFW.
SOCIALISM. I'm starting a Broken Party Forum to get away from this liberal feminist oppression from this known liberal feminist. GO DRIVE A PRIUS OR SOMETHING. (My bad, I was thinking the LP's rating applied to BF in general and my own workplace has me fairly skewed on the subject)
Breast feeding shouldn't be NSFW, but I can definitely say that pumping makes me uncomfortable - ouch! /joking - but really we have some problems as a society - don't we?
Since we're on the subject, this could go here or in the open letter thread: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2013/feb/19/facebook-images-rape-domestic-violence Facebook deploys a textbook "Why you always gotta be so humourless? Dumb feminists." in the corporate style.
Says a lot about our cultural priorities when racism, rape, and child abuse are fine, but non-existent post mastectomy breasts are banned. Girl wearing pasties and nothing else? Cool. Breastfeeding even if you can't see her nipples and she's actually less exposed than the pasties girl? BANNED.
Fortunately my IT people are so second rate bypassing the filter (zscaler) takes about 30 seconds work modifying proxy settings. Fortuitously installing the latest firefox also breaks it.
I'm the IT guy, there is no content filter. I have a standing desk and the entire office can see my screen which they happily ignore when it's full of code but they always notice when, for the briefest moment, it is full of NSFW content. Thank you for the spoiler. :)
The problem is that when it's in picture form it's not breast feeding, it's a guy sitting in an office staring at a woman's breasts.
Yeah, exactly this. If there's a content filter in place you probably don't have too much to worry about, but if someone walks by when that happens to be on the screen, as dumb as it is the reaction is probably going to be "TITS! TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Add to that the unamusingly ironic reality that the presence of a picture like that in a workplace could actually expose the employer to a sexual harassment suit (because as every child knows, breasts = porn), and you're pretty much guaranteeing disciplinary action at many workplaces and outright firing at some.
Yeah, it's not a matter of what you think about it, but what the person filing the complaint with HR does.
I suspect breaking down a door would outweigh all other considerations. And I don't seriously think we can pretend that breasts = milk and go about our day. In that case penis = fluid release valve and I'm going in to work without pants. I'll let you know how it goes.
Well first of all I don't know why someone is going around the office pounding on locked doors while the people behind them hope against hope that the lock holds up under the onslaught. But to answer your question: no. As you say, you have a right to pump (at least in your state), and it doesn't really matter what that maniac thinks about it after he kicks your door down because you're doing something you're allowed to do. Looking at pictures of topless ladies is something you are not allowed to do in most workplaces. If you had been doing that when he came in, then yeah, you could potentially have a problem. And the thing is, you don't have to work at some crazy place for this to be an issue. If you work with just one of those doofuses who goes around turning magazines backwards in grocery store checkout aisles to make sure nobody sees a lady showing a little too much boob for their liking, you work at a place where someone could conceivably file a sexual harassment claim against you for looking at a picture of a woman breastfeeding. Yeah, you might have failed your sarcasm detection check on that one.
Do you not have that happen? It happened to me just yesterday, although it was at the drug store. I was in line at the checkout and someone had turned the Sports Illustrated around because it's the swimsuit issue this month. I corrected it, naturally.
Alligator, it's more the people going through and turning them around part that blows my mind. I shouldn't be all that shocked. A few months ago, there was a middle aged woman staying in the Portland State dorms who came into the Women's Resource Center, full of fury and sanctimony over the fact we provided condoms to the RAs, which were hung up in envelopes labeled with our info on them. How DARE we promote such promiscuity! We're telling people to have sex, when we should teach them abstinence, because that's the only safe thing and Jesus said and blah blah blah. But even knowing the HHR brigade is out there, I'm still startled that people would do something so asinine as to turn magazines around. Then again, there are people who tear down condoms from the dorms in a public school because of their religious sensibilities being offended, safety be damned.
Oh ho ho. (Jealous) So I notice this once or twice a month, maybe? I think I've only actually seen someone doing it once and I didn't ask them why they were doing it, but it's only ever magazines that have a sexy (or at least "sexy") picture of a lady on the cover. I've seen it all around this area, although it doesn't seem to happen at fancy pants stores like Wegmans. Whether that's because such stores have better clientele or just better employees I do not know. Anyway I correct it if it's in easy reach of wherever I'm standing around, but if I see it as I'm walking past I won't stop and fix it. I'm only one man after all; I can't defeat all the injustice in the world by myself.
When you said "pumping at work" I was thinking of something else until my brain kicked in. And why are you people browsing places like this while at work? get back to work, and nobody will see your smut.
To be fair, I've been in Portland for 5 months. I spent the last 14 years in Phoenix of all places, and still never noticed that kind of thing going on. Wait. I do remember noticing one magazine being backwards, but I don't think it actually had a sexy cover, I think it was just a lazy asshole customer.
I think the custom in Phoenix when you see a magazine cover you find offensive is to challenge the publisher to a duel.
I used to work at supermarket years ago. There was one guy who would go into every line, turn all the magazines with a sexy woman/man on them, buy something small and leave. He'd come back in a few days and do it all over again. Eventually management told him to stop, so he started screaming all sorts of crap about how we were pornographers and fag lovers and we were going to hellllllllll (paraphrasing).To be fair, I think he was also a little crazy.
RE: Magazines in grocery stores - do you guys have local stores where they actually put laminated sheets up in front of the magazine covers? I keep wondering if my local store is putting porn in the checkout lane, but sadly no, it's just Cosmopolitan or whatever.
Quite a number of stores in my area (suburb of Atlanta) do this. Fashion and Fitness magazines mostly. Oddly, the guns and cars magazines with hot chicks on the cover don't get the same treatment.
Well, you live in Oregon, which has more porn than any other 3 states combined, so presumably people have decided it is a wasted effort because there's just too much stuff to turn around?
