2018-07-20 at 9:59 PM UTC in Legal Question-USYeah, you can be fired for no official reason. If you get fired for the reason that you had track marks you can _try_ to make the case that it's discrimination but you'd have to get a lawyer and I have no idea how likely that is to work. If you think your employer might try to fire you if they found out it's better to just keep them from finding out. Alternatively you could try talking to your boss and getting in front of it, telling them that it's in the past. I imagine most people aren't such assholes that they'd hold past drug use against you as long as you're not planning on shooting anything up going forward.

2018-07-21 at 2:50 AM UTC in what is standard input redirect linux <I've never actually used it to do something useful, like there are plenty of use cases for redirecting input to stdin but I always cat a file and pipe it to the next process and that way you don't have to puzzle over the operator precedence. I imagine it's mostly there for symmetry with output redirection. There may also be an argument for keeping what's core functionality of "read file to command's stdin" in the shell codebase rather than a util codebase.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Enshrining it in vaguely worded law isn't going to change much.

Thanks HTS for taking like the time to find something to count as evidence! This is a lot more pleasant than "I got the ebidence i just aint gonna show it".
So let's review that study. Right off the bat we can read the methodology and see the sample is mensa members with IQ test scores in the top 2% of general population. This already means _no_ finding from this paper will support the claim that "direct correlation betwen intelligence and mental illness" since it surveys only one extreme end of the intelligence spectrum.
You might think this is being pedantic but it's important because saying two values are directltly correlated implies that fixing one skews the distribution of the other. More concretely, if we accept OP's claim we'd be comitted to the conclusion that if we sample the mentally ill we'd find their intelligence was above that of the general population. This is something the paper you linked says nothing about, only that the highly intelligent have mood disorders more often than the rest of the population and the social implication of these two things are very different.
It's also worth pointing out that there's no effort to control for the bias implicit in Mensa membership. I'd be surprised if people who joined mensa _weren't_ depressed and autistic at higher rates than the general population.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Where is it accepted to sexualize little girls like that?
Historically in US advertising. One of the most obvious examples was that "baby soft" deodorant:
Now admittedly this is a relatively old example, and a real stand-out in terms of obviousness but I think it illustrates the point that young women are not beyond the reach of the "sex sells" paradigm.
Actually I think the obviousness of that sort of advertising in sexualizing young women almost renders it inert because in retrospect it's so obviously perverse. It's the subtler sorts of advertising, the kinds that are easy for kids and adults alike to passively internalize, that's more insidious. Consider the current "Barbie Fashionista" line of dolls:
Despite the preppy announcer reassuring us that "you can be anything" at the end one can't help but feel like this is a campaign to sell a fairly narrow set of adult fashion to young girls. This has been a fairly successful line, while you generally wouldn't put your young daughter in adult fashions for obvious reasons this doesn't mean she hasn't learned to want these things through a constant bombardment of advertising telling he she should you can at least buy her a doll to dress up in said fashions. The purpose of these dolls is to satisfy (or foster) childhood interest in adult fashion which obviously rotates about an axis of sexuality and sexual objectification. Socialization is the process of turning children into socially acclimated adults, girls into women, and women in our society are advertised to essentially like the dolls we see in these commercials: blank soulless plastic upon which to plaster rotating fashions that they might appease our (or worse, their own) sense of aesthetics.
Also notice the inclusion of different skin tones and body shapes. On their website Mattel pitches these dolls as "Barbie Fashionistas Dolls: Curvy, Petite, Tall & Original Barbie Dolls". Notice the physicality here. Despite recent efforts to be more inclusive one can't but feel like this is nothing more than extending the same vapid culture of barbie to new markets. I'm not sure what's worse: being a young women in a culture where mass media doesn't consider your body type attractive or being a young woman in a culture that does and subsequently being reduced to that.Young boys are just as much encouraged to fulfill the stereotypes of their sex.
There's no doubt about that at all, and I think many of those stereotypes are wholly as harmful as those we project upon girls. My point wasn't "girls have it tough so sexualization of boys is OK", my point is that it's amusing that we are only shocked by adolescent sexualization when we see it in boys. I think most of us wouldn't want our daughters/sisters/nieces doing the same thing, but would anyone really be surprised or respond in the same way to a young woman dancing in a similar fashion? I mean you're probably going to say "yes" for the sake of argument go on youtube and see how many videos you can find of pre-pubescent girls vs. boys engaging in this kind of behavior and tell me we don't have different social expectations about it.Good looking was never really a male trait until everyone starting recoding themselves all the time and realized how ugly they are compared to the people with the clicks and views and followers.
Sure, I can get on board with this. Out male stereotypes typically have been far more forgiving in terms of how good looking you have to be to fill the male social role. Look at historical A-list actors vs. actresses. Way more of the women were considered stunning while down right ugly men used to be able to be successful in the highest level of cinema. -

Where is Zoklet. Is his name really Burks? Is Darryl him, but Darryl really is fake?
where is your little buddy, Victor at. him and his buddy sent me info on how to set up my own dialup board. but then some asshole tried to upload packets of newsgroup that were game files and use my computer as a dump site for gawd knows what else. so I pulled the plug on it.
I wonder if &TOTSE is somehow a play on the word AT&T
Victor and Darryl are different people. Vic worked with me down in Panama on a CIA job in the 80s, I don't know who Darryl works for and I don't ask, I aussume not knowing is a matter of both personal and national security.
Zoklet is Jeff Hunter but not Zok. The FBI psyops made him that way although he got into the 9/11 stuff with me before that went down.
You might wonder why I'm telling you all of this, but see I didn't actually write it, you imagined this post in a conspiracy theory fuled deliria, actually this post looks like I'm making a joke about being zanick to everybody but you. This is a test because we want to see how you react to the truth when you know that it's going to sound crazy to everyone else.
