Reply to comment by SilasX in UK tax authority nudges net 'influencers': You may owe us for those OnlyFans feet pics by james8475
So you report waitresses every time you see them getting a cash tip? You report someone every time you buy something from craigslist or Facebook marketplace? What about yard sales, you report those if you drive by one? Or do you just think you're being righteous by reporting influencers and only fans models because you have some weird hatred for them? Kind of funny how that works

Salt plus fine gravel for extra grip.

Vanderbilt has accepted that the volume of shootings is going to be greater than the manpower they have available to keep coming up with new emails.

>but prioritising footpaths over major service roads is idiotic
Why does it have to be one or the other? He's not saying "stop salting major roads" that's a false dichotomy.

The argument isn't about whether or not to treat roads, it's about the fact that roads more heavily used by stay-at-home caretakers aren't being salted. Those aren't just private estate roads, they are the public roads between residential areas, the roads that don't necessarily all go through business centers. This issue stretches beyond just the "gritting routes" it's also a public transportation issue that travel between residential neighborhoods is a lot more difficult, expensive, and poorly executed to manage than travel to business centers.

We at Vanderbilt University regrettably announce the latest mass shooting at our illustrious main campus. It is with heartfelt sorrow we mourn those unfortunately shot dead and we sympathize with those left maimed. Go Commodores!

Nice! Why did the police use McDonalds as a lure? What made them think that would work?

Just FYI, rock salt is not salt mixed with rocks. It's salt crystals mined directly out of the ground (rather than evaporated from seawater or runoff).
Rock salt is most often used without grit in it. It's cheaper when it isn't food-grade.

I don’t think there was a increase in road accidents. It’s not that the main roads weren’t gritted, it’s that the smaller paths were prioritised.

>a large religious fried chicken joint has used metrics like location to major thoroughfares, propensity to eat out
Wow, clearly they're racist. What sort of food selling business would site themselves near lots of people who order food???

Ah okay. Missed that part. Still not sure that makes a difference here. It definitely has a lot of its locations in black neighborhoods.

Was there a figure for the increase in road accidents due to lack of gritting?

Yes? Agreed that it's shitty to base your opinion on tax enforcement based on how much you like the target of it. That was my whole point!

The thotaudit meme is a joke, you need to actually submit a form of evidence that you actually know details about this person's finances to the IRS, and aren't just wasting their time, for them to investigate someone.
I don't actually know what qualifies as evidence, because that can vary by state. I wonder if images and videos of someone holding stacks of cash or making it rain can count as valid evidence though.

But it's a fact. More men do drive to work than women. Simply acknowledging reality isn't sexist, nor is it saying that women don't work at all. The routes from residential areas to business areas are well salted . But then the routes caretakers use to drive the children around to school and activities, visit family in other residential areas, and to do general tasks that aren't in business areas aren't as salted because their needs aren't being considered.
The salting route policy is favoring workers needs and not caretakers needs. And because those roles are statistically fulfilled by men and women respectively, the policy is sexist. It effects women negatively more often than men. Acknowledging a majority doesn't ignore that some women work and some men are stay-at-home caretakers.

You know, I realized that, they do it here. I just don't think I've heard it called that. We just say they salted the road even though you know it's not salt.

We put down grit for traction on the ice in the US. Some areas don’t allow salt so it’s only grit.

They seem butthurt that knowledge can be investigated and found through logical applications. They may not have much practice with it to understand.

Something which they thought couldn’t possibly be sexist, and got data to back it up, which eventually saved the government lots of money.
What’s the issue here?

>And so the Swedish gender equality initiative team began to explore
whether snow clearing was sexist. Sure enough, they found the routine of
clearing snow typically benefited men over women.
What's that? The society-for-finding-things-that-are-sexist investigated whether a thing was sexist and found that the thing was sexist? Colour me shocked.

The suits are fine! Modern suits are super comfortable, even in summer.
Make the women wear suits!
