I just… I feel like he and his fiancee are cos-playing? It feels so weirdly fake to me? Or maybe he’s just a psychopath and he’s triggering my flight or fight response? I dunno mang, he’s scary as shit. Missouri, I hope you don’t elect him.

Yeah, I recently got Offspring’s “Original Prankster” stuck in my head, so I went to watch the music video, and it’s about 15% telling the story of the prankster kid, 10% showing the band performing, and 75% women dancing in skimpy outfits.
I was made really uncomfortable by how unnecessary all of that was.

You mean this fiancee?
Chanel’s upbringing required keeping her schooling at home. Except for her early schooling in France and debate camps at conservative America’s famous Patrick Henry College, near Washington D.C., neither she nor her brother or sister ever set foot in a school until university.
"What started this peculiar journey for us was the candidacy of William Clinton in 1996. That year, Clinton ran for reelection against dad’s old friend and onetime political mentor, Bob Dole. Clinton was the last straw, so dad picked up stakes and moved us out of the country. I think he wanted us to see what a debauched idea socialism was and that socialism was what the Clintons stood for. He wanted us to see what socialism did in the real world—how it destroyed people and human happiness in practice.
The couple are not normal. Both are fake-working-class rich brats with deep political connections.

I found the replies interesting.
You’ve got (mostly older) white women borderline victim blaming with “why did you tell them?” and POCs leading the charge to note the irony of the response and how it’s garbage.
The latter are right. Working in an office where there’s almost always someone taking mat/parental leave, there are reasons to disclose, mostly because there are simple accommodations that can be made to make things easier (such as a stool for the speaker to sit on or not sticking this particular talk in auditorium 10, which is a three mile walk away from everything, including the nearest bathroom).
While I understand the OP’s desire not to name and shame (STEM is a small, vindictive world), we need to start demanding that event organisers do better. One of the biggest complaints I saw about the women’s marches is how little thought many of them went to, in terms of accommodation for those who needed it.
We need to stop playing the “I don’t need to disclose” as “I shouldn’t disclose”. We haven’t come a long way. As long as we’re letting people pretend they’re not discriminating while they blatantly do, we’ve barely moved at all.

Years ago, I went to a conference for a programming language I use. I was at a happy hour event at a popular downtown bar with a bunch of people (all male colleagues). My husband was also there, at a separate event. People were introducing themselves around to my all-male colleagues, and skipping me. I had to really force my way in to get a handshake. My husband walked up, and some of my new acquaintances promptly offered their hands to him. I wrote a short blog post about the experience, and the first thing I got was blaming from other women. Why had my husband been there? Oh, you poor dear, don’t you know you leave your husband home?
And this is it. Those people were discriminating against me. If my husband hadn’t walked up, I still would have been discriminated against by a dozen men, because they assumed I was the girlfriend of one of the men I arrived with. There is nothing you can do as a woman where you won’t bear the blame for the actions of men. That the discrimination from other women came as “advice” doesn’t make it not discrimination.

That was something that Chicago did very well. The entire front area was set up only for those who need assistance, with easy access by car/van for drop-off and pick-up. Everyone who could stand was on the other side of the road from the stage.

Yo, Dawg. We heard you respond to hyperbole, so we injected hyperbole in our hyperbole to create hyper-hyperbole.

A self-reinforcing echo chamber of hyperbole. A hyperbolic chamber, so to speak.

Does a hyperbolic chamber incorporate hyperbolic geometry?

Is it just me or are her art skills lacking? Her shading looks like what little kids do when they’re learning about shading, basically just messing around with confused lines. It doesn’t look conscious or controlled. How does she have a career as an artist?

Her “art” is terrible, you are correct.
Also define “career” LOL
