Tell me that they’re not actually using the word Siamese here in the way I think they are
They are.
Though this is not a good visual example of why this type of connection is called a Siamese. This is a much clearer example of the same type of connection.
A Siamese connection is typically a standpipe inlet with two heads. The reason to have two heads on the same pipe? Well, in the case of a fire, it’s not good to suddenly find out that one head has faulty/stripped threads. Here in NYC it is standard and required equipment for all buildings - often one each for the hose pressure standpipe and one for the sprinkler standpipe (which don’t come from the same water pressure supply).
It sucks that there’s no PC replacement word for this word when it means”two-headed” but I don’t think the Thais, the deformed babies or the cats are particularly up-in-arms about this. (I have never heard of anyone offended by the use of the term “Siamese Twins”, but anything is possible)
Things for which not to use Facebook
“Hey, what’s Mike’s last name again?”
OK, why did I think this was about startups until Mike mentioned his LGBTQ friends?
I dunno. I just saw Hudack quoted and thought his quote was about the inevitability of success for Internet startups (though I give him more credit than that, I do not think of him as an endless fountain of tech industry evangelization), and then I saw Mike M. start disagreeing about “privilege” and I thought it had to do with financing.
Maybe I feel like every capable adult worker should have the right to find work for a living (and not be told, “Hey, go start your own business!” as a solution to national job erosion) as much as everyone should have the right to get married. Yeah, that’s it. Also, I’m still dead wrong on how I first read this post. But it makes sense (and is agreeable).
BTW, I saw a boy no older than 10 working FOH at an IHOP this weekend. (Maitre’d? Pancake’d?) What’s up with THAT? Be happy with your allowance, Timmy boy.
“This is a lesson in the inevitability of change. In other words: don’t worry about it too much. The laws will change soon enough, at least in the grand scheme of things. There are important and less inevitable issues for us to deal with.”While I agree with Mike in the grand scheme of things when it comes to social change taking time, it is important to recognize that this widely held view on this issue - “the laws will change soon enough” - comes from a position of extreme hetero privilege. When you aren’t in the group having the right denied, it is always easy to see the long term glacial change as the natural order of things. But the problem with privilege infused world views such as this is that it comes off of the backs of people who are not able to live their lives the way they deserve to NOW. I’m planning a wedding and it makes me sick to send my lgbtq friends and family members invitations to come celebrate my entry into an institution that they are locked out of. Yes change will happen in the next decade or two, but in the meantime we will have millions of people being sent a message that their love, their life, their being is not okay. All heteros who don’t lean hard on older family members and policy makers on an ongoing basis to change their views and speed up the shift in public perception will carry the scar of the denial of those rights for far too long.
Not a wild cat guy, also doesn’t care for tame dogs
Yeah.
