TIL: Today I Learned

[rah]

For 100 bucks the innkeeper's daughter is probably cringe-worthy

 

[Synobun]

It's funny because women are commodities to be traded.

 

[Ryika]

Spotted the feminist!

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Bad feminist.
If the innkeeper's daughter wants to make some money on the side, she should be allowed to do that.

 

[Synobun]

Except you'd be expecting her to have sex with you as part of the $100/night fee for the room. It's an expectation of her sexual labour, not her volunteering to make a few extra dollars.

Who said anything about sex ?
I was talking about room service and a complementary mug of their finest wine !

Get your mind out of the gutter !

 

[Synobun]

You did, because if it was room service and alcohol you wanted you would have just asked the innkeeper and not their daughter.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

The innkeeper is too busy to do all of that himself and has many daughters in this scenario.

 

[Synobun]

Naturally.

The best hotels are the ones that say "Solid-State Television" on their signs.

 

[Ryika]

Not surprising that the mind of the feminist would immediately wander to prostitution though.

Did you know that male feminists have an increased likelihood of turning out to be a sexual predator?

It's an expectation of her [wholly irrelevant word redacted] labour, not her volunteering to make a few extra dollars.

I've generally understood labour precisely as "volunteering to make an extra few dollars".
Where that definition does not apply, we're talking of slavery.

Moderator Action: Ahem. Lots of topics mentioned in this thread are worthy of discussion, but it is important not to let them dominate the thread. Feel free to start a new thread if necessary.

Black Diamonds

I never heard of these before. They are found only in the Central African Republic and Brazil. One theory for their origin is that they are from the break-up of a meteor that struck before the break up of Pangaea.

What are you talking about? The Marvel movies are documentaries.

TIL: George Lucas wrote an episode of Phineas and Ferb.

TIL that "Phineas and Ferb" is something that will produce results if googled.
