In "intersection of things I like to talk about news," it looks like the auction scenes in the Pirates of the Caribbean rides at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World will be altered beyond recognition to make them less triggering. Make your way to Anaheim or Orlando to take a wench for a bride while you still can.

No shit, I was there in March... rode Pirates multiple times like I always do and thought, "this will be the last time I ride this before they ruin it with PC bullshit... "

This isn't the first time they've altered the ride. The "Pooped Pirate" used to have the following lines:

"Ah, shiver me soul. It's dead wore out I be. A mite too fast these light-footed wenches be for the likes of an old schwegbellied pirate such as I. Now where be that fascinating little old treasure, eh? Heave-to mateys! Say, have you set your eyes on the bewitched maiden in your travels? Oh she be a lively lassie she were. Oh I tell you true. It's alright to hoist me colours on the likes of that she little wench! Favor, keep a weathered eye open, mateys. I be willing to share I be!"

There used to be no women chasing pirates...

I hope to God they don't get rid of, " Show them your larboard side." Best part of the whole ride.... lol

Incorrect. The LAST turntable was always a woman chasing a pirate after several of pirates chasing women. It was the setup and punchline to a structured joke.

The California AG actually just released a statement (or answered an interview question?) yesterday and said that they haven't discussed or released a legal opinion on state universities travelling for athletics yet.

I'd imagine they will be allowed via "preexisting contracts" or some such loophole.

It's more than likely due to the fact they wanted to be on the liberating forefront again and in their haste to get there, never really thought about this.

Clerk: Someone asked about travel for college athletics.
AG: F@ck, never thought about that. Maybe we shouldn't have passed this until we could all get together and discuss in detail.

Yes this is correct... there was one large woman chasing the last pirate or some such... it was a totally different feel tho.

Pretty much sums up the lunacy of certain elements of our current society.

I thought the following excerpt from this blog post by Sam Thielman was insightful:

The fact of the matter is that current standards of racism and sexism are not enforced by a council of social scientists but by large corporations and universities who react exclusively to threats to their financial well-being and do not give a good goddamn about what is or isn’t “actually” racist or sexist, only what appears to be publicly damaging to their reputations. West and others have developed complex rubrics and they are often worth examining and understanding but they are entirely worthless in the real world because no one who will fire an employee for saying something outside of work that outrages a group of influential people actually possesses any sort of moral compass.

This seems very obvious to me and to many others but the potential to misuse these incredibly powerful tools of public shame hasn’t stopped people like West and others from lobbying for their creation, and so we now have them: Logrolling campaigns on Twitter and Facebook, doxxing, calling the offender’s employer to tell them about the ugly thing they’ve done; these are all now part of the antiracist and the feminist’s toolkit.

Also, getting a master's degree at a VERY PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL (that she won't name) so you know she's super smart.

She doesn't need to study baseball but she does need to learn how to do at least a minimal investigation to identify if what she's unhappy about is actually a problem before sticking both feet in her mouth. A middle school student needs to show her how to use google.

A masters candidate and her command of the language is best expressed with "WTF"? Whoever is funding her education is getting ripped off.

I look forward to seeing her pitch her designer tent at the next Occupy Baseball protest.

She can't be this stupid and clueless. Surely she's trolling... I hope.

No, she was triggered by a wrong assumption and doubled down when called on it.

But never fear she's learning to save the world ... one sports abbreviation at a time.

Looks like this to me also. Could have been a "Oh, silly me lol" moment turned into something bigger.

*And she's getting her masters in education from Alabama. That's on par with getting a mechanic's certificate from Lincoln Tech

And reading through the thread, she seems upset at the K in general, not just the 3, see where she is still upset even when it is up to 5 K's)...PLUS, she said she would be OK (sorry if triggering) with the backwards K (not realizing that it too has its own meaning)

hilarious
