It conflates things such as perversion, sexual attraction, and sex appeal with sexism

I don't think it's actually necessary to ban it when the underlying concept is so patently ridiculous and trivially defeated compared to say critical theory.

It's not men that police attraction and appeal among women. It's women that do that in their arms race to attract men.

A sack full of supposition is worth a sack.

I prefer to assess by that I see. And what I see of AoV is that he's a tiny being who's biggest thing in his life is being moderately well known on one biggish group on the interwebs. Whether he does it wearing a kippah, fez, a fursuit, or the fucking minish cap is irrelevant to me.

No I consider him a Mossad account that is actually multiple people

Well, then you haven't had a long running bicker with him over the course of years.

I assure you, that AoV is a single fucking idiot who somehow lucked into being mod and cares more about his seat than principles.

It's literally the only shit he has in his worthless miserable life and I'd pity him if I didn't despise him for being an impediment.

The what?

AoV, you were literally kicked off that site and you crawl back to it?

Downvoat because you still haven't gotten the memo about not using reddit.

And the reason is: they're bugs.

The term master bedroom actually only dates back to the 1970's (or the very largest catalog houses of the 60's).

Okay so... residential architecture is sort of a hobby of mine. I've got a couple bookshelves full of historical plans dating back to Geo Barber, Sears, Gordon Van Tine, Shoppell's, etc.

So, standardized residential architecture became a thing in the 1800's with the advent of steam powered lumber mills. In Victorian and Queen Anne era plans, firstly, the vernacular was different. Bedrooms were called chambers, and while there was OCCASIONALLY a principal chamber, in most house designs the main distinction was between chambers for family, and (in larger houses) the maid's room (typically just one in the sorts of designs that made it into design books).

In the war-era designs, houses were frankly pretty damn small and there tended to be only one bathroom. One bathroom had been the norm basically since internal plumbing, and typically stacked over the kitchen to concentrate everything in one wet wall. It wasn't until the late 50's ranch and the 60's split ranch that you really consistently started seeing houses with a second bath, as architects finally acknowledged that people were starting to do home remodeling projects and might actually need more than one.

You didn't really see the master suite concept appear until the 1970's, or the largest ranches of the 60's. But not a lot of houses were built in the 70's due to economic problems, and those that were built tended to be split-foyer-garage type. When housing construction picked back up in the late 80's, the McMansions appeared. In the McMansion, the master suite was a main feature.

If American and Southwest are going against then it'll be interesting to see if United is able to stand with their position.

All three of them are TWU shops. Either the union isn't taking a strong position, or United was hoping for solidarity that didn't materialize.

We'll see.

I'm tempted to start now

I always get the shakes before a drop. I've had the injections, of course, and hypnotic preparation, and it stands to reason that I can't really be afraid. The ship's psychiatrist has checked my brain waves and asked me silly questions while I was asleep and tells me that it isn't fear, it isn't anything important - it's just the trembling of an eager race horse in the starting gate. I couldn't say about that, I've never been a race horse. But the fact is: I'm scared silly, every time.

There are useful subs. I wouldn't be angry at people if there wasn't, because abstention from it wouldn't matter.

I don't think you'd want the reddit subs you miss to migrate into kia2.win either.

Wrong, cuz I do.

Once new subs (or wins, whatever we're calling them) are allowed to be created without a nagging campaign,

Yes, that is a problem that the network needs to sort out, and quickly. In a sense it's unfortunate that they went live without solving it, but agile development, whatchagonna do.

I can start considering getting some of the good reddit subs to migrate.

The thing about agile development is that it is in some ways most responsive to pain. If the admins were constantly being hammered with more nagging campaigns (as they should be) there would be more pressure on them to solve the self-serve create your own community problem.

People looking for a replacement for reddit look at ruqqus (and before that, voat) and think "wow, that's basically what wanted, except it's dead". Yeah. Because they put delivering the functionality ahead of delivering to a community first. Network effect isn't fueled by having the best software, it's fueled by having the most people. This is why .win stands a chance of succeeding where ruqqus and voat failed, because we have dense and growing communities, and it's just the software that's shit.

You can go a long way on shit software if you have a strong community (see EVE Online).
