Not Lying is one of the big 10 "what not to do"s in Christianity. Being in retail means lying *a lot*, but I'm not getting a $400,000 payout unless Not Lying somehow ties into "being a dick to LGBT people"

That analogy doesn't really work though, since it's based on professionals not performing their duties correctly. It's perfectly possible for a medical doctor to hold religious beliefs while prescribing the right medicine.
I said there was a difference in not saying something that might offend customers, and being compelled to say something that contradicts your own beliefs. So perhaps the doctor might be instructed to not talk about their religious beliefs around a patient, but they shouldn't be required to state they don't have any religious beliefs to the patient.
So you're a Christian? I thought you said you didn't take it seriously any more?
You didn't do any of that. Like, their actions automatically disproved what you said
Shockingly, despite my issues with catholic theology in general and the Catholic Church in particular, I *still* have a belief system that generally involves not lying. Even back in my pre-apostate days this shit pissed me off. Pure sanctimonious bullshit with a payday attached.
But if I said my honest opinion about that while ringing up his groceries in casual conversation, I'd be out on my ass, beliefs be damned. This kinda bullshit being "religious exemptions" only works one way

Okay, but were those articles coming from the producers themselves, or from third party publications? Because there's a difference there in regards to how the show presents itself, and how observers present the show.
I agree, but I wouldn't quite put it like that. It's not so much that "Clara is a Sue, so she dies," it's more the idea of Clara getting over her head (arguably facilitated by the Doctor himself), and pays the price for it.
As for the lack of outrage...well, I wouldn't have really expected it. Clara was generally disliked, and even if she wasn't, I think her death was well handled. Plus, after it, you get one of the best DW episodes ever written IMO (Heaven Sent), which deals with the immediate aftermath of that, so there's that, as well.
Alright, seriously, is this another "forced diversity" thing? Because saying that "diversity" is the reason why Thirteen's companions don't work is missing the forest for the trees at best. You could have any combination of companions for Thirteen and the issues would remain.
I think of the first two seasons with Thirteen, Yaz gets the least development. Ryan and Graham at least have to deal with the issue of their wife/mother dying, and arguably bonding as father/step-son over the experience. Yaz doesn't even really get that. If anything, I was hoping that Flux would be a chance for the show to improve (or at least for Yaz to improve), since she could be fleshed out, but nup, Flux is terrible.
You asked me to do so.
Some 3rd party but a lot from social media or what I'm guessing were PR pieces being pushed out to some of the media.
True but well, modern age and all and I'm shocked certain people didn't read the worst possible interpretation into the events.
Pretty easy to twist the narrative into "Uppity single woman gets put in her place by TV show in highly sexist display" or something.
No that's the thing. It's the reason they failed because Chibnall and others didn't think much beyond that they went "We have a diverse range of people, that's all we need. The thing being the moment anyone objects to the characters etc people they just cry bigot / racist / sexist to try and shut them down and present all those objecting as "Not the real fans just angry Alt-right Nazi bigots."
I'm hoping T Davies fixes the mess that Doctor Who has become.I think of the first two seasons with Thirteen, Yaz gets the least development. Ryan and Graham at least have to deal with the issue of their wife/mother dying, and arguably bonding as father/step-son over the experience. Yaz doesn't even really get that. If anything, I was hoping that Flux would be a chance for the show to improve (or at least for Yaz to improve), since she could be fleshed out, but nup, Flux is terrible.
Uhrm... whose identity is this denying?
Wait, you're not seriously going to argue that people being mean about your opinions on this forum is denying your identity just like transphobia, are you...?

Looks like Elon owns Twitter now. This should make for some entertaining spurging over the next few weeks.
And now we wait for the Musk style pump and dump, the wokest of tactics.
No, in finance a pump and dump is a type of fraud where an owned stock's value is artificially inflated through false and misleading statements, after which the owner then sells all of their stock, making a tidy profit, while the sold stock tends to crash in value afterwards because of supply/demand. Wouldn't be the first time Musk pulled one.
He did that with meme coins that I know of, but I don't see any indication he is trying to hype up the value of twitter. If anything him buying it would lower the value thanks to the leftist who think he is the second coming of Stalin.
Musk doesn't do anything unless he feels there's something in it for him. If not financial gain, then perhaps power and influence. Or maybe he just being a petty dick again.
