Never realized I was a victim...

The Colorado Dept of Public Health & Environment just paid me ten bucks to take a survey on health matters.  One of the questions: 

 

 

I'm thinking they should have asked what I do during my day.  I could have told them I argue religion and politics online, wading through some cesspools of bad human behavior.  

I dunno though.  Maybe I should be paid reparations or something?

If you'll recall, back in 2014 / 2015 Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian were before the United Nations crying their crocodile tears about how their poor life choices and online sociopolitical activism had backfired spectacularly, leading to negative consequences... or as they put it, an organized cyber-bullying campaign ostensibly based on their being involved in video games despite being female. They were demanding reparations under the guise of seeking funding for their various organizations, and weren't going to leave without it. 

Meanwhile, I'd spent the past 15 years dealing with the anti-Mormon contingent on the internet, with things being far worse in both scope and magnitude than what they were getting at the time and in the case of the anti-Mormon contingent it legitimately was simply because we existed. Cue me wondering how much I could soak the UN for if I was to plead my case accordingly, or if only certain types of people could have that platform.

I have teenagers, so my answers to all of those questions would be “almost every day”.

Heh.  Big difference between what you do for a living, and me sitting behind a keyboard running my mouth in anonymous chat rooms.  Another reason why this survey question is sort of dumb.

The reason why this sort of survey is dumb is that EVERYONE is treated with disrespect.  So, all they need to do is take surveys of "disadvantaged individuals" to prove that they are disadvantaged.
