  • I get where you’re coming from, and I can always relate to any scepticism around corporate policy. To clarify, specifically, my thoughts around the workplace, they’re entirely dependent on my own experience in small to medium sized companies in Australia with strong culture and policies around this sort of thing.

    I recognise that other regions would have differing levels of enforcement and while not every social situation is equitable to expectations at work, in my personal view it’s pretty cut and dry- you shouldn’t need a rule in a social club specifically banning uninvited sexual comments, it’s just a given that you don’t do that.

    I’d suggest, also as a male, that it’s a red flag. He’s a new member and his first instinct is to sexually harass a female member, and then double down when he doesn’t get the response he’s looking for.

    In any workplace I’ve been in, he’d be sacked. Why should he be given more leniency in a social situation?



  • "And that’s not because ancient Romans and Greeks weren’t living to a ripe old age.

    Per the article: “While average life expectancy before the common era was roughly half of what it is today, the age of 35 was hardly considered ‘old’ for the time. The median age of death in ancient Greece was, by some estimates, closer to 70 years, which means that half of society was living even longer than that. Hippocrates himself, the famous Greek physician and so-called father of medicine, is thought to have died in his 80s or 90s.”




  • I did it with hiking shoes because that’s all I had with me, but I’d recommend hiking boots with good ankle support instead. There’s a short scramble towards the top but it’s not overly difficult.

    Another favourite of that trip was the Old Man of Storr up at the Isle of Skye. It’s a less technical hike but much more exposed to the elements and can get windy.

    Also, I’m by no means a photographer. Scotland is just so stupidly pretty that you struggle to take a bad photo- get over there!
