I’m not sure if OP meant sex or gender. I can’t think of a medically relevant reason to know an incapacitated person’s gender. Maybe someone with any experience or knowledge there can chime in.

My understanding of the legal discrimination argument is that whether someone holds a particular gender identity is irrelevant. If the perpetrator perceives someone to be of a particular gender, and acts with intent to discriminate against someone based on that belief, regardless of whether or not it’s true, that still constitutes gender discrimination. But IANAL.

    I was eagerly looking forward to, then pretty disappointed by, Hendrix’s Witchcraft. No scary moments I can recall (even considering the soft horror of Hendrix books), not enough witchcraft.

    I wish return to office (for some, a first time in the office after years with a company!) could more easily be deemed constructive discharge.

    I know there are people who never got the opportunity to work from home and will say to get over it. But people build their entire lives around working from home. Converting space in their home into a productive home office environment—and the expenditures to do so; establishing routines that align with working from home; selling their vehicle in lieu of riding a bicycle to all the conveniently located everyday places; getting a pet that has become accustomed to seeing you all hours of the day.

    It’s so disruptive in so many ways when companies do this, and almost always with no reason for doing so except to fuck over employees.

    This community is moving to adultswim.fan! The adultswim.fan server is an instance for Adult Swim programming, past and present, and many things animation. Come join us to share and talk about all things King of the Hill, including the launch of the Season 14 revival!

    ::: spoiler Wanna know more?

    So why the move...

    There are a few reasons, actually.

    1. Adult Swim was pivotal in keeping King of the Hill on the air after Fox canceled it. Many people watched the remaining four episodes--which were aired after the intended original series finale, "To Sirloin With Love"--on Adult Swim. Some viewers were even exposed to the Hills and the rest of the Rainey Street alley crew for the first time through Adult Swim. It's a place of refuge for many beloved animated series and a natural choice as the series enters its revival.
    2. The tone of the adultswim.fan instance fits with the KotH community. Adult Swim is usually regarded as a little bit subversive, and its programming is animation-forward.
    3. The community on adultswim.fan is more active. You'll probably find posts on a daily basis over there. It's the same dang ol' fun content, just a new home.

    See you real soon!

     

    Toby Huss has been cast as the new voice actor for the character of Dale Gribble.

    Huss voiced Kahn Souphanousinphone and Cotton Hill, as well as other characters, in over 160 episodes.

    Huss voicing Kahn today (to say nothing of back in 2010) would almost certainly be problematic. And with Cotton having died in the original series, eliminating any of Huss's well known recurring characters, choosing him to stand in for Johnny Hardwick feels fitting. I think removing Dale entirely would have left a big gap in the alley, and this feels respectful enough.

    Was anyone hoping they would have found a way to write Dale Gribble out of the show instead?
