What is this website? What are "accountable posts", slashes, and tokens?

EDIT: There is something called Celody, and now I'm listening to music in the hopes of getting tokens. I assume that I'll be able to upvote and downvote articles on the website using these tokens.

I have no idea how long I have to listen, or why.

A lot of things aren't a big deal unless you make it one. Weird post. It reminds me of the older man who dyes his hair. There's something to be said about confidence and having the dignity to just be comfortable with yourself. You can be bald and not insecure. It goes a long way.

Up next: Social Justice for the Short Man, for those with a 'country' accent, for the glasses wearers (in the off-seasons for nerdiness), the straight-up unattractive.

They are all real, the question we must contend with is: Are all externally imposed, negatively perceived features, protected from measurement/discrimination?

What about age? Can you discriminate towards youthfulness if you will, in your time, become old?

I think it's meant as satire.

Nonsense article there are plenty of highly regarded bald men. Easily searchable on the internet. Easily visible on social media. Easily visible on local television.

It may be nonsense, but not because of that argument, since one could say the same about nearly any disadvantaged group.

This was going to be part of a bad stand up comedy routine I am never going to do. Bald is the last label and category that hasn't had its time to shine. Even actors who have hair take media roles that bald men traditionally have. Like Patrick Stewart being replaced by a dude that has to shave his head to be Professor X. And there is a ton of subtle bald hate in society even to the point of influencing career advancement. That is the same media representation problem other groups have.

With all that being said, down with groups and labels. Gotta move on from it as it is too easy for the wealthy class to take our self defined labels and categories and turn everyone against each other. The internet has allowed this process to be amplified.
