Yeah, I can see there being people who don't understand why someone might object to one and not the other, and ignorantly think "Abortion pills". There is a lot of bias on both sides, and wading through the muck is pretty nasty. People get really ugly about it. If I've done a good job conversing with you, it probably…

No, no... I understand that IUDs and plan B do essentially the same thing that progestogen-only hormonal birth control can, or progestogen estrogen blends can if taken as emergency contraception. (Although progestogen only birth control does reduce the frequency of ovulation, as opposed to preventing it altogether as…

They actually provided 16 forms of birth control free of charge before the ACA. They're asking to not have to provide plan B or IUDs.

As for "crazy standards", I think there's a big difference between "We would like to not pay for these forms of birth control because we feel they conflict with our religious beliefs"…

I think that you're holding them to an absurd standard. The whole point is, they probably had no idea that the 401K was invested in companies that produced contraceptives, and it's unlikely to ever be something that they would think of. It's a mutual fund! It performs well! No one looks through a list of their fund's…

Absolutely.

Did you read what I wrote, or just go "LOL HYPOCRITE"?

Or did you think about it for a second, and maybe realize that most people have no clue what their indexed funds are invested in, and they don't make decisions about individual companies? And that even if someone looked at it and saw Bayer Industries their first…

Right, but we can be morally outraged at Hobby Lobby if we totally ignore all of that that.

Reality isn't important.

"Unless this is all some sort of cynical political ploy, of course."

That statement is pretty cynical itself.

It's also possible that they never thought of the fact that the mutual funds they bought (that invest in a ton of companies) invested in stocks/bond in companies (that make a ton of products) that also happen…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The road going version will probably go away eventually due to CAFE standards.

Maybe a year or two ago, I was going out with this really cute girl. I liked her. One night, we come back to her place, and one thing leads to another...

When I hear the door to her apartment begin to open.

I start thinking: "It's a one bedroom, not a roommate. The door is in plain view from the bed. Maybe she has a…

EVERYONE should get overtime.

It's incentive for workers to work more, and it's incentive for management to not beat the ever living CRAP out of salaried employees.

Thank you for this.

As someone who is building a car for crapcan racing (despite not having bazongas), this is helpful. Although I'm just going to spend a stupid amount of money because comfort and safety.

No, I agree in the shades of gray in racism. It's not all malicious. But, at the same time, we should treat it the same.

And there definitely is a tone to Jezebel articles when it comes to satirical racism, unintentional racism, or racism in general. Do a quick search, and you'll see a bunch of articles.

And all I'm…

This is nearly as patronizing than my "calm your tits, girl" women's outreach program.

Was one of these on the bridge?

How can you hate the Germans? I'm pretty sure the W123 wagon made up for the whole "Holocaust" thing.

** Holds up sign that says "A Joke". **

Okay, that's fair. I just wasn't sure if it was an awareness thing because of the recent format change. :)

Based on what you're saying, all of those factors don't change whether something is racist or not, only if it is /perceived/ to be racist. So, poor racism satire would be bad satire, or bad writing, or a bad…

First, you know that there's an italics option in the formatting options? The slashes are irrationally bothering me.

And what I'm replying with is that the whole concept of parody being racist is about not the feeling it gives people, but the content. I get that the actual target of the joke is Dan Snyder and not…
