I despise the entire system of tipping and would love for it to end. As it stands now, tipping is nothing more than rich people exploiting their lower and middle class customers to help directly pay their lower and middle class employees, all so that they can pocket and hoard even more of the wealth they aren’t

I wonder how they got the $400 number? To “save” that much you’d have to be spending $20k eating out and if you’re doing that and sweating $400, you’ve got a lot of skewed priorities.

Holy moly that last one. I know art doesn’t necessarily reflect reality, but geeeez, that’s the fantasy of every incel.

I’ve posted about this before. My parents, Silent Generation, didn’t allow me to go to slumber parties as a kid because they sincerely believe young girls would have sex. With whom? I don’t know. I never got an answer. But apparently in no other situations do young girls desire sex. Keep in mind I didn’t know what sex

My point is, in other cases, it's never the family's choice. A crime was committed, police investigate. Hell, they even had a confession. But it's just women's bodies, soyaknow.

Why is it so damn hard for people (cops included as “people”, provisionally) to grasp the idea that MINORS CANNOT CONSENT?  That if a participant was a minor, the act was NON-CONSENSUAL?

His lyrics are so wholesome though, how could anyone have seen this coming?

Funny, you never see the families of murder victims going "oh, he didn't know it was ok? As long as he never does it again, we won't press charges." 

You can’t really discuss Conservative’s far-right stance on Israel without a discussion of the Evangelicals, who might be even more pro-Israel than most American Jews. That would include both Mike Pence and Sec of State Mike Pompeo. Pompeo has literally talked about how G-d personally gave the world Donald Trump to

So it was leaked to the press then!

Don’t forget the part where he told them how they control the politicians. 

Is this a trope?

There were a lot of anti-Semitic tropes in that mess. But the RJC doesn’t care, and won’t care, because they’ve been whitewashing bigotry for years. The group isn’t the most reactionary organization of US Jews, but they’re definitely in the same building as the most reactionary groups.

Well, the good news is that his dementia is progressing extremely rapidly, now. The campaign should be...not at all permanently damaging to the entire world.

you don’t get AIDS from someone coughing in a room full of people. But you do get measles that way. You don’t know people who died from measles, because they are dead. We don’t see the people regularly who were disfigured because of it because they often are shy about being stared at because of how they look.

Of course it is possible for children, even those who are not immunocompromised, to die from complications of the measles. But not that many.”

Refutation of point 1:

Problem with the AIDS vs. Measles binary: AIDS is very hard to get and there is no vaccine, while measles is very easy to get if you are unvaccinated.

A child’s vaccination records are usually processed when they apply for admission into kindergarten. That’d be an easy check, right there—no vaccination, no public school.

Beyond that, vaccination records are kept on file at the hospital that performs them, and in a portable patient file that transfers with the patient

I’m all for the inalienable rights of the Constitution, but the free exercise of those rights ends when they infringe upon the inalienable rights of another.

To that end, refusal to vaccinate oneself or one’s offspring infringes upon all three of the majors—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—because disease
