I don’t understand the mentality of “this is an incredible evil, so we’re going to tirelessly labor to ensure it’s as inconvenient as possible.” Not much of a rallying cry.

Organizations like this are larger than some cities. Crime is basically inevitable.

From my limited experience, they seem most interested in placing you in as similar a job as possible to your most recent one — as you would expect. So they’ll hone in on industry names and your job titles.

I got contacted by multiple firms after posting my resume at job boards like Indeed, but you can find contract jobs at any such aggregator. Even if you don’t find a job that fits, make note of the contract firm and submit your resume. You can have your resume on file with dozens of these firms and they all have…

Those same India-based skill mills that keep corporations happily staffed with contract JavaScript jockeys have expanded to marketing. There are writing contracts galore out there. You may be writing HR emails, but you’ll do a hell of a lot better than 10K/yr. I haven’t seen anything that pays less than $25 an hour,…

You are a sensitive soul, ill fit for these dark and wretched comments sections.

Did you bother reading what I responded to? Let me remind you:

It’s also typical of conservatives to dismiss opposing arguments as unworthy.

So you want a racist baker to be forced to sell a birthday cake to a black person? Come out and say so. Not sure how that fits with your liberty-ness argument. If the baker’s liberty is your primary concern, then the analogy has never been a straw man.

That’s the problem with conservatives — absolutist utopian fantasies. Liberals understand that all rights are trade-offs. And we’ve landed on a set of trade-offs that include public businesses not discriminating against individuals. Sorry you don’t like that. Russia may be more to your liking.

And the way you describe it, the original analogy is now perfectly apt. That was the point.

Since race and sexual orientation are not the same, and the analogy is “incompatible,” I’m assuming that you’d have no problem forcing a bakery to make a cake for an interracial marriage. Even if the owners have a deeply held religious belief that the races should not mix.

Plenty of kids at the screening of “Team America” I went to. Parents probably figured that since it had marionettes, it must be made for kids. I have never wanted to scream “you fucking morons” more, until this election season.

Are we sure that was SpinTires, and not a Poltergeist pre-vis?

I’m worried in that top picture that Chris Tucker is going to show up and start yelling about Fhloston Paradise.

So, so true. Poor unprincipled me. But my unprincipled ass can rent any hotel room in the nation I want, which stomps on the rights of the property owners in a way that I don’t give a shit about. That’s the benefit of being unprincipled.

No, I’m saying it works for me. All laws and regulations involve tradeoffs, and the ones we’ve chosen balance individual rights of sellers with buyers. Your reductio ad absurdum is leaning more and more heavily on the absurdum as the day goes on.

No, I won’t. But thanks for your concern — it’s sweet.

My point is that the responsibilities tied to the privilege of owning a business are just fine. Can’t live with them? Don’t open a business, or continue to bitch about the freedom-stomping rules. Either way is fine with me, because things are already the way I want them.

So you want all the societal goodies with none of the costs? Nuh-uh. The good stuff comes with strings.
