There’s a bit of irony in people thinking “ghetto” belongs to the black community.

I need you to know that Americans will always say that things that are not from the US are better than things in the US.

It is not a mark of quality, it is just the fact that Americans are so sure of their superior culture that - when met with something better - they believe that anything that isn’t that culture is…

To be fair, consumer industries that sell physical products (every single one) perform a fairly extensive FMECA on new products during development that would definitely include things like “User GUI unable to respond to inputs” especially on a product that has a single GUI to control dozens of features.

Um. I ....can’t say I condone it, but I did notice something in here: You’ve driven past this statue 300 times now, and you didn’t even knew it existed. Now that you do, you’re bitching about it. For those 300 times, this statue did absolutely nothing to you or for you. It took Charlottesville for you to get…

TFW you realize the Feminist Left is as puritanical as the Christian Right.

hmm. Is it just me, or has the internet (or at the very least kinja) become a place for feminists, gays, and minorities of all kinds to beat the same old drum of “i don’t think this is fair and i find it offensive on behalf of the people actually involved of their own free will that seem fine with it”

This isn’t porn,…

Good cops and bad cops. Cops everywhere need to keep aggressively weeding out the bad ones to stop them skewing the average.

I’m more the type that wishes I could say “Hey, it’s not gonna happen tonight, guy,” without it becoming a huge THING where his ego is all bruised up or he wants to redouble his efforts so I won’t mark him down in the Secret Lady Book as bad in bed.

I’m going to repeat something a commenter told me years ago that I liked so much I never forgot it: Thank you for being awesome all over this thread.

Well, how do you tell them? I am a man, and yeah, you probably should say something, but there is a right way and a wrong way. If you ask for additional oral or hand stimulation, that’s great. But if you say, “You didn’t get the job done, I’m leaving,” that’s the wrong way.

Actually, corporations need to not look at unions as opponents. The Europeans work it really well, but then again their capitalists are a bit more caring about people and realize that good workers are happy and well paid workers. American capitalists would be happy to pay their workers a dollar an hour and bitch about…

You’re no state employee. You’re a (deservedly) struggling novelist (I suppose you could be both).

While corporate charters had their place back in the day, I think it is high time for the government to only support employee owned collectives. It is the only moral position a government could possibly take. Many of the periphery systematic problems of an economic system where the owner/investor gets 100+% of the…

It is fair though... unless they have a means of making cars without workers, they are going to have to be at the mercy of their scare resources.

“While unions had their place back in the day,”

That’s not the fault of the union. That is the fault of the employer for agreeing to a ridiculous contract provision.

The only reason non-union employers have similar wages and benefits to union employers is because they have to in order to draw the labor. That’s one of the side perks of unions: They keep other employers honest, too.

States can’t secede. We fought a war about this already. Jesus fucking Christ, California.

“An investigation by the Evanston Police Department found the use of force justified...” In other words, the police investigated themselves and found out they did nothing wrong. The fact that the victim had his own dashcam may have saved his life and his public record. I’m posting this video on my FB as we speak so my…

soooooooooo states rights until they’re doing something we don’t like?
