I agree with you, but this woman did everything she was supposed to do to get better at taking care of the baby. The answer for her is not to take her child away, but to set her up with some kind of program to teach, help, and maybe monitor her until she is competent enough.

She said she didn’t want to read books about white boys and their dogs. But the real crime is that you were forced to feel :( Please keep telling us about how Black girls needing to see positive representations in literature is about you. I’d really like to hear more.

The point is that dogs are seen as more deserving protagonists for children’s books than black girls. There’s nothing wrong with reading about dogs (I loooooooove dogs). But there’s a problem when so many authors are seeing them as more relatable than black human girls.

This is really, really good advice, with exceptions... Personally I would love to buy quality clothes that would last years, but I’m a trans woman so my shape has been changing since I started transitioning 2 years ago. I had to swap out almost all my “men’s” clothing items for “women’s” clothes. Added to that my body…

If more dirty, criminal cops were dealt with in this way, we would not be having this crisis of mistrust in the police. The only way to deter criminal cops is to rigorously prosecute them and fire them.

I have zero sympathy for this asshole. Justice has been served.

Not to be *that guy* about it but if a woman had acted like that, her shit would have been canned ages ago for being hysterical.

I thought these were onions at first.

Monogrammed Thermos™ does both!

Either you’re trolling (in which case you need to work harder, because this is sad), or you are willfully dumb enough to continually ignore the repeatedly-stated fact that the server wouldn’t have known the customers were planning to drive drunk if they hadn’t left him a shitty tip, because he wouldn’t have gone…

If they were the type of people who would leave a decent tip, they would probably also be the type of people who would take a cab. Douchebags are usually douchey in all of their actions.

I love the idea that for some reason when you’re serving alcohol you automatically become an adult chaperone at Prom.

It is perfectly acceptable because adults should know their limits and drink accordingly.

I’ve been reading the replies and am baffled by something. Are you telling me Bartenders and Waiters are only supposed to let people get shit faced if they *know* they aren’t driving and are theoretically legally culpable if they know someone who drinks and drives?

It’s a moot point: if they hadn’t stiffed the server, he wouldn’t have gone out to the parking lot to see them get in their car. And it didn’t say the customers were wasted, just that they had consumed far too much to be able to legally drive.

IM SURE a $4 marg is PACKED WITH THE DEVILS JUICE.

The waiter only discovered they were driving after stepping out to inquire about the tip.

Surely he’d recall his identity after just one look at his monogrammed thermos.

I don’t know that it would’ve been “OK,” but they wouldn’t have been followed out of the restaurant in the first place had they left even a decent tip.

I’d say you could even go one further here and say that it would be even MORE historically accurate (and more INTERESTING, ffs), if they had included more people of color.
