“There is such a thing as the spirit of the law.” Not in a courtroom, there isn’t! This is honestly the absolute stupidest assertion I’ve seen in the comments in a long time. “Laws don’t have to be explicit”? Where on God’s green earth did you pull that one from? Laws get struck down by the courts for being overly…

Do you feel the same about people cheating in offline sports? Like if you’re playing a friendly game of basketball, you have no problem with people fouling left and right or just travelling down half the court? And if that’s “different” to you, I’d genuinely like to know: why?

Your comparison is silly. Clothing doesn’t “spoil,” and the characteristics of clothing that are valued by wealthy customers are frequently not the same characteristics valued by poor customers. It couldn’t be less like the market for tomatoes.

Nobody “needs” trendy clothes that an influencer would sell. People need clothes that are durable, professional, and machine-washable. I’ve done plenty of thrifting in my life, and the stores in my area have never lacked for clothing in those categories in a huge range of sizes.

I’ve never donated clothes to a thrift store assuming they would all go to poor people. They end up with a whole range of people - it’s simply a better solution than throwing my clothes in the garbage (even though that happens to a huge percentage of donated clothes anyways).

Stop making shit up. Thrift stores are not “running out of clothes” for low-income people - they may just throw a slightly smaller percentage of donated clothes in the garbage now. Find me a place in the US where thrift stores don’t have enough clothes to sell and I’ll eat my words, but I really don’t think you will.…

If you think that resellers are draining thrift stores of clothes so poor people have nothing to wear, you are so poorly informed on this topic that you’d be better off staying silent. Thrift stores throw out a HUGE percentage of donated clothes - not because they’re unwearable, but because they simply don’t have…

I love that you demand that asexual people stop discussing the allosexual experience, and then instantly deputize yourself to speak up for all the ace people you “know.” Do you honestly think this poster knows no allosexual people? They surely do - so why is their experience speaking to allosexual people less valid…

There’s no way that more than 99% of the population identifies as allosexual - your source for that is “this just feels right to me.” There’s nothing BUT bias there, and if you’re not bringing new data to a discussion, you’re just making things up - lying.

Why oh why do rational adults ever cite “dictionary definitions”? First of all, there isn’t just one dictionary, and every dictionary has slightly different definitions. That should give you pause right there.

You’re “not trying to troll” but then compare being trans to identifying as Superman? You are DEFINITELY a hateful bigot, and you prove it with your words up and down this thread. There’s not a single logical statement in anything you’ve typed. It’s honestly pitiful.

The handles of a pot on the stovetop aren’t nearly as hot as, say, a cast iron pan coming out of the oven or a paella pan coming off of a grill.

“IF you’ve never hung a garage door” - yeah, so like 99% of the population? What a weird thing to say.

Why do you weirdos always show up who think that legal rights also apply to everyday life? There is no courtroom evidentiary standard outside the courtroom: if two people say conflicting things, you make your own decision based on your perception of their trustworthiness who is most likely to be true and act…

The idea that people with privilege aren’t allowed to ever talk honestly about the things they struggle with is absurd and toxic. Being human is hard for EVERYONE. The only way to get through this life is to have a little empathy for your fellow humans.

The ONLY way to vote on this is not to click. You clicked AND commented, which is a huge double vote for more of this content. Stop voting for it, and maybe they’ll stop posting it. Continue to click and comment and it’ll go on forever.

Yes, GMG blogs have always been tabloids. Did you really just figure that out somehow? Wow.

What fucking “goalposts”? She’s doing what she wants, and what she wants can change. You sound like a sociopath.

Christ on a cracker you’re fucking dumb.

People who hit other people are, by definition, abusers. That’s what abuse means. I’m sorry you were abused, but just because it’s uncomfortable to call it that doesn’t make it acceptable to gaslight people.
