dude, quit trying to find ways to phrase it so that I’m “ok with it happening.” I’m not ok with it happening. But the government does not have the power to stop everything that I am not ok with.

The right to do business with other people isn’t something you’ll find super explicit in the constituion, but somewhere between the first amendment (protecting the freedom of speech and assembly) and Article 1 Section 10 of the constitution (preventing States from impairing obligations of contract) it’s pretty heavily…
So, bake out of your home with no business licence or health inspection certification, and don’t advertise? That’s not really a realistic (or legal) option, and I think you know that. Owning a shop and doing business in public is not using a government service (unless you’re like leasing space on government land I…
I’m not trolling, I’m pointing out to you that a protected class does not do what you think it does.
I’m not cool if it happens. Dude should be heckled, picketed, run out of town. But the government should not be in the business of selling cakes.
Protected classes aren’t protected from EVERYTHING. They are protected against laws that unnecessarily discriminate against that class without a compelling government interest. An individual baker not wanting to sell a cake to a woman, or a black person, or a gay person is not the same as a law that prohibits such…
There are huge swaths of society that don’t want to associate with other huge swaths. That’s not something that the government can fix by flexing its muscle, and it’s not the same thing as the government enforcing “separate but equal” spaces in government and essential services. A baker not wanting to do business with…
I’m not trying to defend anything. It’s morally reprehensible.
No, I assure you I’m as liberal as you are. But I don’t want to be told that I have to do business with nazis or MRA hooligans. But the flip side of that is, they don’t want to be told that they have to do business with me either. Free speech cuts both ways.
I’m certainly not advocating for “whites only” anything. But I think it’s dangerous for the government to get involved in telling people that they have to do anything.
The right to travel freely is something the Supreme Court has specifically identified as a constitutional right contained within liberty.
That would be awful and bigoted. It also would be (or should be) entirely within the shopkeeper’s discretion what products he offers to what customers, for any and all reasons. Imagine a snooty chef, who refuses to offer his best dishes to uncultured customers, reserving a “VIP menu” for friends and critics...…
When the Supreme Court tackled this before, it was restaurants and hotels and buses at issue. “Common carriers,” the types of business that one cannot avoid doing business with when traveling. Allowing hotels and restaurants to refuse to do business with people was essentially the same as refusing those people the…
It’s easy to just say fuck this guy for being a homophobe... but honestly, baking a cake really is a First Amendment speech action. It isn’t really extraordinary for a baker to claim that they’re communicating something with their food... I’ve yet to see an episode of Chef’s Table where the subject didn’t wax poetical…
Walla Walla is classy classy. Love that town <3
I feel like theres probably some sort of alarming conclusion to be drawn about Sora apparently not being human, if he enters Toy Story world in the form of a toy instead of a child.
You... parsed that incorrectly. Read it again, sweety: she was so surprised that he proposed, PAUUUUSE, so SHE insisted HE propose again. Not she was surprised that he proposed that she propose that he propose. You’re making it too hard on yourself :p
I put about 10 hours in, and still just felt panicked and bad, uninstalled it. I mean, obviously OTHER PEOPLE are getting good, but... like I just don’t get how.
Yeah, but like, maybe they’re right sometimes? Ive been stuck in low-elo hell in paragon lately, where i cannot stop getting matched with gamethrowing and ragequitting low silver/high bronze players despite being mid gold myself (paragon has TERRIBLE matchmaking). And like, I just have this hunch that if I could just…
