That's not investing, that's saving in a dollar-denominated asset pool backed by securitized ownership interests.

Which as important a political issue any, I suppose.

There was at least one episode where one of the characters found out a woman another was dating/sleeping with was "actually a dude".

And the swastika was used for 12000 years as a symbol of whatever it was prior to being co-opted by western society as a symbol of the jewhate.

I'm definitely getting some pings on the ol' gaydar as well... French Horn, Theater, Bright Colored Shirts.

Mandating dress codes is already permissible in the workplace

Constitutional authority is mostly a joke these days, but for what it's worth the Congress does claim authority for the ACA through the foreign/interstate/with native tribes commerce clause. The only truly unconstitutional requirement I can think of in the ACA is the tax on tanning salons, which aside from a few…

I've met several "feminists" who just stand there and give you dirty looks if you hold a door open for them, especially it's the only door. A couple even argued with me.

Good point, we should ignore the safety of workers in favor of the safety of customers.

Well the last one was just me making a ridiculous joke. Even still, it's true that reducing the total future tax base through any means whatsoever is bad for entitlements. The CEOs aren't going to be dicked out of their retirement, it's gonna be the average janes and joes.

I don't agree with Hobby Lobby's decisions, but your arguments are technically weak and I'm enough of a douchebag to argue the technical points of human issues as if people were only hypothetical.

It is totally their fault for choosing to follow orders, for choosing the job in the first place and for staying with it after going for my junk six weeks in a row. That many conscious choices in a row creates culpability. "Just doing their job" seems to be the go-to excuse for committing crimes in uniform. The few…

I see now. Yeah, the financial benefits of paid ma/paternity leave do go up with higher wage/salary levels. However, the actual benefit of making sure you're there for the kid in their most vulnerable stages is the same at any income level. Anything that promotes more stable parent-child relationships shouldn't be…

"Maternity/Paternity leave is retrogressive" is how I read that. Is that what you meant to say? Because if you don't favor new parent leave then you're kind of a dick.

Feels are totally not logical, I agree.

The Lilly Ledbetter Act is a step towards solving discrimination, but I'm not sure that discrimination is so easily demonstrated as to be solvable.

It looked way more to me like she actually just has no idea one way or the other and didn't want to cop to the fact that she pretends to be other, sometimes fictional, people for a living. I'm not saying she's stupid, I'm just saying that fame doesn't imbue the ability to answer such questions intelligently in the…

Yeah, I definitely wasn't disagreeing

Well, the only thing in common with all my failed relationships IS me...

Every girl I've ever dated thinks "nerdy" is a "look" that can be achieved with thick rim glasses and a white button up. I'm not generalizing, every single one of them has expressed this exact thought to me with words and deeds. Bar none. I think it stems from a belief that clothing choices "express oneself", but…
