Here’s your regular reminder, the article explaining which I can sadly no longer find, that this trend of men’s sneakers with stupid oversized heels was all due to one Italian designer who insists that small feet aren’t masculine, and so made designer sneakers with giant oversized soles so that insecure men could butch…

a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy’s beliefs

pfft. If we’re crash-landed on some mountain in the Andes and you die, so would people eat you.

This was standard practice at Wal-Mart for decades. In fact, California estimated that the public subsidies Wal-Mart employees were consequently qualified to receive amounted to a taxpayer-funded subsidy of Wal-Mart’s business that was worth billions.

This would be great. Cut everybody’s wages 20%, but like the article says they’d actually be more productive, so the JOB CREATORS can see even more return for their business acumen. Also, keep the classification of “full-time” at 40h/wk, so now nobody gets benefits (as if anybody were getting any health insurance or…

Ah, that’s probably it. I use Brave (which, btw, is a really good browser), and it blocks cross-site tracking by default. I’m not sure if there’s a way to write in specific exceptions. I’ll look into it.

Also, I note this here, but Kinja seems absolutely fucked for me. I can log in fine on jezebel and i09, but any other site I log in and the window just disappears without logging me in. I can’t comment anywhere but these two sites. :(

Well, she does say she goes from zero to thinking she’s a wizard with two drinks, so I’d accept the claim that she gets like this off of kid-size painkillers.

Oooo, is this the not-bedding-regrets thread! I have one!

Haha! Too bad the Virginia electoral map is gerrymandered to shit and the Democrats, despite winning 60% of the vote last election, still don’t have a majority! That law will never get changed by a Republican majority.
