CAN WE JUST RAISE PRICES AND GET RID OF TIPPING? Ugh.

I'm white, but that doesn't look like blackface to me...?

Corporations, if done right, do whatever they can for money. Government, when done right, do things for the public and is beholden to the public... If done right. Large difference.

without resorting to half-baked, dramatized drivel like that

Can you explain to me how bottling and selling water during a drought is not sociopathic? If corporations are people then Nestle meets every single criteria for sociopathy. You actually come off as more concerned for the feelings of this entity than what it is doing to our collective resources, which is absurd. You

No, you. Pinkham was stating a simple fact. Corporations have one purpose: to make money. They're amoral. When they do nice things, it's for PR, which enhances profit.

I’m fascinated by you because you are racist and oblivious to it and you loved the thrill of helping a man cheat on his partner while she had cancer. And you kept THEIR notes.

Yeah. People are fascinated by you, but not for the reasons you think.

...getting a peak into black America!? please tell me you are like...100 years old...

When will (white) people stop being so baffled by normal ass black people?

I’m genuinely amazed that he avoided the words “well spoken” in describing her. I’m also amazed that he didn’t name two white players as goals for her to be kept by.

Oh, the fucking handshakes! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to shake hands with a man in a business context without him stopping to say some condescending shit like “Oh ho ho, what a firm grip you have!” like I’m a particularly clever toddler who just demonstrated she knows how to use a light-switch. For older guys

OH GOD. I work in manufacturing, soft sexism/racism is my life. Like, maybe you should just not talk about how “Black Lives Matter” protesters are protesting the wrong thing when your boss is a WOC?

I was told that my attire was “too corporate” and that I should try to “soften” my look up. My normal attire is button down shirts and slacks, just like the other (male) employees. I asked what the clothing allowance was so that I could replace my presumably offensive wardrobe on the company’s dime.

I work in education, specifically special education, so this isn’t usually an issue at my school site, though I have seen instances where, say, a male psychologist on the team insists that he is the only person who makes eligibility decisions, when in fact those are team decisions.

i’ve had musicians look really uncomfortable at the prospect of working with me (i’m a sound engineer)

I love baseball, and since I have lady parts, I’ve spent my whole life having men try to diminish my opinions or my passion. I called a sports talk radio show once to answer a trivia question and had the (male) host ask, “Did your boyfriend give you the answer?” I wore a shirt for one of my favorite players while

I work for a big utility company in a technical position, and I am one of 6 women in a group of over 30 people. The majority of the company’s 23,000 employees are male, and the overwhelming majority of women in the company work in administrative support, clerical, or other non-technical roles. The culture can be

Ah, yes. When I was hired, the job description said X amount of money. I got less then X, tried to negotiate, and was told in a year I would be bumped up. In a year, I got rave performance reviews and told I was doing everything perfectly. However, all of a sudden, “Nobody gets raises or promotions” before 2 years.

I edit a beer magazine so me and the SO go to beer bars and breweries quite a lot. Every single time the bartender will strike the conversation up with my SO about beer styles, trends, etc. and he’ll have to gesture over to me with while saying “I dunno, I don’t know much about beer. She’s the editor of xxyy magazine.
