Well, I’m not in KS, so I’m not in my wheelhouse exactly, but this is the kicker:

You’re right, tipping shouldn’t be a thing. Companies should just pay their employees a decent wage.

I’ll bet you tell black men it’s irrational to fear the police too.

I used to be like that. Then some disrectful, entitled, asshole, catcaller wouldn’t leave my girlfriend alone while she was sitting in her car waiting to pick me up. As soon as he saw me he said (his exact words): “Oh sorry man, I didn’t know she was with you!” He didn't apologize to her. He apologized to ME for…

stranger attack < acquaintance attack =/= fear of stranger attack is irrational

You can’t unilaterally elect to sign away your parental rights. You are on the hook unless the child is placed for adoption or the custodial parent agrees not to hold you liable for child support or asks you sign away rights so a new partner can legally adopt the child. If the custodial parent wants child support, you…

Refusing to pay child support lands you in jail, I dunno what world you live in. It is completely out of the hands of either parent.

Eh, it doesn’t seem like it. Men can’t just sign away their paternity, it takes a fairly special case. Even minors who were raped have been on the hook for support.

I would disagree with your first point. Do we disproportionately stigmatize single mothers? Absolutely. No question. But men who want to be single fathers. Are often treated like a) they’re crazy or b) they’re pedophile sometimes both. Paternity leave is still not a thing in a lot of places. And there are a lot of men…

Nice gif!

He also seems to have really beat the shit out of that guy (who btw is just over 5 ft tall, so hardly a big dude) and yet there doesn’t seem to be any mention of him. Does he not count because he wasn’t under arrest? I’m confused by this!

But then we're getting into the whole "This is how you're supposed to mourn," conversation. Grief is a totally unique experience, and while most people wouldn't go that route (googling a eulogy), I could see why someone would want to have a little help in writing something.

Copying a eulogy doesn't seem that bad to me if you're a legitimately grieving spouse who doesn't know what to say but is expected to make a public speech. It's not like you're stealing it for your own personal gain.

Is it wrong that my first thought to your comment was “because he is not black.” This society needs to get its shit together. It just makes me feel despair.

thank god disisto is still alive...

Desalination, making seawater potable, is another option, which Carlsbad, north of San Diego, is now pursuing with a huge plant under construction. Australia went down this road during its epic drought in the 2000s. But the plants proved to be so prohibitively expensive to run that four of them were mothballed.…

Seriously, I live in the Bay Area, but forest fires terrify me way more than earthquakes. A major earthquake may or may not happen in the next 30 years. Epic forest fires? Pretty much guaranteed.

There is no cognitive dissonance in effect. It’s only seen as such by people trying to write pithy clickbait. The fact is that California has plenty of water for PEOPLE. Drinking, bathing, and even watering their lawns only takes up a relatively small percentage of the water currently being use while agriculture takes…

I’ve noticed that 6 hours per day (even 6 days a week) is peak production, and anything after 8 just starts affecting you negatively and compounds.

It all depends on who you’re doing it for.
