I realized I’m probably wrong. But I imagine it varies by country of origin and destination.

This puzzle is racist against people with automatic cars.

Hey, at least you’ve driven before. This one had me stumped.

Damn it! I knew I’d regret not learning to drive stick one day.

If it’s a sort of zig-zag Fibonacci like sequence then the answer would be 5. If you continue the sequence, then it would look like this:

1 3 5 8 14 21
2 4 5 9 13 23 etc.

The zig zag pattern might explain the “devious” remark. I totally suck at puzzles so I don’t usually even bother. But that’s the only thing that makes

But what is the discriminatory action here? This bakery would presumably not write that message on any cake for anyone, so it’s not discriminatory. A cake that says “Support Gay Marriage” is simply not a product that this bakery chooses to make. Why should the government force them to make it? It’s completely

This isn’t about how liberal you might or might not be. This isn’t a fucking litmus test. If Stewart was supporting a baker’s right to refuse to serve gay couples cakes that they’d make for anyone else I might agree with you, but that’s not what he’s doing. Since I would fight for a feminist baker’s right to decline

Exactly. This cake is more on the side of a political statement than someone just going about their life. If someone came in and said I want a “Support Life”, “Support Choice” cake, etc. then a business should be able to say no.

“Business owner disagrees with my beliefs/lifestyle and refuses to create a product that celebrates or memorializes same.” I’m kind of with him on thinking this is okay, in theory — if I owned a bakery and some racist skinheads came in to buy cupcakes, I would sell them cupcakes (and go “ick, ew” under my breath the

Nuance is good. I think the fight for human rights and equality on all axes shouldn’t be compromised, but I also think it’s really important to acknowledge that even with that basic value there’s more than one way of approaching policy as well as specific issues.

Mass gaslighting? Lovely. Just lovely.

I was thinking the same thing but then decided: pretension.

Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks

You’ll never go back. It’s the best solution currently out there.

Sorry - you’re just a fucking moron... I stated clearly that the father fucked up - but you were so eager to get your stars you forgot to read my whole comment...

That’s true. To be fair it seems like she was warned many times. At some point if the kids keep doing what you tell them not to you have to follow through on it or they’ll never take you seriously. If she was getting messed up (I took that to mean drunk) at 13 then a punishment was warranted. He’d apparently laid out

Ugh, do we really need to pile on here? theres no way to know what caused this. I highly doubt the dad had any inkling that she would react this way, and he’s probably blaming himself too —anyone would. public shaming seems stupid to me, too, but it also sounds like something some desperate parents might see as an

To be fair to that piece of shit, he probably didn’t even know. 13 years old don’t really talk to their parents about anything.

Or how betrayed she would feel that her own father, a person who is supposed to love and protect her, would become a bully too? She must have felt like absolutely no one would support and protect her. How terribly sad.

All I could think of while reading this was: "all your A/B/O" fics are wrong!"
