Anyways, I tend to think that this will not encourage more litigation and I definitely don’t think that it will lead to a system where “it is more rewarding to let someone get hurt on the job and then sue.”

In the troll’s post, the redhat illustrates his fever dream of a dsytopian future in which a fascist federal government has violently stifled dissent (except apparently in elementary school classrooms?).

Reposted where it can’t be dismissed by the troll. 

I cut out Facebook almost entirely a few months back and I don’t miss it at all. It’s a nice way to keep up with family and acquaintances, but overall I think it’s a much bigger negative than positive, even with careful pruning.

They refuse to engage in good-faith discussion, debate and democracy, so they leave people with little “civil” recourse to their fascism. They should get the message that spitting is just about the mildest form of civil unrest and rebellion, and things can get much, much worse if they continue to refuse to listen to…

Hell, I hope she spit on him in the name of the Democratic Party and American progressives in general, and that our rhetoric encourages more spitting on fascists going forward.

“If you ignore the fact that this adult son of our current president isactively and enthusiastically complicit in his administration’s crimes against humanity, this is exactly like if someone had spit on our former president’s teenage children!”

Did you just equate the innocent children of four former president to the adult family members of our current president that are actively participating in his administration that is imprisoning and torturing innocent children?

I think the expectation that player-designed levels present an equal challenge to both single and multiplayer playthroughs is kind of on you, no? What a strange thing to be bothered by.

Depression, mental illness and social media are such a toxic combo. Someone suffering can be lifted up by the well-wishing of others, but they can also be shoved into very dark depths by those that are inconsiderate and hateful. Sadly, the power of hate too often seems to overwhelm any positivity that comes with…

I’m not wealthy and not from the South and I’m familiar with the three-day wedding as described above (rehearsal, wedding, post-brunch). But most weddings I’ve attended over the last decade-plus required travel on my part, so maybe it’s more of a common routine for weddings that expect a decent amount of visitors from…

He’s said worse things over the years and kept his slot. Probably doesn’t hurt that he’s a part-owner of the station. 

But they wouldn’t be worth $250k to a for-profit baseball team. The reason certain players are worth so much is because they can do things that very few others can, and people are entertained by their rare talents and willing to spend money to watch them perform. 

Look, I don’t disagree with you at all on the larger philosophical level. It’s absurd that our society values entertainers (which includes pro athletes) over schoolteachers and most other professions. 

You have your cause and effect messed up. The players are payed such massive salaries because the franchises they play for make a shit-ton of money from people paying to watch them play (and eating expensive food while doing so). There’s also ad revenue and TV deals, which are also a direct result of the demand for…

None of this makes sense. Concessions and tickets aren’t expensive because players make millions, they are expensive because that is what consumers have shown they will pay for the product.

“It’s all over,” Lazer Sternhell, a real-estate investor and broker in New York told the Wall Street Journal, we assume while crying. “You can’t raise the rents. You can’t deregulate.”

Sadly, it’s not just tourists that park their lazy asses on the left side of escalators. Pedestrian etiquette is sorely lacking and getting worse in NYC, I’ve found. 

Is there a region where the rule isn’t “stand on one side, walk on the other?”
