Baron Trump is a child. It is inexcusable for an adult to make fun of a child.

And Ms. DeVos, faced with the choice of resigning or defying the president, has agreed to go along.

I don’t totally agree with everything here and I don’t think we should spend our lives policing each other over minor infractions but am really starting to dislike the Roxane Gay ‘Bad Feminist’ crowd that screams down anyone critical of other women who let the side down for their own selfish, bullshit reasons. No,…

> This is what I do! Anytime I hear a racist/sexist/homophobic “joke” I just look at them blankly and say, “I don’t get it.”

So she’s basically the face of “the only moral abortion is my abortion?

That assumes the child is making an actual choice and not being manipulated by one parent. In an ideal world sure. But if the parent or parents are manipulators it’s not really the child’s choice.

Mmm yes good point, I forgot there’s literally no middle ground between our current system and Venezuela.

Thanks for the explainer. Everyone but you has been pronouncing it ‘see-oh,’ and wondering what the hell it means, innit? You must be very grown up. 

Not really the point. The point is the CEO, while valuable, does not add value on remotely the kind of scale to justify their salaries.

A competent CEO’s salary is only partially justified by the value they add to the company. The rest is a kind of economic placebo effect. So millions of dollars that could go to…

And paying a worker $15/hr will make your Big Mac cost $20, except that’s not true either.

Are you under the impression that someone in this world was not aware that CEO stood for chielf executive officer?

I assume it’s something more along the lines of “CEO’s have an important role in an organization, but are not worth 200x the average employees salary”.

The difference is that Ghandi’s offensive views were not intrinsically tied up in his activism for independence. Sanger’s WERE. Sanger’s pro-choice views were partially (if not nearly all) informed by her view that there were “certain classes” of humans (the poor, the disabled, the non-white) who were simply “less…

Pretty sure it helped the arresting officers. I’m sure they’ve already benefited from a high profile arrest, and receive no consequences for some ruling about rights 2 years later.

Why is it so hard for police to understand that denying people their rights helps no one; not them, not the DA, and not the people they’ve arrested.

Married for almost a decade. Not so hard. Maybe because I didn’t rush into it until I was older. Two marriages dunzo by 32 is suggesting something.

Why does everyone think millenials are so young?? Our youngest are in their mid 20s and oldest in their mid 30s. We had landlines. I remember getting told off (a lot) as a child for listening in.

I like your post. I am unmoved by these ridiculous efforts to defend the dignity of someone who willingly goes on The Bachelor/ette as a suitor or a bachelor/ette.

No one here would deny that people on these shows are fame-seekers. Obviously they are. That is something different than a gold digger.

Don’t be disheartened by the response. You’re not wrong. Your only mistake was in making that observation on an article that only fans of the Bachelor would possibly care to comment on. They’re apparently still under the delusion that these people aren’t vapid, attention-seeking, wannabe celebrities willing to sleep…
