“Just because I had to suck it up, so should you” is a shit argument that is anathema to progress for the sole purpose of making people who went through a thing first feel better about having gone through that thing. An untenable situation should not be maintained solely for the sake of optics; if it’s fucking broken,…

They ruled it an out-of-network provider, probably.

Aww I hurt their feelings! They came back to bitch some more.

I see they came back to complain even more.

The thing is, what they hate being called out on is in having voted 3rd Party in 2016 because they hated Clinton and supported Sanders in the primary. They are the textbook definition of a hypocrite and do everything they can to rationalize their guilt away.

I’m sure the pro-sandwich commentariat - no matter the gender - all offer up their services for her post Shepard life.

Your correction would be correct, because even this wasn’t monstrous enough a hit to say it went into orbit.

Quite simply, you don’t know any black people.

There’s one other issue here that you’re not considering though, and that’s that the N-word (and others) is not an invective (it is not socially proscribed, to reference your terminology newly introduced to the conversation) in every context in which it’s used, which is why that context matters. There are absolutely…

Except you’re specifically bringing your academic engagement on the subject to this discussion, so it’s fair game. You provided a quotation and everything; I don’t think it’s wrong to assume you’ve accurately boiled down your position into that brief quotation. If you didn’t accurately convey your thoughts, then fair…

Normally we’d say everyone can punch out early to celebrate this news and toast to Spitzer’s work, but frankly, there’s a big delivery coming in tonight and it’d actually be better if you could all stay late, instead.

Every profane word in our language either had a polite meaning before it became profane, or is derived from a word with a polite meaning that we made profane

Hey! How did you guess the plan Trump’s new Fed Reserve people intend to push once installed?!

Starting out by dismissing my on-topic comment, and then coming in bad faith to lecture me isn’t good enough.

By the way, Ugh. is one of the dismissers too. They literally refuse to engage, and as you can see constantly references something they hate having been called out on that happened years back. It hasn’t been brought up by me in a long time, yet Ugh. uses it as justification to not stay on-topic.

I remember my parents leaving a gift for our mail carrier and his family every year, but I just assumed it was because we were family friends: he was an assistant coach on many of my youth sports teams, his kid was on the teams with me, and we spent time at each others’ houses. I had no idea it was a tipping thing…

As if you aren’t also one of those cowardly fucks who refuses to engage on the issues, instead dismissing me over some grudge you can’t move past, but which hasn’t been brought up by me in a long time.

Agreed. My starting tip is already above 20% and often reaches 30%, and a server has to really clearly be awful (not just because they’re busy or seem to be having a bad night) to get my bare minimum of 15%.
