Basically, Hobby Lobby etc. believes that IUDs and Plan B are the same as abortion, because there's a tiny chance that one of the ways they prevent pregnancy is by making it difficult for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterine wall. There's multiple problems with that though, since science has pretty clearly proven…

Yeah you totally come off like an ass right here...there's about a hundred links on the SCOTUS blog, and it really isn't clear how to get to the most concise answer once you get to the page. If you felt so obligated to reply, how hard would it have been to say "Hobby Lobby thinks that IUDs and Plan B = abortion,…

Oh my god you sound exactly like all the nuts on here going on about gun regulation..."Knives could have killed those kids too!!!! Should we ban them next?" Machine guns make killing people easier and faster, as do giant jaws and muscles on a dog.

Yeah, no one (or at least very few people) on here even bat an eye when a post about parents after a shooting, whose kids actually DIED, turns into a debate about gun regulation...but say something bad about pit bulls? You're so insensitive!!!

And what's to say you're not over-generalizing from your experience? I get that some cities have great thrifting options, but a whole lot don't. Quite a few commenters have agreed with me, so I don't think this is a ridiculous statement. I've lived in cities all around the south with the same problem...and maybe it's…

Thanks for that :) As fun as it is to be a punching bag...

Also, her race was never mentioned...

I think she made it pretty clear that she wasn't shitting on 8-year-old laborers, actually she said that multiple times. She was expressing what a lot of young college grads in the US are experiencing...that the mantra of "Go to college! Get an education in what you love! Be successful(TM)!" we were fed by our parents…

I buy plenty of clothes at thrift shops, but they're generally in the category of things that I could never wear to work (old jeans, t-shirts, etc.). My point is that most cities don't have much of a business-appropriate section that would be fitting for a petite person in their 20s, or really anyone trying to look…

None of what I've been saying is a plan to solve inhumane labor. The OP said something (it's all the old people's fault), and I expressed my disagreement. I don't know what the solution is, but saying that we're faultless and wonderful because we like Tom's and Warby Parker isn't it (OP's idea, not yours), especially…

I'm sure you didn't look like a crazy aunt! And at the very least, never worrying about someone matching you is a nice perk...Target bathing suits, anyone? My biggest problems with thrifting are always the cuts and the fabrics, so it's pretty cool that you had the skills to get around half of that!

Psh, I'm an engineer. I understand how IP addresses work. If basketballamericans is on a LAN and a bunch of his friends get banned too, they can take that up with him.

Nothing in my posts was actually about a realistic solution to inhumane practices, I was simply pointing out that the youth are not blameless, and pretending that we are is not productive. And yeah, they would not go out of business right away...if (young) people stopped shopping there because of their labor…

Sorry for the kinja mobile screwup, I thought you were workburner. But what you've said is just an excuse for continuing the status quo. People before us opened shitty stores and made shitty practices the norm, and then told us we neeeeeeeed them to be cool or whatever. So what? That counts as a free pass to just keep…

Oh please, I don't need your snark. I'm not under any impression that this is new. I absolutely will blame people who shop there (myself included) for "continuing the status quo", as you said in your original post, because that is literally what shopping there is doing. If all young people really shopped on Etsy,…

Ha! That's very very true. Translating out of technical language is a rare gift, and even the engineers who have it generally hate using it.

Young people also are the reason stores like Forever 21 and H&M exist...

Also, to everyone commenting about thrifting if you can't afford shopping at approved stores, what fairy land thrift stores exist where you are? I'm in a decently sized city with multiple colleges, and yet if I got all my clothes at thrift shops I'd look like someone's crazy aunt...not to mention ever wearing anything…

Haha, except STEM majors are the ones making the computers.

Yeah this collective shitting on you was totally uncalled for. **internet hug**
