Nothing new here. Trickle down economics. The whole mindset of trickle down economics explains much of what republicans stand for: only the rich are have proven themselves worthy (by being rich), therefore only the rich matter.

Extremely well put

People are jerks sometimes. If you feel like someone is being condescending, I think you should just feel free to call them out on it. I feel like your comment is a bit condescending and I’m calling you out on it. If you feel like my reply is condescending, just say so. The term manslaining will never be taken…

Percentages? Let me “mansplain” it to you. Percentages imply numbers, numbers imply facts. Vague words like “most often” imply nothing but the bias of the author

Cool.

“many cultures find the idea of handkerchiefs repulsive”

Counterpoint: Dressing nicely might score you a free upgrade (but very likely won’t), while dressing comfortably is a sure bet.

I have a Z Wave lock on my front door and getting another for my back door. These are, in my mind, infinitely more secure than traditional locks because they tell me the current status of the lock, they tell me when they are locked or unlocked and unless the Z Wave signal is intercepted (which means someone would have…

Sorry but this is a horseshit opinion. Coke Zero tastes a lot different from Diet Coke, it’s sweeter and has that spicy, slightly citrusy flavor to it like Coca-Cola whereas Diet Coke does not. (The “base formula” of Coke Zero is the original Coke formula whereas the base formula of Diet Coke was and is the New Coke…

So true. Whenever people get on their hobby horse about “simplifying” this or that, my usual response is to the effect of, “if people weren’t greedy and made a point of always doing the right thing, we wouldn’t need to keep finding ways to plug the loopholes.”

The irony being that Trump supporters in the Rust Belt are heavily unionized. Given the chance, Trump would fuck them all over.

Thank you. I’ve been studying this issue for a number of years now, so it’s one of those things that I simply can’t let the bullshitters get away with. One ding-dong already tried to dismiss my data with some crap about “but, but the free market really does work!” I told him to give me some data proving his point, but…

Gonna need some data for you to prove this. I showed you mine, now you show me yours, or go away and spew this to someone who doesn’t know any better.

That guy hasn’t read Obamacare and is wrong about it not allowing sale of insurance across state lines. In fact Obamacare explicitly permits that.

Okay, I’ll play:

Did you try using your words first on the plane? I would imagine simply asking, probably would have gotten your space back just as easily

Or someone could say, “Excuse me, I’d like to sit there” like a grown ass adult.

It’s 2017, women are capable of standing.

Well all due respect how are we ever going to be “equal” if people like you keep insisting we treat people differently? I’ve had injuries before and NO one offered me their seats. Men work harder than women and “children” we deserve to take a load of our feet after a hard days work. Besides, all we get for trying to…
