It’s kind of a shame that there isn’t a segment with a US based interrogation since the Reid technique so ubiquitous here is specifically not used in places like England. It would be really edifying to see contrasting examples of interrogations meant to extract confessions versus gather information.

I hate the term “virtue signalling” because 99.9% of the time it’s used by garbage people who don’t think there could possible be decent people in the world who just want to do the right thing...

How is the leather bondage gear at TJ Maxx? I haven’t been in a while.

I mean, don’t put all gay people on a pedestal, Milo Yiannopoulos is gay, and somehow managed to become the face of that Straight Parade garbage movment. So if even gay people can be such shit allies, that shit “ally” dudemight have some shit gay friends ^^

You never know, people are fantastic, they will always find…

Speaking of good ally, I wonder if he asked any of his gay friends if they were offended by a straight couple shopping there.  Actually I don’t wonder because there’s no way he asked anyone this and still sent that letter. 

Yeah, I think, “Protect queer businesses by buying shit online, instead of at those queer businesses” is probably not a great strategy for protecting queer businesses.

Correct. If they were there just taking “fun selfies” or some dumb shit, I’d say they should GTFO, but they were giving the store money, which for a store is the ultimate form of support.

RQS got their wires cross and meant to send this to Salty Waitress. She fields a lot more of these “entitled assholes that need to be put in their place”.

*Patronizes only straight-owned businesses, watches nothing but TV shows starring straight people and refuses to talk with anyone gay*

To the first letter-writer: So ...

Yeah, I live on Christopher St., (If you want to discuss straight people making gay spaces their own...) My gf and I go to the gay BDSM stores all the time. Staff is great. We’re supporting a local business in a non-condescending way. We’re respectful and know we’re their secondary audience. No one has an issue. Hell,…

Yeah, tbh someone saying of themselves they are an ally is kind of a red flag for me.

Allies don’t say it. Allies shut the fuck up until they are needed, and then they help, and go back to shutting the fuck up.
If you want praises, do something deserving of praises. Being a decent human is not.

LOL, that respect queer space dude must have quite a lot of issues going out in San Francisco if he doesn’t wanna cross the threshold of GaySpaceTM :D

It’s a business ffs, not a support group.

Why doesn’t he just go on one of those dating sites for kinky people? Isn’t that the glaringly obvious solution????

Working title “The assholes”

Her mom mocks her boyfriend for being in a wheelchair, her boyfriend mocks her mom for having a “low-class” job. Nobody’s actually met the boyfriend in person because it’s an online relationship that nevertheless has a BDSM component.

Rereading that letter, I actually want to slap the guy.

That second letter was basically Savage-by-numbers.

My Daddy comes from a middle-class family and has been known to say insensitive shit on occasion about working-class people

stayed for the kid as I did most of the parenting. She is about to go off to college. there will be an ultimatum conversation soon.
