Yeah, they’re both dicks. They admitted they knew the law, knew that they were breaking it, and said repeatedly they do it again. IMO the fine isn’t enough.

Good! I signed that petition, the other day.

“Academics and literacy”, my ass. If boys are falling behind in that regard, which they very well may be, perhaps a program with focus on visual-spatial abilities, and in an area which already has a major underreprentation of girls (engineering and computer science), isn’t…

This wasn’t just about “the inconvenience of having to find another baker.” The owners of the bakery didn’t just refuse to bake them a cake; they also posted the couples full names, address, phone number, and email onto Facebook and encouraged people to harass them.

If $135,000 seems like a lot just for emotional damages, it is worth noting that the baker did not just refuse them service. She also published the couple’s names and home address on the Internet and encouraged people to harass them. So there was much more emotional damage than just refusing them service.

It’s not just for refusing them service. It’s also because the baker published the couple’s names and home address on the Internet and encouraged people to harass them. It’s for all of the emotional damage.

Why on earth make it ruinous to break the law, why! Why. I'm stomping and everything.

Operating a business in the public sphere means you agree to comply with anti-discrimination laws. Nobody forced the business owners to do that.

The crowd repeatedly loudly called close balls “out” when in fact they were in. It was very disconcerting; that was the major problem.

It’s pretty fucking sick and a sign of how low our expectations are that we’re impressed by $16-$28 per hour. It’s a Manhattan restaurant where everything has to be PERFECT and people are making pretty much poverty wages and we’re all OOH WOW $16 to $28.

Ee-zackly. And this isn’t snotty one percenters not tipping, this is thinking they’re tipping and the money not going where it was intended. I can see a very persuasive fraud case built against these assholes.

The economy is not and never has been bad for Per Se and the people who eat there.

I was referring to the tendency of white people to want to honor tragedies when white people are the ones suffering, but then encourage everyone to “move on” or “heal” when POC are the victims.

Jesus. Hector. Christ. I hope someone proposes during her stupid fucking wedding. I hope everyone who’s not the bride wears white just to spite her. I hope her maid of honor gives a really mean, passive-aggressive speech. I hope her aunt gets too drunk and hits on the groom, and he goes for it.

Hey, here’s a crazy idea: how about we stop fucking policing women’s language? Where are all the articles about all the words men use more than women (ETA: not directed at Tracy!)? Oh, there aren’t any because anything the majority of men say is automatically accepted as the standard.

I actually think that the world would be a better place is more men did this, instead of fewer women. I’m no expert, but I just feel like it would sure take the sting out of ‘mansplaining’ and other such bullshit if people were a little less inclined to speak as if they knew everything, especially when they don’t.

Agreed, that whole flag is bullshit.

I find it easier to think about if you switch the genders — say a married couple mutually decides to have a kid but the guy’s shooting blanks so they use a sperm donor. Then halfway into the pregnancy he decides he wants out and also doesn’t think he should have to pay child support for the kid. Dickwad, yes? Just…

I’m gullible and not quite Internet savvy so I am truly and honestly asking: are these a joke? I’m confused. What do butts and lying face down have to do with the confederate flag?

So...what, they’re doing their impressions of their favourite confederate soldiers?

sweet! Love Yoko Kanno!
