They can’t be prosecuted for false imprisonment because no one was actually locked in the store. They all had the option to leave via the emergency exits—on pain of being fired, of course, but that’s not the same thing as being under actual threat of bodily harm. This kind of thing is common in retail, and though it…

Not to mention the fact that Trump himself refuses to, y’know, give up his personal phone.

I ain’t no lawyer, but if I had to guess, I’d say this might cause some legal issues for the administration. If the plaintiffs can prove that the decision to revoke TPS was based on fraudulent reasoning and that the real motivation was general anti-immigrant sentiment, they may be able to get it delayed or reversed in…

It changes for me based on how close I get to my laptop speakers. Far away = Laurel, close up = Yanny.

Okay, so it seems I fed the troll. I promise I usually do a better job of checking that before I reply :/

People have Slave and Master fetishes and all sorts of other stuff. It’s actually pretty normal and worth exploring.

You know, I’ve read a lot of your comments, and I just want to say that you might be the most pretentious, sanctimonious, holier-than-thou asshole on this fucking website. And given the crowd around here, that is really saying something!

I’d just like to point out that it’s not “this generation” who is really to blame here, but the girl’s Millenial or Gen-Xer parent(s).

I get that, I really do. We can’t let this shit get too normalized. That said... this was just not “one of her most disastrous performances yet”. It was the same as all of her other performances—which have all been terrible because they are filled with lies, but her actual delivery is as unflappable as ever, so this…

Ya’ll (and specifically, Katherine) keep posting these articles like

Kids reading about this in 30 years:

There’s one problem with that, and it’s the same reason why Google or Apple or anyone else doesn’t do those things: fiduciary duty. Fiduciary duty is a cancer that stifles any and all chances for corporate goodwill. This is what people don’t realize about corporations: once you become publicly traded, your first, last…

Yeah, that’s the worst part. My girlfriend grew up with two brothers. The whole family was very strictly Catholic, but did her parents ever give one solitary shit about who her brothers were dating or who they were fucking? No, of course not!

I honestly cannot fucking believe that in 2018, there are still people who think the “I’m going to vaguely threaten to murder my daughter’s suitor if he impugns her chastity” schtick is either funny or appropriate in any way.

If a hospital provides medical care to your kid, you get a bill. That’s....that’s how this works. That’s how this has always worked.

I agree with you that those aspects of the US political system are relics of another era that need to be changed. We should move to a parliamentary system, do away with first-past-the-post voting, get rid of the electoral college, outlaw gerrymandering, and numerous other things. Every other presidential republic cast…

It is a flawed democracy, certainly, and it has often excluded people of color, women and others from its decision-making processes. But there are very few experts, NGOs or historians who would argue that it is not (or has never been) a democracy at all. Freedom House, for instance, rates the US as “Free”, giving us…

It is ever-so-fucking easy to show your ass and make fun of stable democratic government when that’s all you’ve ever known for your entire life, isn’t it?

It says his net worth is 32 million, not 432. Between the royalties on his old records (some of which were big hits) and touring revenues, 32 million isn’t too surprising.

My understanding is that Michael Ferro came up with that name all by himself.
