Then you're demisexual. High five, me too!

So every mutation should go into the description of a species? Your argument is basically that any distinction with a debatable cutoff point doesn't exist.

She is a realistic example of extreme weight loss. Would it be better to only show people that can turn into a tight size 6?

John the Baptist cried out in the wilderness and people went out to listen to him. This guy cried out in the middle of the town square and everyone left. I don't know about you, but I'd say that's a clear hint from God.

They only bring out the black people and women when they need to put-down black people and women.

Women feed their families on pixie dust and rainbow magic

What I always hated was that I grew up as the daughter of a divorced woman who had the sole responsibility for raising the three of us. She once got passed up for a promotion because—in the words of the hiring manager at the time, "Well, [this man] has a family to feed."

Since men seem to be told almost from birth that they should be the breadwinner, they should support their family, they are failures if they cant do this... then most men would be happy to have that overwhelming burden removed.

Two things:

A side note: This is even MORE busted than you might think. The biologist who coined the term "alpha male" has since decided his own research was flawed and has been campaigning, without success, to have the book that coined the term (which he wrote) taken out of print. So "alpha women" is based on a "scientific" idea…

Ladies and gents we have a new troll in town. DO NOT FEED.

nice try troll face.

If places pay people $2.13 (!!?!) with anticipation of tips to make up for that, then it IS an expectation. I understand your sentiment, however. The fairly normative and polite culture of tipping is skewed by the culture of...capitalism, I guess.

Modern American restaurant tipping is, for lack of better words, fucked up. Completely and utterly fucked up. Unfortunately I think too many Americans have internalized the little power trip they get over setting someone else's income every time they sit down to eat at a restaurant. Which is probably the most fucked…

As a fellow Canadian, not sure why you think living in Canada clears you of poor form, as we still have the same tipping culture. If you don't tip bc of bad service, that's one thing, but your comment implies that the extra wages we make here are covering some extra cost (like your manners).

I'm not sure it's a gift in all places.

RE: Speaking to management about problem service.

Waitering is among the easiest casual labour to find. Sometimes people leave their jobs or move to new cities and need to pick up temporary work while looking for something better. Others might just not have any qualifications for better work or are in some middle of nowhere hole where there isn't any good work.

You…

Yeah, I feel like more attention really needs to be paid to the fact that the central idea that some employers got to pay their employees less than minimum wage on the basis of the idea that their customers might choose to give them enough to cover the difference was among the dumbest things ever legislated.

This. This is why I detest the entire Republican party, rather than just the wingnuts.
