For the three-hundred-billionth-fucking time, TOLERANCE DOES NOT MEAN HAVING TO ACCEPT OTHERS' INTOLERANCE.

That's technically true, but the vast majority of food served at a sushi restaurant does contain raw fish or shellfish. If you want to avoid eating any of it, you really do have to ask ahead.

Maybe you've never seen it, but you probably only go out to eat once or twice a week for an hour at a time, right? Servers have to spend 4-12 hours a day dealing with other people's kids and their bullshit. Trust us when we say poorly trained kids are an issue.

Your perspective is boring. (As for my crazy story: Yesterday, a woman came in and tried to buy the industrial size tub of cottage cheese we use to stock the salad bar. When told we couldn't sell her that—we had no way to price it, after all—she started crying and told us this long story about how she had had a…

Your point seems to be basically, "Most times are normal, but some times are weird." Yes, we get that. The point of this series is to highlight the weird times.

I prefer to pretend that DC folded in 2011, and sadly we never got any more comics from them.

Glad my years wasted on comics were useful for once ;) Nerddom: the world's lamest superpower.

Actually, some of them are resentful. Some of them also think its unnatural. This was covered in Gail Simone's run on the Wonder Woman series (the last volume, pre-New 52).

3D printers have feeds for whatever material you are using, just like regular printers have feeds for whatever ink you're using. In most 3D printers, which use plastic, the plastic comes in large spools of different colors. The printer sucks in the plastic, heats it, and layers it in very thin sheets over and over…

Yeah...the only thing that would make sense to me about that is if he's got 5 older sisters or something. Or when she says "dresses" she means "doll clothes" and not "dresses for humans"

I'd by *quality* things, and probably invest more in organic/free trade/better-for-the-world-not-mass-produced stuff. But $45 for a napkin? Get outta here.

I have the *worst* coworker right now. She's a borderline alcoholic, and since we work Sunday mornings (at a food court/cafeteria type place) she comes in hungover every week. She tells me "funny" stories about how she hasn't slept at her own house for two weeks and lost her friend's shoes, and once woke up in the…

As a lesbian, it is my professional opinion that he was indeed creepy. There are some social situations where it is better not to acknowledge any potential creepiness. Like if you stand next to someone in the subway and they glance at you, you don't say, "Oh, don't worry, I won't mug you!" That increases the creepy,…

I also have difficult feet, and I find Born shoes to be very comfortable and fairly reasonable (heels are around $60-100). Clarke's are also good, but more expensive. You might also consider going to a podiatrist who can tell you what exactly your foot structure is and what to look for in shoes that will fit you best.…

But see, don't your relatives believe that based on the idea that plots about witchcraft are fundamentally devil worship? If you believe that all plots about witchcraft are bad, then reading Harry Potter isn't going to make it not devil-worshippy. Personally, I think there's pretty much no way in which the idea behind…

I guess I just don't think there's many ways to spin "drag queen pretends to kill trans woman" except as, you know, a drag queen pretending to kill a trans woman.

Youtube most likely, but why would you want to?

Well, that's easy to answer. By linking a consequence to an action ("if you keep this offensive video up, we will no longer be using your news site") it creates an incentive for the company to act in a socially responsible manner ("if we keep this video up, we'll lose more views than we gain from the video, so we'll…

Why should a news site post a video that has zero journalistic worth? No one is debating the idea that this dude has the right to produce whatever shit he wants. But that doesn't mean he's exempt from criticism for it, or that the community this video attacks aren't able to express their anger at it. People are also…

I never said anything about Vox Day being an "unperson," just that tolerance doesn't mean I have to treat his views as valid and reasonable. Tolerance means accepting all people as worthy of equal rights and fair treatment. It does not mean pretending that views like "martial rape doesn't exist" and "gay people are…
