You have a much more optimistic view of humans than I do. Are you sure you've met any? Or more than a handful? Ever worked retail or a call center?

Anyway, I assure you many are that stupid, that ignorant and a few are even that arrogant.

Ugh. The approach of the Texas legislature seems to be when they lose on the merits, they just find ways to be dickish. Also, they empower or in this case, coerce, state and city employees to be dicks for them. They're trying really hard to do it for abortions (mostly succeeding) and gay marriage.

...uh, you do know I'm a Texan, right? You do know I went to school at UT and was a member of the capitol press corps? Oh, and I did my graduate work at another Texas university in government and political science? Uh huh. I thought not.

i want to call it right now, that is the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

a) she was a complete asshole about it.

You shouldn't make fun of those commenters. They might come from somewhere that doesn't value common sense.

Ooh boy I can't wait for the arguments people make trying to defend laundry detergent lady. SOME PEOPLE AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH YOUR HIGH-CLASS FANCY KITCHEN STORES AND SO MISTAKE THEM FOR TRADER JOE'S ALL THE TIME! MAYBE SHE WAS FROM A DIFFERENT CULTURE WHERE COOKING OIL LOOKS LIKE OUR LAUNDRY DETERGENT! IT IS

Even without the Palin association, there is something squidgy going on with Puppy Jake.

Why is preparing food not worthy of a livable wage? Why should we support industries that lobbied for deregulation and wage cuts so that they could insure a steady stream of both workers and customers (often one and the same)?

Someone once wrote Dan Savage (of Savage Love) asking, "I like doing x. Am I weird?"

I wish there were more people in the world like this grandfather. If there were, we wouldn't get so many people out there unable to process simple facts like "I'm sorry, your password can be reset, but it's going to take a few minutes." "Well, that is UNACCEPTABLE." Really? I think you'll find if you really sit

It's not that I have anything against Maria—in fact, I hope she's making videos off of these fetish (would you call them fetish?)

I know people who are into ASMR and I would never knock it. It's a way to relieve stress and anxiety, it's free, and people who use it are being proactive about self-care.

Oh yeah, totally logical. When I place a to go order and they ask for a name, I'm always like, "Let me show you the facebook page of the person the order is for." Restaurants love that because it's so much more efficient than just saying, "Steve." What a wacky misunderstanding!

Makes sense. It's so much harder for them to get married and have it be respected, I think it's not done as lightly as it may be in other cases. Straight couples sometimes feel the need to be married because they're pregnant, because it's expected, because they want sex (religious), etc. Gay couples get married

Oh fuck you so, so, so hard.

I'm glad restaurants are coming up with a way to pay their servers fairly, I'm so sick of this sub minimum wage bullshit. Like last week for example, I had to come back from visiting family so I could work the Friday after Thanksgiving. I rushed back from my trip and went straight to work to have one table all night

Probably because like most people she can't just pick a job out of a hat and suddenly be employed. People work where they have to work.

Yeah, like — most of what Mags does is ostensibly to free his people from FUCKING GOVERNMENTS THAT HAVE CREATED LITERAL DEATH MACHINES WHOSE ONLY PURPOSE IS TO KILL HIS KIND.

My guess is that she's never going to apologize about this "spoiler", and re-raising the issue on a post about something infinitely more seriously isn't going to change that.
