What? I mean are you some sort of weird naive fantasist? It takes more (fortunately) to win a wrongful termination lawsuit than "I complained about a celebrity and got fired 6 months later." It doesn't take much for a company to decide you're a pain and they are better off with someone who won't bother them. It's…

You seem to be assuming that they'd say that was the reason for firing her. It's not that hard to come up with a innocent reason to fire someone if you want to. Document a series of plausible-sounding complaints by her supervisor, set her up for failure, and easy-peasy. The lawsuit gets bogged down in a series of…

Isn't it about specificity though? Milk is so broad and generally available that it takes more for it to really be symbolic of hate. Pepe isn't something I'm likely to encounter in my day to day life so it more rapidly becomes associated with the alt-right in any context. There might be a hundred reason for drinking…

No but you probably should avoid getting shirts/posters/etc which are using milk in that way. Unless you're saying that symbols don't matter?

Have you ever pursued a wrongful termination lawsuit? It's not exactly easy to win (can you "prove" they terminated you because of your complaint?) and, even if you win, it can be a career killer in an industry that values celebrity very highly.

Isn't it the foreign market that propels these? Like they make good money here but squillions abroad.

It wasn't lack sales. It sold out almost instantaneously. They actually miscalculated the market the wrong way. Thought it would be a sort of niche thing and instead became a huge seller.

God I love this idea…

I think people had a higher tolerance for discomfort back then. Women slept in corsets. That idea alone is just so unpleasant to me.

People did read a lot more then. I remember learning about serialized novels from the Little House books when I was a kid and the idea of them seemed so fun. I guess they've been replaced by things like television series and fanfiction.

Should public artists have veto power over what it built around their statues? Putting your art literally in the public square means you give up a lot of control over it because it's out in public.

He was probably arrested and then horribly tormented and maybe shot. That's more an oppressive regimes's speed.

I think the Fearless Girl is dumb. But isn't the nature of public art a sort of loss of control? You don't get to decide what buildings get shoved next to your art piece for example.

Yes, I know. But, in the language of math, it is. It doesn't help to know how nouns and verbs work if you never bother to actually memorize/learn the vocabulary of the language you're trying to speak.

I guess because I'm a very non-visual learner, number lines were meaningless to me as a kid. It was far easier to learn that equations are a language you can learn. So a double negative is a positive (as it were).

I guess I struggle to see how someone who did rote addition and subtraction could "fail to grasp negative numbers"? They didn't understand the concept of less and more? I mean I remember arguing with someone in chemistry class because they couldn't grasp that dividing a small number with a big number would produce a…

I thought neither got the character right though.

Grindelwald wasn't new. Though I wish Collin Farrel was playing him. Is that who you meant?

She wrote the screenplay.

Barely competent at writing? I mean I guess it depends on how you define competence. Phasing out rote learning has certainly not improved our facility with either subject.
