Because the disagreement isn't whether what UPS did to her was morally wrong (I think even most monsters can agree that its messed up). The disagreement is over whether the Pregnancy Discrimination Act requires work accommodations. For better reporting, see http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cas…

tell us how you really feel

well that ended pretty quick

Given the threat cancer represents to all women, I hope these comments don't turn into something ugly and hateful.

You think your reaction was bad? This player absolutely lost it when shown the clip:

I appreciate it when POC can disagree and not make it about "being a traitor."

I lived in and have many friends in South Car. The number of "Uncle Tom" and "house slave" slurs I saw on my twitter and Facebook just broke my heart. Disagreeing respectully, as you did here with just a little good-natured snark, is the…

Since it's the House that serves as the representatives of the people, and the Senate is intended to serve as representatives of states qua states (thats why every state, no matter the size gets 2) I think it make sense that it doesnt mirror the US population that closely.

I think its the other way around actually. Laypeople are barely cognizant of the process of amending laws at all, and much less are aware of specific penalties for crimes. When a layperson says "This person should be disbarred" its because they literally think that that's how the law works. That what they perceived…

Riiight, but when you use "should" in the prescriptive sense with laws, it is much more commonly used to mean that "X law should be applied in this way" not "x law should actually be y."

It would actually be weird for me to say, "that criminal should get the death penalty" when I really mean that whatever crime the…

Just let him/her have this....Some people don't understand how laws work. They just want to use the justice and professional responsibility systems to "punish" people they think are "bad"
You won't convince this person they are wrong because they are too dumb to even consider that a possibility

A $66 dollar dip on a 200 check is nearly 30%! How is that ridiculously small??

He gives it two dongs up

So she's just as annoying in person as she is on the show? Got it

jesus christ you know what he/she meant

Have you not ever used the fare quote button that's available when you get to the confirmation screen? It's right under the credit card information after you click the "Set Pickup Location"

That's actually pretty interesting. The question might be when is the contract actually formed. Is it when you download the app when sober?

Moreover, the incapacity argument about being drunk is tough when your argument was that you were too drunk to understand certain terms. Usually, arguments about your incapacity…

But you can always request a fare quote with your destination before requesting. It will give you a range within $5. It's really easy to avoid this, particularly when you're warned that "surge pricing is in effect"

It absolutely does. When you click "request uber" it says "hey surge pricing is in effect, it's __ much. Do you accept surge pricing?" and you have to click yes to request it.

But drunk people don't read it so this happens...

Before doing a simple "we got more votes nationally" claim, we need to also look at the number of majority minority districts (as required by federal law and the votings rights act) and count how that contributed to the disparity in votes. The Voting Rights Act fucks us by telling states that they HAVE to pack in…

It is and it isn't. My point is that it's become such a default excuse, people are now claiming it's affecting Senate races because they've been brainwashed into thinking that's the "big issue"
