Lol Kendall had to move more quickly than she wanted to for 1 second, THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

I can’t wait to watch this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah I see. I’m not sure about that particular example. There may be some exception I’m not aware of. Generally though if you market your goods or services to the public at large, you have to comply with public accommodation laws, which in some cases could absolutely conflict with first amendment rights. In that way,…

Lmao yesssssss

Can you give me an example? I’m talking about businesses that specifically offer their services to the public at large. I’m not talking about people who aren’t doing so. I think we are saying the same thing. That’s why I said “public business” - meaning those that would fall under the umbrella of public accommodation…

Perhaps that was an inartful term but how else would you define them? If you are offering goods and services to the public, you owe certain legal duties to the public. Exceptions are already made in certain laws for truly “mom and pop” shops, though I think even those exceptions are bullshit. Nobody is forcing anyone…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who got that feeling from the piece. There were parts of it that were genuinely interesting and good but on the whole....I dunno. I did love when she dropped the old southern “Bless his heart.” No better insult that doesn’t sound like an insult!

This whole thing read as condescending to me. Most of it is about her ex-husband’s exploits, their relationship, or his ugly ass tattoo. Then there are a few paragraphs that seem like asides about the fact that she’s also successful, ambitious and good at her job. It feels like they are tempering her hard work and…

I’m bracing myself for angry comments haha. My experience is that it’s wrong for atheists to believe as fervently in secularism as religious folks do in their religiosity.

I totally agree. I don’t really think of adding additional meals onto a plane as an accommodation in the general sense though, so much as a voluntary service the airline is choosing to provide for some of its customers. Not offering kosher meals would not be a violation of anti-discrimination laws, so that’s a…

Of course. But this doesn’t really seem like an unsettled issue to me, though perhaps it is in Israel. In the US at least, airlines are common carriers and are already prohibited from discriminating against people because of their gender. She clearly was singled out specifically and explicitly because of her gender,…

I work in this area of law. You are incorrect. That is indeed how the law works. We are not talking about him being kicked off the flight or not allowed to use a service offered by a public company. We are talking about accommodating for religious beliefs in a way that does not infringe on other people’s rights not to…

I admit I might be biased because I identify as an atheist, but I have trouble accepting the idea that religion is so important that it needs to be accommodated as much as possible. I understand not discriminating against people for their religion, and providing reasonable religious accommodations at a person’s place…

The problem is that sometimes accommodating sincerely held religious beliefs infringes on other people’s rights. As the old adage goes, your rights end where mine begin. It’s completely unreasonable, in this day and age where we are so connected globally, to expect that everywhere you go is going to cater to your…

Her song “Hurt Me” just cuts me to my core.

I can’t lie, the Liberal Arts major in me is digging the professor vibe. 8/10, would bang on a pile of books in the library.

I have one of their songs on every single mix CD I made in high school.

Being nice is hard when your default programming is sarcasm haha, which mine is. I have to work on it constantly.

I remember when he started saying all that stuff though, people were pretty ruthless - I def saw a lot more from people than just commentary on his music at that point. At the very least it was a huge spectacle at a time when he was having a very obvious mental breakdown. Making fun of his music is fair game though,…

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaartttttttttt
