It’s ridiculous and infuriating. Look, it’s a paleontologist and a “The Flintstones was a documentary” guy arguing over the fossil record and evolution! Fairness! Balance!

The answer to your questions are:

the First Amendment does not apply here. This is a private film festival. The first amendment is designed to prevent the government from punishing or preventing speech and expression. An organizer deciding to pull a film from a festival has zero first amendment implications.

The reason for the form is that employers who don’t provide this coverage are subject to penalties. The form is a way of telling the government not to impose penalties, as due to their religious beliefs they are exempt from the requirement. Beyond that, the employer is not involved.

There’s a lot of hate because we’re tired of religious assholes sticking their noses into the medical choices of other people. They’ll stop getting hate when they start minding their own fucking business.

I love that, for these people, filling out a two page form is an "undue burden" but 48 hour waiting periods and making women drive 400 miles to the nearest Women's Health clinic isn't.

The candy people! What is wrong with them? If you don’t want to spend the price of a couple of bags of candy to give poor kids (and yourself) a fun experience, just turn off the damn porch light.

I just can’t. I was born in San Francisco; my parents live there, today.

Not just gentrification, but the isolationism that comes along with it. You want the panaderías and Día skulls, but not the neighbors who come along with them. smdh.

DONT DRAG CHRIS EVANS INTO THIS

Chris Evans at least gave a decent apology for the stupid shit he says. The three Chris’ are good in my book.

So did guys in superhero movies saying stupid things start recently or has it always been like this? It seems to be a trend between this guy, Jeremy Remmer, Robert Downey Jr. I think Chris Evans got in hot water for saying some stupid shit. Has it always been like this and we just now notice because of the billion…

I want to say that romance media (books/tv/movies) have really helped people not understand what they are doing is wrong. In the movies, the girl/guy runs up to her/his love target and in front of everyone at the wedding, she/he professes their love. And low and behold! They get the Guy/girl and happily ever after…

This right here.

We do a poor job of teaching people both “abnormal psychology” (to recognize disordered personality traits in ourselves and others) and proper interpersonal relationship boundaries. You’re right, she’s not being a good friend, and you would be right to distance yourself from someone who does not respect your…

That’s something I was wondering too. What was the scenario where he had to reject her attempt to kiss him?

This is true. He needs to sit down with his fiance *now* and be honest about what’s going on.
