I feel like that when sales people compliment my clothes or "style". I'm fully aware of what I look like and complimenting my cheapass plastic shoes is not gonna make me buy anything.

From what I gather, the higher ups were trying to deal with it, but had issues understanding the extent of his illness, they were already slowly moving all his responsibilities to other parties and preparing for his likely exit. Animation industry is still largely guild based, so it's much, much more difficult to fire…

I'm really glad that as a whole, the animation community seems pretty unanimous in supporting Emily, though I was really concerned that there were a lot of people, fans mostly that immediately accused her of false allegations. Even after friends of Page and industry professionals made it pretty clear that A.) the…

He already had that reputation, it's kind of facetious to say that just because this case hasn't gone to trial he's innocent. One doesn't gain that reputation for innocence, especially multiple times.

The private room for mastectomies is inherently different type of comfort, women who have had surgery may feel they need more privacy are of course, should be provided that comfort, but for a trans woman, inclusivity is often the goal, not being herded to private areas as if they don't 'belong.'

How about you go to the private room. Problem solved.

Maybe the trans woman is modest as well, and not at all interested in what you have to say about your intimate parts.

The pessimist inside of me thinks that it's also cause a lot of customers of this 'fine' establishment are just as narrow-minded, and would have bitched up a storm on a trans women trying on lingerie or panties in the same store.

I read he said it's a metaphor for Saatchi's "strangling" of the art market. No doubt it's a poor representation of his metaphor.

The Saatchi Art network is gigantic, curated by a large team of independent art dealers and a whole lot of amateur artists, it's highly unlikely Saatchi is aware of singular pieces in his website so him taking personal satisfaction is a bit of a stretch.

To make chopping fun for me I bought one of those japanese cooking knives, the serious shit with the damask steel. Feel like a ninja every time I cook.

I call bull, the idea of Ann Coulter purposefully withholding offensive speech is like saying the world is flat.

She probably did consent, by signing the release forms, but she probably misunderstood. It was made pretty clear to me when I had ovarian cysts that the possibility of having to remove the entire ovary was there, and it did not pinpoint just "cancer" but to remove the ovary in case the cyst could not be removed…

I'm trying to think why the wording is "prescribed," this would insinuate that what the doctor intended was not one of the over the counter, grocery store formulas, it was something that needed a doctor's prescription. And it was described as medicinal rather than just supplemental formula.

We're not letting them off the hook per se, but they're getting away with it precisely because of their wealth, money = power in the US, this has been proven time and time again.

I don't have as much faith in people I'm afraid, I definitely DO agree with your points, and how that is a large contributing factor, but I still believe many people who fall extremely comfortably in the middle class, who could in theory afford to be ethical, still would not be willing to sacrifice the comfort.

Yes, one of the news articles had a picture of the note in its entirety, in chinese.

Buy American and adjust fashion to prices of non-disposable fashion. Spend more on less, that lasts longer. But our economy with it's H&M and it's Forever21, will likely not have a massive overhaul.

I put 'cursive' in quotation marks because it's not proper cursive, it's not like they are taught a certain way but there are styles of writing that would be a colloquial to our cursive system. Basically, when you write chinese for a long time, you start taking short cut with strokes because of familiarity, and this…

The handwriting itself is a bit childish, they don't utilize 'cursive' like most adults do and there are some stroke irregularities in there that are a little suspect.
