Let’s start killing these slave owning salon owners, Django-style. Please?

Motion that no one gets their nails done unless they can verify that the technicians working at that particular salon are not working in slave or near-slave conditions. Tipping might make you feel personally better, but it doesn’t fix the industry or keep the bosses from just skimming more tips. if you’re going to pay…

You can demand political change, you can refuse to patronize salons that engage in this kind of fuckery. You say grand standing, I saw organize for change.

Or that we require the enforcement of labor laws so people are paid just wages. Tipping is a hugely problematic system that does not improve worker treatment. Every evaluation of tipping indicates it’s racist and sexist as hell for workers and encourages racist and sexist treatment of customers.

Trying to keep a few extra dollars that means the difference between whether someone’s little brother eats that day of not, and to the tourists is a pittance that could be spent on coffee and a bagel and never remembered for a second? Yeah I think that's justifiable for sure.

$100 pesos is about $7. You realize minimum wage in Mexico is $70 pesos per DAY, right? Perhaps you should just consider those little things donations to un-fucking the world you benefit from so handsomely.

Burn the churches. Fucking fascist zealots.

Traveling the surface of a cylinder is not the same as traveling the hypotenuse of a triangle. I can easily see the logic in this answer, and see that many have come to the same conclusion, but I don’t believe it’s correct. This is not a right-triangle problem; the loop around the cylinder does not travel a single…

Knew these would come in handy.

Yeah, all you have to do is imagine rolling the tube and the string coming off on a table, and you’ll have a triangle, one side would be the length of the tube, the other would be the distance it has rolled, and the hypotenuse would be the string between them.

I think this puzzle is easy for people who have learned you can convert geometric shapes to other - simpler - geometric shapes, and difficult for people who haven’t realised this.

Nah. You were too generous. She doesn’t care about all white women.

black cops can be bad, too. when minority cops kill minority citizens, they're still the tool of the majority.

Zero for the victim, all of them for the murderer.

Actually, both men served in the Coast Guard. Guess how many stories mention that the victim served compared to those mentioning the murderer served?

"if people stopped acting like it was a crime every time cops shoot someone"

Holy Fuck you're right. Maybe he was running towards a loaded cannon. Better put 8 rounds in him just be sure.

Very well-written article. Well stated, cogent, and laudable. Thank you.
