Literally all she had to do was contact Native Americans and ask them. Heck, even collaborate with an NA fantasy writer!

• How much higher are incidents of violence (sexual or otherwise) among Uber drivers than among taxi drivers (per 100,000 drivers)?

Alllllll teh tech bros in Austin are losing their shit bc the city wants to require that drivers undergo fingerprinting and background checks. Somehow protecting people from unknowingly getting in a car with a criminal is “anti-innovation.”

But in places where we have a crap transportation system and an even worse taxi service, Uber has been great. It has been highly successful in Birmingham so far.

let’s call this whole Uber thing off.

If I own a floral shop I should be able to refuse service for whatever reason I want. I wholeheartedly think it is stupid to deny gay weddings your service...but I agree that is your right and that right should be protected by the government.

Okay, again, you’re talking about the filibuster against the bill, as opposed to the bill itself, which you would seem to be in favor of.

This bill doesn't say anyone has to perform the service of marrying them!! Good god you MUST be a troll, because this is just insane. They have a constitutional right to be married. So the county clerks, who have to follow the law, have to issue the licenses. Outside of that, there doesn't have to be a ceremony at…

Okay, good, your answer is “Fuck ‘em.” That’s all I wanted to know.

discrimination harms people. stop being a troll man.

Thats the problem right there. These people arent demanding something these people dont offer. they are asking to buy something that everyone else can buy. Can a bakery sell vanilla to white people only?

How do you define being harmed? I would say the couples who get told no because of who they are seems pretty harmful

Are you under the impression that I somehow wasn’t aware I was proposing discrimination? I find the idea that the government can force private business to provide goods/service to someone outrageous...and I don’t care if that is a deeply held religious belief or not.

I hate cats when they are all moist and rubbery like that. This is a terrible cat.

Hey, that’s a crapton of money to spend if you’re not getting EXACTLY what you want, assuming it’s within your price range. You have to really “feel it” with a house.

This is a delightful little piece; I wish I could pee in a sink. Also, I’m much pleased by the autocorrected “el doable”.

I’d just like to inform everyone that I am still drinking vodka and it is 2:08 am here in Dubai and I’m probably going to order some pizza. While I’m in a drunken state of confession, let it be noted for the record that I sometimes just go pee right in the sink. The logic of it is infallible. My favorite book?…

From the Valdosta Daily article (via the Colorlines link), as to why the removal was not racially motivated:

Wages rose slightly in the mid-2000s, but have dipped again: the median overall hourly wage for a 30-year-old in 1984 was $18.99, in 2004 was $20.63 and in 2014 was $19.32.

“What if I got my puppy from a breeder in Canada?” A small child asked in the crowd.
