It kind of is a huge deal, to be honest. I’ve worked at Microsoft. Guys like Gates, Nadella and even Ballmer are revered as if they are demi-gods. Even the mildest criticism of these guys will earn you at best, tuts and side-eye or a chat with your manager about your attitude. There is no good way for a boss to ask an…

As a fellow lifetime Harry Potter fan what I always wanted growing up was to know what the wizarding community/history was like in the United States.

Counterpoint: She-Ra was originally a lame He-Man clone that catered to girls. The recent reboot is a phenomenally well-done reimagining with a compelling story and even more compelling characters and relationships that actually evolve over the course of five seasons.

Thank you. I don’t think the LW was thinking she was going to be Thurgood Marshall or anything, but more of a duty of care to fellow human beings.

You’ll be ignored, but I would still advise writing it all down in a letter, getting a lawyer to proof your letter to avoid legal comeback, and sending it to the schoolboard through that layer’s legal service. It won’t get them fired, but it will make it easier for them to be dismissed or prosecuted if they do it…

Yeah you report it. If the school’s had a history of these complaints current students it’s the sort of thing that could jostle the apple cart enough to tip the whole thing over.

The best Ava moment:

I think Ava Sharpe is probably one of the most relatable characters in Legends. Sure, she might be a secret agent clone from the future, but she’s also someone who said this:

It’s kind of weird how this article is about how poor people are being priced out of an essential need like clothing and all the comments are people who don’t care because it’s a fun hobby and they don’t think said poor people deserve nice things. I have no doubt the same folks type their fingers raw about how…

It’s more like the take a penny tray- it's there for anyone who needs it, but you aren't supposed to use it to supplement your payment. But sure, go to the extreme to make yourself feel better for abusing the system. 

I’m questioning your reading comprehension at this point, as you’re continually pulling arguments that have no basis in any point that anyone is making.

1) Given the issues being presented in the article, no there isn’t “plenty of stuff left over”. That is, quite literally, what the article is about.

This is a real pain point in my household. My partner is going back to teaching and took a substantial pay cut to do so. Using the local thrift stores to rebuild her wardrobe, since her tech job didn’t require anything but jeans and tees, is a challenge in our city. Resellers haunt the local Goodwills and snatch up…

No one has made an argument against shopping at thrift stores for personal use, and so your comment still doesn’t make sense. The only issue being discussed is reselling for a profit, and so if you aren’t doing that then I’m not sure what issue you have with my statement.

I NEVER donate to Salvation Army. I don’t shop their either, which isn’t a difficult choice because our local one is dirty and has crap stuff.

Yes to the last part. Re-sellers usually stake out shops to grab the nicer stuff, like name brands or the item is in better condition, and then sell it for 10x is worth. The people who deserve nice things but can’t afford them, or who maybe would like to dress their kids in something not off-brand AND a resell item,…

At least in the Denver area, all the good (name brands with low wear) stuff is snatched up by resellers very quickly. It’s rare to find anything good, mostly just rack after rack of crap nobody wants.

Nah, we know her answer, the audience knows her answer, and Drew is not qualified to properly refute whatever bullshit she would have spewed. The woman feels no shame and it would have just provided a platform for whatever conspiracy theory about COVID vaccines she decided to latch on to (if I had to guess, either the…

I’m at a full month. Like I want the drug company to reimburse me for how many tampons I had to buy. I’m getting my second shot tomorrow and I’m afraid my period is just going to like restart. 

So....you point out that they appeared out of the woodwork, with a weirdly polished image and social media presence, making carefully focus-grouped “edgy” music that is neither novel nor particularly edgy....
