Agreed. I’m slightly ashamed to know all of this, but there are a bunch of errors in this article. And the bigger issue is the predatory behavior, which is not discussed at all.

No. Talking back suggests willful impertinence whereas getting your point across is about trying to come to a place of mutual understanding. In my experience, the latter is only viewed as the former by those with large and/or brittle egos.

The difference being she’s getting paid while the passengers are paying for the experience of not getting to their destination on time.

It’s not a compliment, it’s a power move. Just like cat calling and other kinds of harassment.

Reviving the Hatha-hate, huh? I’m pretty sure the worse anyone can accuse her of is liking her job, working hard at her job, and not being named Jennifer Lawrence.

Seems like you are unable to untangle Israel from Jews.

Oh fuck off, you disingenuous little shit eater.

Maybe the real spoilers are the frenemies we made along the way.

So that guy dedicated a year of his life forming a fake friendship in order to get back at the guy who . . . spoiled a movie?

Specific, concrete plans and details are for centrists!!!1! /s

And there is someone who didn’t go to college at all b/c couldn’t get funding or was scared of even the $20k debt that you have or college wasn’t a luxury b/c they had to work to support their siblings.

Calling degrees “worthless” just because they don’t necessarily translate to a high-income position post-college is so, so idiotic. 

“i have a worthless liberal arts degree and this minimum wage barista job means i can’t afford to pay it back” feels like someone who never took their obligation seriously to begin with - they did not plan for how to pay it back.

What a shitty take. 

As a well bearded, ostensibly heterosexual man, I feel the urge sometimes to rub beards with other men when I’m drunk. We’re talking chin-to-chin, like we’re gnomes or something.

Let me be the very first to say: still would.

Yeah, pushback against practices with historical and sustained racist connotations is just “fragile feelings”

Because of history, those things are not equivalent. Blackface was once used in a way that dehumanized the people it was portraying: it is a part of a racist legacy. Even if the person doing it now has zero intention of doing anything racist, the act itself has a long history of racism attached to it, and it’s not…

No. White washing is when studios cast white people. It has nothing to do with cosplay or halloween costumes. It is a winnable situation if you think first.

Hey: nah. Blackface is bad. Darkening your skin tone to alter your perceived race, even for cosplay, is bad.
