For me it comes down to one point: Did the author specifically ask whether she could bring the baby? If she did, then sentencing her to a breastfeeding room without warning is a jerk move on the part of the organizer, no question.

I agree, but it’s the not-so-self-aware moms that ruin it for everyone.

This kind of stunt very often goes along with prosperity gospel theology, which is pretty destructive stuff. Maybe that’s not their theology but if it is we really don’t want to celebrate them.

Sorry, but you’re totally correct. And now they’re getting publicity that goes far beyond $1,000 worth and will probably get a bunch of elderly people to send them their social security checks because of this stunt.

“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”

Well, he’s just saying out loud what so many men won’t admit out loud.

Okay so like, I have never seen a person on one of these but you brought up my new HATTTTTE which is people wearing headphones with music playing while shopping and singing OUTLOUD. Who does that! Why! Or worse the people who play music on their phone speaker while walking around the store! AND SINGING ALONG. What the…

for the last time,

That doesn’t actually work. I use that line all the time but men get very butthurt that I don’t want to enjoy their sparkling wit. I have looked men in the eyes and said “GO AWAY. I DON’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU” and they still stand there talking.

Maybe men should get better at that.

Speaking as someone who lives but a couple hundred miles from Saudi Arabia, and knows many Filipinos, Indonesians, malaysians, etc. Who live and work in Dubai.... never, ever, ever set foot for any reason in Saudi Arabia. You enter, you are a slave. Period. Your life is not yours. Do not go. No matter how bad it is at…

Sadly there’s no hope on you becoming a decent person.

Your friend is wrong. Humans are slower than almost every other animal in sprints, and are thus literally built to be endurance runners.

Lol, bro-science is my favorite kind of science.

Even if the act was consensual, there’s a strong likelihood that the woman and her friend did not know they were being filmed and did not consent to the video being widely distributed. That in and of itself is a violation.

Re: “I think we’re getting to the point where people just find facts and reality itself offensive.”

This is how you do science. You experiment with changing one variable at a time so you know what impact the changes have. Sometimes a combination of changes will have a greater impact than either individual change, but you still need to test out each individual change by itself, just to be sure.

If you are the rich one, pick up the freaking tab more often. I do this on a regular basis because I was in the poor house before and if I want to do something that friends don’t have the cash for I don’t act like the selfish cheapskate and chip in more than my fair share because I can easily do it. Buying lunch for…

Thank you. I pretty much stopped hanging out with a lot of my nerd friends because of shit like this. They don’t just want a girlfriend. They want the perfect girlfriend. The one who will play video games with them, do what they like to do. They never, I’ve never heard any of those guys be like, “I want a girl that…

BARF OUT LOUD
