God, there is a woman who recently joined my (predominately white conservative male) company. It was physically painful to watch SO MANY of the men at our meeting talk over her... constantly. She’s be half-way through a meaningful and relevant point, only to be cut off by some jackass who is either A)repeating what

Yeah, but can you imagine how crazy that stream is going to be?

(The stream was canceled.)

...

Cool story, bruder.

So you may get your yes but the minor can later rescind it, and congratulations, you committed statutory rape.

That matters, why, exactly?

Chuck and Nancy canceled the meeting pointing out the tweet and saying President is not negotiating on good faith. Then said maybe congressional Republicans would be more interested in bipartisanship. This was inevitable and continues to take away any capital Trump appears to have. They are much better at this game

And he can wake up and blame the Democrats for not working with the GOP, thus giving his cult more reasons to hate the “lib’ruls.” People will forget this Tweet so the budget failing won’t be because it’s shitty, it’ll be because the Dems didn’t want to work with them. It’s a pretty obvious and simplistic strategy.

I think he got what he wanted, because “Chuck and Nancy” just canceled the meeting on account of this tweet. Now Donald can have his nap and not have to listen to big words about things he neither understands nor cares about.

Even the people who like Trump the most would probably (and gladly) admit he’s an asshole. Half the reason they voted for him is that he’s an asshole. The other half is that he’s racist.

Ah yes, the good ol’, “if we didn’t provide an exploitative (and boring) coffee shop, there’d be nothing but violence and poor people!” defense.

Saw the title and was about to say “Who doesn’t think that 45 is an asshole at this point?”

Your racism is showing, NyK Blue Paint! I like when my racists are out and proud (although over the years, I have become quite stealthy at identifying your closeted brethren and sistren, especially the self-loathing racist Negro).

Gentrification is “we can’t beat them, literally, anymore, but we can out finance them away”

Or maybe have a coffee shop that doesn’t start a ripple effect of pushing people out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

General social enrichment so all areas increase in wealth an services thus negating the impetus to move in or out. Now that does need an increase in taxes and a dedicated national employment strategy in which the right lesson from the prisoner’s dilemma is applied instead of the usual one.

Gentrification is one of those things that sounds good in theory, enriching an areas inhabitants, and improving their services; but in practice it never means enriching the people that are already there but instead forcing them out in favor of rich incomers, and while services might be improved it is nearly always at

That’s not a “disturbingly real” version of the song, it’s a rather outlandish satire based on how 40s language sounds to modern ears. It’s funny because it’s over-the-top. Frank Loesser wasn’t writing about duct-taping and raping his wife, of course, but the idiom is a little archaic, and lends itself to exaggeration

How is “a woman afraid of what society thinks eventually overcomes that fear and does what she wants” not an improvement over “a man roofies and rapes a woman who just wants to get home to her family”?
