What in the fuck???

I hate to repeat myself but I’m going to go ahead and copy/paste this here:

Now wait a second:

As a Black woman, I can’t count how many prints I’ve seen fabulously worn by other curvy or yes, fat black women. Prints and bright colors? Yes, all of that. At church, at the family reunion, parties, or to work. But now, in a time where plus size fashion is at its height, this designer who is also a black woman and…

I get that it might be a shift in perspective to design for “plus-size” models. Perhaps it’s not what they’re used to doing with their eyes closed. But Project Runway is supposed to stretch designers and see what they can do outside of their comfort zone. Further, the show has been pretty intentional it seems in…

Nadine saying that she couldn’t put her “plus-size” model in a bold print made me want to die.

Part of the reason for the percentage fee is that a percentage of credit card customers are dead beat or thieves. When someone uses the card fraudulently the card issuer is usually on the hook for it.

I have left a beloved local pizza place behind because they started pulling this shit. These kinds of costs should be built into the stated price and it’s bad enough U.S. restaurants already don’t include taxes in their listed costs (unlike most of the rest of the world).

If your margins are so razor thin that you need to pass a 3% fee onto a subsection of your consumers, you probably should be focusing on improving other aspects of the business. Anyone who starts a business knows that these fees exist, so it should be built into the business plan and the price of the food and drinks ju…

It has been awhile since I last signed a credit card service agreement for a business but when I did this was an explicit violation of the contract. Anyone know if this has changed? 

Facebook is the 2nd largest advertising network in the world. It generated in excess of 1.26 billion dollars in revenue the Q3 of 2012, a quarter after it went public, and had a net profit of 311 million dollars.

It is a neurological condition, not a psychological one. Spasmodic dysphonia was not an accurate inspiration for her character at all, not to mention it isn’t explicitly acknowledged in the film and amounts to erasure. I still want her to win - as do many disabled folks - but we can also have a conversation about why…

Even if conclusive neurological evidence existed that proved once and for all that teenaged brains cannot properly process the concept of actions having conequences, we’s still be left with the burning question of why the fuck they thought it would be fun to hurt another human being that way. Empathy is something…

A bag ban would be long term detrimental to MLB.

Sugar + Dairy before Coffee. Bringing the dairy up to temperature with the addition of the coffee (rather than dumping it into the coffee at its hottest) will prevent it from scorching and it will taste better.

I’m guessing Singer and a few of the people at the colleges he paid bribes to will go to jail. I’m guessing none of the rich parents will go to jail, not even the ones who also committed tax fraud with their fake charities/donations while a part of this. They’ll pay fines which will seem like a lot to us, but not…

Hey fuckface - I’m not sure where you and your dumbass “friends” were hanging out, but the word vegetarian has meant someone who eats eats vegetables and not meat for hundreds of years.

She started incorporating eggs and fish back into her diet a few months ago for health reasons.

Fish don’t have a neocortex, trying to equate them to higher level mammals is silly.   They probably have some feedback system but it’s highly unlikely they perceive pain in the same way a higher level mammal would.

i think the broader problem is that she was literally selling her vegan diet- she apparently makes a living selling these vegan cleanses and vegan recipes/meal plans to her followers. so she’s sitting there telling everyone that they can be happy and healthier eating vegan (just 49.99 if you order now!) but on advice…
