It’s not a “generalization” to observe that the national and state “right to life” organizations that push these laws do not support contraception, let alone freely available contraception, or that these laws do not treat abortion like the murder of a born child. You are, of course, free to ignore facts that you don’t…

I have floppy discs with save files older than this child and his “trUE gAMeR” horseshit.

If you really cared about cruelty to animals and wanted to end cockfighting, you wouldn’t pass a stupid law that says I can sue you for cockfighting, you are stuck with paying a lawyer to defend yourself, and if I win I get $10K but if you lose I don’t owe you a dime. You also wouldn’t pass a stupid law saying that…

You won’t really win, because it isn’t truly about the fetus having the same rights as the mother. Very few “pro-lifers” want to put women in jail for murder (they make excuses about women being brainwashed by evil doctors and Planned Parenthood), or have free and safe contraception available to all. It’s really…

Because you’re not fooling anyone when you claim it’s about the housing crisis when what you really mean is “the crisis of me and my fellow techies not having spacious new apartments in hip neighborhoods near my office and that little cafe that has Sightglass Coffee pourover”.

I’m sure one of her soundbites was that she, personally, through her grit and genius, was restoring her family to its rightful place. But yes, she was part of that ecosystem. Her dad was a VP at Enron and, even when they went temporarily broke, the family wasn’t homeless because one of his pals lent them his SPARE…

Then what’s your problem with sprawl? That’s adding to the supply, isn’t it? Surely putting even more suburban residences in would add to the supply more than trying to cram a couple more apartments into a city that’s already full of multiunit housing?

Even assuming the Texas Bar would act against attorneys filing bogus lawsuits, it has no power to act against pro se filings. And the law explicitly says that the plaintiff is never liable for the defendant’s costs - the whole point is to make it free to intimidate people with frivolous lawsuits. So what’s the…

There’s always a chance it could collapse - but it is true that the last bubble was not driven by the international investment class looking for vehicles to store their money the way this one is.

The suburbs sprawling is what happens when you build more housing. You’re not going to alleviate the housing and price crisis by putting up more apartment buildings in already-dense cities.

Millenials already know about Selective Service. What’s the matter with you?

They don’t necessarily leave them empty; they AirBnB them.

Translation: if you didn’t look into rent compensation for landlords and mortgage relief, which is available in (for example) California, you should probably invest some time in doing that rather than complaining on Kinja.

Let’s please drop the pretense that this kind of exploitation is a “personal choice” unrelated to any decisions made by the owners of these companies.

He “got paralyzed” because his friend ran them into an accident. We can point out that he is a mediocre lying Nazi shitbag and still acknowledge that it’s not his fault he’s in a wheelchair.

She used the education trust her parents set up (you know, the trust that was paying her ticket at Stanford) as seed money for her company. And even taking a psychiatrist with an understandable axe to grind at face value, her dad still had plenty of connections to set her up with VC funding. This isn’t a scrappy…

The industry’s just too saturated because we all love our viddy games and are willing to be exploited to touch the hem of the digital garments we spend 80 hours apiece fixing the wire mesh on.

I’ve worked with a bunch of these turkeys, and “I work 80 hours” really means “I put in maybe 30-40 hours of actual work, the rest of it I spend playing phone games or shooting the shit with my bros.” 

Literally nothing in your first paragraph is true.

Lots of people who aren’t interested in having a family are nonetheless interested in doing things that aren’t their paid job. Seeing “having a family” as the only valid reason not to put in overtime is exactly the internalized corporate-tit-sucking you’re talking about.
