  • I think it’s more to do with that if the collective workers vote to become a union or not, and succeeds in that vote, then the owner/company must recognize them as the union and engage in negotiations as such.

    If the vote of the workers fails to choose to unionize…well usually that means the people who tried to organize it get fired because there’s no union

    I agree in that it doesn’t need to be required, but I think you’re leaving money on the table and intentionally limiting who can experience the art you’re trying to share with the world.

    You don’t HAVE to include more than the basic colorblind option and maybe some extra visual cues, but games that go farther and allow more people to enjoy their product are better products for it.

    Souls games are great. I don’t want to ‘get gud’ so I haven’t bought one ever, and with no difficulty drop I probably never will. I don’t have time for that. It’s not a bad game because they don’t have features to make it more accessible to me, but it COULD be a better game if they did.





  • Thats the thing, comedy hasn’t stopped. Regular people aren’t offended if you make a funny joke about a sensitive topic.

    Rob McElhenney from It’s always sunny was just talking about this the other day. They make racist jokes, gay jokes, jokes about abortion, mocking the homeless. There’s a WHOLE episode done a la The Whiz where the gang wakes up in black people’s bodies. You just have to be sure that the joke is told in a way that doesn’t lift it’s message above being just a joke, and that means the person telling it has to be relatively clear on the side of the joke’s subject. You can’t punch down, that’s never been funny.

    South Park and it’s always sunny and family guy and those kinds of shows haven’t neutered their jokes, so why do people keep saying that you can’t make fun of anything anymore? The only people I see that say that are parroting comedians like Seinfeld and Chapelle and THEY’RE STILL SELLING TICKETS, so they’re not ‘canceled’ and their livelihoods aren’t affected, so why are they saying they can’t make the jokes they continue to sell tickets for?




    1. Supreme Court of The United States appointment. Presidents appoint a candidate they like, congress greenlights their ascent to the position.

    2. Oh highly questionable, it’s caused a lot of people to rethink the safety of lifetime appointments. But there are avenues to try, someone doesn’t have to retire or die, the number of SCOTUS judges can be raised and then you can appoint new judges, but then so can the next party and so on so forth, or at least they tell us that the threat of ‘the other side’ packing the courts is too much of a danger for their own party to pack the courts

    3. It is done on both sides, except both sides haven’t had an equal chance to make appointments due to life span of existing judges and the then Senate Majority Leader (senator who is appointed the head of that ruling body when their party takes a majority in that body) in 2008 blocked all Supreme Court appointments that came up for all 8 years of the Obama administration. That was Mitch McConnell, and he, and his party, blocked appointment of new judges by just never allowing the motion to be voted on, as the Republicans held the senate 2 years into Obama presidency (when some seats opened) and as such their majority leader gets to decide the docket of what will be voted on in the senate and he chose to never once allowed SCOTUS appointee motions to reach the floor.





  • My wife and I use the pinky promise as a sacred oath and sometimes an investigative tool.

    If we’re not okay, or we’re worried the other is putting on a face to get through a moment without being honest, the pinky is used as a “I won’t ask again, just promise me you’re alright, or will be alright, and we’re good” and that kicks off a conversation or she confirms that she’s fine and the tone is residual from another frustration.

    Pinky is sacred, if my wife lied on a pinky promise, it would breach our deepest marital trust.



  • My wife’s best friend has been banned a couple times and is waiting to appeal her tinder ban again.

    Although often justifiable based on the ways these guys have acted/spoke to her, it’s usually because she’s super ruthless in her response. A guy got mad she wasn’t interested in just being a booth call after she said she’s there for dates too, said she was after a free meal (paying hadn’t come up yet, and she always pays for herself unless a guy insists) and so she tore into him. And she’s brutal. Another had ghosted her after rescheduling on the date twice and saying stuff came up and that he’s busy (days after the fact, no check in or nothing) and so she told him that’s some horse shit and that he’s a little bitch that needs to get his life in order if he’s gonna stand somebody up twice after begging for a second chance.

    She definitely could be nicer sometimes, but from what I’ve read from her it’s no different than how I see a lot of dudes talk on there, I think those guys just got their feelings hurt more than standard tinder girls do.
