Hell yeah, that’s a lesson I learned early on. I might not wanna see YOU naked, but I’m still flattered you wanna see ME naked haha.

Hmm… what’s wrong with people thinking you’re gay? Are you worried it’ll turn away potential partners? Even if that’s the case, it could also mean you’re bisexual or non-binary but completely into women.

Hell, any woman that would be interested in you anyways wouldn’t think “oh, he’s got a pride flag… better not talk to him”. If anything it’ll just solidify you as an ally to a group that you’re not a part of. It’s basically just an “I’m not an asshole” flag. I bet it would even score you some points.

Ah interesting! Yeah fair enough… either $3 or $7, it’s gonna be real tough to staff those positions.

Why not? That’s what you’re saying it costs. What’s the difference if it’s listed on the menu instead of hidden behind some obscure social contract?

I agree it would suck for the workers in the mean time, but I think the labour market would adapt pretty quickly if servers actually started making $3/hour. No one would want to be a server and restaurants would be forced to pay competitively if they expect to hire anyone.

I think stopping patronizing those restaurants altogether doesn’t send any clear message about why it’s happening. Maybe combined with some large-scale public campaign, but on its own it wouldn’t achieve too much.

They’re called chiropractors and that’s a weird thing to say about them

The mistake in all of this discussion is making those who are circumsized feel ashamed about it at all. No one should feel bad about being circumsized.

Now that that’s out of way, that’s a pretty weak counterargument. Your justification for why we should keep doing it is that society prefers it? That’s exactly the thing that’s finally being pushed back against. It’s inherently a barbaric practice that serves no medical purpose (for the large majority) and is purely aesthetic, and we’re doing it to newborn babies so they can look like their daddies and keep the social norm alive.

You don’t have anything to feel bad about and it’s great that it hasn’t been a hindrance for you, but as soon as one generation stops, your argument will be moot.

Ren as in Kylo, MC, or “& Stimpy”?

Do those have different definitions though? If I do something ‘by purpose’, I don’t think it means anything different from doing it ‘on purpose’. What other meaning could we derive from that?

I’ve always thought the same, but one day I realized the opposite of ‘by accident’ is ‘on purpose’. They’re both prepositions and nouns, so why couldn’t we say ‘on accident’ and ‘by purpose’? They’re at least grammatically correct if not socially.

You might have meant it as a joke but just in case someone else isn’t aware, this button actually made your CPU slower 🤓

Jesus christ, that happens in Europe too. Please answer my question. How is it achievable in Europe but not in North America?

But the point is the same right? Whether you call them countries or states or counties or municipalities, there are multiple levels of government with their own distinct tax structures, but Europe has no problem displaying the final sale price on their tags. Why would this be harder to implement in the US than in Europe?

I give it 3 months until it’s renamed the Gulf of Burrito

It hit all those things??

This is a great sentiment but you really have to work on your delivery haha. Your first comment gives the impression that you feel superior because you make more money.

“Just like a sunset, they get lower every time I look at them”… not to say they’re not still beautiful haha.
