Officer threatened to slam my dad on the ground in front of us all for telling him politely to have a nice day.

Officer screamed at us in high school when we called for help because someone was beating up our friend then did nothing.

I just think it’s stupid to identify with a for profit institution.

I sort of feel that this has to be a concept born from eugenics to talk about how some lines are superior to others.

I wish I could have seen this comment, too bad.

That’s correct, which is where my comments comes from. They aren’t curious about the definition of a hate crime, they are trying to insert doubt while feigning ignorance.

There are people asking questions and there are people “asking questions” in an attempt to derail debate.

LOL you’re delving into the typical sorts of pedantics that people turn to when they don’t have an argument. “OOH OOH but Merriam Webster says that ‘teenager’ means blah blah blah” while completely sidestepping the fact that this person is a legal adult and is fully responsible for their actions, which is what the adults in the room are talking about now.

This checks as being just the sort of 18 year old who would support Trump. They probably have a long list of right-wing podcasts on repeat.

I think with LV, specifically, it’s things like wallets that just last forever. The rest of it, meh.

Yep. Real high end clothing just looks like clothing. You have no idea that the person you are talking to has an $800 sweater on.

Yep. Some years ago, I made the decision to never wear logos or anything with a brand name on it. It’s a silly thing to do and there are plenty of clothes out there that are just clothes.

It’s more like narcissism, psychopathy, etc. The constant need to be better than others and worshipped for it.

I mean the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a real church, so is the Church of the Dude. They are official and legally recognized religions. More than anything, you need a documented set of beliefs that you espouse and to register your organization.

I do see where you are coming from, but the overriding principle for me is that everyone has a right to freely express their identity in public and should not receive discrimination for it under any circumstances, even if they have a questionable choice in employers.

Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don’t think this is really a thing.

I’ve always been surprised by people who panic and scream or run around. I don’t get it.

Time to get your masters.

Seriously. How do people not just stop, look around, and make a decision?

I promise. I’ll never die.

Noticeable that you seemed to have taken that comment personally, which is odd–not the intention. In any case, it sounds like a repeat of AITH on Reddit where people would post a lot of fiction and pass it off as real.
