Yes. And it's still vital people like him speak up. The narrative that those who can see reality must actually be antisemities is working on a lot of people.

I worked retail for decades and I'm genuinely offended you'd side with a customer. those shits don't get enough guff for their garbage ass behavior. you wanna come in a scream at me because your mad about "duh gubbermen"? well I'm gonna detect your dumb ass talking points and fuck with you for the duration of our interaction. I'll tell you the toy car has pink hair and rainbow flames on the side and the license plate says "Bi or Die" and the "Barbie" toy is a MtF school teacher named "Claxison" that lives on government assistance. Come in here again and tell me you think "happy holiday's" is an attack on Christmas, I dare you!

Do you get headshot'd while walking in the cloud district every playthrough? Oh, what am I saying, of course you do.

yeah I work with a guy that is still pretty frosty he got mandatory training and a serious suspension period at work because he couldn't scream anti LBGTQ slurs at co-workers, we work with children... so... kinda glad he's been told the leave his personality at the door.

it depends a lot on the business model. but like a lot of qualified people have been pointing out, places like Wal-Mart can weather the losses considering a store will make up to a 1-3million a day, and they pay the 40 people who work there so little they quality for SNAP there's a lot of cushion to absorb the costs. but no business with less than 15 employees is going to make it.

I usually agree but when if mandatory house arrest or jail for domestic abusers happened almost all murders wouldn't be possible.

sadly a lot of them are just very wealthy tourists and pay a lot of money to be babied up a very difficult mountain with a very small peak, and some just REFUSE to understand that "death zone" isn't a tongue-in-cheek, cutesy kind of name, it lacks the oxygen you need to be alive. Still, someone's bored generational wealth having kid is gonna walk up there without a tank and see what happens.

I work with special needs kids. They aren't unable to contribute, only no one has accommodated the ways they are able too.

never read the book

ARRRGGGGG!!!!!

OK, yes in the films the Orcs make little to no sense and are nothing outside of comic relief cannon fodder, but in the books they aren't like that at all. In the books almost everything "evil" is an artificial or evil magic version of something else as a way to counter it, like the Nazgul were an attempt to fight against Eagles. Orc were actually the first elves to come into existence, and the evil bad guy who was Sauron's boss corrupted and tortured them until they were orcs. They are meant to be a counter to elves, but making people out of evil motives and discordant thinking isn't that great an idea, so they aren't very good at this. but they do have their own language and family units, not weird birthing pits, and make their own choices, there's a few longer parts in the books where you're just following the orcs along. after the war the orc's are pretty pissed they got roped into the whole evil army thing, and vow to never follow "big bosses" again. Also Aragorn gives them their own lands. The humans and other beings that fought for Sauron were all roped into it with his lies and cunning, and were pretty upset when they found out all the horrible shit Sauron was up to, in the books no one's really THAT evil, and the orc's and goblins can be pretty goofy, but also very normal humanoid type of things.

the Dwarfs in the original fairy tale lore of western Europe were just regular elves who liked mountains and mining.

yeah, anti public transit has several motivations, the most American is racism. if we have robust public transit, they can't be "whites only" and you can't force the not-whites to sit in the back. so right there. Then you have white land owning hegemony. Why do the busses only go downtown and not to the shopping center half way to the suburbs? because they don't want the filthy poors mucking up their white fort, if you let busses go up to the suburbs then THEY can get there and do all the things they get blamed for!! Lastly, profit motive. mass transit means people can choose to have a car or not. the powers that be are making a lot of money off cars and mass transit will upset the apple cart.

Who, me? look, all I'm saying is that the public at large can't grasp that not everyone who walked past Epstein on the street is a full blow child sex trafficker. They will assume every single person he knew is full guilty when that's just not how criminal conspiracy works, I wouldn't be shocked to find only Him, Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and Trump were raping children.
