I don’t buy this at all. The door-in-the-face strategy doesn’t really work if it leaves the customer feeling like they’d rather get rid of the door and start over with a new door technology.

You can squeeze your customers in a way that doesn’t make you look insane and Unity chose to not do that.

I’d like to respond, but I’m going to need you to read 5,000 words on my personal philosophy towards online commenting before I do.

Adding on to this.

Oppression of the Poor and Injustice to the Wage Earner are two of the four Sins that Cry to Heaven for Vengeance.

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Jimmy’s 5th chapter.

Everything I’ve read has suggested Drew Barrymore was going unscripted until the WGA strike was over (i.e. they were fully working within the terms of the strike).

Do you have a source to suggest otherwise?

Not celebrities - historical figures.

How many can you name that have been dead for at least 50 years?

Sexuality

When people talk about “LGBT Pride”, they’re not talking about the “a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements” definition, they’re talking about the “confidence and self-respect as expressed by members of a group, typically one that has been socially marginalized” definition.

It’s almost like words can have more than one meaning.

That’s a lot of words to avoid saying you’re talking out your ass.

“Yeah, I could totally tell you. Honest. Promise. No I can’t because… uh… I’d have to kill you.”

Do you deny climate change on the same basis?

The process of loving an institution or a country or an idea is fundamentally different from the process of loving a person.

To love a person is to accept them on every level of their being.

To love an institution is to be its harshest critic, in the hopes that we can better direct the strokes from our hammer and our chisel to reveal the sculpture within. Nobody has ever created anything beautiful by loudly claiming their block of marble is better than the rest.

Yeah, this.

OP has misunderstood the joke being made (“haha this is an unfortunate picture”) and is using it to be cruel to a stranger (“bUt ShE PrObAbLy WoN’t mAkE bEtTeR cHoIcEs”) .

Go fuck yourself, OP. You’re the one that needs to make better choices.
