Hey I'm in California too! ✋️🌞🤚 But people around here do not universally love gay people as much as the rest of America thinks - as you know, a disturbingly large percentage of us are bigots. They don't care who profits.

We'll just call more of them up at the last minute. Get here in 20 minutes or you'll be on 3rd shift.

Chick fil a is homophobic; that might be keeping demand lower than it would be otherwise.

Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsɪzəm, ˈnæt-/ NA(H)T-siz-əm; also Naziism /-si.ɪzəm/),[1] the common name in English for National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus, German: [natsi̯oˈnaːlzotsi̯aˌlɪsmʊs] ⓘ), is the far-right totalitarian socio-political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Germany.

But really...

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

A platitude. The fascists are already trying to kill us, we need to fight back. Both sides are not the same.

We just legalized jaywalking here in California and it's suuuuper convenient. They should legalize it everywhere.

Does this still count as a blacklash if they were doing it to Sri Lankans?

He looks older without the mustache, which is very unusual.

It helps a lot with your sense of touch, too. Whenever I shave anything it feels numb.

That's part of why I prefer spray-on sunscreen.

Because "works just like email" sounds like a good thing to us.
