Small Frozen Thing posted:Why don't the animal rights groups go after factory farms? Those are way more horrifying, and their very existence is harmful for public health, even disregarding the suffering of the animals in them. Because Amuricans love meat but are unsure to full on against animal testing (because, again, television and movies have depicted a pretty inaccurate picture of animal research). Just ask a few random people about the topic; you'd be surprised how many are in the very least undecided about animal testing. People would be less sympathetic to animal rights groups coming in and destroying property of farmers. It's also harder to steal livestock.

Animal rights activists do sometimes go after farms, most notably mink farms. As you might imagine, releasing thousands of fuzzy little predators into an ecosystem tends to cause quite a lot of problems for the local wildlife.

hallo spacedog posted:This kind of poo poo is normal for retail/customer facing jobs, sadly. I got snapped at by a guy long ago when I worked at Starbucks because I wasn't wearing my ring during my shift and therefore when he asked me out and I turned him down, it was my fault for leading him on (his words). I'm not trying to be contentious, but I have worked many a service job and, while I am not an attractive woman myself, I've worked with many and witnessed many instances of sleazy poo poo. But nothing like that. drat.

into the void posted:People would be less sympathetic to animal rights groups coming in and destroying property of farmers. Haha, factory farms have as much to do with farmers as third world sweatshops do with small businessmen. They're terrifying industrial hellscapes with effectively no regulatory oversight that ravage the land surrounding them and render them unfit for human habitation, and spread prion diseases. It's so depressing that people don't know more about that poo poo.

People would be less sympathetic to animal rights groups coming in and destroying property of farmers. It's also harder to steal livestock. I am very against factory farming.  I never buy cage eggs because even the thought of it horrifies me, but I do know a lot of people who just don't care. Occasionally we have ads by animal rights groups about chicken and pig farming but I don't watch TV so I don't know if they still have them. We recently had something going on about people protesting recreational drugs being tested on animals. I don't know the whole story but I think it seems like a stupid thing to test on animals since there's a huge difference between legal highs and potentially life-saving drugs.

I remember one who just wandered around the store, kind of looked the female employees over as he found them and made really lewd/creepy comments about their bodies and looks in general. The managers on shift were pretty much useless and thought poo poo like that was funny, so he was just left free to wander until I guess he got bored (or was shocked he didn't get numbers) and left. And as a cashier you were basically a captive audience for the weirdos who decided to buy something.

And as a cashier you were basically a captive audience for the weirdos who decided to buy something. It's not just retail, either. In college I worked for one of those "Merry Maids"-type housecleaning services. It doesn't pay as much as say, construction, so almost all of the cleaners were women. We had one client who lived in a very expensive house up in the mountains who had a twice-weekly cleaning contract with us. Most people weren't at home when we arrived to clean, but this guy made a point of always being there. He would sit in the living room and drink coffee and read the paper until he saw one of us (it was usually a two-person job, his house was big) go into the master suite to clean the bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Then he would follow you in and watch while you cleaned his bathroom. Just stand there a few feet away, breathing heavily and sweating slightly, eyes glassy, while he stared intently at you scrubbing the toilet on your knees. And while the rest of the house was always beautiful and immaculate and barely needed cleaning at all, the toilet in his bedroom was stained with rivulets of piss all over the outside, crusted with dried piss under the seat, caked dried piss all over the base, the carpet around it was soaked with piss...  Finally all of the female cleaners absolutely refused to do that house, no matter how the maid-service owner cajoled or threatened. Our lone male cleaner, Ron, who was a standup guy, put an end to it by going as half the team and cleaning the toilet himself. One of the sweetest moments of my life was watching that creep come to the door of the bathroom only to see me washing the walls of the shower while Ron scrubbed his filthy loving toilet, his face fell like a little kid who just found out Christmas was canceled. When we all went out after work that night I bought every one of Ron's drinks. bonestructure has a new favorite as of 02:11 on Oct 30, 2013 |

Holy sh*t this was empty posted on my Facebook so I can only assume the poor girl thought it was a great piece of writing. http://elitedaily.com/dating/sex/why-chivalry-is-dead-from-a-mans-perspective/ First, for no reason it has a picture of Zooey Deschanel doing eyeliner? Maybe that was the trap to get young women interested. Anyways, some choice quotes Modern Day Italian Stallion posted:In the hookup culture we now live in, it’s pretty obvious that chivalry is completely dead. Maybe my parents were old fashioned, maybe growing up in a tight knit Italian family resulted in different values, but I was always preached the value of chivalry and etiquette from the women in my life. dipshit posted:For me, it’s not about the money, and I get why people are stingy when it comes to going out with people they don’t know. Look, I get it. Sh*t costs money. But really, what’s the difference? Treat yourself to a good meal, and if the company is good, why the hell wouldn’t you take a girl out to a nice dinner? ughhhhh posted:The real problem here is that women, for one reason or another, have become complacent...We no longer have to put in the effort of flowers, chocolates, dates, etc., and if we do, we come off as stage-five clingers. I’m not looking for a girlfriend, nor am I looking for a wife. If I take you out to a nice dinner, it’s because I’m a nice guy, and I am looking forward to spending time with you somewhere other than the bedroom. And finally, his credentials (Disclaimer I haven't been to his website) quote:Growing up in New Jersey in an Italian household taught John a lot about women. Mostly the stubbornness about them. The proud author of https://www.datingsagame.com loves discussing relationships and why women and men act the way they do. I was just talking to my girlfriend about how it is crazy to me that someone posts picture of Leo DiCaprio giving his umbrella to a date because it is pouring outside, and it gets flooded with likes and comments about what a man Leo is and how their life would be if only a real man like that was around. I think as much as men build up women, there is definitely a weird Unattainable Prince Charming vibe working it's way through you women.

I loving love this story so much. Uhh, except for the part about the creepy dude who pissed all over the place so he could stare at hired maids clean his filthy toilet. But the rest of it was great! At least he umm, never had to have the cops called on him? Hurray?

They do, but it nearly always takes the form of passive-aggressive and terrible advice-- namely, "you didn't hit them enough" and "you shouldn't have had them if you were going to go on welfare." For some reason, I only hear the latter from people who are both anti-abortion and anti-raising-the-minimum-wage.
