I bet that dude enters every conversation he can shoulder (bony weak shoulders) himself into with “When I was at university I wrote a paper on…”
And his audience is like “Mom! The wierd guy is blocking the sliding board again!”.
You have raised a good point. Inflammatory news(?) for lack of a better term is just what you said, click bait. Another example would be the “Betsy Ross Flag” which drove me to scream out loud. Frankly, I am just sick of everything in the MSM and all the social media outlets, what a cesspool.

It’s all about money. The so-called legit news sources are more concerned about ratings than the facts. It doesn’t help that they have to compete with internet “journalism” which lowered the bar of our expectations from the news.
Anyone seen the new rules for MLB they are trying out? This is fucking stupid, af.

Yeah I saw this. I don’t think this would happen almost ever in the MLB though. You’d have to have the foresight to be prepared for the opportunity and then the type of sense to see a ball go so far away that the risk is worth it.
I may sound like an old man but this is not baseballs biggest problem. The problem is the game is turning into strikeouts and homers only. The incentive to do things like steal and bunt are going down as why risk an out on the base paths if everyone’s knocking it out? The situational aspect of the game is diminishing.
Baseball knows it has a problem with a juiced ball. But right now it seems they don’t want to fix it. Quick google brought this article up which explains it more than I want to type out.

Satirical piece about the case.

This person has filed over a dozen of these complaints. Shakedown operation much?
Scam by the numbers
Step 1: wear dress.
Step 2: demand salon services
Step 3: Sue when they deny the services
Step 4: profit
“The complaint heard Wednesday is one of more than a dozen filed by Yaniv, who describes herself as a digital marketing expert and LGBTQ activist. All allege she was the subject of discrimination by salons. A few complaints have been settled without hearing or withdrawn.”
“You cannot choose who your clientele is going to be,” she said."
Not in the postmodern west apparantly.

AKA SJW who plays the victim card constantly and sees every slightly negative thing as a direct insult to his/her/their (can’t get accused of using the wrong pronoun) person.

I don’t think she really cares about the issues. She just wants publicity to promote herself. We live in an age where people can make a lot of money just by getting attention. And we make the mistake of giving it to them. So what is essentially a troll job by a wannabe “influencer” becomes another sign of the apocalypse by the right.
It was like that before either of us was born.
"I stand shoulder to shoulder with Jessica Yaniv and it’s clear from the way she’s courageously fighting her corner, she is one ballsy lady. "
This wins the internet today

It is apocalyptic to the lives that get trampled on the way to wokeness. Christian bakers, Christian photographers, immigrant vagina waxers and anyone else who dares to refuse service. If this guy happens to win his lawsuit, which I’d call possible in a country that passed bill C-16, it will have the byproduct of legally compelling these poor women into enduring a sexual assault.
Nothing to see here. Just some routine tolerance.

The complainant interviewed on Irish radio makes for an interesting listen.
I see it as the opposite of the slippery slope. There is no way that anyone could be or would be forced by the government to do that. Didn’t the bakery case make a distinction between a product of labor and the labor itself? You have to sell an existing product but you can’t be forced to make one.
Lol. Oh gosh. Thank you for that one. This is a classic.
I believe that was the baker’s argument. No ruling by SCOTUS was really made on the case other than the lower courts were prejudicial.
Could be misconstruing things though.

As I understand it, you aren’t. The ruling was very narrow, and that was the reason Kagan joined the majority.
Plenty of obiter opinions for the court to decide to endorse in future. The starkest being Thomas and Ginsberg’s dissent.
