Too horny to be horn-y.

"One of the things that makes people dislike religious folk is the tendency of believers to destroy entire relationships over violating dogma, breaking families and refusing to support children."

...which is to say, let's not clutch our pearls over jokes, especially those made by communities that are often very scarred by religious abuse. "Punching up" isn't the problem here.

No. The court is ordering the state to allow the necessary medical procedure, NOT mandating to the pregnant woman that she must have an abortion. You either need to read the article more closely, or stop changing the words into different meanings, whichever is relevant.

Now I really want to know what the sexual equivalent of en passant would be.

Did you choose to be an ass who misses the point? or did someone force you?

As an engr manager, I've often seen disparity as a result of being hired during good years vs bad years for the company. Or when someone gets a better offer to leave, the company may change their pay but no one else's. Or hiring externally vs a transfer from another internal team. Or whether the team is coding for frontend web vs dev tools, even if using the same language. Or if female.

It's always a challenge for one person to fix -- with HR, with the department head, with yearly budget. And sometimes fixing one disparity means not having the sway to fix another as well.

Which is to say -- pay transparency and unions are good for everyone. And if the company can't afford to treat the employees equitably, then the company shouldn't exist. (Or it should reduce its avocado toast budget.)

They SHOULDN'T be "christian", but in practice they are. I get your point, but it's a "no true Scotsman" argument -- the "christian" political machine is still supporting these politicians who push these doctrines.

I mean, LGBTQ rights are only "not a major problem" to those who aren't LGBTQ. But to many they're absolutely critical too.

There can be multiple horrifying problems to fix. "All" would be stellar to fix, but "some" is still better than "none."
