I think we should swap stories

Hi are you me right now?!

It feels like basic empathy is so uncommon in some spheres nowadays that it might be “radical”

• A bottle that refills magically with the most delicious, cool, refreshing water
• Wolverine’s ability to regenerate any body part
• And invisibility cloak

So what you’re advocating is for everyone to get the same cake for all occasions and decorate it as they can in private? A gay couple should never be able to buy a cake with a topper, just a cake in public? Hide their shameful lifestyles? A boy shouldn’t be able to buy a strawberry pink cake because that would be unnatural

anymore than they could discriminate against people of color by denying them the same products and services they provide to white people

That just never seems to work out right, judging by historical evidence, does it? Wouldn’t it help if there were… Laws to protect from that?

I would also say if the bakery won’t put a gay topper on a cake, they can’t put a specifically straight topper on either.

How would that ever be enforced?

The point is: if you find proving a service to a gay person as deplorable as someone advocating for racial superiority or genocide, you should be forced to rethink your line of business

I’m pretty sure you choose to be a hateful spiteful Nazi. You don’t choose to be gay. There’s a HUGE difference. It is a bad faith argument to equate holding hateful views and opinions to being born different. With that reasoning, the feeling of discomfort when an owner sees a black person or an Asian person is acceptable grounds to deny services to them.

A hobby is a great way : if you have the time, energy and enjoy new things I’d really recommend social dancing. I’ve done salsa and swing classes and social nights, and found it very useful to build a nice group of people who get together for a not-so-intense hobby. They’re generally out in a public space, they get you moving, and don’t require intense socialisation all the time ( you’re more focused on the dance). A social generally has people of all degrees of dancing expertise. You get to chat with people you’d otherwise never cross paths with. Sometimes there’s live music too!

I agree! Can’t wait to be able to have hardwood floors and put down a rug or two. But all this is so expensive so I’ll take the gross off white carpet for now

As someone with a German shepherd, vacuum the carpets. You can never get that pet hair out enough, and just when you think you’re done there’s more! I can feel it pleasing my sinuses every time I vacuum

All I’ll say is The time r/funny became a default sub, things started to go downhill and I had to start blocking subs from my page

I don’t know if it’s just me but it reminds me of early Reddit, without all the Karma whoring
