What if someone richer than the peach grower took a picture of the peaches, and then demanded everyone else pay them instead of the peach grower for copies of the photo of the peaches? Would you still be upset if the peach photographer didn't make money from every single person who obtained a copy of the photo of the peaches? In some cases, the peach grower got paid before the photo started being sold, in other cases the peach grower gets 0.0004% of the profit from each peach photo sold.

I very strongly disagree. It may appear that way, but community is simply less profitable than "influencers", so communities aren't invested in. Social media and even following influencers/content creators is an example of people looking for community, just not having healthy communities to pick from.

The BBB is a privately owned corporation with all the issues of Yelp (blackmailing companies to pay to hide bad reviews).

It gets better, because all the money they "lost" on a movie they can also write off. Oops, we didn't make any money this year because we put out 10 billion dollar movies and only made 10 million at the box office. Tax break please!

Yeah but the sexual harassment never stops!

Would you be ok with a limited spooky season if it came with a ban (enforced by the death penalty, no trial), on Xmas music outside of a 36 hour window starting at noon on Xmas eve?

All the comments saying it's a distraction from how the working class is being oppressed by the owner class are right, but also...

There have always been bigots, small town small minded people who don't "know any gay people" but there was that one skinny boy in their class that didn't like sports so he was bullied until he left town at 18. And now, that generation of bigots is finally dying out. Not only due to age but due to an increased connection with the greater world. A small town bigot might not know any LGBT people personally but they are aware of their existence, due to television and the Internet. So quietly ignoring people who are different than you doesn't work anymore. And a dying animal fights harder than ever.

These death throes are useful to the owner class. But they are still dying out. And if we can exterminate capitalism and figure out a way to survive in a post-warmed globe, we might just see the end of (this particular type) of bigotry.

things aren't as rosy as they were a couple of years ago

A couple of years ago it was a thornbush with no roses, so what does that say about now?

The rich are actively trying to be yote into space. All we're saying is redirect their rockets to ensure they don't come home again.

My butthole is a marker unless I get a whiff of fiber, at which point it turns into a firehose. The only time I get a decent poop is when my diet is mostly sugar, cheese, and meat.

I'm in agreement except for the wedding planner. Whether they help with the planning from day one or are just the day-of coordinator, a good wedding planner is worth their weight in gold. I'd rather plug an old mp3 player into a portable speaker and skip the DJ before I recommend skipping out on the planner.

Helmet? What are you, some kind of weakling who has a brain to protect? Get a Harley, that's a motorcycle for us big overcompensators, and we don't do helmets, because there's nothing up there to protect!
