When I was working in restaurants, I knew a (White) bartender who posted on Facebook: “Man, I hate niggardly tippers! …And you know what I mean by ‘niggardly.’”
First reply was a Black person: “No, I don’t. What do you mean?”
He then tried to glibly define what the word meant. The whole rest of the exchange was uncomfortable to read through.
it really should be, workplaces that tolerate assholes are notably shittier.
this is really the only good way to respond to these sorts of comments
As a practical matter, it seems like doing it in private workplaces is technically easier.
In state run workplaces, it is much tougher for obvious reasons.
There is only a limited amount of occasions to use the word. I don’t know what frequency of saying the word is too much but at some point we can safely conclude that there are going out of their way to use it. I am struggling with the idea of punishing someone for using a word that only rhymes with an offensive word as long as their not doing it to be a dick or just because.
I guess if an institution really wants to make the use of the word punishable they should include it in the official rules/guidelines. Then if someone keeps using it in avoidable situations then there is justification for punishing them.
LOL maybe just don’t use the word ever. GTFO
They’d never frame it this way but it seems like Phoenix is leading the way in defunding the police.
The city of Phoenix has expanded a program that handles calls related to mental health, substance abuse and crisis intervention. In turn, it’s helping take a load off fire and police departments.
CAP consists of crisis response units and behavioral health units, along with behavioral health dispatchers. The city hired 48 more caseworkers who started working in July, bringing the total number of staff to nearly 80.
Disagree that it’s difficult to police it. In real life, it’s literally “Hey, you’re being a douche, knock it off” followed by “get the fuck out of my house/bar/restaurant/whatever if they don’t.”
People really like litigating rules and appropriate punishments and get off on ‘winning’. Immediately invoking the nuclear option ruins their game you fascist.
It’s why we’re all here, at some level.
Things seem to be going swimmingly for Mike Lindell:

What company is that?
Draftkings
All this stuff never ceases to amaze me, like what do companies think is the upside of this stuff especially compared to just making some generic corporate statement of remembrance or whatever
This is the annual occasion where we remember Boomer 9/11 cringe
