All it does is show me you have a superiority complex and deep rooted classist tendencies. I’ve been a waitress, a barista and a sales associate, so your talking down to others just tells me at one point you would’ve talked down to me. This guy in the queue tried to buy me a coffee today, after ripping into the guy behind the counter about his skills and his job. Don’t care what people do for a living, if you don’t treat ‘em like (very important) people when you deal with them, we can’t be friends.
“A person who is nice to you but cruel to the waiter isn’t a nice person.”
I don’t understand how people don’t get this
It is terrifying. It means if you don’t adhere to their demands or if you make one little mistake, they can turn on you. I don’t deal with people who are nasty to others.

This is by far the greatest post in existence. You can all go home. I am in pure awe at the brilliance of this. The world is beautiful and there is hope for humanity.
"Just appearing as a woman online, it seems, can be enough to inspire abuse. In 2006, researchers from the University of Maryland set up a bunch of fake online accounts and then dispatched them into chat rooms. Accounts with feminine usernames incurred an average of 100 sexually explicit or threatening messages a day. Masculine names received 3.7."
on the one hand, i’m glad we have actual quantitative research on this. on the other hand, i’m like, “well, duh, any lady/lady-leaning nerd could’ve told you this”.
if i went out in public with my girlfriend and then a couple days later i find a picture of us posted by a stranger and it has thousands of notes and said stranger didn’t ask for our permission and they reason they posted it is because “look at this cute gay couple i saw :000” i would be extremely pissed off
if you see a cute cat while you’re out on your outing and you post a picture of the cat on your blog the cat isn’t gonna be mad because the cat doesn’t even know what a camera is
but queer couples aren’t animals and queer couples know what the internet is and by posting a photo of them nonconsensually you could be endangering them and you are invading their private life stop treating queer couples like animals and stop objectifying them stop stop stop
