Could they not come up with the exit verbage on their own. All the tweets are within a word or 2 the same format and message. Not one said one bad thing about the place?

part of the buy in. i'm not saying leftist ideology is wrong or right, but people that buy into the gender fluidity, toxic manhood, equality, intersectionality, etc. are not worried about the bottom dollar. they were happy to have a place to pay them to get their message out there.

Nike, Gillette, that Lumber company and a lot of others have made it clear that they are about the message they're promoting, and don't mind alienating their customer base to do it.

Again, it's not for me to say they're right or wrong, I just happen to disagree with their stances most often.

Apparently BF is only paying out accrued vacation/time off where legally required to do so. There are many who are criticizing this.

Many of these shite writers have joined activist groups.

These idiots know how to spew propaganda, so it's up their alley.

But more importantly, also for Anglo linguistic norms, which is the point.

I can simplify the doctor thing.

If you can legally write a prescription for a controlled substance, you are a real doctor.

As far as PhD, outside of scientific research settings (bio, chem, real sciences where you have to know advanced math) you aren't a Dr.

Except for Dr. Henry Jones Jr. he gets a pass.

And if you have a Tardis you are The Doctor.

Seriously - this thread is wonderful.

I've seen posts on the OT, PB, and SECRant that are better displays of insight and analysis than most of what passes for journalism.


Now that's crossing the line!
