Every woman should be able to get an abortion, if she thinks, for whatever reason, she needs to have it.

Pets are family members and should be treated as such. Living on a chain outside or permanently crated is just not acceptable. Feed should include quality food (not tinned muck). If you can't afford vet bills (when they occur) then don't have pets - they need medical care just as much as humans.

You are not allowed to dictate what other people (or their children) read. If you don't want to read about X, Y, Z...I respect that choice. There are plenty of other topics out there. You don't want your kids to read X, Y, Z? You're the parental figure. You're in charge. But you don't get to come into libraries (or schools, or stores, etc) to demand a blanket ban of everything you personally find objectionable.

And you better do a good introspection WHY you don't want to read a book, or have you rkid read it. And that should go deeper than "oh, I don't want them to know about X".

Writing properly and speaking properly is important. Sure, everyone drops an occasional "u" or "wyd" in a text, but this is unacceptable in any other sort of written communication. If you're uncertain of how to spell a word, don't guess; spellcheck exists. Dictionaries exist. When speaking, use proper grammar. People will judge you by how you write and how you speak. If you sound ignorant, you will be perceived as ignorant.

I feel like something that I will always have a passion for is just preservation of nature. People seeming scared of insects or bugs or just outright harming certain places is always unthinkable to me, and just something that I will never think about doing.

Another area would probably just be preservation of old literature and works, as well as not censoring work; someone's work should be able to read by everyone for all eternity.

Most smart people in the UK agree. Sadly, the referendum vote wasn't limited to smart people.

This was much less confusing when it was first posted here, without the odd ordering of headlines and actual text, just a couple of days ago.

I work in retail, grocery to be specific. The customer is not always right. It's frustrating to explain that we do run out of things. I don't control the freight that's brought in, nor the price. I will blatantly tell you we don't have it because it's 10 minutes to closing and it's on a pallet with 200 other cases. Don't be that customer. We're not a wholesale warehouse. We stock overnight for a reason. You were just unlucky that what you wanted is gone after a whole day. Some people respect that and some don't.

Madam or sir, if we had it in the back we would go get it for you. The business plan here is making money by selling you stuff, not hiding it from you.

That in 2025 those of us in wheelchairs, and other disabilities, still have a huge disadvantage in life:
Ex: finding jobs, housing that fit a wheelchair, vehicles to drive, etc.

I was in a clothing shop with my mum recently. She was looking at the clothes and I was standing by the door waiting for her. The shop had a lovely new ramp and I watched wheelchair uses come in the shop and was quite delighted to see the ramp, but when she got further into the shop she couldn't move around because the shop was so cramped and full of stuff. It was madness.

If you are not going to start paying me overtime until I stay over 40 minutes, do not be surprised or hurt when I leave at 17:30 on the dot. If I have work that needs to be done, I will stay, but don't expect me to leave until I hit that 40 minute mark, even if it means I am twiddling my thumbs on the clock.

Isn't ANYTHING over your normal working hours considered overtime? What's with the 40 minute rule?
