I ask all the time and no one has ever said no or been the slightest bit rude to me. If the person in the seat also needs the seat due to a disability, without fail someone in a non-disabled seat has offered me a seat. Sorry, but it’s not reasonable to expect people to stand and leave a seat vacant on a train just in…

Disabled person and regular Acela traveler (as well as local train taker) here. I hate Republicans as much as the rest of you, but there’s no requirement that you don’t sit in the disabled seating if there are no disabled people who need it. Acela cars from DC to NY are usually pretty full with nearly every seat…

Feminist infighting does hurt the cause, just not in the way whiny white women think it does. All these butthurt white women are hurting the movement for all women’s equality because their egos are more important than standing up for equality.

It’s a small place thing. I’m from rural Colorado and would also have done that. And I bet someone from Atlanta would not have.

Jesus Christ who cares? White people, this is not the time to cling to the need to be in control and/or to flounce if you don’t understand or agree with everything the march organizers do or if you don’t know what ‘privilege’ means or what the fuck ever. This is the time to stand up together because regardless of your…

Also the Dress Barn closest to the White House literally just went out of business and closed last Friday.

Probably about half of ambassadors are appointees connected somehow to the president (but not necessarily wealthy) and half are career foreign service who got appointed due to their decades of dedicated service to our nation. Sounds like Trump is recalling all of them.

That is an A+ band name.

Oh my god that’s a great analogy.

I’ve had anal sex, and I still don’t see any way you could just slip it in without my cooperation unless you were being seriously violent about it. So someone would have to be thrusting really hard for it to be feasible and even then, idk.

Holy shit, I had to learn where and what a vas deferens is and your kids’ school doesn’t even teach the difference between the pee hole and the baby-making hole?

Nope. She’s adopted, and while I don’t actually know her biological ancestry, I know she self-identifies as black.

I feel like for many parents (good parents - the mom in this story doesn’t seem like mother of the year) it’s a hard decision to make but sometimes necessary. My friend has a daughter who has a learning disability and some emotional issues, and is cognitively about 9 years old, but physically is 16 and is adult-sized…

Isn’t that where they’d transport a pet in a crate though? So doesn’t it have to be heated?

Gchat has a ton of easter eggs like this too. I find it delightful. Also I enjoy using the internet to interact with and stay close to people I am not physically close to! Nothing sad about it.

Well, we don’t know how many are opting out of singing at inauguration. She resigned to make a point, but she could have just chosen to skip this particular performance.

This is a real phenomenon. It can happen to pilots of certain planes too.

Oh my god I’m crying. Thank you so much for that video.

If it helps, I grew up in a really, really cold climate not unlike North Dakota and people who are from there know how to prepare and stay safe. And the Sioux’s ancestors have been surviving North Dakota winters for centuries. But money will help them get what they need to stay safe.

What??? Was this covered in the news? I feel like this kind of corporate scam needs to get more attention.
