Pro-vaccination, but pharmaceutical interventions for mild to moderate depression are not well proven for efficacy, and have tangible, negative, side effects (ahem suicidal ideation).

There are meet ups and other groups for stuff like this. Try googling women solo travelers + women solo hikers. Or, if you're in the northeast there's always the Adirondack mountain club.

No, he's just trying to get a liquor license for his restaurant: http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-ech… OP was making a joke that with his background he'd make a perfect police officer likely given how badly many officers (most notably the one who killed Tamir Rice) have behaved.

I've been with Jez since 2007, I have a burner because of the great gawker hacking when they proved untrustworthy with personal info. Nothing like a hacker emailing you to change your password (I got lucky it was a burner account). I remember when Hortense used to disemvowel people.

That was jez circa 2007 and has long jumped ship along with Anna Holmes.

You're taking this personally. She's talking about literal sexy time. Salad is best eaten with a fork since the lettuce and dressing makes it kind of a gross endeavor for hooking up, unless you're southern and your idea of salad includes things like cool whip. In your case you might go with finger foods like carrot…

I have ASMR but the whispering videos don't do it for me. Bob Ross when I was a kid did, I think because listening to him is like listening to a very soothing adult where you don't have to pay too close attention to the words. Like story time (which also is a trigger), having someone play with my ear, or stroke my…

This burger place near here used to have cows on the wall with quote bubbles saying "eat more chicken" (you know, i.e. don't eat the cows). It was always weird to me because I don't eat cow- I was order turkey burgers. they had veggie patties too.

Thanks! I write but not about race, generally.

Yes I realize that. My uncles were cab drivers and it's not uncommon for them to take a multi-state fare. That was just the first one to pop up on google.

Not to respond twice to my own post but this popped up on my twitter feed: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/mis…

You clearly don't know cab drivers then. It's not uncommon to get asked to drive those kinds of distances (though not super common) , usually because someone's missed a flight or something and is in an emergency. You ask for a portion of the money upfront because you don't want to be assed out like this guy: http://www…

I'm in my 30s with a sibling who is roughly 15 years younger. I love her. I love her friends, and if one of them wanted to keep up a correspondence with me heck yeah I'd do it. But I'm also not a creeper - I have adult friends and adult relationships - they're just super rad teens and I dig their youthful exuberance…

I think the availability of guns is a factor in the death, but honestly the least likely one. Eric Garner was killed by cops for breaking up a fight. If you watch the video they knew he wasn't armed, they just wanted to hassle him, the way they always hassled him and then they claimed he was resisting arrest. When…

As a black American, I disagree. I tried writing this but Kinja hiccuped. I can't think of another 'western' country which practices as much physical violence, both institutional and otherwise against its minority populations. I've lived in France and have spent time in the UK and while I can honestly say that the…

Eric Garner was ruled a homicide and the cops got off.

black twitter is talking about it... but not MSM

I like to bring up John Crawford a lot for this reason. Dude picked up a pellet gun in wal-mart, was wandering around the store, holding merchandise he maybe intended to purchase, minding his own business and was shot by cops. Neither the guy who called him in for threatening people (which video footage does not…

I disagree. I'm black, and I've lived in France, and while the racism there is more pernicious the idea that in modern day France or England you'd find the amount of minority incarceration, and police violence against minority populations is inconceivable. I'm not painting any country as a utopia, but the physical…

I like to bring up John Crawford a lot for this reason. Dude picked up a pellet gun in wal-mart, was wandering around minding his own business and was shot by cops. Neither the guy who called him in for threatening people (which video footage does not support, Crawford was killed while on the phone with the mother of…
