This is why whenever I need to get some food, I just go to the supermarket and hang out by the checkout. I get to be in close proximity to people who have food, which is the same as having it, yourself.

Stop violating his First Amendment rights by saying he is wrong!!!

My career and life do not deserve to be taken away without some basic level of due process

Donald being pantsless is disturbing. He wears a shirt, but he has no pants! He’s like the Fernwood Flasher.

My skin itched when I read that Martha Stewart was lumped in with the Housewives Of Who The Fuck Cares. Martha Stewart did shit, owned shit and has created a legacy. She is the doyenne of domestic. I fucking love her.

Other people have already pointed out why it is causing discomfort that a teacher comes to conclusions about her students based on their names. To extrapolate that to how a teacher might have biases toward children based on ethnicity or race is not a big stretch.

Yes I think it’s been established name trends in demographics exist. but I think you misunderstood me. Never at one time did I say racial biases was your fault it doesn’t seem your categorize the kids based on race. I said that’s why people would be sensitive to your original comment. It brings a lot of baggage.While…

I’m a librarian, working with mostly adults and sometimes, kids. Adults across racial, income and age divides generally have more traditional names. Anyone under 25; all bets are off.

Thank you. Yes. This. As someone that gets called every name that is close to my name because mine is a made up fucking name. It’s lame. And changing your name is a pain and sort of a blow to your parents. It’s not a great position to put your kid in.

Yeah, as a someone with a ‘unique’ name that’s bullshit. Your kid’s name is super public. And if they have to spell it for people or explain it to people forever... Well, you SHOULD consider that when you’re naming them.

When you name your kids, it’s about you for maybe 5 years. Then, for the remainder of your kid’s life, your kid Kaj is stuck with being called Guy and Sky, and having to say 4 times a day “Kaj: K as in Kangaroo, A as in Adam, J as Josh, which are all names I’d rather have.” At some point no one is going to think about…

Is that Kai you know Kai Ryssdal? Because I fully support you naming your children after NPR personalities. You can follow Kai with a Michelle (MEE-chell) and then an Ofeibea Quist-Arcton (gotta go with the whole name on that one)

It would be neat if demisexual people were into having sex halfway, and then just stopping.

I have so many questions for a dude who buys matching cars with his friend.

Languages are lost all over the world, that’s how languages are. They pop up and change to the point where they are no longer recognizable as the previous language or disappear entirely. It’s sad but its not a crime against humanity. There are a ton of languages in Europe that have disappeared entirely very recently…

Remember the encyclopedia that was on cd-rom? What the hell was that called?

Not tryin’ to give you flack, it’s a legit question, but when I’m alone, I will do whatever I need to not to piss off a dude. And unfortunately your extremely reasonable suggestion is (certainly in my experience) very likely to engender a response ranging from huffy to enraged.

A lot of men use the excuse that they can’t pick up on hints. A lot of men think they can get away with ignoring social cues because they’re men, and they don’t have to be polite. A lot of men know exactly what they’re doing but feel they have a right to do it anyway because “free speech” and “you can’t stop me” and…

I was really hoping someone would be so self-involved as to turn a larger issue into an anecdote about a unique personal experience that does nothing to change any of the points made in the post. Thanks!
