...You’ve watched all episodes of Sweden’s top model? Either way, it doesn’t really matter what shows you watch.

You are not trying to be sensitive. If it was just a mistake and you really wanted to just be sensitive, the response to “Her, idiot” is “Oops, you’re right, ‘her transformation,’ I’m sorry.” Sincere people who made a mistake don’t spend countless comments defending their insulting use of a male pronoun for a woman.

I’m going to give you the benefit of overwhelming doubt and assume you’re just really clueless: transgender women are women. That means you use female pronouns, and it means saying “his transformation” is extremely offensive. It’s her transformation, which she went through (among many other reasons) so people would…

At which point, Cat delivers a whole speech (that’s already become famous from the trailers months ago) about the meaning of being a “girl”—Cat is a girl, but she’s still a boss, and powerful, and in control, etc. etc.

I just want to point out thatyou scrolled past the link for the Gizmodo article and the science that backs up the guy you’re calling stupid.

Well, it’s a scam if it’s being marketed for weight loss (the evidence just isn’t there), but you’re right, for athletes and older people it has well-documented benefits.

Seriously, yes. You just scrolled past the link where Gizmodo explains it.

I love my Mirena, I spent years on various BC pills, and for me the hormones are at the perfect level. I don’t have the mood swings or weight gain I had with pills, it doesn’t reduce acne but I’m ok with that, I have spotting every couple months and no cramps.

Or maybe it’s fantastically arrogant to think we should be making decisions (based on logic (like European colonizers) or feelings) for other counties and cultures in the first place.

If you haven’t seen it yet, Daredevil is fantastic, and Charlie Cox seems like a great human being. Hope!

Eeeugh, yes and no. It’s not right to impose our system of government on everyone, but the phrase “Some people just aren’t made for democracy. Some people just need a dictator.” feels really offensive to me. That’s the logic Europeans used to justify not applying rule of law to colonized lands and peoples, which led…

Mackie, I like you a lot as an actor and think you were great as the Falcon/future possible Captain America, but you do know what your character’s doing in the comics, right?! You know that Sam Wilson was created to help Steve Rodgers, when Captain America’s raison d’etre changed from “Punch Hitler” to “help combat…

I think the justification is that you’re not getting free work, you’re giving free training! What a wonderful company! Never mind that they are at the very least also getting free work and the training is very rarely worth a damn thing and isn’t always free.

The way it was once explained to me is that you tip according to what you receive, and god gives you everything, so you tip god 10% of everything you receive. Of course, this pastor was trying to talk people into tithing, not out of tipping. Particularly because his daughter was a server and people pulled this shit on…

And if I had ever said “only Christians don’t tip,” that would be a valid point (though still not a non sequitur). But I never did, so it’s not.

The New Testament is only relevant to tipping in that many people (presumably all Christians) leave them in place of tips as a way to justify not tipping. Once again, it’s not…

For the third and hopefully final time, everyone (myself included) knows that Christian beliefs and practices vary widely. There are no Bible verses specifically addressing tipping, but there are hundreds that say that Christians are to be generous (especially with worldly wealth, which is unambiguously distasteful),…

“Christians” means people who believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. Catholics and Protestants can fight all they want about whether the others are “real Christians,” but in general I think this is a definition most people can agree on.

PS Can I please be un-greyed?

Yeah, ridiculous politicians and their similarities to the hero of one of the most popular and well-loved books and film franchises of all time!

Except Targets don’t have music, at least not any of the ones I’ve been in, and I used to work there.
