No... those are two different things with two different meanings...

Interesting! Do you have a citation? That photo could have been taken anywhere, there’s nothing identifying in it.

This is what I mean: if I don’t speak your language, you refuse to understand me. This is an actual problem with policing speech- you’ve mistaken me for a Trump supporter. And you put on your Trump-hating glasses and couldn’t see any further. I bet the anger felt good, when you were writing. You thought you’d found a…

Fact check:

I just wanted to add some perspective. I think this phrase runs right through some politispeech.

I live near Malibu. The worst I’ve seen most frequently is somebody driving a very expensive car (read: Bentley, Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, you get the idea) down the center double-yellow’ed “turning lane” of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) while traffic is at a standstill. It’s basically thumbing their…

I understand your reaction. I understand, in this tribal atmosphere, a response like this feels inevitable, feels like righteous indignation. I am just disappointed that, unlike Michelle Obama, this piece goes low instead of high.

Climate change. We really have to go over this again?

And is Mueller actually black? In the video, Mueller looks like Dwayne Johnson if The Rock started reading more and working out less. What righteous black man refers to himself as a “man of color,” even if his color could only be replicated by buying a 64-pack box of Crayola crayons, melting down a raw sienna and…

As many have pointed out, government not being involved in the news business is extremely important to prevent corruption in that process. You can call it propaganda, freedom of the press, whatever, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a bad idea.

Oooo... That’s definitely not correct. Wyzant is a really bad reference.

One of my pet peeves is getting stats wrong, and this is incorrect:

So I went through security late last night and, per usual, I opted out. (I opt out for a variety of reasons, but most significant is that if my body is going to be examined, I want to know exactly to what extent, and I can’t be 100% sure with the scanners.) They added a procedure. All brushing is about the pressure…

One word: Netflix!

As far as I can tell, it’s gone. I’m sad, and the extra $20/month hurts my wallet a bit, but I don’t know how I’d give up my ~20Gb/month habit.

I can’t help but notice you didn’t learn anything from Kirk. *coughPicardisbettercough*

I’ll take the bait, although I’m not sure why, because I’m 99.9% certain you were being hyperbolic...

I think the problem some commenters are having is a sympathy vs. empathy issue. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Emp…

There’s another reason to use tape: feedback. I have had back pain related to poor posture. My physical therapist taped me up so whenever I slouched, the tape pulled uncomfortably on my skin. If you tape things properly, in certain scenarios it can remind you to have better form, which can help you execute movements…

OHHHHHHHH man the hug. How I hated the hug in high school. I think it’s a millennial thing?
