There is a difference between advising women not to let their guard down and saying that women who ostensibly have let their guard down are making excuses for fucking up when they get raped while their guard is down. Will I advise my daughter to be careful and not drink too much at parties lest she end up incapable of…

Listen white people just because someone black brown or yellow was hired instead of you doesn’t mean you were discriminated against, it just means you’re not good enough.

I agree...we need to see his birth certificate. I say we start another birther conspiracy against him just for gits and shiggles.

I just wonder if she’s afraid because she has already tried and been shut down. (Yes, she should leave, but it takes a lot to get to that point.)

Nawwwwww.. this mfer ain’t 32... I don’t care if his mama has a time stamp on her vagina from when his head popped out.. lmao

Interesting take. But nah.

I am not saying women are unable to lie, I am saying in my personal experience I have never, ever heard of a woman “getting ahead” as a result of these situations. If she lied to get the coworker fired, it didn’t work. If she lied to get promoted, it didn’t work. If she lied to get a raise, it didn’t work. So I am…

but any rational person knows that some people lie to get ahead

“From most things I hear,”

Every left leaning friend and family member of mine wants single payer. It’s the politicians. I’m not sure if it’s corporate interest/insurance companies, taxes, or fear of being defeated by anti-tax conservatives. It’s maddening. Will you let me be Canadian?

Also Canadian. When I heard one of the GOP congressman go on about why prenatal care was included in ACA plans, because he doesn’t need it, I just thought “who are these selfish creeps who hate their moms that much?” And for the record, he needed prenatal care at least once.

There is no good reason.
We are collectively stupid and impressionable.

decades of propaganda and an increasing lack of education.

Most elected officials won’t go on the record supporting it, but most (or at least a large proportion) of civilians on the left support it. The average American probably has been fed so many lies about how it works, though, that they are against it because they think it will double there tax bill and mean they’d have…

It’s because conservatives have been so effective in convincing Americans than public health care is for Communists.

A question from a Canadian. From most things I hear, even American’s who identify as Democrats, or left leaning in their politics are against public health care. Why? Is it taxes? Because I mean shit, if you’re paying like a grand a month in insurance premiums I can assure you your taxes wouldn’t be that high. It just…

Did you read the posters above describing the concept of people coming into a historic neighborhood with long-established, cultural norms, and then trying to change those norms to meet their preferences? Race/gentrification/ social issues have everything to do with it. Colonizers/Columbusers/Gentrifiers frequently…

True story, I dated a guy who lived down the street from the ice cream truck depot in the West Village. Around 5pm, every summer evening, they all roll out as an adorably coordinated sugar-fueled cheer army. The jingles were always delightful because even though they were loud, they just sound like happiness.

Collins said in court papers she’s now remorseful for her actions.

...and someday you can look back and know that you did your part to stop an orange cloud of fascism from taking over your country, even if it wasn’t you who stood the most to lose.
