Of course they are: they just lost a senate race in fucking Alabama. They’ve utterly poisoned the well for an entire generation that’s going to be voting for the next 50+ years, while their own voting base is shrinking faster than Roy Moore’s dick at turning-20 birthday party.
They’re conditioned to think that way from infancy, basically. It leads to the occasional awkward interaction in my classroom, when some guy tries really hard to establish himself as the authority rather than me. True story: I once had a student complain about the way I graded his exam, and he started with “I’ve taken…
Except he’s blabbing about a legal matter. Alleged crimes.
On one hand, I agree with you. However, his choice of words was awful. All he had to say was “that isn’t my department” or even “hey, I’m not at work” (which is something I’ve said to people when I am not at work and they want to talk business.) But to double down on it and approach her later- that’s just shitty and…
He just had to get the last word and use that word to try to reassert the power that he thinks is his god-given white male right. She knocked him off balance when she disclosed she was a victim. Many men don’t know what to do when they feel they’ve lost control to a woman, so he had to put himself back on top by…
Yep. Birth control would have to be really, horribly dangerous to match even the physical risks from pregnancy, much less the psychological factors you mention.
Also don’t breathe, there’s pollutants in the air.
So increased risk of cancer from birth control due to hormones.
This is a fun one. Every successful ‘self-made’ ‘rich’ person I’ve gotten information from and successful retirey, boils it down to this...
Save your money as much as possible. Sacrifice some of the immediate gains. Life is long, plan long.
In Australia, the British colonists declared the land “Terra Nullius”, “nobody’s land”. They didn’t just ignore the ownership of the Indigenous people (who had been there for at least 65,000 years); they denied it existed. Australian Aborigines were governed under wildlife laws until well into the 20th Century, and…
No way. Being Queen is actually a lot of work. Work I would hate (state dinners, lots of shaking hands, lots of tours, never being allowed to state your opinion.)
Boobs or not. I’m just glad Margaret found someone as boring, pretentious, and filled with unearned self-worth as herself.
Sometimes babies need to go places, too. You sound like my roommate when she says children don’t belong on the subway.
It’s not that he did anything wrong, it’s that the media is focusing on these bullshit side stories rather than fucking addressing the causes behind these sort of disasters.
Every time I really sit and think about manifest destiny it fucks me all the way up. White men just woke up one morning and thought all this shit is mine. That’s crazy. Like is it possible for an entire group of people to be born with narcissistic personality disorder?
I get my dopamine hits from Gizmodo, i09 and Lifehacker.
The advantage of transporting the battery in the cabin is that a battery fire in the cabin is relatively easily controllable. We carry fire socks on board. These are fireproof bags to put lithium batteries in. Cool the battery with water, then put it in the fire sock. Put the fire sock in a lavatory. Not a huge deal.
Very tangential tale:
Since you mentioned grasshoppers, I am reminded of the best discussion I ever had with a Biblical literalist (on, of all places, an online Atari 2600 forum.) They challenged me to name a single example of the The Bible being factually wrong. I decided I'd be better off with something innocuous…
