“Whiteness” is a construct designed by a particular group of people in order to exclude particular other groups and deny them their rights. It has been used to mean or to exclude a variety of people of varying skin tones and ethnic backgrounds, depending on what was convenient at the time. “Blackness” is also a social…

The problem is your refusal/inability to read the word in context. “Whiteness” is clearly not referring to the immutable physical trait in this instance.

Yeah, it’s almost as if you have to think more deeply about what the phrase means instead of taking it at its most literal interpretation. Like a university student.

I live in Canada where we pay nothing to visit our health care providers. This person is a moron and doesn’t understand how humans work. F— this lying termite.

Cool story bro. What’s your lane, commenting on every story all day long because heaven forbid we should miss out on your opinions?

Funny, though, how Emma’s experience is shared by so many women in nearly all industries.

Then unsolicited material should stay out of a film entirely instead of being turned over to other people.

I’m shocked. SHOCKED, I say... ShoCKed.

As a parent, this breaks my heart. As a Canadian, this boggles my mind (and breaks my heart ‘cause I love our neighbours across the border).

Yikes. My cat came back from being boarded a few years ago with a limp. I wasn’t sure if it was sprained or broken. I waited until the next day to take him to the vet. Turns out he had a severe break in his femur. I came home and cried at the thought of how much pain he might have been in overnight. Six years later, I…

And that poor kid spent the night with an unset broken arm, and an amazing amount of excruciating pain. Explain to him the “cost benefit” of living with that pain.

I have been to the ER twice this year.

Yes. All of this.

I am so sorry your father sucks.

That’s kinda dangerous. The kid could have made it worse if he rolled over on it in his sleep. Not to mention that many doctor’s offices don’t have x-ray machines so if it is broken, they will send you to the ER anyway.

My father did this to me when I was a kid (control issues, not money concerns) and the delay was enough for my arm to not heal quite right. It hasn’t had any deliterious effect on me physically long term, but I’ll point out that as an adult I don’t speak to my father anymore. There’s a number of reasons for that, but…

My parents did that when we were kids.

WTF? Now on top of the ER visit they most likely had to pay a copayment. Not to mention their child was probably in pain the whole time. And the answer to his question is, YES ASSHOLE. The flu is no joke. I did take one of my kids to the hospital when she had the flu. Her temp has dangerously high and she was having…

And we can’t crate the kids when we leave the house... damn it.

Since the contract defines ‘operable’ legally he should be entirely in the clear.
