Jesus, isn't this thing over yet?

I think that's an interesting point that some friends and I have talked about, the bi-racial aspect. What happens when a white parent has to inform their child who is half black and half white how to move in American society as a minority? It must turn their previous life experiences on their ears, unless the parent…

Fantastic statement from Jesse Williams. I'm bi-racial, but can say that I've never really been harassed by the cops in my lifetime. My brothers however? Dudes can't move two feet without a policeman stopping jus to "check-in". This shit is real, and it would be lovely for large parts of the country to open their…

Let me join you in the disappointment. I really wanted to see that pic. In my head it was either a big cute guy stuck halfway in the window or a big guy sticking his head in there yelling "drop my chalupa!"

I completely agree that it is asshole-ish behavior, but doesn't a claim of discrimination imply unequal treatment? So if EVERYBODY is getting equally screwed is it discrimination?

What bothers me about this is that there is no mention of the treatment of other employees who were granted specific schedules to accommodate their religious practices. Are there employees who ask for Saturday or Sunday off for their own religious practices? I even went and read the article and didn't see any mention…

I am not an expert on hipsters but I am an expert on Back to the Future and I live near Williamsburg, so I feel like that qualifies me to say that it can be way more hipster than a delorean in a coffee shop. In fact, I would argue that Deloreans in coffee shops have nothing to do with hipsters.

So instead of finding ways to get her resources for caring for her children, they... strip her of more resources by throwing her in jail? This makes sense.

I think you underestimate the crazy of Quiverfull folks. The kids are always chaperoned when together before marriage to keep them "accountable."

i wonder if she can see Mecca from her kitchen window ????

I guess it depends on whether you think a sexual urge is a moral failing. As stated in the article, it is the behavior, not the inclination that needs to be corrected. These people have the most taboo desire in society and want to make themselves safe. Absolutely they should get help.

I'm glad you acknowledge that you don't know what it's like to grow up surrounded by religion. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT that easy to "cut and run and leave those dicks behind." You risk losing the love, support, and approval of your community - possibly the financial and emotional support of everyone close to you. That…

Religions need more people like her. Sadly, they just force them to leave which is why these fucked up institutions will never change.

Especially let us flag shit. Let the community work for you. It only makes sense.

A few thoughts after many years on the Gawkerverse:

I deliberately avoided that joke so no one would claim this was a disguised sponsored post. You know how hard it is to leave a joke that obvious on the table? I'm glad commenters can make up for it.

Or saving 15% or more on car insurance.

How could I spare 15 minutes when I can work at home with Google making $77 an hour?

*HEADLINE. Goddammit I meant headline. Oh I give up.

As a costco employee, it warms my heart to see great articles like this that don't just bash us and say everyone else is better (I'm looking at you, yahoo "news")
