As a genomicist myself, I have to say that this comparison was rather poorly done. First of all, although it is “common sense” to imagine that identical twins are, you know, identical at the DNA level, this isn’t actually true. Certainly, they are closer to each other than ordinary siblings, but originating from the…

Being white is not a magical shield. White privilege means that a white person does not have a hard life due to skin color, not that they don’t have a hard life.

We had a reservation and we would have ordered drinks and appetizers right away if we’d been seated, so why did they make us wait?

The ref must have left her phone in her locker or car.  It explains why she didn’t call the cops.

Dude. Not even full coverage will get you a car like the one you had. It’ll get you what the insurance industry thinks your car was worth. Unless you drive and treat your car like crap, you aren’t going to replace it with a like car in like condition.

I haven’t seen it either, but that’s mainly because I’m just not into horror films. Real life is horrifying enough.

Go back to the restaurant, find the waitress you stiffed, garrote her, eliminate witnesses, declare that it's your last job, hunt down and kill the gang who killed your puppy, make love to Winona Ryder on hill overlooking wine country, enter therapy, go to prison and run assassins' guild from the inside.

They’re just mad because she is young and cute and genuinely seems to have enjoyed some portion of her life.

More than.

The plot makes perfect sense. There are just a few silly elements they gloss to move the story along. People are driving cars very successfully while bilnd folded, and same for the boat thing. It’s not a gritty sci fi thriller that’s trying to rely on those elements to drive the story. Have you seen die hard? Or any…

Aladdin is supposed to be hot and he looks like a gremlin. I AM SO UPSET

Durr durr how old are you?

Come on, I think it's a little far-fetched to think the prison guards will be high fiving him on the first day.

You know, I was (am? I have a full beard now!) a chinless white dude who’s on the autism spectrum for social disorders who could very easily have become and fit in with the incel or red pill or whatever terms is being used for “pathetic loser who can’t get laid and blames everything but themselves for it” community if…

Need more hood scoop.

If you feel like a man, then by golly you go right ahead and have a man.

I think/feel, most people have it wrong, and are blaming/worried about the wrong thing. Cellphones are not inherently evil, an 8 year old with a cellphone is not inherently worse off than a 10-year old, and that 10-year old is not worse off than the 16 year old. It’s flawed thinking that “access” is damnation.

Counter-Point: iOS 12 offers screen time limits down to the minute and app category. I plan to buy refurbished iPhone SEs for my 6 and 9 year old this Christmas and give them unlimited access to books (free rentals through our local library), no access to social media, no web browser, and up to an hour of games per…

There is simply a lot more to it than that. Rushing in and “giving aid” without having infrastructure in place for safety, medical, and other needs of the people doing such things is a recipe to make things worse. I can’t tell you how many times in my response days I had to go rescue the would-be rescuers. Now that…

And let’s not forget, these idiot white guys helped get a black guy elected President of a country that is clearly racist as shit twice. All those eloquent speeches that drew so many people to Obama? Favreau was his chief speechwriter. These guys are successful because they’re pretty good at what they do.
