Because you’re ignoring the reasons why those words exist: to allow us the ability to equivocate, hedge etc. If you ask the listener to simply disregard those words, than when a speaker uses them deliberately to express insecurity as opposed to socially conditioned “niceness” you run the risk of that being…

I worked for several years as a Store Systems Integrator at Whole Foods and was in charge of day-to-day price/scan accuracy and auditing.

That top photo is EVERYTHING. His creepy lean, her polite posture; his villainesque tented fingers, her white-knuckled rendition of the graceful self-hand-hold; his leering grin, her manufactured smile. Everything about him says, “I own this whole fucking town, darlin, and I’m gonna own you, too. Would you like that?…

I suggested a app called (this name is up for revision) “Tinder for couples to find other couples not for kinky stuff but just cool other couples to hang out with because we need some mutual friends who live in this city”

No, Rob Haskell is the writer of the article. Rodriguez is the writer of the petition!

Writing for the majority, Justice Roberts said, “Holy shit, this whole lawsuit was so fucking stupid.”

Women’s sports that are incredible to watch: Tennis, soccer, swimming, skiing, golf, gymnastics, track and field, hell, pretty much all the Olympic sports... Seriously, sport is sport. If you can’t get excited watching Lindsey Vonn ski the downhill, or Missy Franklin outswimming her competitors so dominantly that is…

Another great thing about HEB is that they’re really good about obtaining and clearly-labeling “Made in Texas” stuff. Texas Peaches, Texas Citrus, and even Texas Potatoes!

I read your first paragraph, though “Well, obviously this person doesn’t live near an HEB”, and then read your second paragraph!

For a lot of basics (beans, various milks, bread, veggies, cereal) whole foods is a lot cheaper than the surrounding supermarkets. Plus the quality of fruits and veggies is much higher. Even where I just moved…

To me, this sounds fair and in the realm of inspiration not a rip-off. The riffs are both done on a piano, and are similarly styled in terms of pace, but the actual melodies don’t seem very similar to my ear. The similar use of the staccato note punctuating the motifs seems to be the big take from one song to another…

Plausible, but damn hard to substantiate.

I would argue that racism is not apparent - not proximate - in Sandy Hook.

“It’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say “nigger” in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination”
