I had the same thought at first, even going further and thinking that his brand of evangelical Christianity was the bigger factor in his privilege, as opposed to his whiteness. But then I realized that whiteness is a fundamental characteristic of said brand so it’s really a po-tay-to/po-tah-to scenario.

I feel like “Christian” needs to be included in the discussion of his privilege, but that isn’t the right word. His specific brand of Christianity is very popular with a specific segment of the population, but it isn’t really a denomination.

I had the displeasure of tweeting multiple times with Doug.
He is a full blown crazy uncle. He had comments about COVID, the election, etc.

If I had pressed him, he probably would have said something about Pizzagate. (Un)fortunately, I was only tweeting with him in a perverse attempt to get him to see the insanity of…

I looked at the law. What it says is pretty limited

shall not teach: any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish or anyother form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex

So, they aren’t saying that students cant feel uncomfortable. The students discomfort is irrelevant. They are saying…

First: Oklahoma is a state that is so bad at writing laws, they once legalized a form of rape ON ACCIDENT

Here is a part of the law they recently passed. I can’t parse it.

It strikes me a bit like the “run or walk” through rain.
Some people always just have this feeling that maybe they are wrong. Nice to have it confirmed

Who the fuck signed off on this fight? Mayweather might murder this kid!
I know Mayweather is older, but he is an INCREDIBLY fast and strong fighter. I might be willing to go three rounds with Mike Tyson. Mike is a power puncher and you just need to keep your guard up for 3 rounds. If you put your hands down, he is…

It feels more like Scott is being pedantic. Using Scott’s logic, I could argue that America isn’t capitalist or that America isn’t a Christian country.

He is like the person who wants to use the word “niggardly” to refer to a cheap person. It is technically correct and the word isn’t a racial slur, but you have to work…

Im not following your argument. States that had outlawed slavery(5 prior to ratification) would have had more political power, if they didn’t count enslaved people for the purpose of proportional representation.

How would that NOT have been working towards a goal of ending slavery? The entire reason that the Southern…

Lets be VERY scientific about this.
Calories are just a measure of how much heat an item gives off when it burns. This is APPROXIMATELY how much energy you can get from food, but it isn’t accurate.

Grass has 900 calories per pound.
According to you, If I ate 4 lbs of grass a day, I would gain weight. But your body…

I think a lot of things in the English language can be effectively ignored without any serious consequences. Thru instead of through, just using your/their instead of the appropriate alternative spellings, ignoring periods at the end of sentences that end a paragraph, and lack capitalization. However, the Oxford comma…

No. RVs are still a huge waste of money. Just rent a cabin. Many parks have lodges and cabins. If your goal is to sleep indoors with AC/heat, just rent the cabin.

I do too. Mostly neos, but I have a few tanks with tangerine tigers.

The arrest warrant was issued in New Orleans, Louisiana.

As long as we can still fly with fish in our carry-on, I don’t care.

The NPRM also proposes to allow airlines to require all passengers with a disability traveling with a service animal to complete and submit to the airline forms developed by DOT attesting to the animal’s training and good behavior, certifying the animal’s good health, and attesting that the animal has the ability…

A California king isn’t “smaller”. It is longer explicitly for tall people. Don’t buy a California King if you are short!
But if you are tall, it is a glorious thing to sleep on

No one shook the bottle. It is already open.
What happened is the bottle sloshed, which triggered a geiser(think mentos)

I never read squirrel girl until his series. Myself and everyone I know is a fan EXPLICITLY because of his series
