And to think we were once terrified of those mythical “death panels” of bureaucrats who would decide our fate.

I take this so fucking personally. If they do this, people like my boyfriend, who is using Obamacare while freelancing and trying to get hired somewhere permanently, will have to spend their entire salary on drugs just to live. JUST TO FUCKING BREATHE (asthma) AND NOT DROP DEAD IN THE STREET (insulin-dependent…

Your browser history is local, meaning it’s on your tablet. When you delete it, you’re deleting that local information. Your ISP also has a record of the sites you’ve been to, and that record is not on your tablet, so even if you’re dilligent about deleting your browser history, you’re not able to affect the ISP’s…

It’s real simple.

God, I know.

It’s more than just emails! Also Benghazi! And all of Bill’s poor policy in the 90's. And she gave a speech to Wall Street People! Unforgivable.

Was never a fan of her, but I proudly voted for her, and whenever I stop and think about how things went down I get really angry. Especially in light of this Russia bullshit.

She should have been president...

Or! Or...

The rule of law has been temporarily suspended because the party in charge won’t enforce it on itself.

This is all part and parcel with Session’s virulent opposition to nonwhite-immigration. He has been unabashed about his desire to return the United States to the era of the national quota systems, where immigration was tightly restricted to only northern and western Europe. He also is a strong pusher of the…

In reading the dress code that another commenter posted, it seems to give far more latitude to the men: shorts are allowed if they are no more than three inches above the knee — but no miniskirts at all. No spandex pants or dresses (hence the leggings issue) seems to be aimed at the women (I don’t recall too many men…

Since the issue for United is the employee dress code for people flying on employee passes, I wouldn’t be mad if they’d made the dad change too. They have every right to require that people who work for them meet a certain level of formality when redeeming a benefit.

Why wouldnt anyone stop him from doing this? Surely someone in there knows how and what nato is.

I completely agree. I call bullshit on a Republican senator suddenly caring about rape victims. When a woman is raped, it’s between her and her doctor, and anyone else she chooses to tell. Witnesses and people in the know can report “I am here to report a rape on campus” and they can divulge the perpetrator and serve…

I know it’s with good intentions, but one of the things that you talk about when training to handle people disclosing assaults to you is that the best thing is to not talk the person’s power away. Meaning, letting them make their own choices, despite how you want them to handle it. Encouraging someone to talk to an…

I’m not super-thrilled about the proposed legislation, to be honest. It requires the name AND ADDRESS of all victims to be “divulged to campus leaders” which seems a bit troubling and vague and unlikely to encourage people to come forward. That, coupled with the criminal penalties for failure to report, seems likely…

I gotta disagree, and I was trying to go in with an open mind here. The story is fucked-up from the get go, but I at least got the impression that the Beast in the animated movie was genuinely trying to be a better person throughout the second act, whereas this dude was like “oh yeah have a library, let me neg you…
