I’m a white middle-class immigrant from one first-world country to another with parents who, while not wealthy, can help me out when shit gets fucked up and I need emergency cash to pay for the next visa situation. Even with all that at my back, I have had to carefully shield and edit my facebook and news consumption…

Hi. I’m part Ukrainian. We do not say “Russia is a great country,” we say “Russia is great country,” please get your grammar straight. ;)

He has some real garbage novels, but his short story “The Jaunt” will probably haunt my sleeping mind forever.

Indeed. They have split it into two totally separate movies. Adult version is next. This is a deviation from the structure of the book, but I think it makes sense for films.

As I mentioned in another thread, I was skeptical—but this looks pretty good, for a teaser.

Basically nothing because 99.9% of the time nothing does happen. Most black ppl need the income and dont raise issues because they need to keep their jobs, and dont have the means to file a suit.

Given that half of their anchors spew this kind of shit daily, I’m guessing he was gunning for a promotion or his own show.

Which he will probably get.

Same thing that happens to all the other people who say awful shit?

Reminds me of that Aaron Sorkin article from the other day too. “You mean to tell me women and minorities have a harder time and the fact that I’m surrounded by white males is not because we’re just naturally the best at whatever we do?! GASP!”

Except that’s just what happened.

Theory is that mediocre males surround themselves with other mediocre males so as to not be outshined and are resistant to change for the same reason.

I’m sure Supreme Court Justices Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch will be super-receptive to discrimination claims.

Under DOMA, Bush had ordered the Census Bureau to recode (read: alter) same-sex-marriage responses to instead be counted as unmarried partnerships. Obama reversed the decision in 2009. 

Not totally on topic but related, this study shows that when gender quotas are imposed, it works to remove mediocre males overall from power, thus improving the quality of men in power as well as giving women a seat at the table. Death to the mediocre male. Theory is that mediocre males surround themselves with other…

Changes to the Census survey must be made no later than three years before the Census. The due date for changes to the 2020 Census is therefore April 1, 2017. For 2010, Obama was not able to make changes to the Census survey because he wasn’t President in 2007. 

Go to the gift table, leave a card saying “What a beautiful day! I hope you enjoy the gift!”, then take half a dozen cards off their gifts, and scatter them.

Having our rights slowly stripped away by a true-believer like Pence would be bad enough but to have it done by an immoral charlatan like Trump, who doesn’t even believe in all this religious nonsense but will nevertheless inflict Christian Sharia on us, is somehow even worse.

He was going to be the most LBGTQ friendly President ever! He had no conservative social agenda. He even let Caitlyn Jenner piss in the women’s room at Trump Tower. What a great guy!

Remember when people told us that Trump had always supported ‘the gays’ and that Hillary was an evil monster who only supported them because it was politically convenient?

If anything this further proves that all politicians are the same on every single issue. I know this because an idiot non-voter told me so.
