SOMEBODY IS STILL TRYING TO MANIPULATE ME

Cause this can be automated such that the people sending out the emails don't know who got it.

BMI is an excellent *general* indicator for weight issues. Its works at the POPULATION level, meaning that in the majority of cases, statistically-speaking, it's a useful tool in indicating weigh-related issues for the average person, which is most people. BMI is a poor indicator for people at the extremes or who are…

Right, it wouldn't necessarily be horrible if it was just sent to all current students or students living on-campus. Then, okay perhaps annoying, but it's just letting people know about a service they may or may not be interested in. Totally not okay to use private health information to target certain people. That's…

There's nothing inherently wrong with sending out health-related emails, including tips for managing a healthy weight, though I would be annoyed. What is MAJORLY wrong is culling health center lists of students and targeting the ones that the school identifies as having a weight problem. That's a huge WTF.

OK, I'm sold. I just signed my friend up for it without telling her and am going to sit back and see what happens. Curious to see how Fred Kelly responds to a baffled married woman.

Is Roorda's Constitutional Right to use the stupid wristband? Yes. Is it wise to use that stupid wristband in a debate trying to find a commonground between the police and the community? Fucking no! What people like Roorda lacks is the common sense to ask themselves, "Yes, I can do this, but should I? Will it help in…

There are a number of narratives of incompetence, racism, and authoritarianism (to name a few) within police misconduct and mistakes that are not exclusive of each other. I see the reaction of the frank racism in some police misconduct to likely to impact those other narratives for everyone's benefit. Everything we…

I mean how can we judge her without knowing?

Reminder: Jeff Roorda was a dirty cop and was fired for making a false statement against a suspect in 1997 and his own police chief in 2001.

so who should've been kept out? the cops or the black people?

Ayup! Good old Rosie! Never met a person she couldn't be absolutely foul to. It was a gift. Few people have perfected their art quite as impressively as her.

See, I know you're being affectionate, and that's lovely, but it does make me a bit sad when someone gathers up a considerable amount of courage and comes out of the closet (still a frightening thing to do, even in 2015), and all kinds of people go, "Uh, everybody knew that already." It seems like an unkindness to…

I take it you found Jezebel after the heydey of BAngieB, legendary Lohan devotee, then? Those were interesting days for her pretty, pretty girl.

Does what he can to make people only care about blond White women. Gets mad when people only care about blonde White women.

And lots of parents who wanted kids—sometimes desperately—turn out to be shitty parents. What's your point?

I don't think a man should ever offer up abortion in response to an unwanted pregnancy. He should just ask her what she wants to do.

I believe that's the joke.

No kidding. Now I feel bad for that little girl who will now know that her father didn't want her and tried to pay off her mother.

Wear two.
