I don’t think that’s at all in line with what I said. Only those who qualify for food stamps use food stamps, which then would make your suggestion outright targeting the poor if there are no limitations placed on those ABOVE that tax bracket qualifying for food stamps. This, however, is taxing everyone equally, which…

Gotcha! Thanks for explaining that, i didn’t read the further details.

I tend to agree, but I don’t see how that applies here when the point is to get fewer people drinking soda? Not being a jerk, I’m serious. I guess the true question is - is (bottled) water more expensive than soda?

Diversity of race, status, gender, religion IS diversity of thought! It’s not just a correlation, it’s a cause. I can’t believe that tweet about Detroit is real. “The black experience” he says. Holy fucking shit.

I think the Superman connection is the worst part of the show. If they removed that entirely it would be a much better show. If this show was solely about Seg fighting to reestablish and rebuild house El after his grandfather’s “crimes” that could be a great show. Remove Braniac, remove Adam Strange, remove all…

Uhhh Justice League Unlimited???

I mean...the problem with Krypton is that it’s just...not good. It has a ton of potential, but it seems like they brought the B-team when it comes to plotting and overall story planning. But hey, I’m still watching, so I guess that makes me a sucker!

I don’t really care, but...

Though I think your language is losing you supporters, I agree with what you’re saying for the most part (no need to smack them for food, hahah). Food doesn’t need to be tied to pleasure, and; we need to eat to survive, so even if you don’t like it, just eat. It’s called discipline and adaptability and I think it…

I agree with your first line. The rest of what you wrote was WAY NICER and more thoughtful than what I was thinking. “If you don’t like what I cook, figure it out yourself” is my approach. Also, I’m a fan of explaining to youngins that what you eat doesn’t have to be for enjoyment; you don’t have to like your food,…

I wholeheartedly agree. As a Nigerian-American who knows how Nigerians typically operate, I am actually SHOCKED they’re getting therapy at all and not just being told to pray about it.

It is amusing that “conservatives” will strenuously argue that people who find homosexuality (an inborn trait, not a choice) to be immoral should be free to discriminate against gay people, then also argue that people who find modern “conservative” ideology (an intellectual choice) to be immoral are obligated to…

Just in general people primarily speak English in Nigeria because there are so many cultures and languages there that English is the common ground. The only people who don’t speak English at all are the ones who live far out in the villages, but that’s where these girls were from, I believe. #fuckcolonialism

Not that the rest of this story isn’t troubling, but the “speak only in English” thing isn’t that weird if they’re in a Nigerian university.

Stay strong and be prepared! They will try and gaslight you and then try and distract you with meaningless details. Fight for your worth, you’re amazing or they wouldn’t even be entertaining the conversation!

Yes, the star of Billions, Homeland, and—one for the costume drama crowd—The Forsyte Saga, The Hollywood Reporter reported:

I have a great credit score. I would happily trade it for a TRASH credit score if it meant my debt was gone. (I would also like to have both scenarios; I understand they are not mutually exclusive.)

Maybe the Oscars are so white because black genius is invisible to white eyes. Maybe that’s what they mean when they say they “don’t see color.”

Can we hijack this comment section to commiserate about loans? I need support right now and my huge debt is the key driver of my depression and anxiety.
