I lived a half hour from this border until I turned 15. I guarantee you there are some die hard Muslims who will fast no matter what. My 90 year old, diabetic grandmother insists on fasting to her own detriment, despite pleading from all her relatives to just fucking eat something. So I do know whereof I speak.

Perhaps you should work on US politicians to accept somewhere more than ZERO REFUGEES or offer more than paltry, bare minimum aid, if you want to have ANY room to quibble about the ethics of others.

It’s an unfortunate action taken by a government stretched to its limits by refugees. Europeans and Americans like to talk about the influx of immigration, but the population of Jordan exploded from 5 to 7 million in just 15 years. Jordan has been the US’s greatest ally in the region, quietly taking on refugees from…

I’m reminded of Dan Savage’s quip about ‘small government conservatives want a government small enough to fit in your vagina.’ And, hey, there are no guns in uteruses, so obviously that’s the only place in America they’re interested in regulating.

Perhaps not, but they do eat like this.

Aw, he eats like a toddler.

Can she re-file in the future if she wants?

I know every word to the closing song for this episode (“Talkin’ Softball”). Also I recommend listening to the audio commentary for ‘Dancin’ Homer’ (S02E05) because the crew was really into baseball in the early years and it showed in more than one episode.

The idea of taking care of yourself actually makes some people angry for some reason. I don’t get it either, but I think it has to do with the origination of the phrase ‘self-care’ which is the disabled community.

You joke, but remember this meme?

It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away

Absolutely horrible. Obviously the people who snapped photos of a dead woman did not stop to think about her privacy or her family’s well-being.

I feel like your self respect is worth more than an apple watch.

If this were a just world, she would be able to sue her ex to pay for the security system she needs thanks to her ex.

Gary Johnson is a for-profit prison profiteer and a racist piece of shit. Not as racist as Trump, but I don’t think anyone saw Trump’s presidency as a real threat until it was too late. Still, if a third of the people who were going to vote Trump votes for Johnson instead, I wouldn’t consider that a huge tragedy.

So I’m just supposed to drift off to sleep, alone with my own thoughts?! You monster.

That song by the Beatles - “It’s Getting Better” always used to piss me off. When I was growing up, the Beatles were held up as the quintessential ‘cool band’ and the prime example of good music that everyone loved. Being a teenager listening to his music and then discovering this B-side about how he used to “beat…

Doesn’t FERPA apply to all students? I’m wondering about the legality of telling people how a teenager did on an assignment, and including their name, since grades are supposed to be private.

To be fair, both are considered vandalism and punishable by law.
