First, some of these dark-skinned Dominicans have died (see the part about lynchings). Second, when the term “ethnic cleansing” was invented, it referred to Serbs expelling Croats and Bosnians from from the part of Yugoslavia which became Serbia. And while quite a few Croats and Bosnians were killed, most of them were…

Really, Hyundai Excel? Have some pride in your incest!

“women supposedly have no sexual urges” is a relatively recent thing in Western culture, dating to mid-19th Century at the earliest. Throughout most of Christianity the standard wisdom was that women are wanton creatures who seduce men.

The difference is making up an entire fake life history and fake family for the purpose of getting employment and acclamation.

Parking lot of REI store in Framingham, MA:

I like Brussel Sprouts. A lot. Even when just boiled - although I admit that the pairings Pinkham describes improve them greatly. But just plain steamed Brussel Sprouts are among my favorite vegetables.

Especially the “Gospel of Prosperity”. If I were a Christian, I would seriously wonder if Gospel of Prosperity is a creation of Satan. Because it is completely opposite to what Jesus (a.k.a. First Hippy) supposedly taught.

The relationship between Jimbob and Michelle is not equal, and they rather stress this fact.

Not just our bodies, but the world in general. “Toxins” in food, “toxins” in carpets, “toxins” in soap, perfume, water, you name it.

It works on the other side of gender line too. I am male, and there is — or more accurately, there was, — a whole raft of expectations about being male, to which I do not confirm. I am indifferent to cars and driving (can’t wait for a robotic car, actually), I never particularly enjoyed fixing things even if I am…

“This is a barbaric tradition that you will grow to regret, as I have.”

In real life any autonomous car would (and does) constantly record everything around it. To pull a gun in front of a robocar is like pulling a gun in front of a security camera. Of course, some criminals do not care...

Instead, police will just use their override authority, and direct the car straight to police station.

I don’t think emotional intelligence skills were ever taught at home either, at least not consciously. Historically, parents had taught their children how to behave and how to recognize good/bad behavior in others — not how to recognize other people’s emotional states.

When I read the first paragraph, my immediate thought was “Why are these skills not taught?” Everyone expects children to just develop them, and if you do not it is somehow your own fault. Glad to see this is changing.

Answering questions “too quickly” and without appearance of thoughtful contemplation is something that can backfire on anyone, not just on women. Indeed, on anything. Early expert systems designed for medical diagnosis were as accurate as human doctors, or more so. But because these programs gave answers too quickly,…

Netflix + masturbation > Sex - Netflix

As a male who does not care for blow jobs (some mouth action is good for foreplay, but definitely not coming into a mouth), I find this entire conversation hilarious.

I very much disagree. Internet may not help you work on a relationship, but it greatly helps in filtering out the relationships which could never work in the first place.
