I am pretty sure I have already tried turning it off entirely, but I am now trying it again. If it works you will be my new favorite person.

Well, I have a pretty old laptop at this point, so my experiences may not be normal, but for me Firefox is a lot more stable than Chrome. Except for anything with kinja, right now. (I occasionally get javascript errors with Facebook but they don’t lock up the whole browser.)

Then she’s a lying liar, and needs to brush up on the 8th commandment (that’s Lutheran for “you shall not bear false witness [i.e. lie]”).

The problem with this is that people who need the real kind of trigger warning actually do need it, but now there is no way for them to effectively ask for it. It’s like people who…

I’m a Lutheran and I enjoy science fiction and fantasy as much as the next completely obsessed geek. I have also extensively studied Lutheran theology. I can attest that this person was making stuff up.

Well, unless she was one of the fundamentalist “Lutherans”. In which case it wouldn’t be her that was making stuff…

However none of this has affected the incessant javascript errors I’ve been getting for the past week or so. I had to switch to Chrome instead of Firefox. (I hate Chrome, but in Chrome the error just shuts down the page and forces me to reload. In Firefox I have to force-stop the entire browser. Please don’t force me…

Weren’t they talking about it maybe being sold like five minutes ago? That is ridiculously fast turn-around for converting even a quite small building into a museum open to the public. I’m impressed.

I first encountered the term after the shootings in Orlando, at which point I was given to understand that it originated in the LGBT Latino community. However the people who taught me this were themselves white, anglo, and straight, so take that with probably a whole handful of salt.

And what’s worse is that it’s probably true. If you wore more makeup, it probably would help you get a promotion! ARGH!

I’m so glad I don’t have to work in a restaurant. In my line of work, people only feel entitled to comment on my hair, my weight, my voice, my nail polish, my make-up, my clothes, my shoes...but they can’t fire me for it.

Yeah, this isn’t even a very interesting example of passive-aggressive behavior by Minnesota standards. It’s not ambitious or creative enough to impress me.

I live in Minnesota. This is completely plausible. Ever heard of “Minnesota nice”? It’s basically code for “silently nurse a grudge until it comes out in behavior that is totally out of proportion to the original offense”.

I’m pretty sure it’s the winters that do it.

“I am a person who can make a lot out of nothing,” she said

That (how she performed while a certain rule was in place) is public, verifiable information, and therefore a perfectly fair argument to make.

I’m just concerned about the arguments that are being made based on information that may come from a leak of of a woman’s confidential information or may be completely…

But not easily bored!

It’s amazing to me how many people responding to this article know details of Caster Semenya’s medical history that haven’t been released to the public (or the media, or anyone other than Caster Semenya and her doctor).

That’s complete speculation. We don’t know that. You don’t know that. Possibly Caster Semenya and her doctor know that, but they haven’t released that information.

I’m not sure what effect it would have ven if it were definitely true, but as it is, it’s not. I might as well make decisions aout this case on the basis…

Unfortunately it’s not that clear, because a lot of what people are stating as fact about Semenya’s medical information is based on speculation (mostly based one one questionably reliable article), though, not actual evidence.

The actual evidence—whatever exists—has not been released to the public, because it’s…

Well, that was nice for the whole five minutes that it lasted.

Baking soda and citric acid are basically the equivalent of baking soda and vinegar. They react with each other, not with what you’re trying to clean. The bubbles can have a sort of light scrubbing effect, but not as much as even a casual pass with a brush.

In other words: How is this different from just using soap,…

People in Ohio are generally so used to the article that it doesn’t register as pretentious or weird. It’s just an OSU thing. (You don’t have to say the OSU.)

I think you’re also underestimating the appeal of the flagship state university in Ohio. People who want to go there are already not being put off by things like…
