It may not be just about that.

They did??? Hmmm, what was the popular vote again?

Obama did not lose the popular vote. The last president elected who lost the popular vote was George W.

Obama won the popular vote. Both in 2008 and 2012.

Aaaand I’m crying again.

Probably out in the woods burying more bodies!

And yet only the white person was named...

You’re not wrong, but that’s a very different subject. We’re not talking about actual incompetence. We’re talking about feeling incompetent when objectively, by any rational standard, one is not incompetent. Is, if anything, very very competent, so much so as to be often rewarded and lauded for it.

I am in my late twenties and I work in academia (I am a woman) and I generally move between feeling like the biggest fraud who ever blagged her way into an academic job and furiously defending my accomplishments to (often male) colleagues who dare to trivialize my work.

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

Somehow a vegan diet is “devoid” of essential nutrients but McDonald’s meals are left alone?! Why, because they are so good for you?! How about we jail all parents that give children Cheetos and Frosted Flakes and leave alone those that give their children veggies! (And in case you’re wondering, there are PLENTY of…

But it’s perfectly okay to force your kids to eat meat, dairy, and eggs, which have no nutrients that can’t be obtained in a well-balanced plant-based diet. Wonder if the meat, dairy, and egg industries are as bad in Italy as they are here in the U.S.

...Umm, fat people ARE clamoring for more character creation options lol. Haven’t seen it in Pokemon go specifically, but it’s definitely a thing.
