I think thats an easy academic position to take, but it asks alot of people to reject plastic surgery when the idea that beauty is independent from appearance will never realistically change in their lifetimes.

I think that someday, when the playing-field looks different, then we can blame people who get plastic…

The thing with Catholicism is that it really changes based on the local congregation- yes there is a command structure that eventually hits the Vatican, but underneath there are so many people that range from uber-Conservative to very chill and rolling their eyes as they read the mandatory email sent out about…

I wonder if the perception has been changing in an unfortunate way? I seem to remember when I was little, my parents really considered homeschooling because they thought the local public school wasn't hard enough.

I have no love (infact I have negative love) of the Catholic Church, but the new Pope just made a statement saying that atheists are still included in heaven if they live moral lives, and God actually likes that they follow their own conscience. I think this dude is legitimately a lone crazy- and while yeah…

Bonus: Karwartha ice cream. Mmmmmm.

That's not a rhetorical suggestion, I LITERALLY want them to email me back telling me if they're mentally slow so I can make sure you they go to anymore night time events.

Yeah... I don't see the appeal of like opting-in to a social "command structure."

Why would anyone want to formalize social hierarchies so they become weird bureaucracies is beyond me. "How many years-in-rank have ya got?"

The Muskoka's are high end Ontario cottaging though... normal like duel-income school teacher families (my uncle!) go farther north, or in other directions and pay like a third of that for their cottage week.

(Not excusing the damage- but yeah, $3000 isn't chump change)

I can only offer some entry level academic experience (my school programs were >70% female, and the total staff probably had a women to men 60:40 or greater), but as a student and employee I very rarely encountered situations where my gender worked against me, and in those cases where it did, I chalk that up mostly to…

Dear white people:

Latin people as my dad said: "can travel everywhere, look like everyone, and don't get kidnapped."

Also:
-people at work
-people reading on the subway
-people alone at night
-people outnumbered by you and your group of friends

Being on the cutting edge of popular culture is a proud Republican tradition.

It's not that- arousing isn't inherently a bad quality- it's more a bigger problem with how women are depicted so consistently in a gratuitously sexual way throughout video games as a genre.

Is it at all possible for an airline or company to sponsor you? I have literally no idea if this is remotely plausible in your industry, but commercial pilots are in very high demand and you're months away from being one of those rare pokemon. Maybe someone would give you the l0an in exchange for like a 5 year…

F*** yeah, Stomping Tom!

That's a 20 year old movie that didn't receive critical acclaim.

I was fortunate enough to catch a show if her drawings in the NY Gagosian a few years ago- really great. I think the MET had one of her paintings on permanent display for a while? Not sure if its still hanging.

I hope so, I didn't hear it in 2009, but it could have been underground or come back. I remember being there as a freshmen two years earlier, hearing it for the first time and just thinking "this is really not ok."
