Eucalyptus has been quite a problem in southern cal the past few years. The years long drought has weakened roots, and then sudden heavy rains soften the soil, leading to falling trees. A woman was killed in her convertible when a eucalyptus fell on her waiting for a light in Costa Mesa in 2011. A lot of cities are…

As an Australian I can tell you that we don’t call them “widow makers” for nothing.

They’re not being required to report though, which is good, or hopefully to intervene at all if they’re worried it would alienate the client. It sounds like it could set a stylist up to offer concrete suggestions in addition to an ear - in your example, more like “wow, I’m so sorry you’re going through that, I happen…

At this point, I honestly don’t even know what to say- there’s just no words to express the absolute insanity of what we are witnessing. There isn’t a single touchpoint I can reference to provide parallel or precedence. Can’t yell “1984" or “It Can’t Happen Here”, because even those seem to be set in some sort of…

It is disturbing that the same species which can build a ship to the stars is the same species which occasionally rapes a horse.

Pretty soon my group will be only my husband and kids. Thankfully I have dogs.

Eh. I’m as upset as anyone about state legislators wasting valuable time and money passing abortion legislation that will inevitably be overruled (or even worse, legislation that the courts will uphold and that will infringe on women’s rights), but the bestiality thing seems like a red herring. It’s a relatively…

Just when I think America is at an all time low, I read this shit. I’m sorry training animals to have sex with you is a thing? A common thing? Who are these people and why? Just why?

Yeah it’s pretty depressing. There is a PP in Cincinnati just a block away from an elementary school and protesters would put up graphic photos of fetus parts claiming they were aborted. They would also block the sidewalk part of the driveway to keep women from entering the facility by car until they were stopped.

My parents are staunch Deplorables and have had a lot to say about some of the major protest movements since Occupy Wallstreet. The bulk of their pronouncements boil down to whiny crybabies with nothing better to do, begging for handouts, and the other Trumpy soundbites. They appear to view protesting is some sort of…

Holy shit - my nightmare is coming true.

You know what I want to see in a couple of months? I want to see a black Cupid on cards and storefronts and posters for Valentine’s Day, I want to see exactly how many lily white idiots lose their shit over a flying black baby with wings and a toy bow and arrow.

I was going to refrain from commenting on this because of getting slammed in these sections before. But I just have to say... good for her for being brave and refusing to let others question her integrity.

Preach. But I there is no joy to be had knowing that innocent people who are going to suffer...

This was, indeed, needlessly pedantic. It’s understood that when people say “the right to drive” that the mean the ability to earn the privilege of driving.

I think in this sense what he is suggesting is smart. Rural areas aren’t usually as open to change as city. Plus there is more support within city. You start small, you test it out and you expand. It also protects the female driver in this sense in SA. They still need an adjustment period and in a controlled…

Everyone should have the right to drive.

“Poorly edited”.
It’s not edited. That’s the basis of this entire post.

Except that he promised to visit Pakistan. Which actually is an important diplomatic act. Obama refused to visit Pakistan to show his discontent with the inability of their leaders to control the Taliban and their continued aggressive acts towards india. Did he consciously mean to reverse long-standing US foreign…
