If the laws were put in place within the last 10 years or so I would say, sure it was to protect biz. But the reality is that it creates health standards. Think of it like restaurants, those policies are not put in place to protect the companies, they are there to protect the customers. While it is cool to go hardcore…

They’re apparently also going to kill the ‘Diva’s Title’ and going back to ‘Women’s Championship’. There’s supposedly a new belt that’s a white version of the WWE Heavyweight Championship, complete with side plates.

Smart move, honestly. The women’s division is going to be stacked with talent over the next couple of…

My favorite part was when she fell on her face.

Yes, but it is an elderly Asian male experiencing the trauma so obviously that made Anna think the whole thing is HI-LA-RIOUS.

Hey, I mean, yeah. That’s the kind of attitude the gaming scene needs these days.

It’s not common in the west, but it’s been a staple in the diet of people living in China, Japan and Korea for centuries.

The stuff is delicious, just usually way too salty for my liking. I prefer my dry seaweed with only a tiny sprinkling of salt, or none at all.

Oh, I don’t think it’s that. The English and Europeans have absorbed LGBTs into soaps and even kids TV in a way that we’re just barely touching in the U.S. right now. But we’re almost on a complete par with them and them with us.

Yeah I didn’t want to get into a fight with anyone, but I use a lot of Korean skincare and “whitening" is about cell renewal and hyper pigmentation spot reduction. It's an odd translation but isn't to bleach out skin per se. I don't know about other parts of the world of course. Also, lancome and other US companies…

Don’t mess with the IRS

Serious question. Who will be teaching at the public schools in Palo Alto if the teachers can’t afford to live there?

People don’t see all the paperwork and data analysis. There has been an increase in both because of No Child Left Behind. I spend a lot of time looking at tests to figure out if my students are hitting their IEP goals and thinking of things that are working or not. Good teachers spend a lot of time reflecting on their…

I have four parents (divorce + remarriage = 4 parents) who are teachers, I feel this so much. I spent so many weekends at school with them because my parents needed to go in and do something, grade, lesson plans, lab prep, school plays, sports coaching, concerts, etc and there wasn’t childcare on the weekend. I…

But most other jobs hours aren’t off book as much and publicly funded. If I complain about mine as a software developer people at leas believe me on the time I spend working and they aren’t usually the ones paying my salary.

the scary thing is that this isn’t a new trend, it’s been happening for over a decade. and the real issue is that the most powerful people in these communities don’t really care because they send their kids to private schools anyway. the people who’s families depend on public schools in places like palo alto are…

Except the oogey boogeymen of their games are the worst part of their games, often more of an annoyance than anything actually scary. The worldbuilding is where they actually have shined.

There is actually a “back-catalog” of actual, authentic proverbs from the different language groups and regions of Africa and there is a written record of many of them (eg. anthropologists, linguists, historians and literary scholars—oftentimes native speakers of the language—have over the years written down the oral…

wasn’t “ancient Chinese proverb” more or less used interchangeably for decades? Chinese may also be “Asian”, “Oriental” or “Japanese”, contextually speaking. that old Asian mysticism that was common lore among people who have basically never actually met an Asian person outside of a television set or who never…

Source. And according to court documents, “no one tried bothered to try to claim her” is not even remotely correct. Two years ago the father switched his preference from reunification with him to placement with the relatives in Utah that have custody of her sister.

In CA foster care, the goal is 18 months: the parent has that amount of time to access services and fulfill requirements to be reunited with the child. They try to place children with relatives first, then resort to other options. If nothing is resolved in 18 months, they move to make the child available for adoption.
