Except they aren’t made up. They’re based on trends that take into account (at least) 75 years of data.

People were playing music and dancing in the street. Boy, bye. I have seen tons of people who are not hostile idiots mention this talking point: that by taking the monuments down, we are erasing history and dooming ourselves to repeat it or something.

If you’re trying to buy a dog online in the first place, you’re doing it wrong. (1) First, contact breed-specific rescues in your area — there is an organization for every breed. (2) If that doesn’t pan out, start by attending local dog shows and meeting the people who are showing dogs in your breed. Talk to them and…

Private rescues and public shelters are two different things. Many rescues have ridiculously strict rules, but most city and county shelters don’t — they don’t have the money or time to do that kind of vetting even if they wanted to.

The simple answer is “Don’t”. For every dog you buy from a breeder, 2 others are killed in local shelters. Society’s fascination with boutique animals contributes not only to overpopulation, but to a very high body count every year.

yes they are, by a boat load.

Well, okay. But instead of merely being disappointed by the comparison between two games, I really wish games journos would try to dig into the reasons for the differences. Because I find it incredibly difficult to believe that Bioware (or any other company) just doesn’t care about this issue, or completely lacks…

You can’t have this kind of war, there won’t be enough bulldozers to scrape the bodies from the street.

I read a post by a political science professor that I think bears noting:

We need to learn to talk with each other. We need to learn to talk to Republicans and show them that they should care about their Muslim brothers and sisters. I don’t know how. But I believe it can be done. I have hope.

Note to self: introduce more women to Mass Effect. Badass ladies are everywhere, plenty of open world to explore, there’s a huge sense of satisfaction from getting the “best” endings, and everyone knows you’re playing wrong if you don’t pick Jennifer Hale’s FemShep.
