“But as data scientists and policing experts often note, comparing how many or how often white people are killed by police to how many or how often black people are killed by the police is statistically dubious unless you first adjust for population.”

Yep. You gotta read the ingredients for your own specific needs. Personally, I can use a laundry detergent that uses it, but not a dish soap, hand soap or shampoo. And lots of natural things cause allergic reactions. Honest Company is a good example. They use “all natural” fragrances, but they still trigger my asthma.…

OMG. Just thinking about Fabuloso makes it hard for me to breathe. That stuff is the WORST! It is definitely NOT fabuloso. And hey, there’s no shame in having a cleaning lady. If that’s what you need to make your household and your life work, then go for it. We had a cleaning lady that came in once a month to do the…

Agreed. An excellent point. But I have hope that in today’s world, if Unilever spoils Seventh Generation’s product line, another small company can spring up and fill the void. Thanks to Amazon, anyone can buy Biokleen or Dr. Bronner’s. But hopefully, the Unilever buyout will make Seventh Generation products available…

Or when they realize there’s a market in making products for those of us who do our research and make the connection that our skin rash is from sodium laureth sulfate, or that linalool triggers our asthma. Not everyone is an idiot who only knows simple words and believes every post on facebook.

I worry when the big corporations buy them out to eliminate the competition and then shelve their products. That happens a lot with patents, in particular. But I see nothing wrong with large companies embracing the values of the eco-conscious. That’s how we change the world. We only need to look at large cosmetic…

Biokleen.I love them!

Check out Biokleen. Family -owned business, makes safe cleaning products, available on Amazon. I love them.

I have the same sensitivities. We use Biokleen free & clear detergent. We get it on Amazon and it works better than any laundry detergent I’ve ever tried. They are a family-owned company and have a whole line of safe cleaning products.

I’m not as cynical, I guess. To me, this shows that large corporations are finally hearing what more eco-conscious people want. And as long as they don’t change the ingredients, I will gladly buy their products. Soon, every large corporation will bend to my will.

I would sympathize with her, but she is charging people rent to live with her. That changes the whole ballgame.

I don’t understand how legalizing polygamy would make it harder to prosecute underage marriage and sexual assault. Presumably they would be able to confirm someone’s age at the time of marriage regardless of the number of people they were getting married to, especially if the marriage was state-sanctioned and…

I didn’t know that responding to every shitstorm was a requirement for presidential candidates. When will Trump respond to the shitstorm of his donations to NAMBLA? Because lots of people are writing about how he donates to NAMBLA and that’s why he won’t release his tax returns. I don’t know if it’s true, and we won’t…

Like father like son. http://tinyurl.com/zger37m

A girl shooting her romantic rival, a spurned lesbian lover, a bullied girl killing her bully, would all be examples of a toxic female. Why did you automatically jump to the conclusion that the OP thought this situation would have been because of a toxic male? Maybe the male (if that’s indeed the case) was the…

And yet there is still no mention of Muslim men’s modesty. The dishdasha, the kameez, and the thobe are all meant to cover men in the same way, and for the same reasons, that the burqa covers women. This is so clearly benevolent sexism that if you can’t see it you’re fucking blind.

I support the monthly massage. After my mother died (I was her primary caregiver) I signed up for a year-long membership at a local spa which was basically just a guarantee that I would get one massage a month at a nice discount. Plus I got to use the other spa amenities like the hot tub or sauna any time I wanted,…

Why would anyone do pottery at a pottery studio instead of buying their own potter’s wheel and kiln and do it in their guest bedroom? Why would anyone go to a bowling alley instead of installing a lane in their basement? Why would anyone join the YMCA when they could dig a pool in their own back yard? Why would anyone…

The only solution is another Havi!

Yes yes and yes. We got really lucky with our little stray. And now we’re screwed because they are seriously the best dogs ever and we would never want anything but a havanese, but they are really really expensive. Thankfully there are many havanese rescue groups out there. If you have the means, I highly recommend…
