“It’s not just on the men. It’s on you women, as well, on campus,”

It is shocking to me that the ONLY place I heard about this kid being a white supremacist was around here. I mean “shocking”, but also not at all.

How on earth are you reading any of this as him taking “jabs at his daughter”? It was an opportunity for him to take jabs at Pence and his fucked up homophobic views. In his show and the press he’s done about the book, he says he loves the bunny and seems to have zero problem with the Pence book. He doesn’t say…

So this is a complicated topic, but I think we need to distinguish between people overreacting to perceived transphobia versus people actually being misogynists. There’s a difference of scale there. I will totally cosign that I’ve seen gay men be awfully misogynistic (they’re men, after all), but I can’t imagine this…

The fuck? I swear, every single thing I hear from Moffat somehow manages to make me like him even less.

Ah, that makes sense then. I was going to say - that’s actually really nice that he complimented you to management. But combine that with a crappy tip and it ends up looking like someone who’s too cheap to pay for good service himself and wants someone else to do it for him.

I totally absolutely understand your rage. But I would encourage you to direct it elsewhere. Better paternity leave helps us too, really significantly. The first couple weeks after the baby are really rough. (Sorry, I’m not going to sugarcoat it - my baby is seven months old so it’s still pretty fresh in my mind.…

I think it’s an important point that social media adds quite an element to bullying. But I will say my sister was already struggling with depression and bullying by 8 years old. She started self-harming I think around 11 or 12. (She’s doing great these days as an adult though.) So even a couple decades back it’s not…

True story - first time I heard Uptown Funk, I was SURE I had heard the song before. Took me a while to realize I was thinking of a song by The Time.

Not being allowed to go out is clearly weird and problematic. But the cocoa beans alone to me might constitute a legitimate trade for services. They may have no concept of or use for money. If they value and accept the cocoa in trade, it’s fair. My husband actually once worked a contract job for a chocolate company…

Hey, so I came to this story super late (got an email yesterday from March Forward Massachusetts about the whole mess, which was the first I heard of it), but I’m wondering if I can bring up an additional point here. I’m far from outraged and I think this article does a very good job explaining the complexity of the…

That sounds terrifying. I don’t think I could ever bring myself to ride a cross-mountain chairlift. I’m scared enough of the normal ones.

I’m assuming they thought it would keep whipping back up the mountain and didn’t realize there was a pile of broken chairs at the bottom at that point? Still, you’d think you’d want to jump off the second you were close enough to the ground to do so. But I’m also guessing some of them were just in panic mode and…

Fair point, and I also laugh when people insist all videos always need to be landscape when some videos are taken and meant to be shared on phones anyway. But it IS pretty universally irritating that the person switched from portrait to landscape halfway through the video - that is beneficial to exactly no one.

I thought that’s what you can hear people yelling: “Jump off!” But then I realized probably everyone speaks Georgian.

So yes, Charlie also stole. And Violet is certainly the least of the offenders, with her sin essentially being pride (and being kinda irritating). I think I always got the impression that part of Wonka’s criteria was someone who could have the right attitude to run the factory, capable of earning people’s respect,…

I had to scroll forever to find someone else calling out Violet’s inclusion here.

I gave up on Breaking Bad after about two seasons because it was just too depressing, but I have never been able to convince anyone that I’d take Skyler over Walt any day. (I wouldn’t go so far as to say I liked her, because really I think I hated pretty much every single character on the show.) It still comes up at…

It is simultaneously possible that he did it, and the cops also tried to frame him. That racist cop, Fuhrman? He was convicted of perjury and pled the fifth to tampering with evidence. As you say, there were also clear issues with evidence collection and documentation, and issues of contamination of samples. None of…

He certainly has a very unusual face. It was actually a pretty good pick, look-wise at least, for Prince Philip.
