Sigh, assault is legally wrong yet sometimes morally right, life is complex.

My experience in neuroendocrinology research groups has been that both males and females of otherwise identical cohorts are included at the outset of any large study. For experiments involving exogenous hormonal exposure (particularly estrogen, its precursers, and estrogen-like molecules), outcomes DO tend to be less…

I have a PhD in psychology from a department with a strong cognition and neuroscience bent. I remember asking one of our seminar speakers - a semi-prominent neuroscientist - whether he had found or even considered gender or racial differences in a study he was presenting (which had clear, glaringly obvious potential…

You’re point about Catholicism feeling like an old pagan religion is excellent - I got that a lot from people, and I just shrugged and told them that there wouldn’t be a Christmas or Easter or even a Halloween without early Christians (who ended up being known as Catholics) appropriating some of those seasonal…

Don’t forget the abomination that is Prosperity Gospel, which says that poor people are poor because they’re bad and God is punishing them....and rich people are good.

“If Adolph Hitler flew in today, they’d send a limousine anyway.”

Same reason why we say MLK Jr or JFK. His full name is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador but he is commonly referred as AMLO and has been for many many years. His actual nickname is “Peje”.

His neckbeard is bothering him.

Trolling is more effective when you don’t say stupid shit like “per capital.”

True, but keep in mind that the President only tapped into what was already there.

In the grand scheme of things, Elizabeth Warren being told all her life she’s part Native American only to find out that she isn’t and having to walk back those claims is nothing compared to the shit half the Dem candidates have done, much less Trump and the GOP.

Hell, even THAT would be refreshing.

On your last question, to the extent that “Native people” is prefaced with a squishy word like “some”, then a brief foray into “woke” Twitter would seem to indicate the answer may be “nothing”.

I will admit to not listening to the interview because i’m at work, so perhaps you are right. It just seems so unfair, because, like you said, she seems to be doing everything we could possibly expect from someone who’s made a mistake.

There’s plenty of time left to correct course and face the music in a meaningful, direct manner.

What devastated Gillibrand’s chances was Elizabeth Warren entering the race. Warren took the “progressive white woman politician with broad appeal” spot that Gillibrand was hoping to get. That left her with no obvious niche, and rather than trying to find one it seems like she’s trying to go broad instead. 

There’s no way I want someone to find my corpse in something like that.

People, this is what happens when you start serving McDonalds hamberders in the White House.

This article inspired me so much that I dropped everything, moved to Europe, and became a truck driver.
