Because of the shitty way municipalities built public housing in the 60s, 70s (ie: cabrini greens type housing) there is a huge odor around local government directly building and administering public housing (except NYC - don’t they still do a lot of that?) - instead the idea was to provide incentives for the private…

Because, if there’s some national push to build ‘facilities’ for the homeless, it gives all the Republican owned businesses that run prisons (and some ICE facilities) yet another opportunity to run those facilities.  $$

Britain.

Oh, good lord.  That’s some history there.

Sounds like, from the list of options that it’s very, very outdated (ie: based on bullshit from the 19th century eugenics movement) and probably was just never officially instructed to remove when Loving happened.  Hopefully, Virgina will realize that without having to trot this crap to some supreme court or another.

I am honestly confused on this - I would assume the n-word isn’t appropriate for workspace conversation, no matter what workspace, nor who said it or why. Just like, our workspace got dinged because too many people were using fuck too often and too loudly.

Furries and all the folks who love nekos are going to flip over this movie ... but how in god’s name did anyone who actually saw this okay it? 

Funny how these conservative christian guys are coming out against their own work ... well after they’ve made bank on it.  It’s not like he’s going to give away all the money he made with this ministry.

Meh.  I tend to read ‘trans attracted’ as a fetish-y statement.  You’re not interested in a person but a type (and a type that’s consistently fetishized and demonized, often at the same time).  I’d feel more positively about it if it were something like ‘I’ve dated trans and cis woman loved them both/all, whatever’. …

Sometimes bringing it up gently over time helps and, depending on how invested you are in this, you can do some initial research to see if there are something like group or online support groups (that explicitly include or emphasize men since women’s food issues can be pretty different) in your area - that may be a…

If he’ll starve/go hungry rather than eat another food, is (more likely) to be a disorder and if there’s a way to encourage him to go see a therapist without being a crappy friend, it might be good to try that.

It is a real disorder, just like pulling hair, picking at your skin and other things our parents told us to ‘knock it off’.  People with this issue are unreasonably picky and will do things like vomit, or starve before eating unacceptable foods.  Some things, that in most people, are annoying or stupid habits are real…

That’s true, but on the other hand - keeping your child healthy enough so they don’t go blind and deaf due to nutritional deficiencies is pretty much the floor on acceptable parenting.

This is ... actually good news, in an awful way. It clearly connects these ‘religious freedom’ laws to (race based) discrimination and weakens their existence in general - we all knew the laws would eventually be used as fodder for racists and (probably) anti-Semitic and Islamophobic folks and hopefully that will get…

It’s kinda amusing that in the photo and the still from the video the only black woman is always staring into space/not at whatever the camera crew has directed folks to focus on.  I think she’s staring very hard at her paycheck.

Wow. It’s like he’s doing his best alienate his own base as well as everyone else. Military folks tend to vote conservative but I’m sure they’ll be hesitating at the polls this time.  I wish that the progressive wing would reach out the enlisted folks - there’s a lot of in common fruit to pick there.

Basically, you’re excited by the idea of making a bit over 6.50 an hour, if you’re making 20$ in 3 hours. I mean, sure it’s more flexible if you can just drop in/out as you like but you sure aren’t making any money on it.

I’m still not grasping what the hell is so attractive about these companies besides advertising compared to cabs. Drunk people puke in Lyft/uber cars, just like cabs, Lyft/uber cars take time to get to you, just like cabs ... except Lyft/uber are failed businesses propped up by investors, unlike cabs, cabs have long…

I vote bear’s asshole.

And witness testimony is infamously inaccurate. More so than a lot of circumstantial evidence.
