Ever since I moved away from my (extremely white) home state I’ve had to consciously remind myself not to call the cops for things. Back when I lived in VA whenever someone would call the cops for minor things at my apartment complex (which was largely POC) they would send no less than 3 cop cars and 6 cops for what,…

seems kind of simple. they stopped to piss at a gas station. drunk and rowdy bros kick down bathroom door for funnies. security guard(s) pissed and asks for money for damage. bros say nos. guard pulls gun and says gimme money gringos. hands over wallet. guard says fuck it and keeps whole wallet. fin.

Except this is 100% new information. When the judge asked them to surrender their passport it was explicitly on the basis of conflicting accounts and not looking upset enough on CCTV after the fact. If the judge had said “don’t leave the country because we have a complaint against your behavior” from a business owner…

The framing in these articles, that you should consume no calories ever for any reason because they’re all evil, is really dangerous in and of itself, speaking as a person with an eating disorder. You don’t want all of the calories to be burned off. Many of them are needed to, you know, keep the body alive and…

No. If she hadn’t married Bill Clinton her life trajectory would have been different, but it’s not as though she wasn’t already political and making big political plans for herself before they married. Other women have become senators and sec. of state without being married to a former president, there’s no reason to…

Whether it was intentional or inadvertent, I think she did a great job of explaining why she’s not the warm and fuzzy type by mentioning again and again that her mother brought her up to take it like a man essentially (should be changed to bad ass from now on.) But, really, I get the sense that Hillary may be super…

Definitely not. I know not directed at me but I have my PhD in Cancer Biology and do cystic fibrosis research now.

My mother in-law works for a public library in Los Angeles and there’s homeless people all the time there using computers. They can’t be removed unless they’re being violent or threatening other patrons or breaking some other rule. You must not be from the US or don’t understand that any public service can’t just be…

10,000 years ago people’s right to bear arms was stymied by the absence of the invention of firearms

Or you can buy the silicone cupcake liners and reuse them. But then you’d still be washing peanut butter out of them instead of throwing out paper, I guess. Your choice.

Please somebody get me out of the gray.

Really? So, you mean to tell me that someone who is white has an inborn inability to cook Chinese food? Or a Mexican can’t make decent sushi?

Schmooze. You may think it’s a waste of time, but you’ll always be reporting to someone who took a few nights out to charm customers/peers/managers over drinks.

Counterpoint for this person:

The important scientific lesson, that the kid should take to heart, is that scientific discovery requires collaboration, research, testing (or exploration, in this case), and confirmation... before you declare that a discovery has been made.

That’s largely due to the fact that everybody, including the media, has taken this story and run with it. “LOL Stupid archeologists couldn’t figure out what a kid in Canada did!”

They have every right to shut this down, and they’re not being rude, they’re being factual and academic. This entire story has been riding on…

Seriously. He has two divorces and a broken engagement and he’s spoken about these things before. She was asking about his experience as a divorced dad...I don’t get the big deal, unless there’s some rule that he is the only one allowed to broach the topic?

Homeopathy =/= nautropathy. Many drugs have herbal bases.

Just get an Enell sports bra. They’re amazing, and I wouldn’t be able to run or be athletic without mine. I dubbed mine “the bulletproof vest” for reasons you’ll see if you look into it. And it fits very snugly, so no extra weird bands required.

I don’t think the stereotype that scientific ≠ artistic is as common or as deeply entrenched in other cultures as it is in the U.S. My suspicion is that it’s a way of making ourselves feel better at sucking at science.
