This is by who’s account? In every single experience I have had flying they would allow someone who needed assistance to board first. If that person shows up in the middle of the boarding process, they ask them to wait. I find it hard to believe, it sounds made up to get the most sympathy, if you ask me.

they are trying to put one in canton too... its nasty over there

I think it was more because GI’s hated it so much they gave it away in trade to war starved people that acquired a taste for it (or just for nostalgia reasons).

Er, to me, this is a matter of basic math. I have lived in NYC for 8 years and the NY metro area for my entire life. I have gotten my nails done in many different places, and when you start doing the addition at most of them, the price for your manicure starts to not add up to anything near what would be a livable…

Hey, I have issues with 1,2 and three under what Caucasians wear. I am Caucasian and was not allowed to sass my parents, religiously use washcloths and when I do attend church at least wear a dress shirt and dress slacks and coat/tie if it is colder weather/high mass.

Yes, because NOTHING is “buoyant” while keeping most of it underwater.

Burying information in paperwork to sneak something by.

During the introduction, Todd mentioned it being all black, but a colorblind issue. Almost embarrassed maybe. So it came across as bigoted but also lazy. “Bad news Chuck, our incompetent field director only interviewed black inmates.” “ Damnit. Well, we got a show to put on. No way I can afford not to show it or get…

I am gay and see crystal clear how it’s a violation of free speech: The government is compelling the bakery to produce an item that contains a political message it disagrees with. Pretty clear violation of freedom of speech principles right there.

It’s a free speech issue because the government is compelling the bakery, by law, to produce an item that contains a political message they disagree with or face financial liability. If this were a U.S. case, the law would be pretty quickly struck down as a violation of the First Amendment.

Why do I have a funny feeling the same journos irritated by a child at a press conference have also muttered something about how the Black community needs more positive fatherly role models and has asked a professional female athlete how she balances work and motherhood and where is her kid right now.

The same people who talk shit about “fatherless children”.

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

Well, for starters, the bangers killing people in Baltimore and other cities aren’t paid by the taxpayers to keep the peace/enforce the law/not beat the everloving shit out of people.

And here I’ve been washing with cold for years out of pure laziness for not wanting to separate my laundry.

“if like most people, you don’t constantly carry around a reusable/ portable water bottle”

Does Marquez really think that where he’s allowed to broadcast from is damaging his First Amendment rights? I’m writing this penned in my apartment in Baltimore City, under curfew as an American citizen for the fourth night in a row. I had to play a game of “how do I not get arrested” when trying to help a…

I find it amazing/hilarious that a nicely tucked-in uterus caused them more concern than two exposed, free-swinging, highly-sensitive balls.

For some reason I'm getting such a kick out of the lady complaining that the missy elliot lyrics contained vulgar words and then labeled links to the lyrics as "NSFW" ignoring the fact that she typed said apparently vulgar words including "shit", "cock" and "pussy" into her email.

Just to be clear though, home birth doesn't necessarily mean unassisted. There are lots of countries (not the US), where midwives are more common, and they take on home births. Midwives are usually super vigilant about only taking home births when risk factors are relatively low, so let's not shit on all home births.
