Yeah, I was in management strategy consulting 20 years ago, and that was the term then.  It’s hilarious that she’s using an outdated term to sound up-to-date.

I used to be set on two spaces after a period because that’s how they taught us in school, after typewriters too. I finally converted and while rocky at first, it has been successful. You can do it!

There are assortment bags that are labeled by how many pieces are in them. I buy 2 of the 400 piece bags (brand name, usually one with skittles type stuff and one with chocolate bars), and start out giving 2 pieces per kid (I hand out, don’t let them fish) and end up at the end of the night doing one per kid as the…

If Israel granted Palestinian refugees a right of return, which is after all both (1) their primary ask and (2) something they are entitled to under international law, that would almost certainly end the violence, which in any event is almost completely one-sided in terms of who actually suffers casualties.  You…

It would be far funnier and a less punchable face.

The proper thing to do would have been to take both children to the principal’s office and then call both sets of parents. That the teacher in question did not do this speaks to more than just mere incompetence.

Yeah but this seems to happen a HELL of a lot more with black kids than with white kids. In fact policing black people’s hair is a goddamned institution in this country. 

People who are justifying this either don’t know or are ignoring that nationwide, there have been incidents of non white children having to endure haircuts or being rejected from school or particular events. So the “its not about race” and “it happens to white kids too” crowd can kiss my electric scissors while…

Ikea is often good for giving me ideas on what to do, even if I don’t buy from them directly.

Every time someone mentions Kissinger, I google him and am shocked all over again that he’s still alive. I apparently lose that detail the second after I google it.

Very disappointed this has nothing to do with Allen. I thought Allen Iverson opened a shoddy mall and I’m bummed that he didn’t. Thanks, Obama.

Wow! An actual (and possibly even useful) life hack on Lifehacker! It’s been a long time...

I believe sincere online apologies should be celebrated since there are so few of them.

I definitely came in too hot, feeling too much so I get you and I really appreciate someone else engaging me to bring it all back down. Seriously, I got something out of this. Thank you for being willing to be that person.

That’s actually really great. I honestly appreciate it.

It was wrong for me to make assumptions about a person’s mental state. I would not appreciate it if someone did the same to me. I had my wires crossed due to a knee jerk reaction. I had come to the conclusion that this was not race related necessarily because I’ve been in similar positions where I’ve been approached…

It doesnt destigmatize mental health to look at this man and his actions and say “he must have a mental health disorder”. It actually stigmatizes it worse because people start to think “mental illness = act in a criminal manner”.

It is not his mental health status as much as its the way that status is used to dismiss or diminish the crimes of white people. There seems to be a proliferation of whatever racist heebie-jeebies mental illness that causes them to constantly attack non white people and threaten folks with pending race wars.

Saying the white assailant “is suffering”? Check!
